This is the report in circulation here
Dunn has been working the men out
for the last two weeks, and he has
been able to get a correct line on those
who are essaying the team. He has
eight good men, and he will get to-
gether a team that will represent the
city as it should be represented. He
has a good staff of pitchers-young
men who are giving every promise OF
developing into classy players. In
the receiving department he is not as
strong as he would like to be.
With the coming Of several of the
major league managers to this city
Dunn has had a chance to talk busi-
ness with the management, and it is
believed that when the time comes for
the cutting down of the big teams he
will get the pick of men to be turned
loose
Dunn has not hesitated to drive the
men hard since they reported for
duty. Some of them have been very
slow in rounding into any sort of form
Others have failed to indicate that
they are more than bushers. Before a
month has passed following the open
ing of the season there will be at least
eight new men on the team. Just who
will get the gate is not known, but
Dunn is watching the men at every
stage and is keeping his own counsel.

ATTACK DRY RULING

Express Company Briefs Filed in
United States Supreme Court in
Personal Use Litigation.

Briefs were filed in the Supreme
Court yesterday in a case to determine
the constitutionality of the Webb-Ken-
yon law, applying to liquor shipments
from wet" to dry" territory, as inter
preted by the Kentucky state courts
which held that it prohibited such
shipments for personal use as distin-
guished from sale
The Adams Express Company. on ap-
neal. contends that the law is uncon-
stitutional if it has such an applica-
ton.
I'VE contend. says the brief for the
company. that the Webb-kenyon law
does not authorize a state to interfere
with interstate shipments for personal

LAWN TENNIS REQUISITES.
Mental and Physical Fitness Essen
tial to Make a Good PLAYER.

The basic requisites in the makeup
Of lawn tennis player may be divided
into two classes. First, physical Mt
ness: second, mental fitness. Under the
head of physical fitness. the first es-
sential is that the successful tennis
player must be strong-not abnormally
so, but possessing the stamina to en-
able him to pursue his opponents snots
to every section of the court through
out from one to three hours of grilling
play, and also the strength to deliver
the punch when necessary and impart
sufficient pace to the ball to get sting
into his shots. Stamina is essential.
that the brain may work at top etfi-
cheney. for when one flags physically in
a tennis match the brain frets at the
physical shortcomings and as II conse-
uuence is unable to fulfill its regular
functions efficiently. This causes the
PLAYER to use poor tactics and to make
many costly mistakes in Judgment.

racquet and ball at the moment of
transference of weight. When the con-
centrated weight reaches the forward
leg the racquet follows evenly, though
in an intended direction of placement,
and this completes the stroke The
principles are the same on both fore
and back hand strokes up to this point:
In the forehand stroke, right-handed
player. as the ball leaves the racquet
and the bats swing leaves its foiloW
through course. the left hand shoulo
be ready to grasp the racquet and arrest
its fight to prevent the further con
tinuation Of it's swing from throwing
the player off his balance. This also
expedites the proper and necessary
preliminarieS to the next stroke
In the case of backhand stroke and
the racquet is swinging away from the
left hand. it is manifestly impossible
to use it to prevent the UNNECESSARY
flight, as in the case of the forehand
stroke In this case, as the swing IS
made and the weight is transferred
from the rear to the extended foot, the
left arm should be thrown in the oppo-
site direction to the flight of the rae

LAST WEEKS BASEBALL NEWS

Sunday the Blackfoot baseball
team, which defeated the Pocatello In
dams week ago, came to this city
i" loaded' to play the Idaho Falls club
Rue to a Misunderstanding between
the managers, the game was not ad-
vertised and the local boys did not
know that the game would be played
until the Grove City team arrived in
cars at 2:3O in the afternoon. The
Idaho Falls team got together in a
hurry and the game was staged before
the small crowd which had heard of
the contest. Let us pause to say that
those who were not fortunate enough
ito be at the grounds yesterday missed
one of the best games of the season.
The score was tied throughout most
of the game. Up until the sixth frame
the count stood 3 to 3, and in the visi
tors half of the sixth they put a run
across, which the locals evened up in
their share of the same stanza. The
score then stood 4 to until two were
gone in the last half of the sixth.
Harry Changnon had doubled to right
and advanced to third on short
passed ball. Eph Seaton was at the
plate with two strikes on him when
he hit fast one through short, on
which Changnon romped home and the
eternal Ephraim kicked the first bag
with wide smile on his face and
trotted toward the bench. The ninth
inning finish was the elimination of a
contest which had been thrilling from
the first inning.
The contest was pitchers battle
from the gong, and the twirling of
Rube Turner for the local club was a
surprise to the crowd, and his curve
bafflea the heavy hitters of the Black
foot team and Moorehead and the i'm
ported Pocatello players swung at his
fast ball without effect. Hungary, the
big Indian from the California league,
who has won every game since he ar
rived in Blackfoot, was also working
in his best vein and struck out twelve
of the Idaho Falls batters with his
hopping spitball.
Blackfoot counted one in the first
inning. DeKay struck out and West
followed with a clean double to left
and took third on the THROWN, scoring
q moment later on Moorehead's infield
out. In the second inning the home
team got the run back and one more
to go on when Milt Peers, the new
shOrtstop, cracked liner over second
which scored Changnon and Larsen.
who were waiting ON second and third
base, respectively. In the first half of
the third the Blackfoot team put two
across and the home guards
again tied the argument in the latter
portion of the same frame.
