from the batsman, While he is just as
likely TO suffer injury in a scrimmage
when runner is making a wild dash
for the home plate. But even in the
best ordered game his hands have to
undergo a terrible bruising.
In the science of the sport, all things
being equal, the game lies altogether
with the pitcher and his catcher. The
best catching in the league will be of
little avail if the pitching is wild and
unreliable, while it would be worse
than useless to be a past master of
curves, drop balls and swift straights
II the catcher was unable to receive
and hold the delivery. Each depends
absolutely upon the other, each must
play UP TO the other and so ii is a
much mooted question as to which is
the most important to a team-the
catcher or the pitcher. But, as want
TO repeat again. il is the man behind
the bat who is the real hero of the
game.
You will often observe if you are a
devotee of the game that all ballplay-
ers have one or more broken or
twisted fingers. but the most crippled
of the lot are the hands of the catcher.
Just notice the throwing hand of any
of them and you will see how all the
knuckles are enlarged and distorted.

SUGGESTIONS FROM PARENTS QUESTIONS -

an objection in proper spirit, il is
sometimes proper to give reasons. For
example, suppose a boy is told not to
take the shortest way. He may be told
the reason then; or, later, it may be
well to tell him you knew there was a
cross dog at the corner, and that you
reared that he might be bitten. Care
should also be taken to express pleas
ure that the question was asked in the
way that ii should have been asked.
and that there was no hesitation about
obedience.
There is a great tendency to over
training on the part of ministers and
others who are intensely interested in
the proper management of their chill
dren. The failure OF such in the train
ing of their children has almost become
proverbiaL 1t is certainly not because
of lack Of love or interest; but, realiz-
ing the Importance of proper training
there is apt TO be too much training
Then, too, ii must be remembered that
the failings Of these children are likely
TO be unduly maSnified by both parents
and others.
1t is very important that we parents
should appreciate the necessity Of leav-
ing children to themselves, that they
may do about as they wish. While the
child must be trained, ii Is not neces-
sary that he should be under supervi-
sion all the time. If he is, he is likely
to become so antagonistic that he can
not be trained as he should.
One great mistake. which most Of
us parents make, is that we are too
willing to take issue with our chill
oren upon every occasion. No pa
rent should hesitate to do so when 1t
is necessary. Such as do will suffer
later. However, issues can be avoid
ed by exercising a small amount of
tact and common sense. II is espe-
cially necessary with children Of GER
tain temperaments at times. 1t is abb
solutely necessary that the parents
should strive to avoid direct issues.
Is 1t not true that all of us say
The San Francisco call., 1904-06-05

Other things being equal, the indi-
vidual who can control himself is likely
to be most happy. Whether or not a
person is liable to control himself will
largely depend upon his training In
early life. At times it may require only
loving kindness upon the part of the
parent; or it may require much firm
ness also. Almost all children can be
taught self-control when young. That
is the time to help them. Life with
them is a constant warfare We must
stand ready to help them battle against
self, as well as against outside infiu-
ence. Don't bribe your child to control
himself in any way. This is great
mistake. and evil results Will have to
be borne later by both parents and
child.
We are all very apt to treat with too
little consideration the child of quick
temper Many employers prefer clerks
who have violent temper. They under
stand that 1t is a form of energy, and
II the temper Is controlled the indi-
viduals can accomplish a great deal
more than those without temper. II
child shows temper much Of the time
this requires different treatment Such
child should be kept busy, as much
as possible, with some manual play or
work. The parent must be careful not
to show temper when the child does
1t Is probable that the child gets his
temper honestly, but If the parent is
not careful scars Of more than one kind
may be left, and remain for many
years-scars which even future kind
ness can never efface.
We must not forget that the great
object of training is not merely to make
children obedient. 1t is not to make
them behave. 1t is not to keep them
quiet. 1t is not to make them admired
by others. 1t is not to please our own
selfish vanity in any one of many ways.
The great purpose of training is to
make out of each what the Almighty
evidently intended him to be.

Many children are completely ruin
ed by the threats which parents make
and fail to carry out. How often we
promise to do something next time'
What a mistake! We should do some-
thing now, or say nothing. A little
punishment or rewarding in the pres
ent is more powerful than ten times
the amount, promised for delivery at
some future time. As "a barking dog
never bites.' so 1t Is almost certain
that a parent who threatens much

There is no place for scolding or
nagging in the training of children.
Yet how many of US are apt to do so.
Some say they do this so that they
need not whip their children. But
this will have a worse effect on a
child's character than a reasonable
amount of whipping, inflicted at
proper time and in a proper manner.
III a child has done wrong he should
be spoken to in a kindly and, If nee
essary, In very firm tone. How
ever, 1t should be done in the natural
tone of voice at all times.
We are apt to magnify the faults of
children. Let US remember that many
OF the so-called faults are not faults.
put are natural actions, which they
should and will outgrow.
Wnen you hesitate as to whether or
not you should refuse some request
made, do not consider whether. the re-
quest would have been a foolish one
Tor you, but rather whether it is
proper one for the child. The child who
fnds he is treated in this way will not
hesitate to ask for things which other
wise he would get by stealth.

