This fast | youngster will be a great favorite in Toronto this season. He has done well in all of his games and kept up the goed work Monday at Richmond ELEVEN TIMES CHAMPION Jay Geuld is a Wonder at the Lawn Tennis Game. Seldom has a champion enjoyed more fully the fruits of his prowess in sport than+has Jay Gould dn the realm of tennis. For the eleventh consecutive time he has been crown- ed as the title holder in the national amateur championship, and it be- comes more convincingly evident that his supremacy will not be ser- iously threatened for some years to come. hat coterie of players who have been clamoring for his title must feel certain now that their sk'll s far short of that necessary to humble Gould. Relinquish the championship he must at some fu- ture time, but when such a happen- ing is recorded the name of the suc- cessful antagonist will doubtless be one that is as vet unheralded among followers of the ancient game, There i, of course, one other alternative that Gouid wlll retire, as he did from the open championship. But that possibility is bardly a visible factor at present . Gould is too firm a devotee of the game, too proficient a wielder of the racquet, to pass the championship mantle to other' shoulders without a struggle. To watch 'Gould- in the court one is nat-| urally first impressed with his skill, | and, secondly, with the keen relish with which he plays. He never ap- pears to take the gage too seriously, even in a championship match, and this may in some degree account for his steady amassing of titles year after year . There is the same care- free style of play which character- izes the natural champion as opposed to .the manufactured champion Gould combines aptitude ad con- fidencd and perseverance, and the re- suit is a brilliancy of play that is the despair of those who would like to tread the path to a championship, but who find his presence an insur- mountable obstacle. LEADING MAJOR HITTERS and in Gowdy--Cobb American. ' {Tris Speaker of Cleveland, cham- pion batter of 1916, got away to a flying start in the race for hitting honors in the American League, his official average for the firsr six games of the season being .400, 25 points ahead of Peckinpaugh of New York. The averages include games of Wednesday, April 18th. Cobb, Detroit, is seventh the list with an average of .333. Lei-| bold of Chicago and Hoblitzel of Bos- ton lead in stolen bases with three each. Cobb has two. Barry of Bos- ton tops the list in sacrifice; hits with four and in runs scored with eight. Six are tied for home-run honors with one each. Walkgr, Bos- ton, leads in total bases with seven- teen, Chicago is leading in club bat- ting with a percentage of .258 and in fielding with .938. With the National I little more than a wee averages published last Saturday show that the leaders of last scaton have not yet struck their stride Many of the mew men, in the league have gone to the front. Hank Gow- dy eof Bos ton leads batters with an average of .600 and Benny Kauff of New York is mext with .558. Baird of Pittsburg leads in runs scored with six. Roush of Cincinnati leads in total bases with 20. In the home run department six players are tied with one each. The stolen base re- cord shows five players tied with two each .

The president of the National l.a- crosse Union finally fell to Joe Lally of Cornwall after iiiuch discussion during the meeting o° the N. L. U. The application for admiss on to the league from the Tecumseh club'; of Toronto was read, and Fred | Thompson, late of the Rosedales, | gave the N. L. U. an outline of the | plans of this club for the season. The meeting finally decided to al- low the matter to rest until next week, when the clubs will meet again for the final make-up of the league and the drawing up of the schedule | for the season. The Ottawa clu re presentatives felt that they could not make the trip to Toronto at their own expense. ) Tecumgehs offered to pay half of the travelling expenses of the Ot- tawa and Cornwall teams, but the Shamrocks and Nationals stated that | they did not wish to have all the] heavy expenses of the league. The clubs also were against the idea of the percentage system and if the To ronto team is taken into the fold it is more than likely that a double | schedule will be played.
