THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG LocAL ACUSE DEFEATED KI GAME OF THE SEASON Pitched Splendid Game for Locals and Miner Great for Syracuse--Five of Seven Scoreless--Bert Daley. Made. Two Lost Good Big Chance 30 IN BEST what was easily the best ball Seen on the local fleld this sea- he Syracuse Elks defeated the ston seniors here last evening exhibition game, the second of D-game series, by the score of The game by agreement went #aven innings, due to the late- of the start, this being caused the heavy downpour of rain which peded the contest. Despite the .Neavy rain thet had fallen, there was fair-sized crowd on hand, and the field was in great shape. The ball played was air-tight near- "ly all the way and was marked by clever work by the ouffleld of both feams. Bert Daley was the outstand- ing star of the whole game and con- tributed two beautiful catches, the second being a sensational one-hand dive affair, that seemed to he almost "an impossibility. Daley made his first good catch in the second inning when he ran far down the track to grab Elsemann's drive. It was high over Daley's head but he picked ft off the wire. The other was in the fifth when Poune put one away but Daley speared it with one hand as he fell. He was also one of the four to hit safely and turned in good ball. Burst, right fielder for the visitors, contributed something novel when "he took Thompson's fly sitting down. He backed up for the long drive and in doing so backed against the little hill and sat down. He saw he could i hot get up in time to get the ball 'standing up and he sat there and . jeaught the ball. It was a clever bit of work. ~~ "Del" Cherry broke into the-pitch- dng game again and came through Well until the seventh when he was stelleved by "Bubs" Britton. Cherry id remarkably well and had five strikeouts to his credit. He fanned 'the first two men to face him and "the firet man In the second. He also got the first man in the third and with two men on bases in the third 'and two out, he retired the last bat- on strikes. Cherry showed nty of speed and control and d that he has plenty of pitch- g ability. : here was not an extra-base hit in game until the first of the | when Miner, the visiting ler came through. The pitching el throughout the game kept the 8 on edge and the work of the Ivers was great when It is con- that Cherry was touched for ix hits and Miner four.

The other two runs were scored in the seventh when Kingston blew. With one out, Cherry walked the next man and Miner bingled for two bags. Poune lifted a long fly to left and Eisemann scored on the throw in. Slake reached first on Halbert's error and Miner passed through. Arniel threw wild to second but Cherry grabbed the ball and threw to Batstone to get Slake at third. Batstone dropped the throw but Blake slid' over the bag and Bat- stone tagged him.

They looked to be away for a start in the ninth inning also but the rally was cut short and the game promptly ended. The box scpre: SYRACUSE ELKS. AB RH Poune, 2b .... Burris, + one Draggett, 3b ..

SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT The two splendid catches made by Bert Daley in yesterday's games were features of the contest. Daley's first catch was real good, but the second was a real thriller. The financial condition of the Kingston Senjor team is grave and unless some plan is devised whereby the difficulties can be overcome, it looks as though Kingston fans might have to forego the pleasure of seeing sem dor ball for the rest of the season. - The Circle-Six and Victorias crash into # again this evening, unless another squall comes up. This is the play-off of the tie game played some time ago. The game should attract a big crowd this evening, | There is little doubt that it would be a drawing card.. 800 |° "Bubs" Britton launched forth as a pitcher last evéning and started off as though he might show something. His period in the box, however, was too short to give the fans a real onceover on his work as a mound- man. He has the appearance of a good flinger anyway. The Summer School, students have lost no time in getting on the job at the new tennis courts at the university. Since the school opened on Monday the courts have béen in constant use, It is to be_hoped that the Supremes and Treasures will not quit their game now for the rest of the season just because the championship has been decided. ~ The interest in the girls' teams is still high. Exhibition games with a Toronto girls' team might be considered. George Richardson Memorial Stadium could be secured for such a series. If games with a | Toronto girls' team were arranged, and held in the Stadium, some of these "'ardent" supporters would have a chance to show how really en- | thusiastic they are when they would have to pay an admission fee. Judging from the crowds .that attended the softball games, that is. | the girls' games, one would be led to believe that the teams were making well out of them. When some of the amounts that were received from the very large crowds that attended the games were learned it was figured that less than three in ten contributed anything. Surely if a game is worth going out to see, it. is worth at least a dime or fifteen cents, What seems to be the matter anyway ? The Kingston Seniors were slated to play in Belleville against the Belleville Nationals to-day. The league leaders were confident of trim- ming Walter Gerow's outfit again. Van Young, pitcher for the Kingston Seniors, has come along won- derfully well this season, and has turned in some good twirling. ' Young has had more chance to strut his stuff this year than he ever had before and he is showing that he has the goods to deliver. Young, in addition, is a popular favorite with his team-mates. ¥ "Liz" Walker has developed into a mighty arbiter. He was one of the two umps. selected for the girls' softball, final and handled the job well, according to reports.

Nothing is more deceptive than distance, in golf the player is con- stantly moving about and trying var- lous links, so he should be a good judge. Tournament players just have to be, else they crack at odd mo- ments for no other reason than fail- ure to know how far it is to the green. Too many golfers depend $n the other fellow. That is the wrong ineory. There is more to the game than copying the play of an oppon- ent, especially if he is better than you. No two champions use the same weapons, They get home by différent routes. Each is a star be. cause he knows his limitations with his clubs. That is usually the way with the average golfer. all about it, Golf holes are deceptive as to length, some'more than others. No one can rely on guesswork as to dis- tance. There is one sure plan to follow in judging the length of any hole-- follow the score card. On it is the distance in yards. By doing that you then know what you have to do. And you can figure it out with mathema- tical precision if you have made it a point to remember the distances of various holes you know well, He thinks he knows.
