 Federals. means that it will serve to prove an end to the old stars while it will give the young players an opportunity to make goods-. This @ the opinion of Johnny Evers4
 Ignoring the financial. ethical, legal and other viewpoints. the brainy Fsvers says that the Federal league is a bless lngg in dissuise-tliat is, from stand. point of it's probable effect on the play tng end of the national pastine-
 Evers had the following to say in q recent Interview:
 T believe if the Federais carry out their plans and manage to esta hlish a third major league that 1t will have q marked effect upon baseball I am not considering the money that will be lost or the cost either to our club or fo the fna5or leagues, but am trying to look at it in the light of the fan who wants to see baseball we'll played.
 If the Fedora1s take a hundred r1a- 5or league players, which They claim they will. they will be able to put up almost as good an article of baseball as either Of the major leagues will. do not know that they can or have taken that many. but am figuring on the basis of their own statenents. Even if they have that many, they will still be the third league and scarcely better than the Class A leagues.
 eff they manage to weaken the mar 5or leagues as much as they claim the majors sfilI will have better clubs. The Federzls are after old and tried play men who can be depended upon to make a good showing the first year at least They must deliver major league ball to attract any interest.
 we in the old leagues must i'll the Eaps with young players They dare not experiment. with youngsters. The result if they should remain in the field, win be that In two or three years the stars they take from the major leagues will be worn out and our youngsters will be developed into stars.
 Tt is the history of baseball. The Brotherhood robbed the league of prac- ticalIy all its star players. When the war was over half. the stars were done for and the young players had been developed into stars.
 If this Federal league acco1np1ishes all 1t says it will do it still will not be as good as either the American or Ma tional league Tn two years it will slide back, while the kids we develop will be stars. and the Federals will have to develop new material Eff they last that long In a way Ggnoring the might do good along with the harm All three leagues then would have to devote their time to developing young players, and when the field narrows down to as many clubs as can be sup ported there will be a large number of good players to pick fromand better teaxns-ss

Hilton. in a recent remark about the shirt sleeve playing. said that he prac- ticed a few times playing without coat. but. finding that it gave too much play to his arms, he gave it up Mani festIy, he did not practice sufficiently long. One cannot shed the habit of a lifetime in a day. week or month. For golfer to say that he cannot play his
 best game when he is the freest and needs a restrainer like a coat is equiv
 aIent to admitting that he needs me- schanicaI aid. The British made much
 sport of the American trotting horse
 when he first appeared in England on
 account Of his knee boots and other
 equipment, but the coat of the British
 golfer may be classed in precisely the
 ventitious aids.
 As a matter Of propriety, there is
 nothing to be said consistently against

 Wykagy Country club at New Ro- che1le, the metropolitan open cham
 pion and himself a Scotchman, always plays in spring and summer in shirt sleeves, and fit would be hard. indeed, to find a nattier. cooler. more attrac- tive dresser on the links than Cham ! pion Smith. The British golfers have yet to take to heart that remark of Hamlet anent the players:

 Wherein I'll ease the hghtness of the l swing. Hawaiians in California believe that Duke Kahanamoku's defeat by Robert Small in the swimming race at Homo lulu recently spells the beginning of the end for the island swimmer. Though the event was in worlds record time, they think that Kahananioku will be- lieve he is hunaed'-Hawaiian for 'sjinxed',-and let it prey on his mind. A "kahuna'' is a sort Of Hawaiian medicine man, who can put the Jin7<'' on his enemies. Islanders here say l that Kahanamoku may fret himself out of condition over his defeat. A close survey of his performances during the last year, however leads lo-
 cal swimming experts to the belief that
 the duke is simply slipping.
