I would suggest all young ’ layers to try this method in the eafly stages of their career. R . The Forchand Drive, The- forehand drive in lawn ten- nig'1s the opening of every offensive, urally it should be studied very carefully. There are certain rules thilt apply to all strokes in tennis and of these the drive has its full share, In order to reach a ball that is a short “distance away advance the foot that is away from the shot and thus swing into position. When one s hurried, it is not possible to change the foot position, throw the weight on the foot closest to the ball. | The forehand drive is made up of one continuous swing of the entire racquet. Always remember that all drives should be topped. The slice shot is a totally different stroke. All drives should be made with a stiff-locked wrist. There is no wrist wvement in a true drive. Top spin is put into the drive by the arm, not the wrist. Never under any favor the forehand drive oyer the back-hand. If you do your game will be one-sided. Develop both fore- hand" and back-hand, and be sure never to run around your back- hand. Especially never run around the return of your service. For to do so merely opens up your court to your opponent. 2 It caught in this position strive to face your returns, because a weak return means an easy kill for your ‘adversary. Do not develop one favorite shot gnd play nothing but that. If you have a fair cross-court drive use it in practice, but always try and de- velop -a straight shot. ! Always remember that - drives should have depth. ' The average drive should hit within three feet of: the back line. Omne should drive deep against the man who plays the bakeline, but shot against a net player, striving to drop them at his feet as he comes ii . Do not strive for terrific speed at first in your drives. The most essen- tial thing in driving is to get the ball into play. One of the greatest play- ers of all time said that the secret of his success at the game was the fact that he kept the ball in play. circumstances Accuracy is the keynote at first, then comes your speed -afterward, YANKS WILL PRESENT THE SAME LINEUP (Continued From Preceding Page). catching possibility, to assist Schang and Hoffman, Pitching wins pennants aud the ‘Yankees surely have it, Connie Mack admits their strength is at least 60 er cent better than any other club. lince there 18 no great authority in baseball than Connle, that statement 1s most interesting, Need Capable Substitutes The Yankees can hit the old pill. The pltehing staff stands out, and pitéhing is most essential, X On the bases the Yanks are just so- 80, but in these days of swat base running plays a minor role, It's the ring of the base hits that count, and the Yankees are capable of making a lot of noise with their “ats, It there i8 one department in which Huggins' team is lacking it is capable substitutes. Every etfort will be made to remedy this fau't, All of which makes it evident you can't overlook the Yankees in dop- ing out the finish of the American league race, It's a dangerous aggre- gation, YANKEES FINALLY WIN American Leaguers Come Back Strong Against Dodgers Meridian, Miss,, April 3, — One of those old fashioned ninth-inning ral- lies that the Yankees used to indulge in when murderers’ row really con- tained murderers, tied the Brooklyn Robbins into knots yesterday and whisked away a game that looked safely in the possession of the Nation- al leaguers. Everything the Yankees did smacked of old tim2s. They hit murderously, fielded well and ran the bases in intelligent rashion, makitg up for bad pitching by playing the hardest kind of offensive bageball, and best of all they came from the rear to win. The score was 13 to 9. New York ..... 030 400 015—13 Brooklyn . 101020050— 9 SCHOOLBOY FIVES TO PLAY. Teams from Thirty States Start Come petition in Chicago Today.

Surgeons now blame many things on the tonsils, and it was an opera- tion for the removal of these organs that seem to have cured Iddie Ghar- rity, star catcher with Washington. Infeoted tonsils poisoned his system and affected his throwing arm, If you are willing to take the word of Charley Herzog, former star of the New York Giants, the Rube Benton case is far from being settled. Judge Landis has announced that Benton {s eligible. President Heydler after taking first exceptions to the ruling, says he will pass out of the picture and put it squarely up to the Cincinnati club. Herzog, -however, is still to be heard from and report has it that he will make a loud noise very shottly. The clearing of Benton it xeems, does not reflect to the credit of tlerzog. Paddy O'Connor will say Howdydo to his pitchers and catchers when they blow into the capital city tomor- row, thus officially opening Eastern league activities there. If Mickey Noonan wins a regular berth with the Clarkinites he ought to be a good drawing card for New Britain fans, He always was a popu- lar player here, New Britain looked pretty good fast night on the alleys and Lofgren did some pretty neat rolling. Andy wasn't so bad either. H. C. DEFEATS GEORGETOWN Washington, April 8.—The Holy Cross nine stopped Georgetown’s long winning streak yesterday by defcating the local collegians, 5 to 1. The drub- bing administered by Jack Barry's team was the first experienced by Georgetown since it was defeated by the same college on May 27, 1921 at Worcester, Mass. Georgetown had amassed 32 consecutive victories. Jenkins of Georgetown was found for ten hits, four coming in the sec- ond inning, when Holy Cross scored four runs after the side'should have been retired. Georgetown 'played a weird fielding game, turning in six errors. Georgetown’s run was the re. sult of a homer by Jenkins. Carroll and Glennon of Holy Cross also de- livered round trip wallops.

Y., April 3.—Tor the firs time in Cornell’s rowing history the crews are practicing on the machines in April. Extremely cold weather in the last week has closed the Cayuga inlet, about two inches of ice blocking the channel yesterday.
