THRUSTS - ■) CHARLIE ROBERTSON, the White Sox pitcher who, last summer, flung that famous nohit, no-run game against the Tigers in Detroit, has signed at last to pitch as many more like it as he can in 1923. Kid Gleason, skipper of the White Sox, made this announcement Tuesday evering as the team entrained at Ft. Worth, Tex., for Shreveport, La., in company with the Giants. Robertson held cut. this year for a raise of SI,OOO on the strength not only of his no-hlt-no-run game, but his general record for effectiveness throughout the season. In a moment of reckless generosity. Charles Comiskey. owner of the White Sox, offered Charlie a hun-dred-dollar boost for the season, or something like $4 a week. And so Robertson hemmed and Comiskey hawed for these last four months. It .is understood that the raise will amount to $8 a week, which is a great moral victory for him. but not of much use at the grocery store where Charlie #s his diet. -I- -!- -I----"Hello Columbia.” sat<i Percy Hawrhton, famous Harvard football coach when he faced 800 Columbia University students in New York Tuesday just before the football team was called out for spring training.

Same Old New York Yankee Outfit Starts American League Race

1922 LINE-UP WILL TAKE FIELD IN OPENING GAME Some Recruits Show Class, but Not Enough to Displace Veterans —Rumored Infield Shift Fails to Materialize,

By BILLY EVANS NEW ORLEANS, La„ April 4.—There will be no new faces in the line-up of ; the New York Americans when that club ; takes the field In the opening game of ; the American League race. Wally Schang will be back of the bat. j The infield will be Pipp. Ward, Scott j and Dugan. In the outfield Bob Meusel, ■ Babe Ruth and Whitey Witt will do the | fly chasing. In the box will be one of the five vet- ! erans on the pitching staff. Bush. Shaw- : key. Holt. Mays and Pennock. Rumor has it that Miller Huggins would shift his infield slightly, sending Ward to third and Dugan to second. Ward, originally a third baseman, would much prefer to play his old position, but it so happens that Dugan has no desire to play second. No Infield Shift "Ward 5s a mighty fine second baseman.” said Huggins in discussing the suggestion, "while Dugan has only ; played a half-dozen games at that poI sition and has no desire to move over, j "Shifting Ward and Dugan would I break up two positions with no objec- ! tive to be gained. There Isn't a chance jof any shift in the Yankee infield. It | will start the season as it finished last ' year.” | That settles all that talk Asa matter of fact, the Yankees' sec- ! ondary defense is none too strong. Hug- | gins irar.kly admits tha* he nee' s inj other utility inflelder to help out Mike i McNally, who is really the only capable j infield substitute the Yankees have j Os the infield recruits. John Wight II looms up as the best prospect. The Yankees have picked up some excellent outfield material in Hendricks. Tucker and Haines.

MUELLER IS TECH COACH Former Lehigh Athlete To Teach Baseball on East Side. John Mueller will couch the Technical High School baseball team this year. Ho takes the place of Willie Kingsolver, who has resigned. Mueller was assistant baseball and football coach last year. He is from Lehigh University. Mure than 150 candidates are out. but have been unable to get practice because of the weather. The squad met In the gym Tuesday. The new coach must get his team together in a hurry, as the season opening Is only two weeks away. AUGUSTA. Ga. —President Harding and his party watched the Detroit Tigers defeat the Toronto Internationals here Tuesday, 9-2.

Tucker are left-handed hitters and have shown much ability at the hat. As to fielding, there is room for improvement. "Hinky” Haines is the former Penn State football and baseball star. Iloetlegor Looks Good Os the young pitchers in the camp. Oscar Roetteger made by far the best impression on me. Roetteger is a big right-hander, who stands out far more than his record of sixteen wins with an equal number of defeats would indicate. He was with Sioux City in the Western League last year. I also liked the looks of Catcher Bengougli. with Buffalo in the International League last year He is short, but built along husky lines, and is the most active player on the field. The Yankees can hit the old pill. The pitching staff stands out, and pitching is most essential On the bases the Yanks are just so-so. but ir these days of swat base running plays a minor role If there is one department in which Huggins' team is lacking it, is capable substitutes. Every etfort will be made to remedy this fault.

