CLEARED Of
CHARGES
Majority of Police Commits
sion Pronounce Official
Honest and Efficient
MISTAKE EVER TO PUT
HIM IN, SAYS KUHL
Dissenting Member Thinks
Chiefs Office Should Not
Be Training School

Chief OF Police D. A. White was
exonerated by the majority Of the
police commission last night OF
charges of incompetence, in a report
signed by Commissioners Roche. Shu-
mate and Cook Dissenting from the
opinion Of the rest that White is a
good police chief, Commissioner Kuhi
presented a minority report
Conditions in the police department
are all that can be expected, the per-
sonnel OF the force is exceptionally
good and White has discharged his
duties honestly and efficiently. ac-
cordinE TO the majority of the com
mission. Kuhl declares that while
there Is no question as to Whites
honesty, 1t takes something more than
that TO discharge well the Office OF
police chief.
The chief who endeavors to do his
duty must necessarily antagonize
powerful interests. both commercial
and political, who are opposed to re-
strictfons placed upon certain vices"
reads the majority report, and it is
E curious phenomenon that when a
chief of police attempts to suppress
vice he is attacked on other grounds
by persons who profess a high degree
Of righteousness"
The majority. however. mildly cen
sure the chiefs lack OF the utmost
diligence in his work. That was the
only criticism made of White, except
TO say that he was unacquainted with
police affairs when he took Office and
could not be responsible for conditions
at that time.
Incidentally. the report brought out
the fact that former Captain of Detec-
tiyes Eugene Wall viii be placed on
trial and asked to explain the fre-
ouent mention or his name IN the
recent bunko scandals.
Constructive acts for which Chief
White may be credited are named as
the creation of the traffic squad. re-

rnent and the appointment of Captain

lice administration the majority pro-
pose revision of the police manual,

trict WHICH Will include the exposi-
tion grounds, cooperation between

OF the department, and the creation

that charges Will be placed in future

The investigation produced moth
ing to his discredit and confirmed our

On the other hand, Commissioner
Kuhl dissents in the following Ian
guage:
1T is painful to express an opinion
that mistake was made when he
was appointed, and that he himself
made a mistake in accepting the ap-
pointment While, personally, I
would rather have an honest and in

A comely young woman with a
sick husband and family story is
being sought by the authorities of
San Leandro and vicinity on sus-
picion of having worked on the feel
ings of kind-hearted women for
large sums Of money. She has been
telling a heart rending story Of des-

philanthropic residents. Several San

To the beginner who really
wishes to make a name for him
self in the professional world
much depends on the start. Such
seemingly Insignificant features as
dress, partners and social activi-
ties play an important part.
The girl who really wishes to
play tennis for all the good she
can get out of the game should
dress accordingly. l always play
IN a loose MILDLY blouse; a short
skirt, full enough around the bot
tom TO prevent tripping; no cor
sets, and a band around the head
to prevent loose hairs from brush
ing into the eyes.
As to racquet, I say get a good
one The requirements for
lady's racquet are: Weight, 13 to
IA ounces, gut of medium thick
ness: size of handle. inches or
little less.
SELECTING PARTNERS
Always select a partner who
plays better game of tennis
than yourself. Watch his plays
and master them; then seek other
worlds to conquer.
Practice should be the byword
of the beginner. When you play
tennis play with your heart and
energy. DO not play until ex-
hausted, however. After the game
take a cold shower and rest a few
minutes.
In learning the game there are
three distinct things TO keep in
mind. First. how to hit the ball.
second. where to hit the ball, and
third, when to hit the ball.
FORM STROKE
In the first are the elements of
good form in stroke, that is, in
hitting the ball In a style that
will produce the best results.
Second. n beginner should strive
for accuracy in "placing" the
ball in his opponents court and
still further to add speed. Strive
from the first day you take
racquet in hand to drive ball at
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-16

