SPORTS. _'.Majors Pay One Circuit $200,000 for Pitchers : Paddock Wou FIVE FROM PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE BRING THAT SUM Yanks Give Top Sum of $75,000 for May of Vernon. Dumovitch, Thurston, Kunz and Walberg Other Flingers Who Graduate. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, December 22.—The five pitchers who are coming into N big leagues from the Pacific coast circuit in 1923 are worth $200,000 on the hoof—that is, measured according to the scale of values established in base ball since the prices of everything went up, including a seat in the bleachers. According to old values, the most promising would be valued at $10,000 and the others would diminish-toward the equivalent of a bat bag and the mascot. The best of the lot is May of Vernon, who is wanted by the New York Americans, and really has been taken by the Yanks, although nego- tiations have been held up for the moment because of the draft embargo which has been placed on the Pacific Coast League by the action of the majors. Vernon has asked if the Yanks mean that any young player ex- changed to the California circuit must be subject to the draft.

NEW YORK, December 22—The writer ran into Harry Wills today. He was all dressed to kill, going to a party or something up in Harlem. Asked how he was feeling he said fine. He was keeping himself in shape, he sald because it 100k to him as though the dream of his life will be realized next summer. In other words, he will face Dempsey in the ring. He has had the tip-off to keep himself in condition and not to do anything that would make him unpopular with any- & bod; may be getting older. Of course, he is. The fact that he doesn’t look it—and he does not—means rothing because slackened sinews and a little stiffness in a joint or a lack of snap in a punch don't show in a man’s face, nor do they figure in hl bodily appearance. The best judges figure that Wills will not be so good by next summer as he was last sum- mer or the summer before that. But even so, they hold that Harry will be the best man Dempsey has ever faced. Jack Britton says that Wills can stand any amount of punishment about the body, but he has a weak jaw. Jack's observations are based upon several vears of work in the same gymnasium with Wills. The former welter king thinks also that Harry is much better against & man to he knows he can lick than against one of whom he has reason to be doubtful. 1 (Copy YANKEE TOSSERS SEEK MORE COLLEGE SCALPS AVING had a taste of college opposition, the Yankees, independent basket ball champions of the District, are more than anxious to tackle all varsity quints in this section. The Yanks believe their 43-t0-37 victory over Grove City Coljege at Central Coliseum last night entitles them to serious consideration by the colleges, and they are ready at any time to take on a team of such class. George Washington and Navy are to be met later in the season by the District title holders, and if these aggregations are defeated, the Yanks will hike west for some en- counters really important, both from competitive and financial stand- points. The -Yankees did not achieve their win over Grove City without a struj gle. Outscored from the court,: t visitors had in Hartman an accurate tosser from the foul line. He pocket- ed thirteen of the seventeen shots. The game always was close, with the Yanks having a slight edge all the way.

TENNIS RULES UNIFIED By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 22.—Represent- atives of all the principal tennis- laying nations mecting here agreed to standardization of the rules of the game. The American standard of re- quired resiliency in the balls was adopted. The American provision for a rest period after the third set in men’s matches and after the second set in women's, it was decided, shall here- after be universaily followed in in- ternational contests. The various na- tions may, however, modify this rule tor purely domestic matches. A new international foot-fault rule was adopted. and this also is substan- tially the same as that effective in the United States. The foot-fault rule laid down by the United States Lawn Tennis Asse- clation provides that before commenc- ing to serve the server shall stand with both feet at rest behind the base line and within the limits of the cen- ter mark and side line. From the time of taking such stand and until the racquet strikes the ball blth feet shall remain behind the base line Indl at least one foot shall remain 9n the ground. The American resiliency rule, which was adopted, provides that the balls shall have a minimum bound of 45 inches and a maximum of 60 inches when dropped from a height of 100 inches upon a concrete base in a tem: perature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The delegates adopted the English standard of size and weight, which varies but slightly from that obtain- ing_in the United States. (The United States Lawn Tennis Association requires that balls shall measure not less than 29-16 inches nor more than 210-16 inches in diam- eter and shall weigh not less than two ounces nor more than $1-16 ounces. The Americans’ objection to the In- ternational Tennis Federation agree-: ment granting Wimbledon the right to stage the world championships in perpetuity was the subject of in- formal discussions. While all the delegates were silent as to the definite outlook, they agreed that the concord among the tennis officlals presaged an early agreement on the matter.

