VANCE SPRINGS
 NEW BOX THEORY

NEW YORK, June 27.-Tha first thing told rookie hurler in join ing a major league ball club is to work on the corners of that plate. Dazzy Vance, the big blond right handler of the Brooklyn Dodgers, now comes up with some added advice.
 Vance claims there's a time when it's best to stick the ball right down the middle" all during game. That's when a pitcher is working in the band-box park at Philadelphia or the Polo Grounds, New York.
 Elementary pitching rules de- mand that the fast ball be thrown high and inside, and the curve low and to the outside" Vance said, but that doesn't hold for the Polo Grounds or the Phillies' park.
 Catch the corner and the batter is apt to drive one down the line over those short fences. My aim in those parks is to shoot right down the middle, high and then low, but always down the middle so the centerfielder will have the chance at a ball that's smacked Squarely on the nose"

ELKS AND VETS TANCIE SUNDAY
 IN FIRST GAME
City League Clubs Of in Battle for Second
 Half Honors

With every club in the circuit materially stronger than when the season opened, and as evenly matched as possible, the City League opens the second half of the 1881 schedule Sunday after noon. The Elks and American Legion outfits draw the opening assignment, the game starting at 5:30 o'clock.
 The Elks won the first half with two full games to spare, winning eight and losing four; with the Moose second, six each won and lost; and the Vets in the cellar, eight lost and four won. But these positions do not represent the rela- tive strength of the clubs today. The Vets are playing as good ball as any of the clubs and with Mo Laughlin and Keaton as first string hurlers and Koski and Lowe in relief men, their mound staff is the equal of that of either of the other two clubs.
 The second half of the season should bring out the prettiest and closest race for first place in the Leagues history. Any of the out fits can win. the club getting the best breaks probably will.
 In tomorrow's game, the Elks probably will use Junge to pitch with Bob Keaton heaving for the Vets.