By VINCENT RICHARDS Famous Tennis Star Copyright. 1923, NEA Service. Inc. The art of volleying is nothing more than taking the ball in mid-court or up closer to the net, while it is in the air, and returning It to your opponent's court. The greatest volleyer in the world today is "Little Bill” Johnston, the California wonder. Johnston is the greatest natural volleyer that I have ever seen. He is a marvel on what is called shoul-der-high “volleys." To feed the ball to him at that height means a sure point for the little coast marvel. It Is doubtful if a man could win the national singles championship the way the game <s played today, without acquiring the art of volleying. The backcourt game is fine, but one must be able to go into the net position to finish off your point or the other man will. I volley with a full sweep of the racquet.

ly are without speed on their volleys. The full sweep of the arm imparts the needed speed to your volley, which is so necessary when you are at the net position. William T. Tilden. world's greatest tennis player, is not a natural volleyer by any means. It is only the last year or two that a critic could class Tilden's volleying as first class. Always remember to volley With a stiff wrist Be sure to delay your execution to the last possible fraction of the second. as it keeps your opponent guessing just that much longer. If your volleying is weak at your feet, advance closer to the net. eliminating the "half-volley" if you possibly can, as it is one of the hardest shots in the game of lawn tennis today. The way I learned to volley was simple. I took a half a dozen balls and found a brick wall and practiced hitting the ball in the air for hours at a time. I would suggest all young players to try this method in the early stages of their career.

LACK OF OUTDOOR WORK IS HOLDING INDIANS BACK Gloomy Days Not the Thing to Make Players Thrive —Rehg Returns to Tribe by Official Decree After Conference Tuesday,

April showers do not put ball players in shape. The Indians were kept off the field at Washington Park Tuesday, and the outlook this morning looked like one moie . day of gloom. Manager Hendricks sent his athletes j through some indoor paces at the Y. M. C. A. gym Tuesday, and another afternoon of indoor treatment apparently faced them today. The Tribesmen and New York Giant Yannigans hoped to wind up their spring series today, but the mean weather forced the calling off of the contest. The Cincinnati Reds will visit Indianapolis for games Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Tuesday was a day of some importance to the Indians, despite the chilly, damp weather. President Tom Hickey of the American Association visited the city and his call resulted in the Tribe getting Outfielder Rehg back from Louisville. Business Manager Neal of the Colonels was here, and a conference attended by Hickey. Neal and Owner Smith of the Indians was held at the Claypool Hotel. I The subject of debate was the Ellis- ; Rehg-Hamel deal. Verbal combats have | been brewing between Indianapolis and Louisville over the winter trade that | sent Rehg and Hamel to the Colonels i and transferred Ellis to the Indians. | Rehg and Hamel reported to the Col- ; onels. but Ellis failed to join the Tribe. Asa result of the conference Tuesday \ an adjustment of the deal that became ' a misdeal was made, and Rehg was ordered returned to Indianapolis. Owner Smith granted Hamel's services to | Louisville and Hickey decided the I Colonels could have Ellis again if they could induce him to sign. ' It looked like a wise move on Owner Smith’s part when be bid for Rehg's

services. Hamel is not rated Class A A speed and Ellis had rejected all offers made him by the Indians. Rehg will be stationed in left field for the Tribe, which is his favorite position. BAN ON TAYLOR FOR SIX MONTHS Local Commission Bars Fighters and Managers. At a meeting Tuesday night the Indianapolis boxing commission suspended Bud Taylor and Johnny Sheppard, bantamweight boxers, and also put the same bail on Kane, Long and O'Keefe, Chicago fight managers, and their entire string of boxers. The action came as the result of the failure of Taylor and Sheppard to live up to their contract for a bout here on April 3. It was alleged by the American A. C., which made she complaint, that there was a conspiracy between the managers of both Sheppard and Taylor to call off the bout after all arrangements had been made, because Taylor got a chance to meet Genaro. the American flyweight champion, in Chicago. The Taylor-Genaro battle is scheduled for tonight. Ed Steinmetz was appointed as an official referee and will make his first appearance next Monday night
