NOT FOR SALE CONVFIISATIONAL currency, which is a way of say ing local tender in basoball circles, will be spilled all over Chicago thin week. Magnates from nil points in the American and N'ntlonnl Leagues will gather in n joint meeting and endeavor to outtnlk each other. Those with the strongest voices will win. The big idea is to get together closely, talk things over with the. judge and try to frame up nn agreement which will be efTcctivo nnd govern everything until an important case comes up. Mr. Landis will be given full power and will bo very thankful. He will not have a lot to any until as wo said before nn important decision has to be made. In everyday life the judge lUtens to both Bides of tho argument, renders the verdict nnd has the courtroom wopt out for the next case There never is n squawk from cither side, because It isn't being done these days. In baseball, however, it is different. There never is n winner and a loser. Ccrtnlnly not. There must be two winners or tho magnntes won't play. For example, take the Scott Perry case. Scott was working for our A's nnd was claimed by Boston. The Nntionnl Commission upheld George Stallings' claim, which is ulnng for copping the decision. But that was nil SUilllngs got the decision. Connie kept tho player nnd still has him. Now he doesn't know what to do with him. Anyway, Connie and Stall -ings both won and nobody lost. Therefore, Judge Landis will enjoy his job until he tarts working at It. But that'a looking into the future, and the future hns a habit of taking care of itself. While the judge is being handed the soft btuff the magnates will make merry in the corridors of the hotel, vocally and otherwise. Many startling deals will be dis cussed. Star players will be sought nnd the mnguate who speaks in terms of less thnn $100,000 will be rlretl from the union. John McGraw is on the job with a bank roll large enough to choke a tunnel. He will renew his offers for Rogers Hornsby and probnhly will raise the ante. He reached $300,000 last week nnd will go to $400,000 unless he gets lockjaw. The Chicago Cubs lmvc dusted off the kale bag and Informed Johnny Evcrs that tho sky is the limit in pur chasing new talent. That makes another Interesting fea ture Evcrs nnd McGraw trying to outbid each other for players who arc not on tho market.

Giants and Cubs Sprinkle Cash J AWN McGRAW is doing his darndest to get together a real baseball club. For the first time in years the Giants nre experiencing some opposition In the big town, and unless championship ball is plnycd from the start Babe Ruth and the other half of the Yankee team will draw nil of the customers. Jown hasn't won n pennant for a long time and it is time to wipe off the slate und start nil over again. When the Giants are going good nil of the other clubs in tho league profit thereby. New York crowds pay big money into the gate nnd the visitors get port of the dough. Therefore it ia up to McGraw and Stoneham to bolster the line-up with some stnrs. A second or third baseman, one outfielder nnd a couplo of pitchers are needed; but where, oh WHERE, are they to be found? It is the same with the Chicago Cubs. Out there the National Leaguers have a great chanco to step into popu larity, for the White Sor club has been wrecked and the folks like to follow a winner. Wrlgley has kicked In with the green upholstery and Evera is frantically searching for high-rlass talent. The trouble with the modern baseball manager 5s that INTERNA TIONAL GOLF PROMISED BIG SEASON Walker Cup for World's Team Championship Sensation of U. S. G. A. Meeting Nations to Play in Septem ber 3 American Golf Bands to Go Abroad By SANDY McNIBLICK Play by the nations for the team golf championship of the world, sometimes heretofore only dreamed of was as sured at tho annual meeting of the United States Golf Association Friday last, with the presentation to the T S. G. A. of the Walker International Championship Cup by George Herbert Walker. Though retiring ns president of the national body, Mr. Walker by his act has written his nume in golf his tory for all time. International competition to nn ex tent hitherto unknown will become a fact this year with the announced ex cursion of a team of American amateurs broad. American team entry in tho htree major British championships, the whisper of counter-invasions for our main titles by the leading foreign favor ites, nnd the play for the Wnlker Cup. The presentation of this latter trophy was the outstanding feature of the golt meeting, though It was submerged by tho absence of most of tho delegates in the wtlon de repas, and the confusion following tlie award of the national championships. Surprise Package Mr. Walker's gift wns a surprise to nearly all those present. He has prepared a long list of tentative regula