The Interpretation OF the Chinese

theme for screen plays. but It is seen
n an entirely new light In "Shad-

by B.sP. schulberg, which starts It's

The picture is based on Wilbur
Daniel Steele's prize story "Ching.
Ching, Chinaman." which was ac-
claimed as one OF the greatest stories
of 1917. 1t tells Of Yen Sin, China
man, who drifts out OF storm at sea

HARTWIG RETURNS
FROM HAWAII TRIP

o. r. Hartwig, president of the Ore
con State Federation of Labor, has
returned home after several weeks
spent on the Hawaiian islands as a
member of a commission sent there
by President Harding.
That the purpose of the mission was
to study labor conditions is evident
by the personnel of the commission,
five prominent labor union officials
and representative of the depart
ment of labor comprising the group.
Hartwig left for Washington, D. c.,
last Monday, where he will probably
report to high government officials.
When he returns he will no doubt
make report to union labor of that
state on conditions as he found them
on the islands of the Pacific.

The Culinary Workers of Astoria
are right on the job organizing the
restaurants as rapidly as they are
opened for business, following the
disastrous fire of few weeks ago.
Several local unions of Astoria lost
all or part of their records and office
equipment. The Building Laborers,
though their hall burned, saved all
records and supplies. The Painters
saved their charter and some records.
The Electrical Workers lost their
charter and all their supplies. but

LONG DISTANCE HITS.

New York, April 1O.-It is a great
puzzle to some scorers as to what they
should do on long distance hits. They
are never certain as to whether they
should give the batter a two-bagger OF
the fielder an error and the batter
base hit.
Sometimes they are disturbed as to
whether they should give the batter
n home-run or the fielder an error
and the batter a three-bagger.
Some are quite the other way: They
are for giving the batter all that he
gets whether the fielder handles the
ball well or not. If the batter should
hit for three bases and the fielder
should pnlpably mishandle the ball
they would give the batter a home
run.
There is only one thing to do with
the long distance hit. Use the best pos
sible judgment. That seems like tame
advice but it is the best that can be
given. However, in using personal
Judgment on hits of this character,
do not forget to Keep in mind that
which has been said before in refer
ence to giving the batter the benefit
of the. doubt. If there is any uncer-
tainty as to whether the fielder could
have handled the ball better than he
did. let the batter have the benefit
of it and add the base to his hit.
There is q good reason for this,
The outfield on almost all grounds is
by no means in as good condition as
the infield. 1t is the extremely rare
exception to find an outfield on which
the ball bounds perfectly and rolls in
n straight line and with uniformity.
The ball will start well and strike
some small obstruction which viii
throw it TO one side. and. in the long
run which the outfielder has to make
for the ball. il is often thrown so far
to one side that there is no possible
way for him to get up to it. Yet there
are scorers who are inclined to record
this as an error because the outfielder
was "too slow" 1t is not good scoring.
The scorer is not in position TO know
what speed the outfielder was using
and he almost certainly cannot es-
innate well Mt what speed the ball was
travelling. That is fully MS important
as the other consideration.
Be sure that when a fielder is
charged with fumbline the ball he ac-
tually fumbles il. When fielder is
going on n dead run and reaches down
and 10 one side to try to stop
ground hit that is just making time
after IL has been driven on line by
hard batter. the fielder is not to be
charged with nm error because he fails
10 get the ball. Not a bit Of it. Give
him credit for going after il. Some
flelders would not take the t-ounble
to bend over to try TO grasp the ball.
There is rule about giving extra
hits to bafters when the winning run

Savannah. g., April 10.-In a
deposition here Monday in connection
with his $4,000 suit against Charles
Comiskey, owner of the Chicago Amer
lean League club, Joe Jackson, out
fielder on the White Sox 1914 team,
admitted he received $4,000 as his
share of the large amount alleged to
have been paid by gamblers TO certain
members of the team for Throwing
the world series, according to- George
b. Hudnall. White Sox attorney, who
participated in the hearing. Mrs.
Jackson, according to the attorney,

