oped rapidly. Since the close OF the
major league season he has been the
most sought after catcher in the
minors. Cleveland was forced 20

Only THO Sectional
Golf Champions Repeated
During Past Year

Golfng crowns certainly rest un-
easily on the heads Of the proud
possessors.
1t is an interesting fact that, with
two exceptions. every sectional title
of any consequence in the United
states changed hands in 1922.
Chick Evans was the most prom
inent golfer to repeat a win in 1921.
Last year Evans won the western
amateur title. He came through
again by defeating George Won Elm
by . to 4.
It is rather singular that George
Won Elm by 5 and 4.
It is rather singular that George

In February at the Swarthmore in

Girard is minus quite, a few Of

Nevertheless. Bill Bernard. coach
OF the Steel and Garnet team, has
at present a fine squad OF young
sters and in their last few meets
have made good time in the dashes
and relays. The swim tutor has
been at the institution for the past
seven years and has turned out
some crack teams. His relay teams
especially are always the best among
the school teams in Philadelphia.
Girsrd's last meeting was against
the strong West Phllly High team
and the Steel and Garnet lads took
them into camp by the count OF 81
10 20. The only first place that
the West Philly team scored was
in the plunge for distance which
Hassel set a now pool record. Ray
Lewis IS their star point-getter. and
will give Bsrdo a hot chase for first
place honors.
Coach Sparks knows exactly what
Wilmington Is going up against and
has been sending his men through
some OF the hardest drills to get
them in readiness for the meet He
has been paying particular atten-
lion 10 the relay team. for in the
Germantown meet the local lads
were in the lead but the second and
third men could not hold out.

Freak plays always create discus
sion. Baseball abounds In such sit
uations.
To Catcher Eddie Ainsmlth goes
the credit OF pulling the freakiest
bit OF baserunning I have ever seen.
Ainsmith. who Is now catching
for the st. Louis club OF tho Ma
tional League. was a member OF
the Washington team when he put
over his bit OF baserunning extra
ordinaire.
Philadelphia was playing at
Washington. and had the home
team badly beaten. Chief Bender
was doing the pitching for the
Athletics.
when Alnsmlth singled IN the
ninth after two were out, the score
was something like Is 20 ? in favor
OF the Athletics.
on the first ball pitched Ainsmith
stole second without any opposition.
on the second hall n stole third
No one paid any attention 70 him.
The next pitch was strike. max
ing the count two balls and strike.
Then some wag In the grand
stand started all tho trouble by yell
Ing, Why don't you steal home.

Ainsmith decided TO do that very
thing As Bender started his wind
up. Ainsmith dashed for the plate.
The run meant nothing in the game.
and Bender seeing the humor OF the
situation, decided 20 let Alnsmith
get away with play.
When Ainsmith slid over the
plate In safety. Bender was stlll
winding up. Ainsmith had gotten

Plttsburgh's one best bet.
While a star catcher adds much
TO a teams strength. II Is a question
whether or not It wouldn't be wiser
for a manager 10 occasionally use
his second string catcher. no matter
how we'll his first choice IS going.
There are several reasons that
could be advanced for such a system.
In the frst place. a catcher can only
be developed by getting a chance In
actual competition. Sitting on the
bench means nothing 20 a catcher
after he gets so far in his calling.
He can only perfect his style by ex-
perlence in competitive play.
