"Bo mb-throwing involves a style| pecularly its own, You must re- member that the thrower stands in a trench from eight to ten feet deep; the Allies' trenches are usually cight feet, those of the Germans ten. The 'bomb. is thrown very much after the motion of a cricket bowler. The left hand is held upward poiniing in the direction in which the bomb is to be thrown. The right arm held stiff and out to one side, and the throw, or toss, is mala with a gentle stiff-arm overhand sweeping motion, which sends the bomb or practice missile clear of the trench and oyer : toward the objective trench, . "It is not an easy throw to learn, but once grasped there is no trouble about it at-all.

Next wintér, or the winter after the war ends, baseball fans who want to enjoy a winter season of the sport would do well to reserve quarters at Monte Carlo. For, if the plans of the! Casino managers do. not go astray,' the first Monte Carlo season after the war will have as its piece de resis- tance six weeks of baseball between the New York Giants and another leading téam. The grounds have already been chosen. They are the present foot- ball grounds in Condamine, and the Casino authorities are only waiting for definite signs of the end of the War to open negotiations with Amer!- can club owners, with a view to bringing two or more teams to Monte Carlo for a winter season, Their idea'is that instead of the teams: going south in February for six weeks' training they could 'go to Monte Carlo about the middle 'of | January and give a season there| which would take the place of the| | spring training at Marlin and other | southern resorts, : | i | | FRED.

When a ball is hit the fielder simp- ly touches the rim of the glasses and they fall down in front of the eyes in just the 'proper position so that, he has a chance to see the approaching ball even though he is looking direct- ly at the sun.

The event was called-off because of the withdrawal of many of the best entries, Princeton, Columbia, Yale and Harvard having all disbanded their crews on account of the war conditions. Frank Kramer to Retire. Friends of Frank Kramer, the na- tional bicycle champion, are of the opinion that at the end of the com- ing outdoor campaign the greatest of all bicycle riders will retire from active competition. Kramer is a member of the committee of the American Racing Men's Union, and the enthusiasm he is showing in this movement is a strong. indica- tion of his contemplated decision. Kramer has several flattering offers | to go into business, and these in- | vitations will be held open for him | until October, | Kramer has been riding a bicycle | éver since he was able to touch the | pedals with his feet. During his | eighteen years' racing Kramer has {| won more local and national cham- | pionships than any other rider. Battle Songs on Diamond. Friends of the game declare that baseball this year will perform a na- tional service by affording a distrac- tion from the grim tension of war.
