CAMPAIGN IN JOHNSON'S
CIRCUIT MAY BE AFFECTED
SOMEWHAT BY FEDERALS
Dope on 1916 Race, However, Not Likely to Be
Completely Upset as in National
League
WHEN" tho Federal League announced Us Intention to right tho National
and American Leagues by taking star players of both, It happened to bo
the senior league which was mado tho target because of a peculiar combina
tion of clrcumstancps that caused several stars of Toner's league to bo dis
satisfied. The signing of Joo Tinker after Charley Kbbetts had failed to
come to terms with tho former, who had been pronounced a failure oa tho
manager of tho Keds, was the first real blow struck at organized ball.
Then camo tho rumors of trades and of managerial changes which caused
Otto Knabe to become disappointed at not being mado tho lender of tho
Keds, Gerry Herrmann having selected Charley llerzog. Tho Feds had no
trouble Inducing Knabo to Jump. Tho two now leaders of tho Feds had
played In the National League for years and then know llttlo of American
League players. Naturally, they started signing National Leaguers.
National League Players Given First Choice
It has often been said that the Feds got such a large number of National
pastlmers because tho object of tho Independents was to break up tho senior
league or steal tho stnrs from tho first division teams In order to muko tho
race one-Bided. However, It was really tho selection of National Leaguers
as first managers and scouts after tho expansion which caused tho unoven t
(system of raiding.
This really proved a good thing for tho National, and was no doubt
responsible for the closeness of the pennant race In 1014 and again In 191C.
It wilt provo equally beneficial when tho stars return, as nil teams will bo
strengthened alike. While but few rent stars who nro now considered worth
fighting for were taken from tho American League, some of tho youngsters
who woro property of teams In Johnson's circuit may completely upsot tho
dope In 1916.
Locally, return of Fed players to the American Leaguo team does not
cxclto much Interest, as tho only men lost to tho Athletics through desertion
to teams of tVie Independent leaguo wero Eddie Plank, Chief Bender and Byron
Houck. Bender nnd Houclc failed to pitch up to form and wero unconditionally
released, while Manager Jtnck is not likely to mako a bid for Plank's services
regardless of tho fact that tho wonderful southpaw could bo got without much
effort or expense.
Plank May Go to St. Louis Browns
In case Flank Is not wanted iy Mack, he will bo switched to tho St.
Louis Browns, who will consolidate with tho St. Louts Feds, according to
present arrangements. If Plank should land with tho Browns, ho may play
an important port in tho pennant race. Tho usual tnilenders aro going to
benefit to such an extent by the consolidation that It probably will put them
up with tho leaders.
St. Louis had a strong team on paper, and no less than six men aro
likely to hustlo regulars of tho Browns' 1915 team, while two or thrco can
be counted upon as certain regulars. They aro Tobln, a young outfielder;
Borton, a much-Improved first baseman, and Ernie Johnson, a moro promising
looking shortstop than Johnny Lavan.
This Is not taking into consideration Eddlo Plank, Davo Davenport, Ward
Miller, Peto Vaughn, Bob Groom, drover Hartley and Chapman. Tho latter
Is nn unusually clover catcher, but It is likely ho will bo claimed by cither
Detroit or Washington. Theso teams had placed drafts with tho National
Commission at tho tlmo Chapman Jumped.
Tho consolidation of theso teams nlso will mean that Fielder Jones, who
piloted tho Whlto Sox to a world's championship victory over tho "Peerless
Cubs" of 1906, will bo made manager. This should bo tho best thing that
has occurred In years for the American League In St. Louis.
Kansas City has Nick Culiop, who probably will bo claimed by Wash
ington; Main, an Improved pitcher, who Jumped ,Detrolt; Brown, a young
catcher, who will go to Cleveland, nnd Manager Georgo Stovall, who Is said
to be In wrong with President Ban Johnson.
Hal Chase May Be on "Blacklist"
Buffalo also has four players who might bo in demand. One of them,
Pitcher Anderson, who will go to New York, Is looked upon ns a great pros
pect. The other players aro Krapp, owned by Cleveland; Ehmke, Pacific
coast sensation, who Jumped after being purchased by Washington, and Hal
Chase, who may be placed under tho unwritten "blacklist," desplto tho claim
that all players will be reinstated.
Tho Chlfeds will turn back Georgo McConnell, ono of the leading pitchers
of the leaguo; Rankin Johnson and Black, both twlrlers. McConnell will go
to New York, while Johnson nnd Black may bo traded to Cleveland. Johnson
jumped a few days after he had been traded to Cleveland along with
Coumbe for Vean Gregg.
