t ARE We Downcast? No!" Tills favorite query ot tlic uoys BOinp to xno
XJLfront Is echoed In a mighty chorus by American League managers,
till ot whom seo good baseball the coming season. Mia tlicy go a step
further and, sizing up untied expression' as to prospects, the Idea li that
an aven bettor article of ball will be forthcoming than last year und a moro
Interesting raco on account of numerous shifts.
The American League has felt the effects of war conditions consid
erably moro than the National League, Every club In Han Johnson's cir
cuit has east Its quota of players Into war service. Boston leading with
fourteen, Including Jack Barry, who managed tho Tied SoM In 1S17. In
order to make good their losses tho clubs were compelled to. malic n tre
mendous drive on the little leagues for rooltlcs and to moke countless deals
among themselves for moro seasoned talent.
It Is surprising that tho American League managers, whllo describing
the outlook for the coming season, all express confidence that their team
have been actually strengthened by these exchanges of players and thn
Requisition of now ones. It Is tho coniensus ot opinion that the war will
really stimulate Interest In tho league's race, because of tlio wholciilo
swapping of players and becauso of two new managers being on the Job
Wilier Hugglns In Now Tork and Ed Barrow In Boston.
Manager Ed Barrow of tho Bed Sox Is free to declare that tho great
my fcaps caused by tho war will be moro than counterbalanceu Dy mo stars
13 secured from Connie Mack, re-enforced oy somo coming young iaicni iro.n
the tall timbers. Everything Is lovely and tho gooso hanks high. Battery
works, Infield and outfield nro In solpshapo to glvo tho "White Sox tho tlmo
of their young lives.
i
THE While Sox virtually are Intact, and Clarence nowland cannot
see-, anything but a repetition of last season's glorious conquest.
The .club has the usual outlay of lild talent to bolster possible weak
nesses. Huggins and the Rest Find Conditions Inspiring
THE signing of Derrtll Pratt causes M'llcr Muggins to utter a note of
optimism. Tho old slough of despond need not bo so considered any
longer. The infield will now bo one of tho smoothest, according to Hug.
The pitching department, with Plank likely In line, will bo O. K und the
old outfield swamp will bo made solid with Ping Bodle to give the long
reeded wallop. The team has been unhlt by the war, and everything Is
eweet. The catching department can't bo beat anywhere.
Detroit will be about the same, according to Hugh Jennings, except
that Hellman will go to the outfield, Dressen. St. Paul recruit, taking his
place at first. If no additional draftees develop. It Is figured that tho Tigers
eurely will be in the running. The Indians will have Tris Speaker, and that
In itself cheers the club owner, manager and fans. "While heven men were
lost to tho war god. Manager Fohl states that ho Is provided with plenty
of good reserve material and will be ablo to plug all gaps hatlsfactorlly.
As is more or less well known, Connie Mack proposes a comeback The
lean leader has a guess that the fans will be agreeably surprised. Connie Is
enthused over the outlook of having George Burns, a home boy, to fill
Stuffy Mclnpls's shoes; also he thinks Joe Dugan will come through ut
ishort and that his new material will provide the needful for filling out tho
battery and outfield works. Tho hurling staff will have to bo reconstructed,
but the "A" chieftain says It will be dono and that altogether a real team
Is to be provided and the, confidence of tho fans restored.
The remaining outfits Browns and Senators offer respective managers
eause for glee. There will be a large number of changes in the Brown
cast, which of Itself is optimistic; but Fielder Jones declares that whllo
details as to line-up are uncertain the talent is thero and everybody Is
