'I, May Be Alloived to Finish Season
ALL of this may be premature, however, for, according to reports from
Washington, there Is a chance that the baseball plajers will be allowed
to finish the season before going to work at some essential employment.
At the same time, the baseball fans know what to expect In the future, and
It Is best to plan now rather than at the last minute.
It will be remembered that soccer was discontinued In England at the
beglnnjng of the war and later restored to good standing. That war-ridden
country has gone In for all kinds of sport In the last ear, even standing
for Sunday baseball. Thus the game has received a boost from across the
ocean.
When professional baseball Is stopped it does not mean that the game
Will be forgotten. Instead of paying to see others play, the fans arc likely
to get Into the game themselves. They will go out and take their own
xerclso instead of watching others take It for them. It will mean that
Bore Americans will be physically fit and the country will profit by it.

f&Jnr heen the mainstay of the Cincinnati club, and the Cubs will find that with
;i, Toney on the Ulants the .sew lorKcrs win once more oe in a position to
f make a fight for the flag.
Fred Toney was born In Atlanta, Ga., on December 11, 18S9. He began
hli professional baseball career in 1903 with the Winchester club. In the
Blue Grass League, and distinguished himself by striking out nineteen
of the twenty-one batters who faced him In a seven-inning no-hit game.
He played with that club for three years. In 1S11 he became a member
of the Chicago Cubs, and the following year was released to the Louisville
club In the American Association.
He was recalled by the Cubs in 1013, and again released to Louisville
about the middle of the season. He remilned with Louisville until 1914,
When he was drafted by the Brooklyn club, in the National League. The
Utter club released him to Cincinnati by the waiver route In 1915.
That same year he finished second to Alexander, of the Phillies, who
was the leading pitcher of the year.
While Toney has always been a consistently good pitcher, it was not
until May 2, 1917, that he entered the so-called "baseball hall of fame" by
accomplishing that great desire of all baseball pitchers a no-hlt, no-run
game.
This he accomplished against his one-time teammates, the Chicago
- Cubs, In a ten-Inning battle, which he won by a bcore of 1 to 0.
Athletics Are AW City Champions
TTVEN though Connie Mack may not make good his prediction that he
,JEJ and his ambitious group of athletes wouldn't finish last in the Amorlcan
League this season, the ball players representing the park at Twenty-first
Street and Lehigh avenue can lay claim to one title the championship of
Lehigh avenue and other districts under the supervision of Mayor Smith.
Yesterday the Slackmen and Phillies took part In a game at the latter's
grounds for the championship of this city, and th3 squad from Twenty-first
trtet triumphed over the Broad street gang by the score or l-o. The game
was played for the benefit of the family of the late William G. Weart,
formerly baseball expert for the Evening Telegraph. According to the
actual count, five thousand eight hundjed and five passed through the
turnstiles, and all paid. There were no deadheads in the throng.
It was one of those games which brought back fond memories to the
fans of the days of old, when the Mackmen used to fight It out for a
world's title Instead of merely a city championship. It was a regular game,
and not an exhibition, and the fans rooted hard all the way, kicked at the
umpire's decisions and did all the other things which prevail at a champion
ahlD game.

Clilcaeo, July 23. The American As
sociation, tthlch closed Its season Sun
day liecauso of Secretury of War Maker's
recent ruling classltiK baseball as a
nonessential occupation, will not re
sume Its playing schedule, no matter
what final decision may be made In
Washington, according to President
Thomas lllckey.
Under no circumstances will tbe Amer
ican Association resume its playing
schedule, he tald today. "We made our
decision and our season Is finished, no
matter what may happen In Washington."
By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR.
In playing Red Cross matches In
various parts of the country I meet
a creat many golfers, and I am Im
pressed with their almost universal de
sire to learn more about the fine points
of the game and those little points which
loom large aB one's game approaches 95
per cent perfect. It Is a good sign of the
popularity of golf and Its Increasing hold
on the public when players seek to learn
the Intricate part of golf.
1 billeve the question most commonly
n-sked me It about the comparatively new
riiih called the stopum. As I stated In
my previous article the stopum Is a
club which Is always present In my bag,
mvl which I regard as Invaluable. It Is
n v a ran' thing for mo to meet a first-
ola gfilfei who dees not carry this
Uieflll chili
As renrly every golfer knows, the Idea
of the stopum In to Impart backspln to a
ball on the approach shot, and In this
way control tin ball better. To accom
plish this backspln the stopum has a
c rrugalen face. To control a ball on
the approach the us of backspln Is al
most necessary today, as tho golf balls
rac tecome smaller In size and much
fni-ter than they used to bo In the old
days Before the stopum filled a long
felt want In my repertoire. I centered my
goif practice around my mashie, and by
persistent practico I learned to put back
spin on the ball with this club until I
hart succeeded In this stroke as far as the
limitations of the mashie permitted.
Getting a Back Spin
But the mashie ceased to be satisfac
tory for this work when the fast small
balls of today came into vogue. The
decrease In sUe made It a mighty hard
thing to get under the ball and meet it
properly to impart backspln. r.eallzlng
this situation and knowing the great
alue of the cut shot was Increasing In
Importance each year I turned my
thoughts to other ways of handling the
approach. My niblick attracted my at
tention and I worked with it, until my
niblick backpln was "deader" than my
mashie
Along about this time the stopum
came Into vogue and with this change in
the game my most beloved club the
mashie ceased to have the same value
to me and th stopum gTew greatly in
importance. In my play with the stop
um I finally found that it was unwise to
attempt more than 160 yards with this
club. In fact 150 yards was a bit long
for a Btopum, so I still have use for my
mashie, for over 150 yards I can gie .
enough height to my ball so that it does
not run much. There is another point
for the user of the ttopum to remember,
and that Is that It Is dangerous to try
a stopum shot for any great distance In
tho face of a wind. Under such circum
stances the mashie is the club.
I advise all players who have not
used the stopum to add that club to their
bag and practice with It until they mas
ter It. It Is an almost certain route to
a better score.
A
Questions and Answers
Question If you had forty-five min
utes a day to spend In practice what
part of the game would you center on.
AnBwer The most valuable kind of
practice Is In the short game. Practice
approaching a green, using different
clubs and strokes. Harry Vardon makes
It a point to practice approaching from
a given distance and tlftn he grad
ually reduces the distance about ten
yards at a time changing the club and
the stroke to fit the destination. He be
lieves and I agree with him, that this
is the best way In which the fine points
of approach play may be learned.