tions regarding play for the cup, which make it similar to the famous Davis Cup of tcnnlsdom. One of the first announcements made by the newly elected president of tho U. S. G. A., Howard F. Whitney, wus that W. C. Fownes, Pittsburgh, had corralled nine leading American stars to go abroad to compete this season for the British amateur ohnmpioushlp, where Bob Gardner, Chlcngo, was beaten on the thirty -seventh hole of the flnnls last year. These volunteers who nre giving up their timo nnd going at their own ex pense solely for tho glory of Amcricnn amateur golf ure: Chick Evnns, Amer ican champion ; Francis Ouimet, run ner up J Dave Hcrron, 1011) champion; Bob Jones, runner-up that year: Mux Mnrston, Merion; Parker W ("Buck") Whlttcmore, Fownes, Nelson M. Whit ney. Reggie Lewis and very probably Bob Gardner. I The same day had come the news that Miss Alexa Stirling, Mrs. Ronald n. Barlow. Mrs. W. A. Gavin. Miss Marion Hollins, Mrs. F. C. Letts and Mls Edith Cummings, six tiremicr women stars, would compete in the same way abroad this season to win honors for America. And during tho meeting tho talk was that the proposed sending of ten or a dozen lending United States pros, led by Jock Hutchison, Walter Ilngen and Jim Barnes, would become a reality. , , . Mr. Walker's gift of the interna tional team cup, therefore, made pros pects unanimous for the most galu year of International golf in history. Starts In September Tho first competition will he held in September this year over the course of ' the National Links of America, South ampton, L. I.

Mnnagcrs who have star performers in the llnc-up have taken n Ktrnnglchold and cannot bo pried loose. 1'crhnps if the buyers forgot the National League for n time nnd tried to get some players from Jack Dunn at Baltimore tho job would be easier. Jack has a few high -class athletes and might part with them for n consideration. Dunn has three plnyers, nnd it is rumored he will pnrt with them for the trilling sum of $100,000. They nre Jack Bently, Jncobson and Holey. Bcntley is n pitcher, but plnys first base. He is n good hitter and was much sought nftor by the big league scouts. Jncobson, nn out fielder, once wns with the Oinnts, but drifted away. Ho recently was signed by Dunn for $5500 a year. Bolcy is n Brent shortstop and n wise ball player. Ho is not ns good n hitter as Bentley, but can hold his own in nny company. Bolcy also wns n pitcher before Dunn made a short fielder of him. rTlOSB three players arc said to be on the market, and it tcoutdn't be at all surprising if they urrc purchased this week. Matt Hinklc Should Be Chairman NEW boxing laws will he framed in New York this week when representatives from eighteen stntes where the game Is permitted meet in executive session. An effort will be made to standardize the rules and elect n national chairman. This is the same plan advanced by Matt Hinkle, of Cleveland, several years ago. Mr. Hinkle, who is n wenlthy sportsman, formed the National Boxing Associa tion and wns elected president. Hp tried to get promoters and managers interested, but received no support and the project fell flat. Matt Hinkle would be a real chairman of tho new boxing body. He is fair, square, fearless and has had wide experience. He is wealthy enough to devote nil of the time to the position nnd no one would do more con scientious work. Ho is known from coast to const, has tho confidence nnd respect of everybody nnd could do more for the game than nny three men. Hinklc should be seriously considered for the position. Boxing lnws nre nil right, but scvernl volumes ennnot do ns much ns the recent ruling in New York when tho price of tickets wns cut. Limiting tho ducats to $15 each has regulated the sport better than nuything else. No longer will tho boxers receive nbnormnl purses nnd no longer will tho public pay the freight. From now on tho champions nnd near-chnmpinns will work for safe, sane und rntlonnl wages nnd $100,000 purses will be a thing of tho past. Everybody admits the Carpentler-Dcmpscy match hns gone Uoole, so far as this country is concerned. Tho $500,000 purse cannot be handed out because the chances nre the other states will follow New York In legalizing the iprice list. Therefore, the championship battle will be held abroad If It ever is hold. Georges Carpentier made n significant statement in Amsterdam yesterday. The Frenchmnn wns socking his old spurring partner Lcnnercs, n Belgian, who still thinks the war Is going on, nnd stopped long enough to say : "I might box Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh, before the Dempsey match." A month ngo, nftor Moran flattened that well-known English nobleman, Joe Beckett, known in exclusive circles ns tho Count of Ten, Carpentier said he never would meet him in tho squared circle.

