trimmed t h e
Wichita Witch
es, r> to 2 in tiie
tinal game of
I he series yesterday at the Fifteenth
and Vinton street lot and. by turning
this trick, added his third straight
victory to ids list. Roy pitched swell
hail throughout the nine frames the
Witches tried to pull the game out of
the fire. But try as hard as they
might, the visitors were unable to
start anything that looked like a
rally until the ninth innilig, and then
specie tightened up tighter than a
drum.
Thb winning “rlrucker" of yester
day's game is a. former Norfolk Ne
braska State league pitcher. He lias
plenty speed and
plenty stuff on
the pellet. He
didn't mix 'em
enough yesterday,
hut the way he
had the Witches
going he didn't
need to shake up
his pitching
w ares. Speecf
turned the visi
tors hack to their
(logout without a
single score until
the eighth in
ning. Of course,
the Buffalo hurl
er was givf n the
best of support,
both in the field
and at the plate,
which helped con
>iderable. Not an
error, or anything that looked like j
a bobble, was uncorked by any mem-1
her of the herd. That’s more good j
news for the sisters and brothers.
Kd Hovlik started for Wichita and
H might be .said that Kd plowed along
right well until the Buffaloes got j
their batting eyes focused in the right
direction. The herd focused their
glimmers in the seventh Inning and
then Paul Muster tried his hand at
pitching In the eighth, but the Buf
faloes nicked him just the same. Hov
lik is credited as the losing pitcher
and all M newer got was a little warm
ing up, so that latter shouldn't loose
any sleep over the deal.
The Buffaloes nicked Hovlik for
seven hits, among them being home
runs by "Tony” Defate, the ttrst of
the season here, and another by
"Pug ’ Criflin. McDonald also got a
double off Hovlik and another two
"bagger off Musser. Hovlik held the
herd to one hit until the sixth, when
Defate slammed out his four-base
blow. Then Hovlik was nicked right
-mart until he was jerked out of the
box.
As for Speeee, the former State
leaguer was touched for eight hits,
one of which was a double. These
,-ight bingles were scattered and
didn't do any damage until the eighth
and ninth rounds, although Wichita
succeeded in getting a man on third
in the second, only to have him left
ort the bag.
The Buffaloes scored one In the
fourth, when Defate walked. McDon
oid's double to deep center scored
' Tony.” Then again in the sixth the
herd got busy and pushed up a
marker. This time Defate got the
honors: lie crashed the pellet on the
beezor for the first homer of the sea
son here. It was a pretty hit, this
blow of Defate's.
Omaha went Into the seventh In
ning with a two-run lend, but in
creased Its lead to four when "Pug”
Griffin came through with a home tun
over left ft aid fence. The drive was
i high one over the high left hoards.
The ball landed on top of the fence, j
paused a second and then rolled out- j
side the park, giving "Pup" a home
run. Tliut blow of (Iritlins made the
score 3 to 0. Konetchy singled after I
' Pug” got through walking around j
the diamond, arid then a sacrifice put j
the herd's boss on second. Hpeece |
up and cracked a one bagger to short
for a single, “Koney” going to third. >
Peck made a bad throw to first nnd
Konetchy took advantage of the,
Wichita player's error to score thej
fourth Omaha run. 1
Wichita scored one run In the ;
eighth on three singles, and the Buf
faloes boosted their total to five? runs j
in their half of the eighth, when Me-j
Donald cracked out his second double
and scored on two sacrlflees. The
visitors cranked up a rally in the |
ninth that resulted in one run.
JHakesley got a double and scored a
minute later on McDowell's single.
That all happened after one man was
down. Tho next two Witches skied
nut and Omaha won another game.
The Oklahoma City Indiana come

