RICHARDS STEPS
 TOWARD THE TOP
Youthful Tennis Star Likely to
 Achieve Ambition
By Tho Associated Press.

By Tho Associated Prose.
 New York, March 3.-Until last seasons stirring campaign, 'the ex- perts who had been predicting an- nually that Vincent Richards would break through 10 the top of the tennis heap had little real cause for satisfaction. In fact conviction had become pretty well grounded that this. blond haired, flashing youth would never reach the ul- timate peak, but as though catching his second wind, Richards leaped forward in 1924 with such startling strides that he dislodged Little Bill" Johnston from the No. rank ing position and came perilously close to toppling Big Bill' 1ilden in the national championship singles.
 There remained no doubt in the minds of observers at the close Of last season that Richards had lar rived" This year, with the natural expectation of further improvement in his game, he stands out as the one player having the best chance of threatening Tildens five-year reign.
 Observers here do not overlook the possibility of a comeback by Johnston, who forms the remaining link of Americas Big Three" but the Californian has passed his peak while Richards, young, ambitious and confident, ,5is on the upgrade.
 Undertaking in 1924 the heaviest campaign he had attempted, Rich ards came through with colors fly ing. He was defeated by Jean Boro- tra, French star and the ultimate victor, in the Wimbledon cham i pionships but captured the Olympic singles crown from notable field at Paris and also took the doubles title, paired with Frank Hunter.
 Returning to this country, Rich ards rose to great heights in the national singles at Forest Hills, where he fought Tilden 10 a stand still in a flve-set thriller that sup piled the tournaments real climax, inasmuch as the champion in his next and final match easily con- uuered Johnston. 4 week later, Richards smotkered Johnston, his old nemesis, with surprising ease in the cast-west matches. He put the crowning touch to his campaign when, selected for the first time for the Davis Cup singles, he conquered Patterson and O'Hara Wood, the Australian stars.
 Much of Richards improvement last season was due to development of a stronger service and the addi- ton of weight which increased his power and endurance. These were the factors he most needed 10 rein force the versatility he had acquired as protege of Tilden.
 Most of Richards meteoric prog ress has been linked with the infu' ence of the present national cham pion. His first national triumph came in 1917 when, as a youth oi IA, he won the boys championship A year later he startled the tennis world by winning the national turi court doubles with Tildcn, q victory which was repeated fin 1921 anG 1922. In 1919, Richards defeated his mentor to win the national in door title. He has held the sam' title over the past two years.

Some Famed Utility Stars

THERE have beer some famous
l. utility stars in the majors. They
have stayed long time in the big
show because Of this ability to step
In and plug up weakness or va.
cancy on their clubs.
Remember Hal Janvrin. who
was with Seattle n short time In
1923? Janvrin never made the
grade rs big league regular.
but he was carried In the big
show for 10 years because he
could play any infield position in
n pinch.
They say that ArtIe Hoffman. OF
the Chicago Cubs Of is0s-o7.0s when
the Bruins were in their prime. was
the king OF them ALL
And then there Is Mike Nc.
NaIly. now with Washington,
who is carried solely because Of
this versatile knack.
The old adsge is that chair IL
only as strong as Its weakest link
and II works the same in baseball, a
team being only as strong az It's
reserves. You can never tell when q
star player will be forced 20 the side
lines by injuries. and unless there Is
a capable man on the bench ready &c
step in and fill the breach until the
star Is ready. II may cost enough bal
games to knock the team out OF tn,
running.

Behind the
Home Plate
BY LEO II LASSEN

CANTA MARIA. Cal,
y March 27.-There is an
odd specie of ball players
rapable of filling in at nearly
any position on the diamond,
but if played at any one spot
for a long time there is some
weakness in their playing and
they can't make the grade rs
regulars.
Three of the most unusual
utility men that the Coast
league has ever had are in this
company now.
Ed Hemingway Is IN class by
himself when Il comes TO filling In
for any OF the inflelders The Yer
non veteran Is best al third base. but
he can take care OF shortstop, second
base or first base with SKIN. The
Vernon veteran is good offensive
man TO boot and can run the sacks
In fact he is rated as one OF the best
hase-runners In this league.
Les Shechan. the Salt Lake
slugger. Il another handy man.
. sheehan can play any infield OF
outfield position. altho chances
are that he will play regularly
this year in the outfleld because
the Bees need his hitting.
Another remarkable man for all.
around ability is Bob sehang OF Sac.
Iamento. Sehang is a good catcher
and can play third base In the out.
field. The Solons are using him regu.
larry at third base, lie can play that
bag. but is hardly good enough for
regular duty there. Schang can get
away with II In a pinch.
Schang. like Hemingway, Is
good baserunner and Is one Of
the few men who have done lot
OF catching that can steal bases.
