holes are the right size and be particu-

ball if the hand is cramped. Do not use
a ball with sharp edge holes.
Posftion.-Stand erect ION the ap-

the ball rest on the left hand. Take a

THE progress OF American sports in
far eastern countries and South
America is well shown by the growth
of basketball. Reports in this season
official guidebook show that in South
America Hawaii, China, Porto Rico
and the Philippines the winter sport is
becoming as popular as baseball
B. e. Wiggins supervisor of athletics
and Fairgrounds, writes this about the
sport in the Porto Rico public schools:
"Prior to the winter of 1918 Basketball
was practically unknown here. It is
true that there had been some activity
in the girls style of game at the nor
NAL school and at Ponde. but the game
as a sport remained Quiescent because
of the misconception that it was fit for
girls only, and because there had been
no organized efforts or capable instruc-
ton to develop it's possibilities. Gil

GUS a sport were also marked handi-

NOW that Christy Mathewson's best
days as a baseball player are over
he is beginning to take golf more seri-
ousIy. AS a golfer it is doubtful if he
will ever attain the heights he reached
as pitcher, but Matty is at all times
a dangerous player. He hits a. long
low ball off the tee but his direction is
q little uncertain. and he still fubs his
shot occasionally.
In his desire to get distance with
his wooden clubs he pulls himself up
, when rst the top of his swing with
motion that is entirely "oat Of ORDER .
but his good eye saves him from the
fate that usually follows this fault
Most players who do this either hit the
turf behind the bah or hit the ball on
the upstroke and spoil the shot. With

the women that man the great indus
trial and financial machines that turn
out production into products ready to
use or furnish the means of exchange
or provide the equipment for travel and
transportation is worthy of a careful
hearing. Such a change is now taking
place.
1t is the demand for play born in us,
bred by our parents and encouraged by
them and the state that cries out for
expression in the midst of the whirl of
business. An hour at noon or more at
evening after toll, the fellowship of
others bent upon the same pursuit and
for ADULTS the right to choose and the
responsibility to use properly make the
whole program one of delight and profit
to all concerned or affected.
We should remember also that in our
large cities it is not possible for all of
the people to be furnished with an out
door program. For this reason alone
there will always be a demand for such
centers as we now have. That brings
us to the second class of folks who are

TUNE was when # appeared that
the United states mint couldn't
turn out enough liberty heads to in
duce a baseball man to accept a posi-
ton as manager for a major league
club. Many failures by candidates and
the demand Of the fans for the head of
all first year failures made a new lead
erss lot anything but a desirable one
In the last two years, however, the
Job is looking up bit. It's almost pos
sfble to engage manager without
promising him the subtreasury.
This has been brought about by the
achievements of George StaIlings, Pat
Moran and Fielder Jones, who rescued
three logical tail end clubs and par
iayed them into title or near title teams.
How Il Happened.
Il took StalIings two years to whip
his club into s4azk. It took less than a
season and one-haf for Fielder Jones
to transform the worst club in the Fed
eral league into team that finished
only .oO086 behind the league leader
ship. Pat Moran rescued his wrecks
from the nlire in one season. the most
notable performance of all, considering
the supposed character OF the material
be inherited.
Besides these quick successes, future
managerial hopes may take heart from
the fact that several managers of brief
experience have done fairly web and
have pleased the fans.

mellow fans would have to say to the
players. Some of their sayings were
as good as the best things you'd hear
in the theater at humorous show
The chaps who got these things off did
not set themselves deliberately to the
task of being funny for the entertain
nlent of the crowd, but their remarks
rose involuntarily to their lips, and they
were often so telling that all hands, in
cludings the players, rocked with en-
joyment of the quips.
But nowadays the alleged funny
fellow in the bleachers appears to lay
himself out to be funny, and conse-
quently he is not the least bit enter
tanning. In fact, most of them are
simply nuisances and bores, and they
get on the nerves of everybody within
the sound of their voices. No man can
be deliberately and determinedly and
persistently funny for whole after
noon at ball game, and when you OBJ
serve out of the tail OF your eye that
such a chap is just exuding his noise

Basketball is a strenuous game for
the orient, where the climate is hot and
the humidity intense. Japan has not
begun to play basketball but since she

certain that the empire will have a

three at the most. whereas the average
golfer is well satisfied with a three and
often takes four strokes. Matty is no
exception to. this rule and loses more
strokes either on or just off the green
than. in any other part of his game. His
putting is only average. but this can
be Improved by his taking more care in
surveying the contour of the green and
more time in making his putt.
Matty plays regularly at Van Cort-

remarkable shots to his credit Play