FLOYD JOHNSON HAS
TAKEN OVER HOTEL
FOR HIS TRAINING
And Money Taken in at
Workouts Goesto
Wounded Soldiers.
BY FAIRPLAY.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, April f0.-A company
of Floyd Johnson's friends and back
ers went down to Long Beach today
to look over the training quarters that
the Iowan's manager, Cook. has select
ed for his protege in preparing for the
jess Willard bout May ~.
Nothing slow about Charley Cook,
He has taken over hotel not a stones
throw from the Board Walk. 1t is not
a big hotel, to be sure, but it is big
enough to be hotel. Lonch Beach. it
might be said. is % miles from New
York. an island in the sea just below
Rockaway. There is n beach ten miles
long. hard sand and all sorts of oppor-
tunities for outdoor work.
The first idea was to train at Sara
toga, but Johnson's friends decreed
this was too far from the Bowery and
sc the shift was made. A tent will be
erected outside the hotel, The Belmont,
and here it is intended to charge a few
cents admission to all workout bouts.
Avoiding the precedent set by Jack
Kearns at Atlantic City, neither John
son nor Cook will take any of the
money earned; it will be devoted to
the cause of our wounded soldiers.
Nothing the matter with that idea, is
there?
Something of Floyd Johnson's atti-
tude toward this fight game may be
set forth and it will explain among
other things his signing for the Fred
Fulton bout called off by the New
York commission. Floyd loves to fight,
according to those who are lose to
him. and he does not enjoy one-sided
battles. He has the supremest sort of
confidence in his ability TO beat any
one this side of Dempsey and never
thinks Of defeat.
OF course, it remains to be seen
how the New Jersey officials will take
the New York decree ordering Johnson
to cancel the Fulton scrap. 1t is to be
hoped the Jerseyites will fall into line
and set date after the May II John
SON Willard affair.

that apply to all strokes in tennis and
Of these the drive has its full share.
In order to reach ball that is a
short distance away, advance the
foot that is away from the shot and
thus swing into position. When one
is hurried and it is not possible to
change the foot position, throw the
weight on the foot closest to the
ball
The forehand drive is made up of
one continuous swing of the entire
racquet. Always remember that all
drives should be topped. The slice
shot is n totally different stroke.
All drives should be made with
stiff locked wrist. There is no wrist
movement in true drive. Top spin
is put into the drive by the arm, not
the wrist.

MORE MEETS IN U. S.
Olympic Delegates i'm Favor OF Games
in America Oftener.

Rome, April 1O.-When William
May Garland Of Los Angeles, a mem
Der of the American Olympic commit
tee, requested that Los Angeles, Cal,
receive The honor of holding the 1923
Olympic games and declared that the
welcome of all the United States was
contained in his invitation, the inter
national committee unanimously and
without discussion voted acquiescence.
The number of nations represented at
the session aggregated 40. There was
large attendance from South Ameri-
ca, Japan and China.
The members of the international
committee are beginning TO lean in
creasingly to the idea that the United
States is entitled to recognition re-
garding the site for each alternate set
of games. 1t was pointed out by some
of the delegates that the United States
is probably the greatest athletic ma
ton in the world and most easily
accessible, and, therefore, entitled TO
more frequent patronage by the inter
national committee.
During the session the delegates ex-
pressed regret that the United States
could not be awarded the 1928 games,
but it was explained that Amsterdam
for twelve years had been promised
the games and that in the years fol.
lowing the war the Dutch city had
stepped aside and given the honor to
Belgium and France, the two ma
tons which suffered most in the war.
Mr.. Garland. addressing the meet
ing. said the United States fully rec
ognized all the factors entering into
the choice of Amsterdam as the seat
of the 1928 games and gracefully ac-
cepted the situation.
The French delegates presented their
plans for the 1924 games. These are
to be held in the Colonies Stadium
near Paris, which is TO be enlarged
so as TO accommodate 10000 specta-
tors. The French plans include the
construction of vast training vii
lage. in which separate villas, all with
modern conveniences, such as hot and
cold baths and massage rooms, are tC
be allotted to each nation. Each ma
tionality will be provided with cooks
for their native dishes - that they
may live as is their custom without
the necessity Of adjusting themselye:
