Clarence Henley is San Francisco's S
mainstay in the box. He is also the
veteran pitcher of the team and the
tallest and the speediest pitcher in the
league. He's California product and
has pitched most of his life in the
Pacific coast league. though many a
big league aggregation has long been
longing for his services.
Henley was born up in Sacramento,
where his folks still reside. Everybody
in the capital city knows "Slivers" The
governor gives him the Office as he
passes by on the street and so does
every urchin who is old enough to
walk.
Henley gained his early experience
by tossing bricks instead of baseball.
He went to work with his father and
learned the brick laying trade and
while he was learning this he also got
wise to the great art of curving and
hitting a baseball. Now he's earning
his livelihood at the latter trade, al
though he can grab hold of his trowel
and get his six dollars any day he
wants to start spreading the mortar.

Los ANGELES. Oct s-Captain
Wolverton and his ambitious Com

break today in the double header with
Vernon. The Oaks got away with the
first contest nicely. score to 2. but
the second, but a seven inning affair,
was chalked up to the credit of the

Strange as it may appear the Oaks

errors, while in the game they lost
they played errorless ball.
Tyler Christian and Kit Carson were
opposing slabsters in the opener and
Christian. in spite of the many errors
behind him, got away with the victory.
In the second fracas Willis was
pounded 50 hard that Wolverton had to
send slim Nelson In to prevent fur

over for Vernon in good form. The
bright individual star of the day was
Burrell. who made a perfect record
with the stick, getting five safeties and
sacrifice out of six times up.
By agreement the second scrap went
only seven innings, and the Villagers
got away in the lead. Scores:

VOLLEY BALL
A GREAT GAME
Men Work Better at the
Sport When Playing
Outdoors
USE MARKED COURSE
AS PLAYING FIELD

Although volley-ball is a fine game
indoors, it is a better one played in
the open. The court may be OF almost
any size, according to the space that is
available and the number of players:
the regulation size for 2, or 4 on a
side is 25x50 feet. divided by a net
into courts 25 feet square Since the
ball does not have to bounce, the
ground need not be absolutely level;
but there should be no Irregularities
which might cause a stumble The
net should be s feet high at the ends
and feet inches in the center; an
old tennis net may be made TO do
service-or even rope wound with
white cloth and stretched at the proper
height Mark out the court with lime
or with white tapes
The leather ball is round like foot
ball, with a rubber bladder inside. II
should be blown up tightly. The regu-
lation ball weighs not less than 9 nor
more than ~ ounces. and is not less
than 25 nor more than % inches In
circumference. An ordinary Associa-
ton football will do very we'll as
substitute The cardinal principles OF
the game are these The bali must
not touch the ground-unless on the
service-be set out of court or into
the net, or be touched twice in success
sion by any player. although it may
pass from one player to another on
the same side; IL must be batted or
struck only with the hands or fore
arms.
The game is Of 21 points. scored one
at a time on nets. outs or grounded
balls But when the servers side
loses a point. IL loses only the service.
In other words. only the servers side
may score .
Each player OF the side serves in
turn. He stands on the base-line OF
his court, and must serve the ball so
that II goes at least 10 feet, when Il
may be struck by a player on his own
side and helped over" the net. Two
services are allowed as in tennis. and
ball striking the top of the net before
going over is a 'let," and must he
served again. A ball must strike on
or within the lines OF the opposite
court A service which fails is a
fault" and two faults forfeit the SER
vice to the other side. The service
may be taken in the air, or be allowed
TO strike the ground first Catching
or holding the ball loses the point
It is better TO play with both hands
when possible; it gives better accuracy
and more exercise Practice team play
sending the ball 10 the man on your
side who is I'm the best position TO
make a telling return. In teams of
8, 3 should play forward, close to the
net, and back. When there are on
a side, 2 should play back and for.
ward; in team of 3. they may al
/ play midway in the court, or with ont
forward and two back.
The game has been called "the sur
cure for blues" and there is a won
derful amount of fun and exercise &
it. Asmost Of the playing is don
overhead, the game-is especially bene
fetal in strengthening and expandin
the chest.
