ICE AND GALES AGAIN
BATTLE SHACKLETON
Unable to Reach Elephant Island,
Where Twenty-Five Men Are
Marooned.

LONDON, August 5.-Lieut Sir Err
nest Shackleton has failed again to
rescue the main body of his antarctic
expedition left on Elephant Island, says
the Daily Chronicle. and has returned
to the Falkland Islands.
Sir Ernest returned on board the
steamer Emma, says a Reuter- dispatch
from Port Stanley. The ship was forced
back by heavy gales and ice, and it
was found impossible to get near Ele-
phant Island through the pack ice The
ship was battered, the engines were in
jured and the Emma was obliged to
proceed under sail.
Sir Ernest, the correspondent adds
recognizes that it is useless to attempt
to force passage with a light ship,
and he is waiting for the steamer Dis
covery to come from England
Sir Ernest, in a dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle, says it will be necessary to
wait for the weather in the south to
moderate before making anothet effort
to take off the marooned men from Ele-
phant Island. The schooner Emma ran
into pack ice 100 miles from Elephant
Island but was too light to make her
way through it. Ice tore away the bob
stay of the vessel. and the engines be-
came useless through the clogging of
the intake water pipes. After this the
Emma had to be driven by sail. and in
the rough weather encountered she be-
came coated with ice.

No. 1.-The Volley.

I consider the volley a most impor-
tant adjunct to the ground game. but
do not rate it with the drives l de-
pend on the ground strokes and only
come in to volley when a good oppor-
tunity offers.
The volley is a time-savins stroke,
because the ball is taken in full flight
but it is not of much use unless you
can place it as you would any other
return And it takes quick thinking
and quick muscles to volley to posi-
tion.
The principles of the volley are com
paratively simple. Take the ball as
close to the net as possible. hit down
and deep into the court. 1t is mani
testify easier to send the ball to a def
mite place in the opponents court
if you meet it when high in the air and
near to the net; such a position prac-
tically eliminates the net from con-
sideration and your only problem is
to strike down to any point you fancy.
The volley must be deep or you lose
the advantage of the quick return ana
give your opponent ample time to get
il on the bounce
The treatment of volley depends
upon the amount of time you have and
the height of the ball. In the case of
A high ball-anything shoulder high
which you can see in fighr-hit with
sharp stroke. The lower arriving balls
are not hit. but are sort of pushed the
force of the push depending upon the
speed of the ball; very swift ball
will go back of its own force.
In the case of low volley. do not be
afraid to bend over: take the ball with
a horizontal racket; 1T is very hard to
make such a low ball clear the net if
the racket is vertical; it is best to
have the head Of the racket above
the wrist.
The half volley is kind of pickup
and I have never known any one to
execute half vOlley with certainty;
it is necessary to gauge the flight Of
the ball most accurately. and have your
racket at the place the ball will pitch
In every volley the racket must be
held firmly and the ball should always
be taken when level with the body-do
not reach for 1t. At close quarters,
when you cannot accurately judge the
ball. simply put the racket where you
think the ball viii be and let it bound
back by it's own force.

the Marines in contest In which

the series will result in tie, because the
Marines and Agriculture are each half a

clubs will tie Treasury for first honors in
the second half of the schedule.
Notwithstanding that the Marines and
Agriculture have been playing good ball
in the last half Of the season, the close
followers of the league think Treasury will
win. II 1t fails to capture the long end
Of the score this afternoon, it will still
have big advantage in that either Agri-
culture or the Marines would have to beat

right around and capture another series