LONCH N RNG TONGHT | AGANST MIDGET SHITH NEW YORK, December 22.—Joe Lynch and Midget Smith will battle for the world bartamweight cham- plonghip in a fifteen-round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight. Lynch, the present champion, is one of the few ring stars who ever re- gained a lost title. After losing the crown to Pete Herman in July, 1921, Lynch recovered it last summer by defeating Johnny Buff, Herman's con- queror. Doubt has been expressed as to whether Smith would be able to make 118 pounds, the bantamweight limit, ibut he tipped the scales at exactly that figure late yesterday. The ar- ticles call for both men {o weigh in at 2 o'clock this afternoon. This will be the third meeting of the two, Lynch gaining the decision in one engagement and the other end- ing in a draw, SCHULTZ OFFERED 108 AS COACH AT DETROIT DETROIT, Mich.,, December 22.—A. G.

CHICAGO, December 22.—Bud Tay- lor of Terre Haute, Ind. and Pal Moore of Memphis, Tenn., bantam- weights, will meet in a ten-round ibout here tonight. 1 Correct Rule BY ED HOOTING. The writer will not describe any of the one- hand shots. He is a strong be- liever in two-hand basket ball. Pass two hands, catch two hands, and shoot two hands. You will have fewer poor passes, fewer fumbles, and fewer missed shots. You will also find your team will make fewer fouls. If a player keeps two hands on the ball, he will not be using a stiff-arm on opponents. to catch two hands he will keep his hands off opponents. If he goes in_to take the ball away on a dribble with both hands he has a better chance of getting the ball and less chance of making a foul. Why try to pick a loose ball up off the floor with one hand, when you know it is most impossible Don’t use “English” or twist of any kind on the ball. Don't try long shots. It breaks up team play and in most cases gives possession of the ball to the opponents. Keep passing the ball and work it up to a good posi- tion before you shoot. —_—— 1EASTERN AND BUSINESS i QUINTS PLAYING TODAY Eastern and Business High School tos: ‘were to face other pcholastic aggregations this afternoon in basket ball contests.

EW YORK, December 22.—Charley Paddock, the great Pacihc coast sprinter, may come east this spring with the design of proving to the authorities of the Amateur Athletic Union that he merits the great reputation which the watches of track timers on the west coast have given him. Paddock has been invited to make the journey, it is re ported, and he is now considering the project. Whether he comes east or not, he is committed to an earnest effor: to demonstrate to the world that his performances in southern California this year were really world record feats, depsite the refusal of the A.

When this body decided adversely in the matter of the times turned in by the western clockers, covering various distances ranging from 70 to 175 yards, Paddock was bitterly disappointed.

Being the. sort of athlete he is, h ever, Paddock's mood at the end resoived into. onie of grim determination to convince every one that he is the swiftest rynner at all sprinting distances that the world has seen since records To thin end jad pise Tup bie preteried NOW pre ing himself for his-supreme. nthe spring. g Assuming - he “did really’ broak these Tecords in southern Callfornia last spring—and a lot of eastern track fo! lowers are inclined to the -bellef th he did—it 1§ asking-& lot of him to re- gelt his achieyement; Champlons are ut -human and their big moments come at rare intervals even when they are at the peak of their powers. Charts of Paddock's 175-yard dash, in which rec- ords for the various, intermediate dis- tances were timed, show that between the £0 afd 90 yards he must have been covering 8.33 yards per second, which worked out to 12 seconds for the 100 and that between the 90 and 100 yards he was covering 16.66 yards per second which would work out about a 100 yards in 6 seconds. Studying the chart as formulated fo: the entire 175 vards, curious bursts and then lapses in the specd curve are noted. Perhaps it was this fact that caused th- A. A U. to reject the times as sub- mitted by the western clockers. Bots Bruamer, the erack Lafayetie foot ball player, represented one or two other colleges before he came to the eastern institution. Now, having played his last game for the Maroon, his ex- cellent work was duly 1ecognized the other day by the gift from his fellow collegians of—what? Well, a trav ling bag. Let us hasten to say, howeve that thers is nothing significant, ats: letically speaking, in this.

LITTLE LESSONS FOR THE GOLFER By George O'Neil 1t in the golf a sort of a “greed” to He does mot let his club- head have sufiicient time to sweep down and enap through. The re- sult is that, while the club is tak- em up properly and a good body mlance attained at the top of the stroke, all is lost through trying 1o get the clubhead to the ball too uickly. This usually happens player tries to “kill” the a slice results. The golfer must rid his mind of the idea that the solf stroke is a matter of force nd brute strength.
