WASHINGTON AND

May Ask War Department if They
Can Use Players Outside
the Draft
Chicago, July 20. (TJ. P.) Sharp dlt
ferences of opinion, It was predicted hsrs
tonight, will develop when AmertaAn
league magnates, meet Monday noon at
Cleveland to decide upon the league's ao-
Udn In response to Secretary Baiters
work or fight ruling.
Managements of at least two clubs
Boston ud Washington are not willing
to conclude the playing season at once, it
was declared. It was expected that these
dubs would advocate continuing the sea
son with players outside draft age, for a
time, at least. If ths federal authorities
a,re willing. -"
President Johnson of the American
league departed tbnight for Cleveland.
He refused to add to his earlier state
ment that he would-announce no action
until he had received more definite In
structions as . to the war department I
attitude. It was believed that he already-
has communicated with Secretary Baker
and will deliver the1 secretary's reply to
the magnates at Cleveland tomorrow.

ARTICLE NO. 4. THE BACK-HAND
DRIVE
"pHE back-hand drive bothers most
" 1 players mora than any. other
stroke in tennis.- It ought not .to
cause any bother. The trouble Is
that -the novice worries because he
cannot make as fast a stroke back
hand as he can fore-hand. If he '
would give the matter a moment's
thought he would readily see that be
cause he la cramped In making the -stroke
be cannot possibly put quite
the same "pep" ito It as he can
into the other open strokes.
He should not waste his time try
ing to make it as fast. Instead of '
that he should turn it into a very ac
curate defensive return. Learn to
lob. with your back hand mainly to
use against a very fast service
learn to place your lobs to a hair's
breadth. There Is no excuse what
ever for your not being even more
accurate back-hand than fore-hand
you are merely restricted In speed.
Nothing laFaaey Stuff
' Some players develop a fancy
back-hand stroke that Is very
pretty when It comes off. Unfor
tunately these fancy strokes are us
ually about 60 to 0 per cent errors.
Therefore it is better to avoid them.
Try to remember in making the
back-hand drive to stand with your
right foot forward so as to ease your
Isramped position as -much as possi
ble, but don't be fussy about it. Then
while watching the ball minutely try -hitting
it naturally, without a
thought In your mind of anyone
else's style. "
It may be that you have a per-
- fectly natural back-hand stroke of"
your own thaf only requires devel-
opment some people have. In fact
some players-actually, prefer to hit
the ball back-hand because they have
- better control of the ball for placing --than
they have forehand. A very
. important tip for the novice in learn
.. lng ' this, and indeeTL . every other
stroke in the game, is to strive to hit
the ball smoothly and naturally, --
- - Boat Copy After Stars -Xn
tennis books you see parts and
' pages devoted to : illustrating mi
nutely exactly the way certain stars '
stand, how they move their . arms,
how they hold their mouths; and the -novice
Is advised to, copy the exact
gestures and motions of these men.
Without a . doubt - such advice . has
hurt the game much more than it
has helped it. V . '
Teu hear people talking much of
good and bad "style." Until recent
years, the English players were the,
worst sticklers for this indefinable

"style" in making one's strokes. Now
Americans and Canadians are very
nearly as 'bad.- Positively there is
no such a thing as one accepted cor
rect style In tennis.
1 Dohertyt Wear Stead
The style of the English Doherty '
brothers njlght with some slight Jus '
tlflcation be pointed to as a standard
ttyle, for they, practically were
never beatear But it was one of those
very gentlemen who stated in his
tennis book that tennis is, after all
"getting the bait over the net"
That is saying a lot
Later Norman Brookes. - Maurice
McLaughlin, the late Anthony T.
Wilding. William M. Johnson and
R. Norrls Williams, came into prom
inenoe. You cannot say that the
style of Norman Brookes Is to be
rigidly aped by the beginner. be
cause McLaughlin defeated him :
nor can we accept the style of Mc
Laughlin, because - Wilding : van-
mulshed him. Can - we say . that .
Johnson' rame is perfect In style T
No. for. Winiama - later won the
championships And so it would go
on forever. v - .-
Tear Style Is Tear Own
There is no suoh thing as one C3r
rect style In tennis. The one cor
. rect style for you is your own style,
just as the correct style or Maurice
McLaughlin is his own style. There
is no doubt whatever that it is very
profitable to study the better play
ers In action but It is more to learn
how they use their head than their
. hands.
Don't waste time debating whether
it is better to hold your thumb along
the handle of your racket or around
jv Experiment and do simply what
- seems to come easiest to you re
; gardless of whether or not every
good player in your club does the
. opposite. - They are not you, and you
have to handle your own racket A
. very important word of advice la to
take with your back-hand every
. etroke that la easier or as easy to
v reach on that side.' -
aertr Se crffL
In practice never crawfUh around
to take a stroke with your fore
hand 4t la a mean trick to play on
, your weak back-hand wh(oh requires
every bit of practice possible. IX
you are to improve your back-hand
you must use it whenever It reason
. ably should be used Remember that
in this stroke, as in all others, your
, errors and misses most .often are
- directly attributable to your failure
, to watch the ball, not to your .weak-
' nesa in hitting. . . ; . , , .. ,. .. :