satisfied, which also ought to help. '
DETROIT has Ty Cobb and Cleveland has Tris Speaker and Clark
Griffith has Walter Johnson. The Senatorial mogul decUres that
he will have plenty of live, material to 'surround. Walt -and to
replace ,the five meh lost to tho service, andlhat chances, therefore, i
are scrumptious. - t . . 'JsSSsS&Jf: ,t?
Must Play Rising Ball to Win at TeHnls '
WITH the emphasis being placed upon speed in service at "the present
time, tennis playera "yit fie. compelled to readjust the style of the re
ceiving end of the game in order to get to the net ahead of the other
fellow. Driven, far, back to the baseline If the ball Is played on the descent,
the server is enabled "to .reach the net and hold It, thus putting tho receiver
further on, the defensive, The plan suggested by a well-known tennis author
ity Is to learn to take the ball on th rise. He states:
"It the server is able to deliver tho ball with all the speed and bound
as shown by the best exponents of the serving game, then there must be
some reply to this attack by the striker- to give him a chance to succeed.
This reply will no doubt be in tho early education of the young player In
taking the ball on the rise instead of waiting for It to fall to the regular
striking position. Such players as Williams and Brookes both do this well,
and if they can do It, why not others?
"There Is no doubt that to wait back until the ball falls Is to play
no far back In tho court that there Is very little chance of passing tho
volleyer. Even hitting the ball on tho top of the bound Is hardly In near
enough, unless It can be hit as hard as 'Mac' hits It on his forehand. It
would seem that hitting a ball at all is merely a matter of habit.
"One gets the Idea of the right height to hit It where It can bo best
done, and naturally plays it there as much as possible; but If the young
player could be taken early enough and made to hit the ball always on
' tho rise, he could get the habit of hitting it there, and his whole idea of
the shot would be fourded on that thought. He would become quicker at
elilng a service up after he had been aced a lot of times, for he would
have to think more quickly.
H AND his strokes would be more decisive, bocauso he would
A. necessarily have to Jump in on overy ball and hit It quickly
and sharply or else miss it altogether."
Kaufl's War Status Stirs U. S. and Huns
BENNIE KAUFF'8 war case now is before the home-town board, having
been transferred from the Marlln medical authorities to Pom'eroy, O.,
which spot boasts of having given the great flash to the profession of
baseballlng. The nation naturally will hold a tight breath while Bonnie's
fate Is being decided. In the meanwhile some interesting facts have de
veloped. The worst Is true. One of Bennie's arms is longer than it ought to
be, or else one is shorter than a regular arm should be. This disclosure of
' national moment did not come as a surprise to Bennle, it is said, and then
It did. Bennie knew all the time that his left arm waa an Inch and a half
longer than his right, but he did not know It was two inches off. It may
be, of course, that Bennie's left has grown some since last measurement.
Anyhow, Bennle has two arms, and that ought to help some.
But the worst la yet to come. Bennle has that awful thing known as
"flat feet." The pedals may have been round at one time, but they are
flat now, and a man must have round feet to fight well. Awaiting the
outcome. Berlin joins In the anxiety, ot Washington and the inhabitants
!'of Fomeroy.
Football Like War, Says Big Bill Edwards
lO Bill Edwards, former Princeton football star and now Internal Itev-
nue Collector In New York, addressed about 2000 schoolboys on the
t nr a few days ago.
i ' "Tactically and strategically, football bears a close relation to war,"
4: Jte'tild. "That is one reason why it should be studied and applied In our

