King City Defeats Oak Ridges 3-2 In Donkey Baseball Game The first round showed some fast action from both sides, "Red" *hopping around the ring like a little terrier worrying a bull, and the huge Panther lumbering around him. The Panther opened with his “Conk Bonks, then "Red" let fly with some of Gus “Billy Goat” Sonnenberg's flying tackles and laid him low for a while. “Red” can punch as well asfthe next guy and he let loose with a few round- house swings that flattened the giant negro.

Garner’s Tactics Startle Confident Black Panther Most tennis players, when hit- ting the ball, have their weight on their back foot and this bad hab- Large Crowd Attends In working on the way you step forward as your arm comes through, you should remember this important rule. Never step any other way exceptAstraight ahead with your toes pointing at the tar- get at which you are throwing the ball. If you step across your body toward the right if you are step- ping forward with your left foot, you get your front hip in the way of your throwing action and take a great deal of power away from your throw and also make it more likely that you will throw wide of the target. The correct way is to step forward as if you are going to walk toward the spot at which you are throwing. If you are step- ping forward properly, your shoul- ders and hips will be square to your target. lbu will not be side- ways to it. Make sure you check on thi part of.your throwing action as soon as possible. Remember, if you are not stepping straight for- ward when you throw, your throwing action cannot be 100% efl'ective. A Footwork Hint For Tennis DEVELOP A "BIG LEAGUE” THROWING ACTION Nine out of ten ball players can- not throw with sufficient power and accuracy because they don't use a forearm whip and they step across in front of their body as they throw. To use the forearm whip you must make sure that your elbow comes through first, with the hand well behind it. Then just as your elbow reaches a spot just in front of your shoulder, you whip your forearm forward in a hard whip-like snap. This is the difference between an average arm and a really good arm. A good way to practise this forearm whip to place two chairs about 20 or 0 feet apart. Then you and a pal sit in the chairs and practise throwing the ball at each other, just using the forearm whip ac- tion to get the ball from chair to chair. Such practice, done for '10 or 15 minutes every day for a week or two will soon teach you the fore arm whip. We have them on hand in our The Sports Clinic How’s Your Supply Of Counter Check Books?

L.- Scott, Mrs. C. Archibald and Mrs. M. Wilson. The third fall went to the Black Panther. “Red” though fast on his feet, and stuffed with wrestling lore couldn't hold out for long ag- ainst the Panther, and a second series of arni throws folloWed by a pin in which the ropes were also included laid him low. The Panther seemed disinclined to let things: go at that , but the referee finally persuaded him to stop kicking Garner and go back to the dress~ lng room. ed, however, and caught Garner in a series of arm and shoulder throws then held him for the pin. The second fall was a little on the short side, "Red" kicked the Panther in the stomach when he came near, then thumbed him in the eye and applied his “Cobra Twist" for a submission fall. The Black Panther proved a little softer than his jungle namesake and gave in readily. it causes a lot of errors and takes away most of the pep and power you should get into each stroke. Here's the right idea: as your rac- quet goes back in the ready-to-hit position and as you start your stroke, the weight should be on the back foot but as your racquet comes trough at the ball and you actually hit it, your weight should. by now. have been shifted on to your lead foot in order to get your body behind every stroke. You will find that once you are using your weight correctly all your strokes will increase in style. pow- er and general effectiveness! “Muscle Bound”? The only physical condition that can be called “muscle bound” is the condition a man acquires if he does the same type of exercise all the time. For example. a carpen- ter or postman often become mus- cle bound because they do the same thing all day, every ’day. When a person does an exercise in this way his muscles lost their ab- ility to do any other type of exer- cise with any real efficiency. So, fellows,«top worrying right now and do all the heavy muscle-build- ing exercising you want. and make sure you include plenty of speedy exercises in your schedule and you will never have to worry about be- coming “muscle bound." Another good idea is to do a few stretching exercises after each workout.

The Lake team's pitch- ing and playing have improved considerably since their last game here and the score was much clos- er.

Richmond Hill boys have im- proved greatly and although han- dicapped by the usual summer hol- iday shortage of players have made a fine showing to date and have had a good number of spectators at their games on Friday nights at the park. But there is still room for a good many more people. Incidentally the team will soon he enterlng the O.B.A. and would welcome a sponsor who could sup- ply them wlth uniforms. To date the Lions Club has kept the boys supplied with bats, balls and other playing equipment. These are much appreciated and put to good use by the team. Jas. Granger and R.