such q pace yet with such deadly
accuracy that II can command any
spot In the adversarys court.
Any form of ball playing helps
the beginner to Judge the flight
or a tennis ball through the air,
and to estimate the angle and dis
tance OF it's rebound from the
ground. Perhaps the best way to
practice strokes is against blank
wall.
The ball always comes back to
you. I have always found this
the best method of getting my
eye on the ball when out Of prac-
tice. Go out early every morn
ing and bat balls awhile before
attempting to play balp' and no.
tice the Improvement.
THE NET
In practicing on a regular court
care should be taken not to play
over a net that is either too high
or too low, or a court the size
OF which is not exactly right. II
1t is only a foot or few inches
too long or too narrow it will soon
ruin all accuracy.
The beginner should pay special
attention to the manner In which
he grasps his racquet. One thing
should always be kept in mind
and that is the freedom of the
wrist. The grasp of the racquet
should allow the greatest possible
freedom for the wrist muscles. for
therein lies much OF the success
of the strike.
To avoid cramped position,
hold the racquet firmly near the
end of the handle, so that the
natural forward motion of the
wrist is parallel with the direc-
tion in which the ball is to fly.
STRONG GRIP
Use the full length OF your han
die; the extreme end should rest
against the fleshy part of the
palm. This insures a stronger
grip than IL the end of the ham
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-16

die is allowed to protrude against
the wrist.
For the benefit of the beginners
not yet familiar with the game
/ will describe It in brief. The
server, who is chosen by lot.
opens the game by serving the
ball from behind the baseline,
diagonally over the net into his
opponents service court. = If he
fails to do this, after two trials,
a point is scored for his oppo-
nent, and he repeats his serve in
the other court.
After good ball has been
served. 1T is knocked back and
forth by the players with their
racquets, until one side or the
other scores a point. This can
only be done when the ball Is
driven into the net, out Of the
court, or strikes the court and
falls to the ground twice without
being struck.
A point Is then scored for the
player who made the last good
return. the ball is started again
by the server. The players serve
in alternate courts and change
sides after each game.
When three or four players take
part, the double game is played.
and slightly larger court is used.
The method of scoring is very
simple and is best understood by
actual experience. The points are
scored, love, no point; Is, one
point: 80. two points; 40, three
points; game. four points. Love-
all. 15-all or 30-all is called when
the score is even. At 40-all the
scorse is called deuce" When
either side secures the majority
of two points. II wins the game

TRUST BUSTERS
INNOCENT VICTIMS
Hangers-On '1Work" New
congressman for Purpose
of Depressing Prices
BY VICTOR ELLIOTT

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Despite
all the testimony brought out at the
senate lobby investigation to the eff
feet that resolutions introduced in
the house and senate affecting the
large corporations and big business
frequently were inspired by men who
had interests in Wall street.-the in
ference being that these resolutions
We're introduced to bear" the stock
market or to boost some other prof.
ect engineered by sharpers-the prac-
tice hasn't been discontinued. In fact.
during the last few weeks it has been
worked overtime. New congress men.
who seem to be the most innocent
persons in the world in relation to the
practices of hangers-on about the
capitol, have been the instruments in
the recent cases.
There are. perhaps. about half a
dozen men who literally hang around
the capitol pretty nearly all the time.
Just how they make their living no.
body knows. but they generally rep
resent themselves to be a president
Of a society, association or league.
MEMBER .FALLS FOR TALK"
At an opportune time Mr.. Hanger
on approaches some congressman,
who doesn't understand all the fine
points of the game. and suggests that
a resolution be introduced to investi-
gate a certain trust Information
about the affairs Of large business
concerns is easy to obtain, there are
thousands of congressional docu-
ments. Mr.. Hanger-on has watched
the newspapers carefully and has
read some of these documents. He
therefore, is able to discuss "the sit
uation" with great facility. He can
pose as an expert on trusts. The new
| congressman falls for the wise line
OF talk" and puts in the resolution.
He Is convinced that his informant,
Mr.. Hanger-on. really is giving "in-
side" information and rejoices that
he is able to do his country a noble
and patriotic service.
Five minutes after the resolution is
placed in the basket in the house or
senate the tickers in Wall street are
carrying the information that Rep
resentative Swat the Trusts" has in
troduced a resolution which may
bring to the surface the sore point
in come corporations affairs.
WISE ONES PAY NO HEED
The wise ones in the street paw no
attention to these, but 1t is said there
are some persons who don't under
stand the game, and as a result slight
selling movements are induced. The
more plausible the story sounds the
more likely it is to depress prices.
Only those persons at the capitol
who know what a slight chance anv
| OF these resolutions have Of seeing
the light of day after reaching com
mittee pigeonholes. are fully cogni-
zant of the real meaning of the move
ments.
IF Wall street is fooled by these
tricks, why should we worry?" COM
mented a prominent member Of the
house in discussing the matter.
