The Perseverance Club.
By JAMES ALBERT WALES.

The subject OF organizing baseball
team was thoroughly discussed at one of
the weekly meetings of the Perseverance
Club early in the spring. VIII Stratford
was elected manager of the team, and it
was decided to defer the election of a cap
tain till later.
I'm my opinion" said VIII, addressing
the meeting, there would be more inter-
est in the team If We organized league
and had championship games. / would
suggest forming a league with the
Rangers, the Golden Knights, and the In
yincibles, of Glendale
Leave out the Invincibles,' said Tom
Barry. They can beat any team around
here under sixteen, and you know they
didn't lose a game last season.
"Just listen to mel" replied VIII, with
deep feeling. zone of our principles is
not to be afraid of anything. and if we
go into this league with the determination
to win neither the Invincibles nor any
other team is going to stop u.s.
Wills spirit was heartily applauded. II
was voted that a committee Of three

men. who merely 5unted the ball, the ex-
ercise being intended only for the pur-
pose of training the eyes and learning
how to hold the bat
Don't hold your hands close together
on the bat" advised Mr.. Foster. Hold
them about two inches apart, and let the
lower hand be at least an inch from the
end OF the bat. When you strike at the
ball don't chop up or down at IT, or swing
at it wildly with your eyes closed, but
meet it fairly and squarely with direct
blow. When the pitcher delivers the ball
keep your feet together. very near the
plate; then step forward and meet the
ball as 1t comes toward you-don't step
away from the plate. Again, remember
that a well-placed hit, even If II is only
bUn;, is better than 4 long drive sent at

The first league game was three weeks
away, and the boys had regular practice
every afternoon and Saturday mornings.
At first every member of the club ap-
peared at practice. anxious for a place
on the team. After the first few days of
practice the club unanimously elected
Jack Henderson captain of the team, for
he had easily proved himself the best
all around player and most conscientious
trainer.
Captain Henderson saw that coach
was needed to bring opt the best points
of every player. He visited Stuart Fos
ter, young Riverview lawyer, who had
been graduated from Trinity College the
year before and while in college had been
captain of the baseball team during the
senior year. Mr.. Foster was interested in
the clubs success, SO he agreed to coach
the team from TO on Mondays, We'd
nesdays, and Fridays.

pitchers. "If you use TOO much strength
