Partly, pre- sumably, this is human fallibility, but in many cases it is equally much those mat tees, which are so essential there, but so unpleasant. Especially on a course of such Lilliputian dimensions, where two- thirds of the tee shots are played with an iron of some description, is the mat to an affliction to the natural divot taker. If he forgets he is not playing off soil, a nasty jar immediately after contact with the ball soon reminds him of the fact. On the other hand, till one gets used to it, clean hitting with an iron off those hard smooth aur faces, is rather an uncomfortable and often an erratic performance. The ball seems to go off the club face far too quickly for one to be able to get any grip on it, and there is little or none of the re- gulation spin on it. Sometimes the #result is all right, sometimes the ball, like the arrow, is merely shot into the air. The quotation is not always completed,

SIR.-On Saturday, I managed to delay an important engagement for an hour and took in a few innings of baseball at Happy Valley.

It was an official junior league game between South China and St. Joseph's, and it was a game that deserves special mention in the loen press. Just because it was a junior league game, nobody seems to be interested. Not even a ro porter was around.

I've learned baseball ever since I was knee-high, and have seen the the major leagues perform in States. Now, what I want to tell the local sporting public is that those youngsters who are playing in the junior longue deserve some real encouragement.

-

That game between South China and St. Joseph's was a real inter- esting game despite the difference in the score. Yes, I must say that it was not a pitching duel but it was air-tight hekling. A pitching battle cannot always prove, to be an For instance, interesting gama when the Dragons downed the H.K.B.B. Club by 3 to 0, it was an air-tight pitching encounter be tween Messrs. Lee and Ruffin. Then the press came out flatly with the statement that the whole game was not enterprising. Well, in such a case, the reporters simply failed to appreciate good pitching."

All right, let as grant that the aporting public does not care for good pitching. Then it ought to have interest in good fielding.

In the South China-St. Joseph's game, the opposing pitchers were not spardy enough to battle the batters, therefore there was plenty of good fielding done on both sides. It was a real treat to see, those youngsters getting them in profes The center-fielden sional manner.

Mat tees do not present quite the same difficulties at the few holes which call for wood, but at one of these at least there is compensat ing trouble, which presumably might easily be removed. This is at the fourth tee, where one's back swing frequently swishes through stray bits of undergrowth, while a low atruck shot has to tear its way through a fringe of long grass. It might legitimately be argued that a shot should be hit high enough to clear the grass, though even with this hindrance the low ones go a The South China pitcher was long way, but at least the back of meady but he lacked the speed. It the tee should be kept as clear of was certainly encouraging to sce trouble as possible.

There are at present a number of really fine wooden clubs by C. A. Whitcombe at Lane, Crawford's. They feel as though they would be a pure joy on a course, but un- fortunately they are all steel shaft ed, which puts them out of the running here for anyone who likes to play a competition now and then. Plenty of the other clubs in stock there are worth looking at, and among them a new type of aluminium putter which is more likely than many to cure someone's on the green. There is always pleasure to be got from look ing rough stacks of new clubs by different makers, whether one is really in urgent need of a club or not. In fact there are times, especially on some of the hotter days, when it is more amusing to play one's round with a few hun- dred clubs in the shop, rather than with a mere bag full on the course.