But two Brooklyn players Jumped American League reservo clauses, whllo
none of tho Baltimore Terrapins belong to tenms of Johnson's league. The
Brookfed players aro Finis Wilson, who Jumped New Orleans after having
been purchased by Cleveland, nnd Upham, the lanky pitcher, who left the
Yankees.
Tho crop of Fed players who go to the American League, if thero Is room,
Is Inferior to thoso received by tho National League, but they may play an
Important part In the pennant race if any of tho younger element develop
suddenly.
Pitt Believes Evening Ledger Helped It Get Penn Game
One of the most Influential athletic officials at the University of Pitta
burgh declares that the Evening Ledoeh did moro to influence tho University
of Pennsylvania to schedule tho Penn-Pltt football game next fall at Pitts
burgh than all arguments the western Pennsylvanlans could advance to the
local authorities.
The scheduling of this football game In Pittsburgh will prove the greatest
financial stroke a football committee at Pennsylvania has ever made. In
tho days when Penn played Harvard, tho stands at Cambridge and Franklin
Field could not accommodate so large a crowd as can bo taken care
Of at Forbes Field, and It Is safe to predict that the Penn-Pltt game next fall
Will draw close to 40,000 spectators.
Harry F. Sinclair has become Infatuated with baseball to such an extent
that he Is not satisfied with buying major league franchises, but has agreed
to buy the Tulsa franchise of the Western Association. Sinclair will finance
tho club until the present owners are able to ralso money enough to take
tho franchise oft his hands.
Sinclair's home is in Tulsa, and the man who has played such an im
portant part In the baseball war between the Feds and organized ball wants
to ba sure there will be a ball team at home when ho taken his usual mid
summer trip to the oil fields to look after his business Interests, If Sinclair
continues on the same lines he Is duo to be the most popular magnate in
tho game, as he apparently cores little for personal gain in his baseball deal
ings, which la a rare trait In the present day.
That Pittsburgh is advancing as rapidly In other departments of athletics
as well as at football was proven by tho sensational victory of Dave Flint's
team over the Yale five, intercollegiate basketball champions of 1914-15. Yale
had a veteran team and expected little trouble with Pitt.
The Vlncome-McClure football game, which will be played on Strawbrldge
Clothier's field on New Year's Pay, has the football enthusiasts of South
west and West Philadelphia excited. The Vlncome team, which has been
practicing on a lot and beneath the electric lights at 64th and Locust streets,
has secured the P. R. R. gymnasium for its signal practice. It Is said that
both teams are trying to corral college stars for this game.
AI Sharpe was bitterly disappointed at the defeat of the Cornell five at
tha hands of Princeton, as the Ithacans had every regular from the powerful
1914-15 team on tho floor. Next aea&on Sharpe loses every first string basket
ball roan, and had hoped for an Intercollegiate championship with the veteran
material available this fall.
The Michigan Aggiea next season will have a difficult proposition In front
of them In selecting a coach who can fill tho shoes of John F, Macklln. While
JIacklln has not handed in his resignation officially, he has given the faculty
to understand that he will not accept the position again. Macklln la a former
football player of the University of Pennsylvania.

VOLLEY IN LAWN TENNIS
PUBELY OFFENSIVE STROKE
Main Points to Be Considered in Developing
This Phase of Game Explained
by Til den
By WILLIAM
IN taking up the next two Btrokcs,
namely, tho volley and ovorhcad, tho
first thing to get clearly In mind is that
these shots nro purely offensive, or at
tacking shots, nnd never, under any
circumstances, de
fensive shots.
When considering
tennis from the tech
nical standpoint, tho
gamo resolves itself
Into ono of pure at
tack and defense,
and tho volley and
overhead, or the "net
game," as It Is term
ed. Is to tennis what
the German 42-centI-.meter
guns are to
W T. TII.DKX, -J ."-" ,nv.".n.
All volley shots should bo mado with
the idea of winning tho point, not merely
returning the ball, becauso a mere short
return opens both side lines to your op
ponent for his passing shot.
Thero nro certain things about making a
volley that must bo understood at once.
First, hold tho racquet tight and. volley
with still wrist. Moro volleys are 'missed
becauso of tho racquet slipping In tho
hand than for any other reason except
taking tho eye off tho ball.
