to rise. This requires good Judgment
as to the probable action of the ball,
for il the sphere starts to rise in the
direction of its flight the trap is easy,
but if the ball, by reason Of lateral
spin or striking a tuft or other OBJ
struction, has its course DETECTED then,
unless the player has jammed his foot
on the ball just as it hits the ground, he
is very apt to lose it.
The same judgment is required to an
even greater degree in trapping by the
other two methods. For in the second
method, if the ball is allowed to rise
and is DETECTED by reason of the spin
or a tuft. the player Is likely to find
that the ball has passed over his foot
or between his legs il they are set too
widely apart. Here again judgment il
required to trap the ball just as it
strikes the ground and before it can
rise.
The first method of trapping is used
by a halfback in receiving a long kick
intending to receive the ball on his head
and defect it. misses it and the ball,
passing over his head, hits the ground
and bounces, the bounce being received
by the half and the ball sent to one Of
his own forwards. The advantage of
getting possession of the ball in this
manner is obvious. All the advantage
is with the trapper and the player who
missed the ball is completely out of play
temporarily.
All methods Of trapping require the
player to have himself nicely balanced
on one foot, for If, say in the third
method, he tries to put his weight on
the ball he not only places himself at n
disadvantage, but is apt to be thrown.
In any event he will require 80 much
time TO steady himself that a quick
opponent can easily charge him over.
To acquire the balance necessary it
is we'll for the player to practice what
is called the balance STEP All play
ers who have been in the army know
how this is done. 1t can be acquired
by standing on one foot, with the body
upright and the chest expanded, and
swinging the other leg through an arc,
the toe being kept down during the
entire swing.
1t is well for the budding player to
acquire his balance with the heel of the
foot on the ground slightly raised. To
the player who can stand on the ball
and toes of one foot and swing the other
leg with freedom greater ease in play
ing will be manifest.
On Their Toes
In all three methods of trapping the
player stands with the heels elevated
the weight resting on the soles Of the
feet. AS matter of fact the real player
during play never has his heels on tho
ground. tkfsh
j | wish to emphasize the necessity fol
the player to exercise judgment in
positioning the body and the timing tn,
foot and body action in connecting will
the ball. The only way this can be dom
Is by constant and assiduous practice
1t is well also to have the body inclined
slightly forward so as to have the weigh
in such position that it can easily b,
exerted in getting rid of the ball aftel
1t is trapped.

CONVERSATIONAL CURRENCY
FLOWS IN CHICAGO AS MOGULS
SEEK PLAYERS. NOT FOR SALE
BY ROBERT w. MAXWELL
Sports Editor Evening Public Ledger

CONVERSATIONAL currency, which is a way of say
~ ing legal tender in baseball circles will be spilled all
Chicago this week. Magnates from all points in the
American and National Leagues will gather in joint
meeting and endeavor outalk each other Those with
the strongest voices will win.
The big idea is to together closely talk things
with the judge and try to frame up agreement which
will be effective and govern everything until important
up Mr. Lands will be given full power and
will be very thankful. He will have a lot to say
untias said beforean important decision has to be
made In everyday life the judge listens to both sides of
the renders the verdict and has the courtroom
swept out for the next There Is n squawk
from either side because isn't being done these days
In baseball however, 1t is different. There never is
winner and loser Certainly not There must be two
winners the magnates won't play. For example, take
the Scott Perry Scott working for AS and
claimed by Boston. The National Commission upheld
George Stalngs' claim which is slang for coping the
Connie kept the player and still has him. Now he doesn't
know what to do with him. Anyway, Connie and Stall
ings both and nobody lost.
Therefore, Judge Lands will enjoy his job until he
starts working at it. But that's looking into the future
and the future has a habit of taking Of itself.
While the judge is being handed the soft stuff the
magnates will make in the corridors of the hotel
vocally and otherwise Many startling deals will be dis
cussed. Star players will be sought and the magnate
who speaks in Of less than 500 900 will be fired
from the union. John McGraw is the job with bank

 IN OHIO DOING
 BIG BUSINESS
By International News servicc)

CLEVELAND. Sept 9. - Twelve Cleveland manufacturing concerns have been practically put out of busi- ness recently by federal officials charged with enforcement of the Vol stead act, but before this was done they made profits of more than $11,- 100000 in the illicit sale of alcohol to the bootlegging trade of Northern Ohio, according to a statement by w. A. Weygandt, federal prohibition agent in charge of inspection among and physicians
 These twelve concerns, according to Weygrandt, did a business that would make a western land office in the days of the dirt" craze envious and the profits they charged on their stuff would make Captain Kidd or any of the pirates of an older and more moderate day turn in their graves
 At least 90OO0 gallons of alcohol
 
 manufacturers of hair tonic" or "flavoring extract" paid s6 per gallon, ultimately found its way down the dusty throat of some bootlegger's GUS toner at fifty cents per gulp, showing the tidy margin between manufactur CTS cost and the price paid by the consumer of s11,0O0,O00.
 Activities of the enforcement branch of the federal and state gov ernments have not tended to discour- age the activities of manufacturers, Weygandt says. One man wants to start a "flavoring extract" plant and has an application pending for a per init to buy alcohol fin carload lots.
 "I do things on a big scale" he ex- plains. with an airy wave of the hand. Don't get the idea than I'm a piker.
 This carload shipment would not run his plant" a year or month. when he gets going good. 'I eX- pect to use at least carload week" he told the inspector.
 Among the methods used by some of these manufacturers to escape de tcction was the sending broadcast to druggists and others of receipted invoices" acknowledging payment for goods never ordered and never received. Retail pharmacists all over northern Ohio have received these bogus invoices" it was said
 One concern, which is reputed to have made a profit of one million dollars last year. shipped 442 gallons of hair tonic" in one month to a town boasting a population of 5000. There was enough "tonic" in that burg to use well toward a pint on the head of every man, woman and child in the town.
 Not all manufacturers of harbers supplies and flavoring extracts are engaged in the illicit trade" Wey- i grandt said. Many of them are doing a legitimate business. but this | has been one of the loopholes most i frequently and profitably used by those seeking fortune if not fame through the breaking of the prohibi- | tion laws'
