Coach Schmidt
Turns Attention
to Track Men
\ 1
Central Mentor Has Material
for Well-Balanced
Team.
Coach J. G. 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.

_Yankees to Play in Greatest Stadium_|
By THOMAS U CX MMISKKY.
By Universal Service.
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.

Eddie ROUSH, the Cincinnati
player who demands half the
state of Ohio before signing a
Red contract. Is about to Jump to
independent baseball.
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.

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. Manager Cobb, I
however, with himself, Heilman and ,
Veach, performing in the outfield, in
tends to use Manush as a pinch hit
ter and utility player.

1922 Home Run
Recorts to Fall?
New York. April 11.—Following th*
"Sheiks of Siam." 1. e., baseball home
run hitters, haw come to be one of the
most Interesting of the fans’ hobbles,
league home run records last season
wero shattered like eggshells under
piledrlvers. They say, In the training
camps, that 1922 records will go the
same way.
Contributors to the home run rec
ords last year in the majors and lead
ing minor leagues included four first
basemen, two keystone saekmen, one
catcher and 17 outfielders.
Rogers Hornsby, the St. Routs Car
dinals’ second baseman, led ail circuit
swatters with 42.
Kenneth Williams of the Brown*
topped the American leaguers with 39.
Three Pacific Coast league outfield
ers led their mates—Strand of Salt
I-ake with 28. C. High of Portland
with 24 and Poole of Portland with 22.
Yank Davis of Tulsa led the West
ern with 35. Lamb of the same club
poled out 32 and East of Wichita
accounted for 30.
Tigers’ Park Enlarged.
The Detroit American league club
will be in a position to entertain a
world series crowd next fall, provided,
of course, that the Tigers are returned
the victors in the 1923 race. Th*
Tiger Jungle, the only downtown I
baseball plant remaining in any major
league city, is the scene of feverish
activ^y these days to finish building
an additional deck to the grand stand.
The added space will care for 8,500
spectators, bringing the total capacity
of the stands to 27,500.
97 years of
