The great majority of fans were under the Impression that Arthur | Twigg. umpire in the junior league, was a paid official. It was a great surprise to learn that he was not. While Twigg's sportsmanship should be appreciated for acting without pay, It seems' small business to ask a man to go out -and umpire ball games, take the abuse that is hurled at him and everything else and then get nothing out of it. | Many fans claim that Victorias have hit him hard.

Kingston has played air-tight ball season and this and not alto- Sather poor playing on the part of other teams, has been largely Te bonsible for their victories. Many fans are of the opiniog that this Year's team is better thalthe cham- pions of last season and therefore it's going to take a wonderful team beat them. Nobody in Kingston lleves that Belleville ean beat the And it must be faken into consid- | ration that the congitions for play- ing baseball last Friday night were ¥ery far from perfect. It Belleville are judged correctly, they are a fight ing aggregation and will play above their heads In an effort to avenge that stinging defeat received in the last game here. Oulette was a fizzle in that game but would not be at all surprised if the-same Johnny walk- ed ouf to the mound to-day and turn- ad In a wonderful game, : No doubt fans would not be fussy about going to see another ball game like that of last Friday but the chances are that it will be different when George Sullivan starts things Boing to-day and 4 large crowd should be on hand.

Personally .I have fussed around with all of them and I carry more football scars than from any of the others. On the gridiron the odds are always strongly against the ball toter. Basketball, until the officials be- gan blowing the whistle for fouls at the slightest provocation, demand- ed most highly developed condition. Of the sports that call for direct contact between two individuals, I believe boxing is the toughest. Aside from the severe physical strain en- tailed, there is a mental battle going on from the tap of the goug to the finish. Sports like golf and billards are tougher on the nerves, because the action fsn't continuous and the play- er has planty of time to fret over his mistakes. By Gene A . I paid especial attention to Chick Evans and the manner in which he plays his iron shots. Nobody can control a mid-iron or a mashie-iron shot better than Chick. > I noticed that he always had a firm grip of the club--that fs very essential. Also that he held his body perfectly still and allowed the arms to do all of the work. That his pivoting, what little he does, is rhythmical and in perfeet co-ordin- ation with the back 'swing. With that kind of a swing there of having the club wabble, or of having the co-ordination of the arms and body upset. Evans, with a three- quarter swing, is able to hit the ball always a firm and true blow. I also watched Bobby Jones. His firm manner of playing fron 'shots was also impressive. 1 could not Belp but note how firmly all of these stars, Hutchison, Hagen, Evans and Jones, played their iron shots. 4 Firmness is the keynote of a sue- cessful iron or mashie shot, and to obtain this firmness one must re- member always to keep the left arm straight, : I ---------- HITS AND JABS By Joo Williams. - A one-two punch is a valutble as- 4 set for a prize fighter but it won't! do him any good to take ome too many. . is never any danger of slopping overy! ght-heavyweight champion, who gave Young Stribling a terrible beating at New York for the title | THE REFEREE Batnaute Did Jock Malone ever knock out Roland Todd, the English middle- weight?™--F.

Unquestionably the resin situation is going to create some unpleasant situations before the season fe over. 'While no word has gone out as yet, American League umpires will no' doubt be notified that the use of resin Is banned. It is possible some American Laa- gue pitcher may have the nerve to ask for the resin bag. . Not getting it, since there won't be any in the American League, he might take his case higher up. ? Then there is the world serjes angle. In reality the resin bag seems like a small matter, yet it may stir up a lot of trouble before the season is over. -------- Few Young Catchers: The catching end of baseball is most important."
