It's the Hall That Counts
Observe that It is the position of
the ball which counts. Therefore nl
waw be behind the ball, for no player
can be offside If lie is behind the boll
when It is last played. That is the
fundamental principle of offside. He
behind the ball when it is last ployed.
( you ore not behind the bnll when
It Is last ployed then you must see
that you have at least three of your
opponents nearer their own jjoal line.
Then, nnd only then, is It necessary to
bothrr about the number of opponents
between you nnd their goal line.
If, however, you find yourself ahead
of the ball in the opponents' hnlf with
less than threo opponents between yon
ind their goal, keep out of nnd do not
In nny way interfere with the play or
n opponent until you ore behind the
ball when it is last played by one of
your own side or until it is played by
an opponent or If you have three op
ponents between you nnd their goal
when the bnll Is played by one of your
own side farther from the opponents'
mn! limn yourself. That is simple
enough If the player will only think.
It Is not n nrencn oi tnc inw ior n
dnjcr simply to be in position but if
ii 'muses the nlny to be affected lie
lll be blown offside. It often happens
that n player is offside when, after car
rylug the ball down the field, an oppo
nent has taken it off lilm nnd cleared.
It Is then his duty to keep out of the
play until he can get onside, which he
should do ns rapidly as possible.
In the instructions to referees con
tained in the referee's chart of 1011) -JO,
It is noted thnt "the point to notice
I not where n player is when he plays
the bnll but where lie is nt the mo
ment it is played by n player of the
name muo. ii n pinycr is in
the
slbly bo offside, but if he is in front of
him ho is llnble to be so. Though a
player cannot be offside when nn op
ponent Inst plays the ball, or when n
corner kick, n throw In from touch,
or n goal kick, Is taken, this protec
tion censes the moment n second plnyer
Plays the ball, so that n player not off
side when such n kick or throw in is
tuken may, without having moved, bo
offside nt soon ns the bnll is played.
A player following up another of his
""n side who hns the bnll cannot bo
offside.
I'lnycrs may be oID-idc when a free
kljik or pcnnlty kick is tnken. An
opponent ploying the bnll puts n plover
uiiNiuu nt once, nut viuie standing off
side a pinycr must not interfere in nny
way with nn opponent or with the
piny.
Away back in December, 1010, the
International Council decided that a
irec kick must not lit given simply be
cause a player is in on offside posl
nun. xiuuerio ii nits uccn tnc cose
that if n player wns on a line with or
niicna of the ball he was offside. This
Is ChnilCCd 011 lino with thn hnll In
onside.
Instances of Offsldo
It not infrequently happens that a
plnyer who has carried tho ball down
the field will put himself offside by
stopping nnd putting himself in front
of the ball by taking n step or two
over it to put himself in better posi
tion in his mind to do something with
the bnll.
A forward can also put himiclf offside
if, when he hns beaten the bocks or
gotten through between them nnd their
own gonl and tnken n shot, the bnll hits
the post or cross bar nnd rebounds nnd
lie plays it before somebody else docs.
If, however, he replays it off the goal
keeper or a back ho is onside. It can
nlso happen thnt n forwnrd mny rcplny
a shot rebounding off the gonl bar or
cross bar if he had the three men in
front of him when lie kicked and then
on the rebound took himself from in
front of the three men, by running
nround one of the backs, and the ball
being in front of him, connects and
tnkes n second shot, making a good
gonl.
In another ense, n forward takes a
fairly long shot at goal with the backs
in front of him, one back advances
in nn effort to intercept, nnd the bnll
glances off his foot, to the position
where the forward had n mute who had
run up hehlnd the other back who con-,
nects with the bnll nnd scores. The'
shooter is not offside because lie re
ceived the ball from nn opponent.
In u ploy of somewhat the same
order ; one. forwnrd hns taken n shot
from in front of the backs and scored.
IJeforo tho ball got to tho goal keeper,
the mnte referred to In the Inst in
stance ran up to nnd obstructed the gonl
keeper in his effort to clear, nnd was
olo ahead of the ball when it was last
ployed

COURT TENNIS BEST RACQUET
GAMES AYS YOUTHFUL STAR
Dufton, Only 24, Likes Ancient Four-Wall Variety Belter Than
Any Other Tennis "More to It," Figures Auburn Comer
Tock Soutor, champion of tho world
at racquets, meets Roland Dufton. Bos
ton Tennis nnd Rarquet Club, in the
second round this nttcrnoon in what is
MUd to bo the first professional court
tennis tournament ever held.
