Sschmidt of the Central High school spiked-shoe performers, Jas.t night turned his optics on the track candidates for some promls 1 n g representa tives In the field events, where the Hllltoppers seem to be weakest. The Purple men tor Is being: as sisted by “Wfll" Adamson, former Drake university trackster, who is giving special In struction to the | discus prospects. j Central seems to he well stalked j with sprin t e r s, and In all track work, and after a few workouts with the field events the Purple should have a well balanced , crew ready to compete for tetate ; honors at I.lncoln. Schmidt will give his proteges a chance to run against i time as soon as possible, and start competing for the statb pentathlon Yibbnna on home grounds. Galloway, Howell, Hartman and •Reiff have been heaving the shot a ' tfcir distance In practicing for form, while Marrow and Galloway are best | in handling the dlscuB. Captain Pope, who won his letter in the high jump, : will likely do the aerial work for the Purple, while Hughes, Amos and Marrow all do well over the bamboo ; at five feet. Torrison, also a letter traekster, 1 stands out In this event. Broad , Jumpers are numerous at the Hilltop j .school and when distances are meas ured within the next few days, some good accounts are to be expected. Central trackmen will work out Sat urday afternoon, according to Coach Schmidt, to prepare for the Inter- | class meet April !7. , Golf Team Sails in May. New York, April 11.—Three and | probably four American professional golf stars will sail from New York on May 3 to compete In the British open championship, to be held at Troon, Scotland, June 11 to 15. This was revealed today when Gene Sarazen, American open champion, an nounced he would leave on that date', accompanied by Walter Hagen, pres ent holder of the British open title, and Charles Hoffner of Philadelphia. At the same time It was reported that Jim Barnes, Pelham Manor ’‘pro,” and former national ripen champion, also would Join the Invaders, but Barnes declared he had not yet reached a definite decision. The fact that Hagen and Sarazen Would seek new laurels abroad has been known for some time, . hut the addition of Hoffner and probx ably Barnes to tbe Invaders was un expected. Boxer Killed.

New York, April 11.—A little more dabbing and brushing on of paint, some sweeping and gathering up of the leavings of stupendous loads of steel, concrete and wood ,and the Yankee stadium, great edifice of base ball, will be ready for the opening of the season on April 18. a bad club and because neither of the new owners was familiar with the workings of baseball, have turned out to be very smart gentlemen. Their new park, their great col lection of stars that make up the Yankees today, two times champion of the American league, represent a valuation of $3,000,000. Furthermore, the club considerably outdrew the Giants, world champions, last season, for it, they have a park of 70,000 capacity. When they bought the club, crowds of 3,000 to 4,000 were considered "big days” by the Yankees. And that was only eight years ago. In keeping with his "square shoot ing” policies, Frank Chance, manager of the Boston Ue<J Hox, has let the sorely tried Hub fans know that the — YA-KKEE. fTADIUM — In six months, a great engineering and building job has been done, giv ing the Yankees their first real home in eight years. Since Colonels Ruppert and Hus ton bought a hodge-podge of ball players and the franchise from Frank Farrell for around *400,000, back in 1915, the Yanks had been using the Polo grounds, home of the Giants. They were ordered out last fall. The two colonels, laughed %t as "easy marks” when they bought out Farrell, because the Yanks were such and is the biggest money maker in the game. Business acumen, of which the pur chase of "Babe" Ruth for J150.000 from the Red Sox in 1920, is an out standing example, is the reason for the colonels' success, of course, but it is not to be overlooked that they gambled In real sporting fashion. For that matter, they are gambling now, looking to baseball to reach new heights in popularity, and to be ready team will finish in last place, unless "radical changes are made at once.” The indication is contained on his re port of conditions to Harry Frazee, > owner, and the newspapers. Frazee told him to let go any play ers not good enough to wear Red Sox uniforms, but didn't say anything, so far as known, about new bolstering material of worth. It is pretty late : now. with tlie season only 11 days away, and the outlook is as dreary as : when big fogs come riov^n to Boston from the Nova Scotia banks. Half-Volley in Tennis Requires More Perfect Timing Than Any Other Stroke \ By VINCENT RICHARDS, National Indoor Single* Champion. I'nhpiwl Service Staff < orrcipondcnt. We hear much nowadays In the ten nis world about the half-volley. Many tennis critics are of the opinion that the future generation of tennis stars will depend a great deal on this valu able stroke. The half-volley might he termed the climax of tennis skill. In the terms of the average tennis fan. the half-volley Is nothing mora than an ordinary pickup. The half volley requires more per feet timing,' eyesight and racquet than any other stroke In the tennis game. The hall simply meets the ground and the face of the racquet at almost the same time, the hall bouncing off the ground onto the strings. The shot Is made with a stiff w rist short swing, very much on the order of a volley, only one does not use the fol low-through. Mostly Defensive Shot. The young tennis player who is Just learning the half-volley should remem- ! ber that this stroke Is essentially a de fensive shot. It should only be used as a last resort, when you are caught out of position by your opponent's shot. I could offer no better advice to the ambitious young player than to tell him never to half volley unless he Is trying to extricate himself from a dangerous positlop without retreat ing. To my way of thinking, the young player should never deliberate ly half-volley. Hut notwithstanding the shore statement there are certain players who are able to turn the half-volley Into a point-winner. Perhaps the greatest half-vollyer that the gama of lawn tennis has ever had, has been Richard Norris Williams. The popular Pick has achieved remarkable results with this stroke. He turns a defensive Into an aggressive attack with the re sult that he Is known as the wonder man with this shot. Advice to Beginner*. But liow many of us do rare to do the things that Williams does with the half volley? We have not the ten- ; nls genius that this former national ! champion and Davis cup star has and I we have not the same amount of dar ing either. In the first place the half-volley is the most risky shot in the tennis player's armor. The margin of safety, when executing. this stroke, is very small and its , chances of mishaps Is really number- j less. Therefore. I should advise the Junior starting out on his tennis career not to pay too mui h attention to the ex ecution of this difficult stroke. Play the ordinary orthodox tennis game at first and let men like Williams, Til den and Johnston use these genius strokes. They will come to you In time anyway, if you are playing the Kama seriously. Det into the position where you will not be forced to use the half- | volley. It simply means that you will j have to get closer to the net. In | ibis way you will eliminate the use of this difficult stroke and lessen the chances of your making errors.

