KNOWING, WHERE TO THROW
 BALL HELPS FIELDERS.

THEE great thing in fielding is to know
 where to throw the ball after it has been caught or stopped and to be care full how the throw is made, for more games are lost by wild throwing than by any other fielding mistakes. Of course in conventional plays in the in field there is only one place to throw to, and the, fielder does not. haveNto use any Judgment With no one on base the throw, after handling a grounder, must always be to first base.
 In the case of most double plays the spot to throw to has been figured out in advance by the fielder, who antici- pates every possible play that can come up and is ready for it. Good judg- ment has to be used at times in trying to force a man at second Unless it is reasonably certain that the out can be made, it is better to throw the ball to first base and make sure of one out. If the play to second fails, nothing has been accomplished and the attacking side is in better shape than before.
 Quick thinking in the diamond is a necessity for first class fielding. Per haps the greater number of mistakes are made by outfelders. The habit of throwing needlessly to the plate is a very aInateurish one, and the tendency to make this long throw should be when there is a man on third, it is all right to try for the out at the plate. even if it is rather a difficult chance, for nothing is lost if the play fails. as it probably will.
 But. in the case of a runner scoring from second on base hit to the out field. Judgment must be used. If there is no possible chance to get the run ner the throw had better not be made, for It allows the batter to go down to second, where he Is in Q much better position to score than if he was held at first.
 Pitchers can help out a great deal on throws to the plate # they size up the play quickly and rightly. They can post themselves in the diamond, and, if it is seen that there is no chance to get the runner at the plate, they can intercept the throw and try for an out on the batter if he is running for sec ond. Good and accurate throwing re- quires more than a strong arm.
 Brains are needed in handling the ball and Judging where is the best place to shoot it along.

CHAMPIONS come and champions go,
 and during their departure they often have to take a stray kick now and then by way of good measure. This remark applies to golfers. and if you don't believe it ask Francis Oui- met
 When the Woodland player startled the world by defeating Vardon and Ray in the playoff of the national open title at Brookline in 1913 and supplemented this feat the following year by win ming the amateur crown at Ekwanok there were those idol worshipers ready to proclaim him well nigh invfncible, likely, in fact, to go on winning na- tional championships indefinitely. Oui- met is a great golfer, and he may win setbacks this season only serve to prove further that the way of the champion is hard.
 One of the failings of human nature is to go experimenting. There prob ably never existed a golfer who didn't at some time or another partly change his style. The moment something goes wrong he starts seeking a remedy, and then the real trouble begins, for, as a rule, the more one experiments the more hopeless becomes the tangle. Ouimet's long irons have not been go- ing to his satisfaction of late, and there have been times when his putting fell
 
 There is really nothing very wrong with the Boston golfers game What he needs more than anything else is a long rest. For more than two years now this much sought after amateur has been on the go. He said after be- ing put out by James Standish, Jr., in the championship at Detroit that he expected to lay off for year. Ouimet has about as much chance of quitting the competitive game for a year as a small boy has of refusing a box of candy
 To get back to the reference to ex- perimenting. every one knows what a time Jerome Travers had with his wooden clubs. In the early days, though, all clubs looked alike to Jerry. By and by something went little wrong He tried first one remedy and, then another. finally becoming so hope lessly off with his play clubs as to con- fine himself almost entirely to the irons. Some months ago Travers de- clared he had discovered what the trouble was, and he gave Arthur Reid, the Upper Montclair professional, credit for setting him right. It was nothing more or less than getting Travers to keep the right elbow down instead of Tipping it up like a bird with a wounded wing. Reid's sugges-. ton was perfectly proper, yet when Travers followed it he was only going back to first principles. In other words, when Jerry won his first Metropolitan championship at St. Andrews, in 1906, there was no hitch in his back swing.
 Little wonder that Ouin1et is now ex- periencing difficulty with a club or two. He wouldn't be human if it wasn't so.