The play begins nt 2 p. m. in the
court tennis nrenn of the Philadelphia
Racquet Club, Sixteenth nnd Walnut
streets, today.
Jock Sotitnr, the fnvoritc to win the
tournnincn,t nnd tho right to ehnllengo
Jny Gould for the world's court tennis
championship, won his way into the
second round by defeating Otto Glockcr,
of the Uoston Athletic Association, yes
terday afternoon, three sets to one.
Dufton plays Soutor today by virtue of
a three to two sets victory over Joseph
Mofs, a youthful star of the local Rac
quet Club.
The winner today will meet "Punch"
Fnirs, former champion, tomorrow for
(lie professional championship, now
claimed by Walter Klnsclla, who, how
ever, is not entered in tho present
tourney.
Iloth matches yesterday were bril
liant struggles with' tho "edge" often
in fnvor of the eventual losers.
Moss nnd Dufton took the rourr in
the lnte morning. Mossj stnrted off
splendidly tnking the five of the first
six games In the first set only to start
a medley of misses, which allowed Duf
ton to run out live straight games and
the mntch.
If he hod been able to seize anv one
of those five games it would have menut
the set and cventunlly the muteli, which
Moss wou'd have not won, II to 1.
Moss wns guilty of a good many errors,
but put up a snoniiy contest ngninst
a lino pinycr all the way down to the
hum game of the iutii set, where Duf
ton really put tho set nnd match on
ice with n clean cut score to the dednns.
The scores were 0-5, Jl-0, 0-5, 3-0
nnd u-1.
Tho Soutnr-Glockcr match saw bril
Hant shots, which often cnrrled the
gomes to deuce nnd snw n number of
rousing rn'lies. Glockcr, who defeated
Dufton recently, nims to get tho ball
back nnd let the other fellow moke the
errors.
His style vos successful, in n wny,
but Soutor wos too clever and played
n great game, forcing qunutltles of
grilles nnd dedans.
The scores were fl-4, 4-0, 0-4 and
0-2. Glockcr ployed a fine game off
the floor nnd stuck to his particular
style throughout, or he would probably
have been much more severely beaten,
stated the experts , heated In the $.'!;$
scnts.
Soutnr is expected to bent Dufton
todny.

TT'S great to see the young fellows
comlnR nlnug, nnd wasn't It n
sizzling match?"
That's the wny Fred Tompkins,
referee nnd pro nt tho Itncquct Club,
sixteenth nntl Walnut streets, expressed
himself nt the fiulsh of the court tennis
first round match between Ilolnnd
Dufton, Uoston Tennis nnd ltacquct
Club, nnd Joe Moss, the local
youngster.
Dufton won nn exciting five-set
tussslo which wns. anybody's mntch up
to almost the last sinnsh, tlirco scti
to two.
The winning llostonlnn. who Is op
posing Jock Houtnr, world's racquets
chnmnlon, this nfternoon In the second
round of the tourney, has threo mum
nsscts.
He's twenty-four ycnrs-old, ho hns n
winning game, and he lias red hnlr,
In the order mentioned.
Furthermore, Dufton Is n renl enthu
siast over tho game, is going to stick
to it and feels that court tenuis has
It all over every other variety of
tennis.
Best G.imo
"Court tennis," stnted Dufton, whilo
watching Jock Soutnr trounce Otto
Olockncr yesterday afternoon," is the
greatest game played. It Is the oldest
and the original tennis game. It is
tennis.
"i nave pinyeii lots oi inwn tennis
nnd other varieties with a racquet and
bnll, but give me court tennis every
time. There's more to It. There's
more science in court tennis than all
the rest combined.
"After nil, lawn tennis is n matter
of getting the ball back nnd forth over
tho net in n restricted nron. Once the
ball gets you, you're dune.
"Hut tho net in court tennis doesn't
figure so much, mid a pusd bnll means
less for you then get It as It bounces
back from tho wall. There are innum
erable wnys of scoring points in court
tennis."
Different Spin
Dufton stated that the method of
stroking n court tennis ball differed
radically from that used in lawn tennis,
more of a chop stroke than "luylng the
racquet over" the ball ns In the outdoor
game. In other words, the populnr
court tennis stroke nims for a bnckspln,
while outdoors the overspill prevails.