DntECTORS'ARE
EEOEUITED . FOR
ARMY ATHLETICS
Dr. Fisher Tells, Gathering at
Y. M. C. A. What Is Needed
for Recreation.
"Returning ; T. M. C. A. men state
that the French soldier knows nothing
of athletics and that his most exciting
game is croquet It is said that a Y
M. C. A. recreation director was teach
ing two irrencn nines now to piay in
door baseball with the big ball and the
little bat The T. M. man was umplr
lng and coaching at the same time. The
batter bit a line drive at the pitcher
and hit -him with the soft ball. 'Run
to first yelled the umpire-coach. The
batter was motionless a moment and
then ran quickly to the pitcher's box.
embraced the pitcher and apologised
humbly for having caused the latter to
be hit by the baseball."
This was only one of the interesting
stories told by Dr. Oeorge Fisher of New
York at the Urge meeting at the T. M.
C A. hut at Sixth and Taylor streets
yesterday, at which the first move -was
made to recruit recreational directors
for service in France, England and Italy
for the American. French and Italian
troops. The English go In strongly for
athletics, and therefore no work Is nec
essary among them. But It Is the
French and Italians who have no na
tional athletic games.
. Fersklsg Waats Blreetort
Dt. Fisher's talk was largely Inspira
tional, while other T. M. C A. leaders
dilated on the technical points of ser
vice, some bt them having seen servlco
In France. It waa at the direct request
of General Pershing, Dr. Fisher said.
that caused the athletlo and recreational
end of service to be taken over by the
Y. M- C. A which. In view of the large
number of troops now in France, ts
away short on its quota.
One hundred ' recreational directors
are wanted from the Pacific Coast with
60 from the Northwest and a drive la
being made to recruit this number.
More may be needed later. The age
limit Is between -91 and 60. none within
the draft age being taken unless he is
unfit for military service.
Allotments Mads Families
Dr. Fisher explained that the Y. M.
C. A. war work council would provide
the director with two uniforms, pay
him 1(0 a month for expenses, pay his
traveling expenses and give him an al
lotment to take care of his family. He
will be expected to provide his other
necessities. Directors are expected to
enlist for a year or the duration of the
war.
The government will investigate the
nationality and Americanism of the can
didate, which may take some little time.
If his parents were born In en enemy
country he le barred. The Y. M. C. A.
will eend him to Its Intensive training
school at Chicago and send him across
within six weeke thereafter. Fifty di

Iim A letter to the sporting editor of the Journal, ex
tracts from which were printed last Sunday,
Bobby Evans has drawn upon himself consider-
1. 1 : . t
Auic tiuicism irum inc oan rrancisco sen DCs. r
They cannot see why Bobby thinks we have bet-
ter boxing shows here in Portland than they do
down in San Francisco.
The answer is simple enough we give better medals, those of .
the heftier type, you know. "i
The able boxing editor of the San Francisco Bulletin, Leon
My'er, seems to think that because Frankie. Farren came up here
and landed a "kayo" on Alex Trambitas, there is more class around
the Bay City. '
He admits that Bronson defeated Ferren, but urges that Muff
cannot be given much credit, as Farren injured his leg at the close :
of the fourth round. . v
. Mr. Myer did 'not see the contest
so therefore did not see that Bron
son had the bout won by a mile
at the time the accident happened
to Farren. and probably would
have stopped the San Franciscan
bad he kept up the terrific on
slaught Miff Laid Off, ApparesUy
Anyone at the ringside could
plainly see that as Bronson real
ized Farren's plight he purposely
laid off. Possibly he Is open to
criticism for not kayoing Frankie,
but be that as It may, before the
accident Bronson clearly demon
strated to the fans present that he
was Farren's master and that the
latter's victory- over Alex Tram
bitas was helped in no small degree
by gentle smiles from the Goddess
of Fortune. Right now there ts no
small . number of fans who would
wager their ahecksut that Alex
would reverse the decision Farren
holds over him were they to clash
again.
Battling Ortega, California's cele
brated miller, waa held to a stand
still by Al Sommers, whom none
around here accused of being of
championship timber.
Naturally the main eventers are
about on a par between the . two
fistic centers, as the promoters try
to get the best obtainable to top
- the show, but how would the -following
kind of cards which Port
land fans enjoyed last spring look
'to the San -Franciscans f -
Bronson and Farren in the head
lines, .Duffy and Tucker semi-wind-up,
Jos Benjamin and Jack Labell
special event Weldon Wing and
Billy Mascot all These stellar per
formers oh one bllL -
Or, another card we had was Som
mers and Ortega, Duffy and Tuck
er, Abe Gordon and Billy Ryan.
Pete Mltchle and Harry Anderson.
Or still another was Farrall and
Sommers, Bronson and Neff. Wag
ner and Pete, Wing and Qulnn. -
- It la because we use higher class
. performers . to back up our cards
that Portland fans enjoy a better
brand of boxing than do their
brethren 10 the southland and Port
landers conversant with the ability
- of the boys around here as compared
to those around Ban Francisco wilt
agree with "Diamond Bobby
Evans, who has promoted himself
and Knows whereof he speaks.
It is more than probable that
Johnny McCarthy and Muff Bron
son will be the feature bout of the
first show next season. - It Is said
that two different local promoters
are angling for this bout and
should one of them secure the. first
date of the fall season from the
boxing commission, this will be the
headline contest
It should be a eissler, as Bronson
has struck his stride and McCarthy
la the beet trial horse In the west
Seattle fans, will enjoy a 10
. round bout next Saturday evening
between Mick King and Bob Mo
AlUster. It will be the feature
event of an athletic carnival being
promoted next week, the profits
from which will go to the victory
fund of the Girls Honor league in
the Sound metropolis.