Backhand Big
Asset in Tennis
«
By VINCENT RICHARDS.
N.tlftnal Indoor Muilr. Champion.
Ini.rreul Srr.lro Staff Correspondent.
New York. April 27—Many of the
' Greatest tennis matches In the history
of the game have been won or lost
| on the strength or weakness of a
j backhand drive. Ever since the time
that the famous California comet,
Maurice E. McLoughlin, first came
east the backhand drive has come in
for much discussion. •
The fact that a man could win the
national singles championship of
I America with only a service and a
v olley game astonished the critics.
| Put let us not lose the sight that
"Red Mac" was a pioneer in the
lawn tennis game at that time. Until
he flashed across the tennis horizon
the critics had never seen an Ameri
can twist service or a volley game
' such as he used.
Johnston Stopped "Comet.'
When McLoughlin was at the
height of his tennis career, (tie talk
of two continents and the marvel of
tlie tennis world in general, he was
defeated by two men wiio played his
weak backhand continually. Both
Williams and Johnston defeated the
fimous “Comet' by simply pounding
his backhand. Unfortunately for the
popular McLoughlin, he did not even
possess a defensive backhand shot.
This meant almost a sura point for
an opponent who was able to place
the ball on his left side.
One of the worst faults that many
of the present day juniors have is
running around a backhand stroke
to take it on the forehand. This not
only leaves your whole court open to
your adversary, but it also tends to
weaken your backhand. Never run .
around a backhand stroke. Take it
as you take your forehand drive. Al
ways remember that a defensive back
hand is much better than none at all.
"Little Bill'' Johnston had been using
a defensive backhand for many years
and we all know how successful the
coast wizard has been with it. «
I e arn n Backhand.
A junior destitute of a good back
hand drive can never hope to attain
any lofty heights in the tennis game.
There 1s no room for him up in the
first 10 unless he can use a forcing
backhand drive. Therefore. I could
offer the thousands of junior players
throughout the United States no bet
ter advice than to tell them to watch
some of the national tltleholders when
they are making their backhands and
to try and copy their style while they
are executing this stroke. If they
watch the position of the feet and
just where the weight of the body is
when this shot is executed by the
| champion th*i» is no reason why they
1 will not be able to execute the same
i stroke themselves later on.
Remember that Rome was pot built
I in a day. A good backhand drive
| takes years to acquire and it is some
i times lost in a single season's play,
j 1’iactlce Is the keynote of a good baek
: hand drive. Learn how to make the
| shot and then keep practicing it con
! tinually.

JOHNSON HAS
NOTHING ON GINK
Hero of RnuglitoHn'a Record Shows
Two Fights in One runrh.
Copyright. 19:'!.
Owing to laughing vetoes award
ed by the New York and New Jersey
Board of Boxing Suspensions, young
Floyd Johnson will have to f.ght
twice in. three weeks.
First he will gu after the niara-^
thon slapping record with Fred
Fulton. Then he gets hooked up
with the new dess Willard, while
the new Util Muidoon picks his
good tooth In satisfaction and the
new King Tutt slumbers on in re
freshed somnolence.
But twice in three weeks alnt
much. Jim Jeffries fought twice in
one night. Johnny livers fought
that many times an inning.
But Gink Fowler, the champ of
Roughtown, is the first man "ho
ever fought twice on one punch.
The second fight took place on an
Ironing board while six strong doc
tors were operating on him to re
move his share of a forfeited purse.
They had to operate on his fist to
remove the ingrown bonus.
Tlie operation was unsuccessful
and Oink was removed to the
Flushing hospital, where the fa- 1
mous Dr. Chalmers iwinted Gink's
conscience with iodine and marked
it light duty.
Roughtown was very mush Any
body passing through that burg
would think that everybody had
whiskers. At the first look men,
women and children looked like
they were toting white be.ird
A second squint with the opt I
rian's marbles revealed the fact
that the white beards were first
aid bandages.
/pretty touch. But it »«" ■* phi
lanthropic city. It* was the only
town where the poor rode In am
bulance* on equal terms with.Hie
rich. And also the only city where
children learned their alphabets off
tombstones.
Oink would fight with the drop
of the hat.
In fact, lie w .is so anxious to
fight that he always dropped with
the hat.
Ho you can see that Floyd hasn't
led much of a Job on his hands and
test All he has to do Is wallop
two big btonmrks In three weeks.

Home Runs Are
Easy to Get in
Chicago’s Park
II) International No»» SrnUe.
New York, April 77 —While \w aie
not exactly enamored of Ban John
son's proposed zoning system for
regulating borne runs, it has become
apparent that something of the kind
would not he amiss at a few of the
major league parks, with particular
reference to the Cub- remodeled
plant on the north side < f Chicago.
Th^re no less than 1* homo runs were
made during the fir&t four game* of
ihe playing season, and if that .n
baseball, then fried cabbage Is odor
less.
Before the .\tr.i s«aN \ve»> in
stalled the Cub park was small
enough Now. it must bo impossible
or, at bast, highly Improbable. Other*
wise, ordinary hitters would not he
making as many as two home runs i
day there.

Cniinie Mack has had the interest
of baseball at heart In erecting

and unless the club management
cares to have Jts park hecome the

example Mack had no tilterioj no*

leader now has the satisfaction *»f
putting an end to those trick homers
that cleared the low left field har
