EFFECTIVE tennis that Is, a sus

The answer Is short and concise. Any

Pitt May Drop Baseball
in Favor of Track, Sport
PITTSBURGH, May 1. A sig
nificant article in the Pitt Weekly,
the organ of the University of
Pittsburgh, today says that efforts
will bo made to do away with base
ball nt the university on account of
the lack of patronage and the dis
interestedness of the students in
the sport. It says that tho money
spent in fostering the game will be
used in developing stars for the
track team. Complaint is made
that on tho baseball team thero aro
seven men who would make good
material as track stars, but are not
available on account of the time
they must givo to baseball.
TILDEN, 2D
fense to the almost Buro attack of the
shot at your feet. Your opponent won't
beat you; you will beat yourself If you
try It.
Start this season by leaving; the Incorrect
positions on the court and staying away
from them. It will result In automatical
ly teaching you correct position,
Tho worst form of bad position found
In young players is a tendency to try
to cover up the weak point of their game,
the backhand, by running- around tha
shot and playing It forehand. The re
sult of this is easily seen. The evils are
threefold:
1. It will never build up or strengthen
tha backhand, as It tends to rob ona of
confidence and gives ona no practice on
the shot
2. It means that the player la going out
Ot court toward the backhand side line
and often cannot recover to get back in
position to cover the next shot. It gives
the opponent a big opening on either side.
3. It ruins good footwork and often
makes a player run Into the ball Vltself,
thus giving1 him no chance to stroke It
Thus we find that good footwork de
pends on correct position to a great extent

OPENING DATES

vocate a Shorter Season
for This Reason
WEATHER A HANDICAP
NEW YortK, Mny 4. Captain Til
llnRhnst Huston has taken n slnnd against
tho present early opening ot tho baseball
season. The Ynnkee owner suggests that
the bascbnlllnR begin about April 26 In
stead of around tho 12th, ns ut present,
"Hut I wouldn't advocate a dtcreaso
In tho number of gnmes played," said
Huston. "Uy opening tno Benson on the
28th It would mean cutting oft 14 playing
days. Those games could bo worked In
by having doublo headers each week, say
"Pnst erperlonco has shown that It Is
foolhardy to start tho senium beforo tho
middle of April. 1 cannot recall ono year
when the weather during enrly and middle
April nan bnscball wcnlher It cither
has rained or snowed or has been too
cold. That has meant many postpone
ments. Kven on dnyn when the teams
have been nblo to piny the nttcndnuco has
been rcdured to n bnro handful, because
tho fans d not wish to risk pneumonia."
Thero nro Boveral other magnates In tho
big leagues who shnro Huston's views.
Chnrllu Kbbcts Is ono of the newest con
verts to tho latcr-cpcning faith. And In
liygono days KbbctR wns tho (dandiest
supporter nf the early opening plnn.
Three years ngo bonic of tho moguls
lircnmo convinced nf tho folly of mid
April Inaugurals, but they wero In tho
minority. Their nssoclates voted to tako
n chance on tho wenther rather than
open tho hcnsoti later and thun cut tho
schedulo.
But lluston'n Idea of n later opening
without reducing the number of games
seems to solvo tho big problem, and It Is
possible that tho plan may bo adopted
next winter.
Ono nf the best osnmples nf tho un
wisdom of tho early openings tins been
shown In New York. Over a stretch of
six phiylng days the total attcndaiico nt
tho Yankco games was In the neighbor
hood of 30.000, despite tho fact that tho
world champion Bed Sox wero part of
tho attraction for thnt period.

GOLF GOES FORWARD NOW
BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS
"Alec" Findlay Thinks It Will Soon Lead All
Other Sports in Popularity Mayor
Smith Hates to Miss Any
"T.V TUN yenrs golf will bo the game of
1 tho hour nnd will lead In popularity
over all olhoi1 sports. There's no question
about It," added Alec Klndlny, fnmoua
gainst, by Way of driving homo tho point.
"In n fow years all dio cities of any stzo
will havo their public links, possibly two
or three. When that comes nbout there
won't bo nny red-blooded American that
will bo hardy enough to stand off tho call
to try his hand nt golf. Hut tho biggest
factor for tho future of tho g:mo Is tho
large number of boys nnd youths thnt
will pick up the game ns soon as their
dads get playing."
"Alec" hasn't nny doubt about tho de
velopment of tho gamo nnd his arguments
do take force from tho lncrcnsed number
of youngsters to be seen moseying around
In miscellaneous sections, wnvlng golf
Btlctts nnd swnttlng battered bnlls. Somo
of the corner lots, where tho well-known
game of baseball v.-ni formerly played,
havo been turned Into links by the moro
advanced members of tho younger nlley
set. It Is hard ta find people theso days
that haven't tried their lurk nt golf, und
tho only thing thnt crowds back a general
riot over tho links Is tho amount of tlmo
necossary, nnd ufttlmrs tho expense. But
American Ingenuity will probably soon
overcomo this slight hitch.
Good Mayor Thomnn B. Smith, desptto
all tho bombs laid for him to toss nsldc,
finds plenty of tlmo In tho vicissitudes
ot oillco to slip away for a quiet round
of golf. Ho Is very regular nt Lu I.u
nnd set up his ball no later than jester
day on his llttlo rubber tee, In which
Jio tnkes so much comfort.
Oeorgo Cnrruthers, new pro nt tho club,
wns moved to comment on tho Mayor's,
game the other day.
"I'm surprised," ho said. "Ho gets n
mucklo bawlln' In th" papers, yet his go'f
Is no so bad."
Fow of tho coursos are carefully combed
over, clipped nnd slicked up In mid-season
form ns yet so It Is all right to gouge
up largo wads of turf nnd not replace
tho divots. What are tho greunkoepers
for? It Is nlso perfectly nil right to
descend to tho depths of the sand traps,
flay the material righti nnd loft, being
very careful to leavo craters and mounds
for thoso to come. If the other fellow
leaved footprints, why not tho follow fol
lowing? Why not7 llemembcr the song

Tho Philadelphia Cricket Club Is setting
up n new record In the matter ot games
won, but spems to bo headed for slightly
rough going next week, when It wfll cross
sticks with Morion In tho women's play for
tho Philadelphia Cup. So far the Cricket
Club has lost only ono match out of 31
and joins In tho gratifying percentage of
1.000 with Merlon, whoso team has also
not been beaten so far.
Tho leaders of Morion should win three
of four matches' from their opponents, and
the light scheduled for next Tuesday seems
to rest with thoso nt tho "foot ,of the
olors," with the advantago In favor of the
Q iket Club. Merlon Is slightly "top
