The HAle.Volley

The hali-volley is one of the most tempting strokes in the game, but one which I would hesitate to rec. ommend to anyone but an expert. Many young players use the halts Vollsy when 1t is scarcely necessary to do 30, but the difncultN and risk involved in making the stroke soon becomes evident, and unless . plays CT is afforded on opportunity to learn the stroke under the guidance ot Q competent instructor, I would strongly urge that the stroke be ig. nor0d by the average player.
 The half.volley can scarcely

 lng more than six inches befere
 being hlt
 Unlike other volleyed strokes, the half.volley carries top-spin, and may be hit with considerable force, It Is played on the forehand and hackhand with the feet and the body In tho same position as for ordinary ground -strokes. The knees should be bent and the body bent forward at the waist, in order that one can get down low over the ball. The back swing end follow. w.through is iden- teal to that of ell other ground. strokes, the racket-face being flat as 1t contacts the ball, then turn. ing over slightly during the follow through. A long follow.through Is required when playing this stroke, and in order to do this the body weight must be shifted onto the for- ward foot as the stroke is com. pleted.
 Whenever possible it is much safer to step into Q low ball and volley 1t out of the air, than to attempt a half-volley, as this stroke entails too much risk for the average player.

 The Eye in the Sky" VIII take pictures at Narragansett, not only of every race, but of every horse fin- ishing in every race, The SteWards have been given the final word in the calling for pictures but will use this priviledge In the case of very tight finishes. Pictures will be post- cd at four different locations in the grandstand and clubhouse after use by the officials.
 Two of Saturdays best perform ances at Narragansett will be, un- fortunately for the general public, held behind closed doors. These VIII be the addresses and admonitions from Presiding Stewart Tom Thorp and starter Harry Morrissey to the Jockeys. By the time Thorp and Morrissey are through, every rider will have 0 very thorough knowledge of what is expected of him during the thirty seven days of racing here. There will be no fooling.
 Narragansett's new Press coop atop of the grandstand roof has pleased the scriveners immensely. What will please them better Is the fact that visiting firemen will be barred, thus permitting the boys to work without constant interruption.
 Horsemen at NarraganSett are loud in their praises of Harry Kees, Kentucky track expert who has the racing strip here in marvellous con- ditlon. While horses are working very fast, they are revelling Tn the top cushion which eases and pro- tects their legs from all strain. Kees can boast of less horses break ing down on his strips than any other man in the country.

Berlin, Aug, lS.-(UP)--Naseball made It's international debut under fhloodlights of Rsiehsportfield last night, and if the minds of the l00,- 900 Germans who watched 1t could he read today Ahner Doubleday probably could enter Q libel suit which would dwarf the war debt,
 For nearly three hours the crowd, by many thousands the largest ever assembled for baseball, sat in utter bewilderment As two American teams put on an olympic exhibition. The game drew only two rousing and sincere cheers. The first came when 1t was announced that tho game was half completed, the see- ond when 1t was All over and the teams left the field.
 The crowd had two strikes on 1t even before the game started, The first came when three announeers, Q German, Q Frenehman and An Englishman, were brought before the miorophone to explain the game. The German. who. judging by his remarks, had gained hts knowledge of the American pastime by reading tho rules of water polo, gave an interpretation that even che Brook lyn Dodgers wouldn't have unndef- stood, The Trenehman picked up where he left off and concluded with Q warning that the only thing it was necessary to watch was the "throWer tossing tho sphere against tho baton of the striker" The EnglishmAn spoke with An oxford accent and the tipoff on how much he knew came when he said hase- ball was c unique mixture of Ia. crosse and cricket, and referred to the bases as -four places of refuge.
 The second strike on tho crowds chances of cleaning 0 fragment of understanding of what was going on was tho poor lighting. The lights Wero so dim it was impossible to see the ball from the stands, Now, the ball is Q very vital part of tho game, and with 1t invisible tho pro- oeedings were little more than pam tomine, even to tho Americans.
 This absence of the ball worried tho Germans and the first inning hadn't passed before they set up Q chant: "Dall, ball, who's got tho bAlle"
 The only time tho crowd could catch Q glimpse of the ball was when some batter raised Q pop fly to the infield, where the light was brightest. AS Q result anyone who hit a pop fly was the hero of tho game, drawing double the applause of home runs or triples, One couldn't help thinking how popular Leo Durochar would be in this coun- try. The game was saved from be- ing completely . flop, by Tiny" Parker, former National league um- pire who worked behind the plate, Tiny called balls and strikes with Q foghorn voice and after his first few bellows the crowd reared balls and strikes with him.
