How to Play Difficulties of the Game J. C. Kirk
One of Leading Players in This City.
In Falrmount Tark, near .Straw berr)
Mansion, are the six courts nntl club
house of tho Quaker City Itoquo Club.
To the unltlntetl theso plots of perfectly
level ground, bounded by h solid border
and having arches at regular Intervals
on their surfaces, appear to bo minia
ture tennis courts turned to another uso.
Theso courts represent, to those familiar
With the game, an outdoor spilt t con
sidered the most scientific in the world,
Cnllko most outdoor games, roquo must
be understood thoroughly in order to bo
enjoyed by tho spectator. One must, at
least, bavo u first-class playing knowl
edge of the pastime, oven If ho Is not a.
first-class player. And to acqulro a good
general knowledge of ronue, u cateful
tudy of the game Is uecoseary.
nuque was Derived from the gatno or
croquet. Years ago devotees of the lawi
"port set out to make tho game more
difficult. They began by making the
arches much narrower and tho playing
course more level, and gradually added
olher features until the game of croquet,
as playetl by these experts, was vastly
different fiom the ono commonly In
vogue They then changed the name of
the Improved game to roque, forming the
name by dropping tho first and final let
ters from the word croquet.
A border of heavy timber was tbo next
feature Introduced on tbo roquo court.
nortly after which a border of rubber
was added. Many of tho roque courts
today contain concrete borders, which ore
better than the rubber banks. The mod
ern roque court is practically a large
billiard table on tbo ground; It lias been
called ground billiards. The regulation
eomt is 30 feet wide and CO feet long. It
i made of carefully screened soil, topped
with a layer of whlto bar Kind. The
ground requires constant rolling, to make

There Is u. balk Hue, 15 Inches from the

The arches are made of tool steel, 3i

CLUB PLAYS
GREAT GAME ON PARK PLOT
'
That Is Gripping Philadclphians.
but it is usual for expeits to combat
single bunded, each man playing two
balls: black nnd white, retl nnd bluo are
the pnnings which go together. In open
ing the game tho halls ale placed on an
Imaginary lino in the centro of tho Held.
Knch pln.ver, somewhat as in billiards,
attempts to diivo bis hall ns close as
possible tu tlio balkllne nt tho upper
rnrt of the field, but without hitting an
nrch, the slake, another ball or the bor
der, for by so doing tlio shot Is dpad.
Thn hall that lies nearest tlio lino after
tin four bnlla are played is given the
flist nliot nnd the choice of colors. The
balls are then placed on tho four corners
of the court, on the points where the
balkllnea cross. A player may select nny
bull lo shoot nt, but It Is considered
best to drive for thn Innocent ball of his
opponent's, down the line, some 50-odd
feet, nnd falling to hit this he strikes tbo
diagonal strip of the border nnd rolls
over to bis next playing ball. His oppo
nent then shoots In the same manner
and bounds over to bis next player, In.
enso he falls to hit.
Tlm first player then collects the balls
and lays nut bis game to make a run olj
the arches, taking care, however, to see
that his opponent's next playing ball Is
safely stowed away behind nn arch. To
perform this feat well requires complete
control of the mallet and n delicate
touch. The expert is not satisfied with
leaving tho ball a foot or two hack of
the nich; It must be sewed up tight on
the wlie In order that the shot be made
as difficult as possible for his adversary.
Kven In these seemingly Impossible
positions the skilled player often lands
the bulls with n wpll-enlculitted bank
shot. In fact, most of the shooting done
by thn p!ner not having the balls In
roque Is performed from behind an arch.
Ilefore trying to make nn arch In roquo
the expert sees that ho has placed nt
the arches ahead of him every ball he
can conveniently spare. A player docs
not attempt to make a point nnd then
stop. He plans, as docs the billiard
player, to make a long run, stopping
only when he thinks tlio chance of losing
the balls Is loo gieat.
It often happens that the expert player
stalling at the first uroli makes n com
plete run of the ground without missing
a point.
,1. C. Kirk, one of Philadelphia's best
roquo playeis, last year made a record of
1 complete runs. Itepresentlng the
Quaker City Club at the national tourna
ment, held In Norwich, Conn., Mr. Kirk
finished In a tle for second place with
10 wins and 3 losses. In three of his games
Mr. Kirk completely shut out his op
ponents. Mr. Kirk was president of the
National Iloque Association In 1912.
The Quaker City Club has enrolled as
members many first-class roque players.

