Tom Fairweather Whipping Sioux City Club Into Condition for League Race Fate of Packer Team Now Up to Patronage Outlook Good for Real Ball Nine—Infield Should Rank High. Special Dispatch to Tho Omaha Boa. IOUX CITY, IA., April 6. — Now that Sioux City has escaped being wiped off the map by the flood waters of the Missouri river, baseball fans are making prepara tions to prevent Sioux City from being effaced from the West ern league base ball map. With the West ern league itself in possession of the Sioux City franchise and Tom Fair weather, veteran manager, directing activities, formation of a club is un der way at spring training quarters at Duncan, Okl. From all indications Sioux City is to have a real class A ball club. That Is, Sioux City will have that kind of a club if the fans want it. Baseball is an established institution. Whether or not It is to be an established in stitution in Sioux City depends upon the patronage the game receives here this year. The nucleus about which Tom Fair weather fotind It necessary to build a club was little short of laughable when measured by numbers. He found on taking the club over that he had only Frank Metz, Wray Querry and Eddie Palmer, just enough for a game of one-old-cat. But. nothing flaunted, he started in and by pur- ! chase and having suspensions lifted he is getting results. Uood-I.onking Infield. For the infield. Fairweather has a good looking bunch of players. At first will be the veteran Metz, famil ■ iarly known to fans as "Hippo.” Ed die F’alhier, a league veteran, will of ficiate at second base and Julie Moe. a graduate of the University of Illinois, who played with Toledo in the Amer ican association last year, will take care of the third sack. For shortstop Fairweather has a line on a man who will be the class of the league if he can b* landed. In the outfield. Eddie Moore comes , from Oklahoma City. Then there is 1 Joe Robinson, who played part of last aeason In Sioux City, and Bro- j kaw, a Pacific coast player, who j played sensational baseball with Sioux j City several years ago. One of the j best prospects In this department is j Outfielder Hall, who has been signed. / He played last year with the Rock ford club of the Three-I league, where in 139 games he made 167 base hits, good fo ra total of ‘.’66 bases and ail : average of .339. He is a left-hand hit ter. Backstopping work will be taken can* of by Wray Querry and a first- | clans man from a double A league. Promising Hurler*. For pitching duty. Manager Fair-. weather has lined up some promising looking material. Among the veterans are C'y Will iams. Bugs Grover and Art Rasmus sen, all of whom are well known to ; Western league fans. Among the re cruits is “Red" Crahan, a Sioux City i sandlot player, who has good pros pects. Barham, who was given a try nut with the Packers several years ago, also is being given a tryout. John Maple, a brother of Rolla Ma ple, who was considered one of the best pitchers in the Western league a few years ago, has joined the squad. He has been pitching fast semi-pro baseball at Casper, Wyo. Another promising recruit is Pitch er Gaugler. who was obtained from Detroit. He is a right-hander and one of the youngest players In the ] league, being only 20 years old. Mr. F'airweather believes that a i mediocre team In which harmony prevails will get farther than a team of stars rent by discord. In line with this belief, he sold McGinnis to the Sacramento team because the player was coming grudgingly to SlouX City. His homo is in Sacramento and he wished to play there.

And the wealth of the Indies In base ball means the pro rata valuation of . the minor league players. If you 1 wonder why big town teams pay $100,000 for recognized stars, just get out a borrowed pencil and pour some ink Into your statistics. The Giants annual spring trip to the baseball Indies costs them 350, 000. They are away two months, with the league limit of regulars and rooks chewing their heads off on ex pensive menus. • . - Pullmans, hotels, meals, trainers, scouts and coaches all cost them plenty. In addition to this are uni forms, baseballs and doctors. There is much muscular and stomach ali ment on a spring training trip and the hospital bills run high. Fifty thousands dollars is a low estimate. But if they develop one ball player on this trip, the Giants will be repaid. • The finding of Frisch more than balanced the 1920 trip. He would bring in an enormous price in the open market. If Claude Jonnard or some other young pitcher comes through, that item will wipe oft the expenses of the 1923 trip. AVe don't Include O'Connell and j Bentley in this, because they each set McGraw back the tag of a train ing excursion. This is a low estimate, because it J-Gotf Ehoia | Br 1NNI9 BROWN. Copyright.

THU l« the fourth of • oerieo of In- I •tractive trnnU article* written hr Vin cent Klchanl* exelmlvely for I'nlveraal Service.—Editor's Note. By VINCENT RKHARD8. National Tennis Doubles Champion, i L’nlvereal Service Staff Cerreepondent. I Ever since the time that the Cali fornia comet, Maurice McLoughlln, flashed across the tennis horizon, the critics have been laying stress upon the importance of volleying in the game of lawn tennis. Let us for a moment consider just what the art of volleying really is. As a matter of fact, It la nothing more ! than taking the ball In the air While one is standing in midcourt. But it is, to my way of thinking, the one de partment of the tennis game that can not be acquired by seeking the advice of a professional teacher. I attribute any ability that I may ( possess in volleying to the fact thatj when I was first starting to play the game of tennis I used to practice very often against a brick wall. Naturally, I was forced to take the ball in the air, which no doubt accounts for the fact that I have some ability in this I line. To the thousands of young players who will start tennis for the first time this spring, I could offer no bet ter advice than to suggest that they find a brick wall and practice volley ing against it. Always remember to volley with a stiff wrist and delay your stroke to the last possible fraction of a second. In this way you will keep your oppo nent guessing until th# very last mo ment. Never hurry ybur volleying and above all only go In to the net position for a volley when you have the proper opening. It is ridiculous for a young player to keep continual ly rushing In to the net. If the Juniors who are anxious to improve their volleying will watch stars play when they are executing a difficult shot in this department and then go home and practice wliat they have seen against a brick wall, I am sure they will improve their volley game. „ Meet Stars Saturday.