leading players of the, country. Includ
ing many who are In the Government
service. As a result of their early ef
forts, there Is. every reason to believe
that the matches will not lack the In
terest of former seasons.
The fact that Ichly.i Kumagae, the
far eastern star, who ranks fifth, has
reached this country. Is bound to at
tract the followers of tennis. He showed
In the final match for the championship
of New York State on Sunday that he
has lost none of hla old-time ability,
and should be a strong contender for the
national title.
Kumagae Is Welcomed
Commenting on Kumagae's return to
the United States. Myrlck said that "the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association Is glad that so fine a sports
man as Kumagae ha taken up his resi
dence here, tind the association welcomes
his entry In the national championships
and other tournaments played under Its
auspices."
"When Kumagae went back to Japan
In 1016 he told his friends here that he
hoped to visit the United Stntes again."
said Mr. Myrlck, "and In letters to offi
cials of the national association and
other friends he has .repeatedly ex
pressed tho same wish. Even during the
winter of 1016-1917 reports camo fre
quently that lie was about to return, and
they continued at Intervals until this
summer.
"Kumagae wa's working In Toklo, and
when his firm, Mitsubishi Goshl Kalsha,
decided that he was ready for transfer,
they sent him to the New York branch.
Fortunately this came just now, giving
an opportunity for him to compete In
some tournaments this season. His rec
ord In 1916 makes it certain that ,hls
playing this year will be watched with
keen Interest.
Plans for Doubles
Announcements of the National dou
bles championship have been sent out
by Nathaniel W. Nlles, chairman of the
tournament commmlttee of the Long
wood Cricket Club, of Boston, where tho
tournament will begin on August 12.

must be made with R'chard Bishop, sec-
I
-ctary, poatofftce box 2337, Boston, Matt.
Tho proceeds will go to the War De
partment commission on training camp
activities. Headquarters 'for playert will
he nt the Hotel Lenox and Edwin Sheaf
will act as referee.
The bova' and tunlnr tenn!n renter
Chamtltonnhlna for Bnatnn will be nlMved 1

Winners will be eligible to play for the 3
national titles. 4 '
Clinton L. Chllds, of Pittsburgh, waV'
appomtea chairman of tho committee to'
study equalization of voting power In
the United States National Lawn Tennis
Association and suggest changes ,to iltt
annual meeting. Associated with him
are L. Harry Waldner, of Chicago, who
first brought tho matter to the attention
of the national body, and Edward Sheafe,,
of Boston. Their long connection with
tennlu and their prominence In Its affairs
promise a satisfactory adjustment.
Aside from collecting Information from
those who represent tennis opinion In
the various sections of the country the
committee will not be particularly active
until the end of tho war. At the ex
ecutive committee meeting In Chicago,
where the proposal wns argued at length,,
every one agreed that It would be ex
tremely unwise to attempt any radical
revision of the constitution now.
Wa'dner'o proposal. In brief, Is to
create an executhc committee made up
of representatives of eleven sectional
organisations, most of which arc In op
eration. Additional members might be
elected by tho annual meeting, but at
each association would .be responsible
for the development of tennis In its own
section the annuaj meeting would In all,
probability soon become largely a mat
ter of form. Rather than attempt this)
Innovation while conditions nre unset
tled It was unanimously agreed that
changes had better be left for the future,
and the committee was named to have
1 information available when the time
come3 for action".
Want Sectional Doubles
Representatives of the Middle West,
Northwest and Southwest gave the East
something to thlnlc about when they
declared without reservation that elimi
nation of the sectional doubles cham
pionships had been an error of judgi
ment. This was done at the annual
meeting In 1917, despite the piottstH of
men who told the delegates that these
championships had done moro than any
ono act of the national association to
stimulate Interest In the game through
out the country.
Ward C. Burton, of Minneapolis; C,
Drummond Jones, of St. Louis, and J, B.
Adoue, Jr., of Dallas, said that the tro
phies put up by the association had
brought home to tho players In their re
spective sections tho activities of the as
sociation In the most direct manner. Fur
thermore they argued that the winner
of sectional championships would go to
play against other teams when they
would not make a similar trip to enter
an open tournament.
"It was to secure Just such Information
as this that tho executive committee
meeting was scheduled In Chicago' said
Myrlck on hearing the reports from the
delegates.
"If we had accomplished nothing else
I think this expression of opinion would
have made tho meeting well worth
while," was the statement of the secre
tary, Edwin F. ToTrey. .
