THE SPORTING NEWS.

at the plate and goes wide when it passes the batsman. The best of hit ters will get fooled on an out curve at times. I have also learned that when the hitter is able to connect solidly and safely with an out the ball inyar- iably is good for a safe hit. Young pitchers, as rule, develop the out curve first. They find that by prac tice they can twist the ball over their forefnger with the necessary speed behind it to make it go as they want to. Then they begin to practice other shoots"

THAT SKINNER BOY.
Humpy Hires Ont t Whitewash a
Fence.
CBy N. Quad.)

l. "a 4Aa0r
Humpy Skinner was on his way to
the drug store the other forenoon to
buy three postage stamps and a five
cent box OF chloride of lime, when a
oma who vas standing at her gate
raised her finger to halt him and then
said:
"Bubby, I hired a colored man last
night to whitewash this fence, but he
hasn't shown up as he agreed TO. Here
is the w~hitewash and a new brush, and
| was wondering If you wouldn't look
around and see If you can find me a
man ?"
How much you going to pay for the
job?" asked Humpy, as he saw a
chance to do business.
II old the colored man I would give
him fifty cents"
TN do the work for that, ma'am."
"But did you yer do any whitewash-
ing2~
I've watched fellers do it a hundred
times. Ma says I was born to be an
artist, and that If / ever ave a chance
I shall do great things with the brush"
you knows that withdrawing is
something you mustn't fool with" re-
marked the woman after a look at
Humpy.
Il know it. You have to keep your
mind right on your work"
You cant w~hitewash a fence and
look at a dog on The other side of the
street at the sane time.
Il shouldn't try to, mafam. My mind
would be right on my work all the
time"
Many a great artist has begun by
Whftewashing."
"And want to begin that way"
Then I'll give you a quarter to do
the job"
Humpy closed with the offer at
once and took off his coat. There vas
q pail of the mixture at hand. and
! 49, 1000 T1-.A ~ he aAnIaA
it. The woman explained that her sis
ter's child had come down with the
measles and that she would go over
on Sunbury street for an hour, and she
expected the boy to go right ahead and
prove his reliability during her alb
sence. She was assured hat her in
terests would be left in safe hands. and
Humpy was dabbling the brush into
the pail when she left It was a fence
made of matched boards and five feet
high and thirty feet long. and it was
to have two coats il the whitewash
held out. Everything was ready foI
the first dab of the brush when the
grocer's boy came along with a basket
IN his arn.sHe was a boy who admir-
I 1-another boy who could do great
lings. He saw that Humpy Skinner
as about to do a great thing. and he
ut down his basket and admiringly
1clafmed:
Gee. but I wish 7 was you. I wa:
eading last night how De Soto dis
overed the Mississippi river. All he
lid was TO keep going right along til
/ he come to the river. It was there and
couldn't get away. It wasn't anything
like withdrawing a fence Was yor
born a hero2"

Ply as his chest swelied out and he gave
the grocer's boy a patrcnizing look.
The boy with the basket had beer
told to hurry along. but he fingered tc
see the other begin. He had a din
idea that when the loaded whitewast
brush was showed to the top Of tbs
! fence and struck the knotholes and pro-
truding nails there would be results,
and he had been told by the grocer that
it was results that counted in business.