youth of, our land can learn much about warfare through football. Give
' 'th. undergraduates more athletics. It is the greit 'conditioner' of young

'teei'feet. Let's begin here by Instructing young men to train for the war

Oklahoma Promoter Rest

Many Good Offers
PLACE NOT CONSIDERED
ClilraKo, March 10.
Colonel J. t Miller. Oklahoma ranch
er, who holds Jess Wlllard's agreement
for a heavyweight championship battle.
Is resting on his oars today' waiting
for promoters to send In their hids.
Colonel Miller anticipates some brisk
bidding.
At present Jlmmle Hammlll, tf Den.
vcr, with an offer of $106,000. heads the
list, with Pomlnlck Tortorlch, of New
Orleans, and Matt Hlnkle, of CJbveland,
tied for second' place with 1105,000,
Several lesser offers havo been receled.
Hlnkle has wired that ho will comt
here for a conference.
The matter of a place for tho bout
will be considered until bids are In and
a definite offer accepted. Wlllard said
today he would prefer to stage the boui
cither In Milwaukee or St. Paul, hut
as yet neither of thefe cities has made
offers. The champion eald he would
not object to New Orleans, although
he conslderB tho weather In New Orleans
in July a little warm for fighting.
Wlllard will do his training on his
farm at Lawrence, Kan., and Is endeav
oring to get Tom Cowley and Homer
Smith to act as nis sparring partners.
CLAIMS YALE FOSTERS
MOST ATHLETIC SPORTS
A Yale enthusiast declares that that
Institution fosters more kinds of eports
than any other. He says:
"The Blue has Just organized a la
crosse team, and besMes that game has
had at various times Intercollegiate com
petition In football, baseball, yachting,
rowing, Bwlmmlne (which Is a noble
form of exercise and contest to be a
major sport), basketball, soccer, fencing,
trapshootlng, chess, golf, water polo,
hockey, wrestling, billiards, track ath
letics, tennis, handball, cross-country
running and gymnastics. I believe, too,
that there have been Intramural boxing
and polo. It Is doubtful' whether any
other institution has shown the spirit of
sportsmanship to quite such a versatile
extent."
LANDEDTEMPERAMENTALSTAR
Record Is Two Seasons
Per Team and Plays as
Well as He Is Managed
A GOOD many rough-neck ball plajcra
get Into the temperamental classifi
cation through a mistake, tho Idea
entertained by many being that tempera
ment Is Indicated by u disposition to In
dulge to excess lit that which cheers
and to break things up a whole lot. A
good example of the real thing, however,
is accredited to Connie Mark this season
in securing Temperamental Tilly Walk
er. Apparently he lias drawn a real
playing problem a man who can play
as well as ho Is handled.
The nc outfielder secured from the
Hex Sox has hart a picturesque career.
Just like all artists who aro cursed with
the flcklo t.turf. He broke Into the game,
after playing swell ball ot tho Univer
sity of .Tennessee, as ft member of the
Spartanburg team of the Carolina Asso
ciation. Spartanburg Is a much better
known town than formerly Mnce the.
soldier boys put It to firmly on tho map.
But Walker. beat the soldiers to the
Job, for he lined 'em out at a ,390 clip
In his second season there, and then
Clark Grltnth went after him. He hit
around .275 for two years and then was
turned back to Kansas City. Here his
clubbing revived, and he ran his mark to
past the .300 mark during botn'-years
as a member ot that outm.
This gave Clarence another life, but
not much. It was with the Browns. As
usual, he stayed two seasons, and he next
did his accustomed time with tho Red
Sox In the effort to fill Tris Speaker's
brogans. Ho was purchased from St.
Louis for J3500 when the great Texan
was let loose by the Ited Sox to Cleve
land, and ha has filled the assignment
with uncertain success. He has played
In flashes and spots. He Is good In all
departments when ho Is right, and Is
particularly clever at the long drives.
He Is fast enough In getting about and
Is what Is known as a rangy fielder.
According to the dope sheet Walker
first saw the light of day In Denver,
Col., In 188S. Ho was educated at Ten-

Walker may be expected to remain a
couple of years with Connie. That Is his
limit with everybody and It would not
ho consistent to break -it. But tempera
mental people are not consistent and his
previous record may have been acci

through the first practice of tho year. It
was a strfc-ngo sight to pee the line-up
with only three former Athletics players
In the game. Bubo Oldrlng was chasing

filled In at short and Jimmy Jamleson
occupied his- old position In the right
gkrden. The; other men-wero strangers
so far as the local club Is concerned.
Larry Gardner was at third, Morris
Shannon played second, Georgo Burns
cavorted around first base and Marlln

are misting. Virtually a new ball club
Is on the field and Connie Mack In tho
only familiar face In the park.
But there Is no sign of gloom among
the new placers. They are out to play
good baseball and the team looks better
than In two years, liven Connie Is sat
isfied and Is more optimistic than we
eer havo seen him.
"Wo have a good ball club this year,"
ho said, "and I expect to be In tho run
ning. The players look better than at
this time last year and tho other clubs
In tho league will know that wo are In
the fight. The Infield, with Burns, Shan

together this morning and I can't see
where our outfield has been weakened.
Kopp Is a great player, Jamleson Is
good and Oldrlng looks like he did ten
years ago.