place he expects it to be delivered and
finds that it lands somewhere else
entirely. and usually upon his own
anatomy.
Add to this the complication that Is
likely to ensue when the batter ere
ates a foul tip and the wonder Is that
the catcher suffers nothing more than
a broken or twisted finger, dislocated
joint or q sprained knuckle, where he
might have his arm broken or De
killed outright. as was the case In a
big Eastern game several years ago
when foul ball struck the catcher full
on the point Of the chin and ended his
life instantly.
But the danger from the batter and
pitcher are not the only difficulties
catcher has to contend with. In re-
cent game on Puget Sound one OF the
runners while sliding to base struck
his head against the leg OF the base
man. Conclusion OF the brain was the
result. while the man at the bag was
scarcely less badly bruised. These, OF
course, may be said to be the excep-
tional injuries. but nevertheless they
are risks which the catcher has to
take in even a greater degree than any
other player on the team
This accident could have been avoid
ed had the baseman not been so set
as the phrase goes in baseball parlance.
which means that he should not have
stood so rigidly at the bag. but have
allowed his body that freedom OF movo-
ment and Iaxity that would have in
sured him giving ground in such q
heavy impact. and so saved both the
runner and himself
The observance OF this rule devolves
particularly on the catcher, for unless
he sets" himself properly at all times,
whether catching the batter out or the
runner at the home plate or In throw
fne to bases, he is likely to strain him
self or be injured in some such mtx-up
as have described.

team. Until the man at the bat has
had two strikes or unless there are
men on bases he can stand far back
from the home plate and let the balls
pass him at will. but before the third
strike he must move up SO close to the
plate that the whizzing bat scarcely
misses his nose and not only stop the
ball. but hold 1t.
1t is In this contingency that the

N HE observations OF these anniver-
saries arc a source Of far greater
good than most parents think.
4 The remembrance and celebration
oi them bring the different members of
the family closer together and small
differences are forgotten. The loving
thoughts connected with the prepara-
tion OF something for the occasion will
increase and multiply with the passing
years.
If you remember a child's birthday
he viii discover that you are really
glad that he is here. 1t viii never be
forgotten. You VIII find that he will
take great pleasure in remembering
yours during the years which are to
come.
The remembrance may be no more
than a Kiss or a bunch of flowers or
some other similar expression of love.
In one family a boy on his birthday
received a pencil from one brother, a
knife from another, box Of writing
paper from his sister, some newly
baked gingercalse from his mother and
Is cents from his father. Even this was
more expensive than need be TO prove
that the day was not forgotten by
those who loved him and were clad
that he was one of the family. To
those who are absent even a brief note
will be more highly priced than would
many presents be under other circum-
stances.
II will thus be apparent that II is
not necessary 10 go TO great expense
not necessary to have costly parties in
order that the day may be properly
celebrated. The spirit is the i'm
portant requisite. Given that all else
may be omitted: without that, every
thing VIII be wanting.

7 y the past five years many young
catchers have suffered such seri-
Gus injury that they have been
obliged TO retire from the game
for weeks az q time either By the
pitcher crossing" them or a wild ball,
which splits or breaks their fingers.
Not very long ago Tommy Leahy,
catcher for the Friscos, while playing
at Fresno had his finger split by a
ground ball. which resulted in his
being retired from the game for~sev-
eral weeks. Veteran Pete Lohman
has beer having trouble OF much the
same sort, but the wonder is not that
cstchers are hurt behind the bat, but
that more are not hurt.
For all positions on q team II is the
rann behind the bat who continually
runs the greatest risk. He is in dan
ger from the pitcher and in danger
The San Francisco call., 1904-06-05

And thus with an appreciation OF
the velocity of the pitchers delivery
and the importance of the secret sig
nails 1t can be very readily seen how
dangerous to the catcher is the
cross" ball, which means that the
pitcher has totally disregarded the
signal and deceived the catcher as well
as the batter.
For instance, If the catcher signals
None finger on the glove)' for a fast
ball, which means a straight ball
thrown directly across the home plate,
and the pitcher sends a curved ball
instead, not only the batter but the
catcher is liable to be deceived and
the catcher in particular is apt to be
hurt. Likewise when he signals for a
The San Francisco call., 1904-06-05

ing between both NJ MvUner ana ths
catcher Is all the greater.
Thus If the pitcher has been throw
ing swift ball for two strikes and
the catcher think he can be most
readily fooled by q change OF deliv-
cry, he gives a secret signal for q slow
ball, which with some teams is shown
by putting the tips of all four fingers
on the palm Of the catching glove. The
signal for a curve ball Is two fingers
on the palm of the glove with the res.
of the hand closed, while for a fast
ball only the index finger Of the right
hand Is used. Likewise when the
catcher wants ball sent directly over
the plate he holds his hands straight
before him in the catching attitude
just before the pitcher is ready to
make his delivery.
However. with the exception of this
last all of the signals must be given
SO that none of the men of the oppos-
ing team on the side lines can see
them, and so communicate them to the
man at the bat, which is frequently
done, notwithstanding that there is
rule of the game against 1t.

1t Is for this reason that each team
has a set of signals perfectly under
stood between pitcher and catcher.
and in the science of the sport, when
the game is at it's most exciting period,
both make the most careful use of
them. 1t is then that the pitcher and

of the game devolves upon them, al
