the game In the use OF the sacrifice.
Chapman's ability to sacrifice has made
him invaluable in the second position
Of the Cleveland batting order.
The base.runnlng ability Of the Cleve-
lander Is the more remarkable because
OF the fact that two years ago he in
jured his knee so badly that 1t II
feared II might cnuse his retirement
from baseball. 1t did handicap him Sc
yerely last year. In fact, Wambsganss
was thought to have supplemented him

A hitting shortstop has been n rarity
since the passing Of Wagner. Fletcher
has been the only shortfelder OF the
big leagues to make any pretense at
hitting until Chapman's rise.

BETTER PLAYERS IN FUTURE
American Boys Will Learn Baseball
Game Under Competent lnstrue-
tors on the Fairgrounds.

A prominent major league manager
recently made the assertion that base
ball of the future would be immeas-
urably benefited If the playground sys-
TEN reaches the high plane of develop
ment To which 1t is destined to rise IL
good sportsmen will keep their Shout
ders 10 the wheel.
This leader OF ball players based his
statement upon the fact that as base
ball Is one of the leading diversions of
the youth who makes use OF the play
grounds, they will learn Americas IA
tiOnal game under the best possible
conditions. They will have 1t drilled
into them in most cases by the ON
petent instructors that are assigned to
playground directing, and they will
also gain their knowledge OF the game
under the proper disciplinary methods.
The real success in any line Of sport
comes from its pursuit under conpe-
tent direction and with the proper dis.
ciplIne exercised. This viewpoint Is
worthy of thought. II II holds good OF
baseball, II also follows hat the same
result will be attained In tennis, track
athletics and other sports, and that the
next generation will be fur superior TO
the present In all athletics.

PARIS TO BE BOXING CENTER
That Is Prediction Of Dick kleain, In.
ternational Pualiist Promoter
Game 10 Popular.

"When the European war Is over
and things have settled down TO some
thing like normal, Paris will be the
greatest boxing center the world has
ever known" This Is the prediction
made by Dick Klegin, international
pugilist promoter.
"They appreciate boxing TO the full
est In the great French capital. And
don't for a moment think that the
French republic will not produce some
great men, too" he added.
Carpenter Is not the only great
fighter they have had. He naturally
attracted the most attention because
he was a big fellow and had a meteoriC
career. He came up practically from
q featherweight. fighting his way
through all the classes os he took on
weight.

he said, but because he threw his glove
down, to indicate disapproval Of the
decision.
The exile is field captain Of the
Yankees, and his record Is nm excel
lent one, In view OF this position. He
also is one of the greatest shortstops
In either league. Peck" has not
missed an inning Of any game this
season until being put out by the ar
bitrator. Walter Plpp Is now the only
Yankee who can boast that he has
played every round this season.

LONG DRIVE IS SATISFYING
Golfer Is More Than Pleased When
Ball Goes 200 Yards Straight
Down the Field.

What Is the secret OF the long drive
In the game OF golf? That 1t Is not
entirely due to physical power has been
proven, but the answer proves the
most elusive Of things when one seeks
to drive II to its lair. Let one say
what he Will about the feeling OF sat

10 the green, or II long Iron sem speed

Of 20 feet that lands in the cup-when
all this is said and done, there Is no
exhilaration In golf quite comparable
with that which follows n drive well
over 200 yards sent straight down the
middle OF the field.
There Is an approach to II, m must
admit, In the e%XultatlOn that succeeds
a brassle shot OF 200 yards or more,
for there Is certain Durprise mingled
with delight at picking the ball out Of
the grass and sending 1t on its way
like n bullet, and the element OF sur
prise Is lacking In the drive where the
teed ball presents n suggestion OF GER
tainty which Is not TO be found out
on the fairway. Still the tee shot
begins the play OF the hole, the senti.

Two young married couples start

about the luggage and one of the hus-
bands and one OF the wives go ashore
to straighten matters out. The boat
then pulls away from the dock, separ-