RIXEY TO HURL TODAY
IN PHIL BATTLE WITH
GIANTS; MORAN HAPPY
New York Groggy Over
Three Successive Defeats.
Alexander Reserved for
Opening Game Against
Boston Braves.
NEW YORK. April 21 -Like Unul, nil
New York Is divided Into thrco parts to-
,day. One-tlilrd of these Is attempting to
fathom bow tbo Phillies did It; another
third Is heaping abuso on McOraw's head
And the final section Is preparing to go to
'(he Polo grounds this afternoon mid du
aomo regular rooting to help tho Giants
nail the ultimae contest of tho series.
That Moran should come to tho me
tropolis and mako the beloved Giants
appear to such wretched advantage is
something beyond the ken of Gotham.
They don't got It, but they udmlt that
the Phillies are a far stronger organiza
tion this year that) they woio last and
that the chances for them to make a
great run for the rag In Tener'a league
aro growing brighter daily.
Patrick Moran, the power behind tho
base-hit punch, was undecided this
morning whom he would offer in tho
target trench. Probably Hauiugartner or
Itlxey, the left-handed duo may ho culled
on. At any rate, it Is certain that Mo
ral! Is saving Alexander for the opening
game In Philadelphia tomoirovv against
the beaten Braves. Rube Mnrquard Is the
best guess for New York's hurler, al
though McGraw Is holding his intentions
to himself these bright Apill days.
It Is generally conceded among the
non-partleans of baseball that the Phil
lies have a great hitting suad. But the
manner In which the visitors have shown
up In fielding and pitching Is the big
surprise. Yesterday they continued their
hammering In the crises, beating the
Giants for the third successive time.
The score was five to two.

The cost of the now station Is esti

hissing tbo 1 glilsts. Tho fighters, It ir
said, had been paid In advance.

bnd been in tlctlon Willi Milter tor A
couple nf minutes.
Milter lushed me around the ring ns if
t was the cheapest novice In tha busl
tiesi. and, to make matters Worse, I
played right Into his bands by slugging
away with him, hoping In win with a
knockout In oulek slvle nnd thus save
mvself from getting too tired.
Well, t knocked him down 11 cotiplo of
limes, but couldn't bit him squnrely on
the Jnw He simply wouldn't stny down,
nnd In the thlid round I was so tired I
could scntcely get out of my chair.
That light was n eompleto revelation lo
hie nnd taught mo then and lliero the
value of condition ut nit limes, whether
the tight bo of one, four, 10, SO or 46
rounds.
They railed the light a draw nt the end
of the fourth round, nnd I can truthfully
pny right now that t never was so glad
lo bear anything In the world ns the
sound nf thnt flu.it gong
It was with dirflcultv Hint I dragged
tnyttelf 10 the torner nt the finish, nntl
all 1 rould gasp out to Tom Jones In my
comer was something about "never

It was Miller thnt night Instead of A little
better man. Hnd I been pitted with somf
ae"iir.ite heavy hitter there's no telling
what might have happened to mc.
Hn'i Imlle.v. the big Herman heavy
weight Jlmmv I Mine bu". gave me n des
perate argument, too, although I wns In
shape for 111 111 Prom the fourth lo tho
ninth intind he kept routing at me In
Hie most viiinus fashion, nnd, though t
kept knocking htm to the floor, I could
not si 01 1. a home rut. until near the end.
risib'.v would have been 11 wondorful
man hut for the fact thnt bin feet nnd
ankles were ho peculiarly built that ha
could get no spring or netlon for foot
work He ncted all the time as If nailed
to the flooi. It was a fatal defect.