Yesterday the officials of the Cin cinnati club held a meeting. Roush was present and Informed the moguls that he wanted a three-year contract and $16,000 a year to appear In a Red uniform. Did the Red officials consent to give Roush his demands? They did not. They told Roush he could have a one-year contract and 15 grand a year. Eddie refused to sign and he remains a holdout. If Roush doesn't come to terms, and It looks as if he won't, George Harper, former Oklahoma City play er, may get a chance to fill Roush's shoes. Harper got in the game with the Reds a little last year and show ed up pretty good, enough to show the Cincinnati club that he was keep- ' ing on the roster. • • • ROi.SH may deride to play in dependent baseball this year, says a scribe bark in Cincin nati. It's a cinch that is he does decide to jump organized ball, Koush will not make anywhere near 315,000 a year. Baseball in dependence isn’t what it is crack- i ed up to be. Remember George Hale, catcher for the Omaha club in 1920? George jumped to semi-pro ball be cause he was refused a boost in salary. Well, Hale is back in or ganized baseball and he's with the Omaha club. George will tell you that baseball Independence isn’t what's it is supposed to be. • • • JUST at the present time Jess Willard is attracting about as much attention from sportdom as any other athlete, or near athlete. Big Jess, as everyone knows, Is trying to "come back.” He says It's the glory he wants; not money. Wil lard Is saJfl to have money he re ceived from his oil leases and farm lands. Recently a report blew out of Wil lard’s training carnp that Jess had hurt his arrn so badly that he would not be able to fight Floyd Johnson In May. Ray Archer, manager, and Willard raved about It and you can’t blame ’em. There's a lot of money Involved in the coming bout and Jces and his manager will be there to col lect their end, you can bet your kelly ’ on that. • • • Regardless of the possible in jury, a man the age of Wil lard is hound to find trouble getting into »ha|>e. Jeffries was five years younger than Willard wlien he tried to stage a "con»e bark” against Jack Johnson. The story of the battle is history. Willard's followers will tell yon Floyd Johnson isn't the polished fighter by a long way iliat Jack Johnson was when he fought Jef ries. That may be so, but Will ard Isn't another Jeffries, cither, so that squares things. • • • JULIAN MEE. former Buffalo shortstop.

Omaha Branch, 70S A Ifttk I given a trial by Barney Burch and showed up fairly well In practice. He Is a good shortstop as far as as fielding Is concerned, but he's weak with the willow. Mee remained with Omaha only a short time after the season started. One day a wire came from Detroit Instructing Mee to report to Toledo In the Association. Burch waa willing to release the player because he couldn't hit. He played with Toledo last year and went fairly well. Mee’s hitting Im prove, but not enough, so he was put on the block at the end of the season. Tom Falryeather of Sioux City purchased the for mer Buffalo player. Now Mee has failed to “come through” in training. Fairweather recently completed arrangements with St. Paul for the purchase of Johnnie Rooney, former Falrbury (Neb.) State leaguer, who hit .309 last season and fielded well. Johnnie Is a shortstop. Now Mee is slated to get the "gate.” Manush to Pinch Hit. Henry ManuRh, who batted .376 and fielded .974, with Omaha In the West- | ern league last season, hopes to win gn outfield berth with the Detroit Tigers this season.
