U. s. NET TEAM
 WILL BE WEAK

NEW YORK. March 12.-The self ruled elimination of William T. Tilden from the American Olympic team has produced consternation among the thousands of tennis fans who looked upon the national champion as Amer ica's best bet for world net supremacy.
 Tilden's move was not unexpected by members of the Olympic committee.
 Further dismay developed when it was learned that the decision of the committee to bar participants in the world games from contributing articles for publication while abroad might be accepted by Vincent Richards as elim- mating him.
 William M. Johnston, another of Americas net luminaries, has decided not to accompany the American team, and it is believed that his decision will not be recensidered. Accordingly, 1t ap- pears that Norris Williams may be the only available candidate from the first four of Americas court masters

JACK ANXIOUS
 TO HIT FIRPO

CHICAGO, March 12.-When Jack Dempsey fights again, some time next fall-perhaps-he wants his opponent to be Luis Angel Firpo, who knocked him out of the ring at their last joust.
 Spending a few minutes in Chicago before catching a train for California, Jack let this bit of information slip.
 The next time Firpo and meet he will not knock me out of the ring, and l will finish him off quickly" Demp- sey said. "All that I want is a chance to show him he can't do what he did before. That's why I want to meet him again."
 The heavyweight champion was rather vague about just when he eX- pected to fight again, and confessed that he didn't know. He said his movie contracts would keep him busy for the next three or four months. Dempsey was pale under his tan and seemed tired. He explained that he did not feel "just right" having been operated upon recently for the removal of fis- tula.

 Socketing is mostly caused by being of impact. You will find your weight off-balance at top of swing at moment too much on your toes, causng you to too much on your toes, causing you to lean too much toward the ball This will make your arms extend out past ball. To begin with, balance your weight back on your heels. Let yourself settle down a little more, with knees slightly bent. Make yourself feel as though you were ready to sit down. Then on your back swing see that your weight is kept on your left foot, with the rest of the weight thrown on the right heel. At the moment of impact, be sure that the weight is thrown back on the left heel. The follow-through is only matter of course. In keeping your weight on the heels, it is impossible to reach out too far for the ball, providing your arms are fully extended in addressing the ball.

Sowing Suspicion Among Workers
 Best Method of Destroying Unity
By ANDREW FURUSETH

The cement that held workers to- gether in the past was mutual conf dence-mutual aid. If that can be destroyed, workers are helpless. If some one can inculcate in the work CTS a belief that sacrifice is decep- ton, that all men without exception are governed by self-interest and neither can nor will be faithful to anything else, then combinations for mutual aid and protection are made impossible.
 This has become thoroughly recog- nized. The modern way of fighting the workers is to send men in among them to destroy confidence and faith. The question now is not to break strikes. The question is ho wto pre- vent them.
 To kill the possible, the impossible must be urged, and sane men W tn sane thoughts must be discredited. When any req lstruggle can not be prevented, then the hot-bloods must be led into such actions as to for

 What's more, there is littel indica- ton that Congress will cease orating, even though one member, Representa- tive Bankhead of Alabama, declared in the House that This Congress has been in session since the 3rd of De- cember and we have transacted prac- tically no public business"

RAIL LAW AIDS WASTE NO CHECK
 ON COSTS

Washington, Feb. 2.-The recapture clause of the transportation act en- courageS eXtraVagances and padded expense accounts by the prosperous roads.
 This Is the belief of Senator Cap per on that section of the transporta- tion act which provides that where a railroad earns more than 6 per cent profit, one-half shall be turned over to the interstate commerce commission to aid weaker roads.
 The Kansas senator declared that the total profits of all roads last year would pay dividend of 10 per cent on the aggregate capital stock of all the railroads in the United States.
 "The profits of class I roads for the first eight months of this year were approximately $8o, ,ooo greater than that received on rental during government control" said Senator Capper. "This seems to be the an swer to the railroads statement that they can not reduced transportation charges and live.
 Rates are arbitrarily fixed by the commission to bring a return of 5A per cent. on the reproduction value of every transportation line, whether or not the investment was prudently made or the property efficiently man aged. That is why the public often regards section 15a as a guaranty to the railroads, although 1t does not. as matter of fact, directly guaran- tee anything to the carriers. We are demanding the repeal of this section I5a because rates are determined with regard to the ability of badly or ganized or located or capitalized or managed roads to earn profit on an investment the. proper calculation of which is in dispute, thereby establish ing rates that earn excessive profits on we'll organized systems.
 Roads whish should not have been built, and others which always have lost money for their owners, are giv- en value two or three times their actual worth. No account is taken of or bad investment Roads which are grossly mismanaged are put on the same basis as the eff ciently managed property. The strong carriers make the necessities of the weak carriers the justification for talk ing more from the public than the public should be compelled to pay"

PRINTERS GET
 INTO BALL GAME
 FOR HERMAN CUP
Typos Go Into Sern:-Pro. Class in Midwest and Promise
 Big Things.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. o.-Interest in sem1-professiona baseball may be en- hances somewhat next year by the en- trance to the lists of the International Typographical League champions, ac- cording to John M. Dugan, an auditor of the International union with head quarters here and leader of serni-pro- baseball in the Cincinnati district. Ad- mission of the league champions has been approved by the National Baseball Federation and awaits only approval of the league commission.
 Each year the printers legue holds a seven-day tournament for teams of four teen large cities of the United States and Canada The contest is for a beau tiful trophy offered by Garry Hermann, Cincinnati big league magnate and ex- printer. Boston won the first Hermann trophy, winning the largest number of games in fourteen years of play. Last year new trophy-crossed bats (life slze) with pitcher and catcher at base, all 1n silver-was set up by MT. Her mann. The Washingon, D. C., team laid the beginning of a claim to the prize by winning the tournament in New York last year.
 Next year the tournament will be held in one of the big league parks in hCi- cago, the date to be determined later The annual occasion has become a pop ular vacation season for printers throughout the United States and Cana da. Parties, banquets and picnics are arranged by craftsmen of the host city and thousands of rooters follow the va rious teams.
 Printers seem to take naturally to baseball and international union leaders have been pleased to encourage this in terest as a splndid health measure for indoor workers" said M. Dugan. "The champions next year, 1t Is hoped, will have rowing schedule under the base ball federation and will visit as many cities as seems feasible"'

No previous knowledge is required of the man who would be- come a member, and no previous knowledge of the work to be done is needed by him. He is admitted. No one needs to know and vouch for him.

 Grammar" writes the New Haven printer, "is no doubt splendid auxil- 1ary to straight composition. but if you look beyond the mere line and conceive of the beauties of design, spacing, the chiaro-oscuro of the pie turing of types in typographical dis play, the creation of type faces, orna- ments and those one hundred and one others things the typographer cons d. CTS, either instinctively or by long training in his art, grammar repre- sents only the fringe of the curtain
 Do any of these apprentice boys know that there is certain letter in the alphabet that is cut smaller than all the rest above and below the cen ter of the line? Do they know that another letter, while { of the lower case. will look like a capital if placed on the capital line? Why blue looks different in shade on different grades of paper? The task that confronts apprentices includes study of punctua- tio1l, capitalization, elements of de- sign and many other subjects as we'll IS grammar"