We gathered, however, that each nutlonal body will select his own team, and Mr. .Wnlker suggested thnt the legitimate expenses of the teams be pnid. There will bo four men on a team, with two substitutes, nnd the competi tion will lust a week. All matches will he nt thirty -six holes, one point for ench eighteen, and two for the match. Four-ball matches will be played the first day, with sin gles the other four days. This year the team winning the cup will become world's tonm champion. Next year the nations disputing tho title will play an elimination round for tho right to challenge tho champion. Chances Bright Canada, Great Britain nnd the United States are virtually sure to play for the cup this year at the National Links, with Belgium.

You WASH'M!ir l WAA SKILL IN TRAPPING A SOCCER ESSENTIAL This Department of Game Most Important in Controlling Ball Three Easy Methods Player Must Learn Balance and Keep on His Toes By DOUGLAS Condi of llio University of I'miMolviinlii TJAVING dealt with tho kicking of the ball in soccer, the different phases of controlling the ball after it has been set in motion, require consid eration. Probably the most important phase of control is the nrt of trnpping nnd block ing the ball. A knowledge of trnpping is essential to cnnblc n player to re ceive nnd pronel the ball in mldficld, in receiving and intercepting passes or kicks. Sound judgment is required ns to tho speed with which the ball travels and tho curves nnd angles which it de scribes In its flight. There nre sevcnl methods of trnpping the ball. Three of theso most easy of attainment nro trapping with the body below the ribs, with tho leg from the knee down to tho inside of the foot, nnd with tho solo of tho foot. Trnpping n Bounce Tho first Is npplicnblo when tho ball has bounced off the ground and risen to n height of about three nnd onc-hnlf or four feet, or when the ball is traveling at the height stated above the ground, or when it is advisable to gain control of the ball In Its descent from n height before it reaches the ground. In using this method the player, if the ball Is coining toward him on the rise or on i level, permits the ball to come in con tact with his body and immediately bends forward, the ball droping nt the player's feet, which, of course, nre ready to dispose of the ball ns the player desires. In receiving a descending ball the same movements of the body nre used, with- the Addition of impelling tho body sharply forward. The second method is used in the en deavor to gain control of u descending ball, u ball truvellng with a low ilight or on the ground. In using this method the player sets tho receiving foot nt a right angle to the line of Ilight of the ball, with the feet slightly apart, the weight mainly on the opposite foot. The heel of the receiving foot is raised slightly off the ground and the knee of that leg Hllgntiy uent inward nnu some what over the ball when It comes in contact with tho ankle nnd the inside of the foot. The inner bend of the leg has the effect, ns does the forwnrd bend of the body in the first method, of neu traliy.ing the spin of the ball und causing it to fall or lie practically dead. The third method Is used particu larly with a descending ball or n ball traveling on or close to the ground. To use tills method the player lifts tho receiving foot off the ground a dis tance of about six or seven inches nnd elevates the front part or sole of tho foot to an niiglis of about H." to 40 de crees. This applies particularly hn trnpping a ball traveling on tho ground. If the ball Is above the ground it is, of course, necessary to elevate the receiv ing foot to an extent sufficient to re ceivo the ball and then immediately drop tho foot on tho ball so ns to bring it to the ground. Brain Must Act QulrJtly With a descending ball It is necessary to put tho foot on it ut the moment it reaches tho ground, or just as It starts Opens Next 199MiliilSBli9iHii lliyillllillii H iililllilllii H It I W ft Q 2 y I irWfl!

This requires good judgment as to the probablo action of tlie ban, for ll tlie spnerc starts to rise in mo direction of its flight the trap is easy, but if the ball, by reason of n lateral spin or striking n tuft or other ob struction, hns its course detlccted then, unless the player has jammed his foot on tlie ball just ns it hits the ground, he is very npt to loso it. The same judgment is required to nn even greater degree in trnpping by tho other two methods. For in tho second method, if tho ball is allowed to rise and Is deflected by reason of the spin or n tuft, the player Is likely to find that the ball has passed over his foot or between his legs If they are set too widely apart. Here again judgment is required to trap the ball just ns it strikes the ground nnd before it can rUe. Tho first method of trapping is used by n halfback in receiving n long kick intended for nn opposing forward, who, intending to receive the hall on his head and deflect It. misses It and the ball, passing over his head, hits the ground and bounces, the bounce being received by tho half nnd the bail sent to one of liis own forwards. The advantage of getting possession of the ball in this manner is obvious. All the advantage Is with tho trapper and the player who missed the ball Is completely out of play temporarily. All methods of trapping require the player to hae himself nicely balanced on one foot, for if, say ln tho third method, he tries to put his weight on the ball ho not only places himself at a disadvantage, hut is apt to be thrown. In any event he will require so much time to steady himself thnt a quick opponent can easily chargo him over. To acuuire the balanco necessary it is well for tho player to practice what Is called the "balance 6tcp." All play ers who have been in the army know how this is done. It can be acquired by standing on onu foot, with tho body upright und tho chest expanded, and swinging the other leg through an arc, the too being kept down duriug the entire swing. It is well for the budding player to acquire his bulauco with the heel of the foot on the ground slightly raised. To the player who can stand on the hall and toes of one foot and swing the other leg with freedom n greater ease in play ing will be manifest. On Their Toes In all three methods of trapping the player stands with the heels elevutcd, the weight resting on tho soles of the feet. As n matter of fact the real player during plaj neer has his heels on the ground. w5ffi 1 wish to emphnslze the necessity for the plnyer to exercise judgment in positioning the body und tho timing the foot and body uction in connecting with the ball. The only way this can be done is by constant und assiduous practice. It is well nlso to have tho body Inclined slightly forwnrd so ns to have the weight ln sucli position that it can easily be exerted in getting rid of the ball nftor It is trapped.

"that tho White Sox last season would easily have been the Srcatcst ban cluu in tho game, if the lscredlted players had only been honest. It doesn't strlko mo they wcro quite that good." Tho White Sox, in their most honest mood, were never so good n ball club as tho Cubs of 1000 nnd 1007 or tho Ath letics ni 1010 nnd 1011. Chnnco, Evcrs, Tinker nnd Stein feldt Mclnnis, Collins, Barry nnd Bnker; cither of these infields had sev eral shades on the White Sox combina tion, where only Collins nnd Weaver were good onu pinycrs. Bny Schnlk is n grcnt catcher, but so was Johnny Kllng. The White Sox outfield, with Jncksnu, Felsch nnd Col lins, ccrtnlnly hnd nothing on the Sheeknrd-Hofmnn-Sohulte nrrny. And the old Athletic pitching com bination of Bender, Plnnk and Coombs had a running jump on Cicotte, Wil liams, Kerr nnd Fnber. Tho White Sox nt their best were very good, but not the greatest machine in hlBtory by eight or ten parasangs. Tho Difference . Q1 o IB Why Isu't David, pound for nound. tho greatest fighter in his tory? Isn't ho the only lightweight in history that ever knocked out n heavy weight with one punch? If there is another ono I never heard of him. F. B. K. TRUE enough as far as it goes. But under modern conditions few boxers arc permitted to enter n ring with n nllnir nml n brick covlv concealed about their persons. There is a big difference between a six-ounce giove nnu a live ounce rock. fTIHE toughest opponent that Benny J- Leonard will meet this season will be the lightweight displacement. He enn still slip under tho mark, but not with ninny ounces to spare. And few boxers lose weight as they grow older. Bill vs. BUI THE tennis campaign for 1021 In the main looks to be an nffuir of Big Bill vs. Little Bill. Tilden nnd Johnston between them hnve mopped up from Forest Hills to Ncw Zealand, with no one In sight to crowd either to the lop of his game. Johnston stopped Tilden decisively In 1010. Tilden overturned 4he verdict in 1020. Thcv nro so well matched that no one can tell what adjustment 1021 will bring about. But their meeting Is likely to carry more interest than even tho Davis Cup matches, unless some outside coun try can suddenly develop additional talent. When Brookes and Patterson, playing nt home, were tumble to check out n match out of live starts, the wide dis crepancy can he noted. Theso two hofd the same margin of superiority nt home. They stampeded tho field in 1010 and last vear again overpowered nil outside rivalry. Their reign won't Inst forever, but neither could lie classed as a veteran yet. If they carry the stamlha of Norman Brookes, the two Bills will control the tennis bituation for many years to come. w HAT game has the biggest drawing capacity? Our guess is football.