Court tcunis Is played with a smaller
rncquct tlun the outdoor weapon, nnd
with n hnrd, cloth ball slightly smnller.
It's played within four cement walls
with various openings, to connect with
which figures in the scoring. The bnll
Is taken on the rebound from the walls
and fo forth, usually from highly com
plicated positions It's n game that re-

After the two youngsters finished
their match yesterday they snld so far ns
they knew none of the competitors went
In for nny special diet, but thnt rigid
training wns required nnd thnt this
training consisted in "hnrd work" nt
court tenuis.
Gould Stands Out.
"That's why Jny Gould stnnds out."
was the opinion ot Young Dufton. "He
has his own court, he stnrted right when
he wns young, with it professional, nnd
he's nlways played hnrd mutches, nnd
plnyed them for nil he's worth.
"He knows whnt to do with n bnll In

;ieed to spring nround lightly on his
v..i rr. ........... . ,.. - , .
ns to where he ought to bo nnd he glides
Into that position without exerting the
effort wo do.
"I don't think he's the plnyer he wns
before the wnr. Walter Kinsell bent
him recently nt Tuxedo, hut still I
think Gould is n long wny from being in
danger for his lnurcls."
The defent of Joe Moss wns n disap
pointment to local funs yesterday. He
is n pupil of Fred Tompkins nnd has
been playing In creat style. Hut hi
feet seemed to go Imek on him yester-
uay nnu no wnsirt covering court ns
Dufton did.
It wns only Ills second match. He
was beaten last March by Dufton.
Lots of Tlmo
"Hc'h better thnn I nm," snid Moss
nfter the match, "but I've got iots of
time to lenrn. I nm going to stay with
court tennis nnd leave squash racquets
and other efforts to the other fellow.
To play court tennis well you've got to
play court tennis alone."
The failure of Walter Klnsclla. who
claims the profoi-siomil court tennis
championship, to appear for this tour
unment was a disappointment to the
officials.
Head of Organized Baseball
Fixes World's Series Pay
of Arbiters
Chicago, Jan. 14. The advisory
council representatives of major nnd
minor lengues held n conference with
Judge hiindis jeMerdnv nnd began
drafting rules. Slight alterations were
mnded in the code governing the world m
ncrlcs, the most notable change being
that the four umpires in the big games
of the future will divide n sum ctiuul to
one winning nnd one losing pinycr h
shnre. In the past the nrbltcrs have
been paid a lint sum of $1000 each for
their services, but this arrangement was
not satfactory to them.
It also was decided to increase thn
commission's assessment from the post
season battle. Under the old agreement
the commission took 10 per cent of the
gross to help defray operating expenses.
In the future the deduction will be lu
per cent. This increase may neip1 a
bit in meeting Judge I.nndis' $42,500
salnrv and the $71500 or $8000 thnt will
pny for the services of a secretary
treasurer to be selected by the judge.
Among the matters discussed by judge
nnd the advisory bonrd consisting of
Messrs. Johnson and Heydlcr. presi
dents of the American nnd National
Leagues respectively; M. II. ocxton.
nresident of the minor association, nnd
John 11. Fnrrcll, secretnry of the same
body, were rules to promote co-operation
In carrying out provisions of the
new agreement, procedure for settling
tirrnreiiees hptwrpn the major and
minors, nnd plans for prcsentntlon of
disputes nrislng between lengues of the
snmn classification.
Although Judge I.nndis malntninel
discreet silence on the Bubject, it was
whispered about that he would appoint
Fnrrel as secretary. Farrell has acted
as secretary for the minor association
for the hist twenty ycatf, so naturally
is well versed In his line. Whether
Judge Landls made Fnrrcll n tentative
offer is not known, but Fnrrcll will not
ncccpt unless the snlnry ns well as the
term of office are satisfactory, lift re
ceives S7G00 as secretary of the minor
body.
Among the niajor league owners still
nbout town were those representing the
New York, Pittsburgh, Boston and St.
Louis clubs. Reports had it that a
four-cornered transaction wos brewing,
but there was no inkling ns to the iden
tity of the plnycrs involved. From one
source it was whispered thnt If the deal
goes through It will include Rogers
Hornsby, the Cardinal star, or Itnbbit
Mnranville of the llrnvcs, nnd possibly
