ENCOURAGEMENT for Youngsters.
The new law will not only be a big
thing for those now in the professional
end Of the game, but will also tend
to encourage young men to enter the
sport as active exponents. The op-
portunities in a monetary way greatly
exceed those in other professional
athletic fields of endeavor or in the
more staid pursuits of industrial af-
fairs. When placed on legal basis
many will enlist who otherwise could
not be persuaded to launch into the
professional field.
BY the same token there no longer ex-
lists that vigorous opposition and antago-
nism to the professional end of the sport

NEW BATTING RECORDS.
Batting Heavier This Year Than in
Long Time.

NEW YORK. August 12.-When the
base ball season closes in October the
fans will probably have new batting
records to discuss. Judging from the
way the batters in both the American
and National leagues are hitting the
ball this year new records are sure
to be made. During the present sea-
son an unprecedented number of ex-
ira a-base drives have been made. There
Is every reason to believe that new rec
ords will be established for two-bag-
gers and three -base drives as well as
for home runs.

panions. Secretary Phfander Knox and

The President tramped the green's in an
energetic manner, and hts broad smile
and affable talk indicated genial good
humor and contented mind. Only once
did his face relax, and that was when he
overplayed an approach to the third fair
green. He seemed happy as ever few
moments later, however. when he made
the hole in three additional strokes.

caught by the wind and rolled con-