Another Ten Eyck In Rowing World

A NEW rowing coach of more than ordinary ability has startled the college and club world. He is James A. Ten Eyck, Jr of the Duluth (N1inn.) Boat club Let no one be surprised if he is found in charge of the crews of some big university in tie very near future. Ten Eyck, Jr.. is the son of the present coach of the Syracuse univer- sity crews and was himself a famous Syracuse stroke a few years ago. The feat which attracted special attention to Ten Eyck was the winning of ten championships at the recent national regatta at Springfield, Mass. The Du- luth club entered eleven crews in thir- teen events and won ten of them.
 Ever since Ten Eyck took up his work at Duluth he has had phenone- nal success He seems to know how to coach as well as@how to row. an un-. usual combination in a man so young. Nearly all the leading coaches in

Bur Cobb's head did not droop. nor did his spirit flag. After his fourth straight hitless game he was asked how it felt to go up time after time and go right sack to the bench again.

" THERE are many reasons to advance
 why the 1915 football season will be the most successful in the last dec ade. There is little cause to believe that the old college game. which can not be professionalized with any de- gree of success, will not come back into it's own this fall. Following are among some Of the reasons which may be cited:
 First--Harvard. Yale. Princeton and Cornell seem to be about on a par in the east. with Pennsylvania and Dart mouth having an outside chance to win the honors-
 Second.-Honors in the west rest in what looks to be a bitterly fought con test between Illinois and Minnesota with Wisconsin, Northwestern and Chi cago having a possible chance to win Third--Nebraska> Iowa and Kansas should fight 1t out for the Missouri val ley conference title with Missouri not to be overlooked-
 Fourth.-Notre Dame.. Nebraska and the Michigan Aggfes. claimants with Illinois for the western title last sea- son.. will be represented by strong teams.
 Fifth--Aficffgan. which meets Cor nell. Pennsylvania and Syracuse in the

 Haughton Among Leaders.
 In this connection the ability of Coach Percy Haughton must be taken into consideration. He is one of the most resourceful mentors who eyer handled a crimson eleven, and with the material, at his disposal Harvard will always bear watching.
 Following it's defeat by Harvard last year. 36 to o. Yale will make a hercu- lean effort to retrieve it's lost laurels. Old Eli will be represented by enough old players to form 8 strong nucleus. and the manner in which the team ran over and around Maine to the tune of 37 to stamps Hinkey's eleven as one of possibilities.
 Princeton. despite it's 13 to score against Georgetown in it's first contest, is promising. Coach Rush Is one of those mentors who believe in the. slow development of football teams. and it is with this idea in mind that he is teaching his team just enough football to win each struggle.
 Cornell Also Stronger.
 Cornell will be stronger than usual. Following it's 24 to 12 victory over

Penn last year. Coach Sharpe's eleven has taken on a new lease of life and must bear watching during the season. Pennsylvania also will be stronger than it's game with West Virginia showed The Quakers won that contest by a single touchdown, but are stronger than the score indicates.
 In the west Illinois will have to extend itself to retain the championship hon. ors won last year. Although the ranks of Coach Zupke's team will not be ma terially weakened by the loss of veter- ans. the fact that Minnesota will be

represented by practically a veteran eleven is a factor which must not be overlooked.
 While considering the chances of these elevens, Wisconsin must be con- sidered. A number of star Badger play CTS are under the faculty ban, but if they remove their conditions Coach Ju- neau will place a team in the field which will be a worthy opponent for any conference aggregation. North western will be stronger than usual. while Chicago must be given an outside chance.

LOW BALL PITCHING HARD re
 HIT.

TTNY COBB says: "The most effective
 pitching in the game is the kind that carries control of a low ball. A pitcher with only ordinary stuff who has low ball control is almost sure to be effective. This is the chief feature of Alexander's success He can put that fast one around the knees. over the inside or outside corner better than any man in the game, and with the stuff he has it is almost impossible to hit him safely. A spitballer who can break his curve well below the waist is next to unhittable-"