The volley Is made up of a very differ
ent combination from the strokes. It has
very little swing nnd no "top." Ono rea
son Molla BJurstedt cannot volley is be
causo her whole game Is made up of free
swings with plenty of top. Tho result
Is she cannot volley and In comparison
with her last court gamo, her volley
game Is absolutely second rate.
The volley should be made with very
nearly a flat racquet faco, stiff wrist and
very short swing. Let the other man's
shot "put the speed In your volley while
you iittend entirely to depth and direc
tion. Do not chop down on your volley
shot but bring your bat Into the ball.
In other words, do not mako the angle
between the illght of the ball and the
(light of the racquet nearly a right angle,
try to make It nearly a straight line. An
excellent example of this stylo volley Is
Craig Blddle, of Philadelphia.
The only volley to chop successfully is
tho forehand cross court volley from
near the rlghthand side line. This can

T. TILDEN, 2d
bo chopped for a very acuta anglo pro
vided the footwork Is correct.
The question of footwork in volleying
should bo considered more ns regards
placement of tho weight than actual po
sition of tho feet, since often you have
not tlmo to chnngo your feet. You can
always shift your weight on to tho cor
rect foot.
If thero Is time, for tho forehand volley
the left foot should bo In front of tho
right, with tho weight on tho right foot;
whllo for tho backhand volley the foot
work Is levcrscd and the right foot Is In
front of the left, whllo tho weight Is on
tho left foot. In both cases tho weight
shifts very llttlo In making the shot.
Technique of Shot
Where thero Is not time to change, re
member the rule. Tho weight should bo
on tho shot, not away from It. In-Other
words, for the forehand volley It should
bo on tho right foot nnd for tho back
hand volley on tho left foot. Thus thero
Is no tendency to pull nwny from the
ball, but the body remains In position to
play tho shot either way.
Thero are several Btyles of volleys:
1. Tho deep, fast volley. This Is
usually made straight and should be used
ns tho foundation of tho volley game.
Play this volley when the other man Is
watching for tho short shot and Is Inside
tho baso line, as It will catch him at his
feet. Volley deep whenever you seo a
chance of getting the other man at his
feet, for even if he makes his return it
forces him out of position nnd upsets his
stylo of play. The deep volley should bo
a fast shot.
2. Tho "stop" volley. This Bhot Is the
most effective form of breaking up a
back court game. It is practically the
only safe way to play men llko Wallace
Johnson, Armstrong, Pearson, Swayne
and other exponents of the steady back
court game. This shot should be made
with very little pace and placed at a
most acuto angle. The sharper the angle
acquired In stop volleying tho better tho
shot Is, for even if covered it opens the
court to tho next shot.
Bo careful In making this shot not to
volley soft to mid-court, slnco that only
lays you open to your opponent's passing
shot. It will be seen as a general rule
then, that It Is safest to volley deep and
straight and last, to "stop" volley play
soft and short and cross.
The question of position nnd the volley
Is most Important and should be con
sidered carefully by all who Intend to
develop this game. Faulty position will
ruin the best volley game ever developed.
As a general rule play from 8 to 12 feet
from the net, or In other words Just close
enough to the net that you can volley
on the full and are not forced to play a
"trap" or "pickup" shot.
Court Position
Now comes the Important question of
which part of the court parallel to the
net to play, Tho answer depends entirely
on your own Bhot that you have followed
In.
Ttemember that as a rule the last return
is the straight return while the pross
court must be Blower to hold In court.
In following in on service to either
court do not come into the middle of the
court, but come in about eight feet from
the side line or less, and cover the
straight shot. Especially Is this true of
the wide breaking service to the left
(second) court. An example of covering
this service is the way It. N, Williams,
2d. comes In on his. He comes to a,bout
three feet of the side line and six feet
from the net.
Thus to sum up the volley:
First. It Is purely attack, an offensive
shot.
Second. Hold the racquet tight at all
times and volley with stiff wrist.
Third. It Is Httle swing and no "top."
Fourth. Do not chop your volley.
Fifth. Footwork.wben there Is not time
to change feet have weight on the foot
nearest the ball.
Sixth. Deep yolley should be fast and
straight.
Seventh. "Stop" volley should be soft
and short and crosscourt,
Eighth. Position: About 8 to 13 from
net and cover the straight shot. About
one-third of court for straight and two
thirds for crosscourt.
Ninth. Following In service, use the.
rule above.
My next artltU will be on the Overhead.
