WOMEN TO PLAY BALL.
University Summer School to Teach
Them Essentials of Baseball.

Them Essentials of Baseball.
A course in baseball for women is
one of the latest novelties In a univer-
sity curriculum. This course, which is
given for the first time this year in
any university, is being conducted by
the department of physical training
Of the New York university summer
school and was introduced to meet a
big demand on the part of women to
learn the essentials of the national
game, for women and girls are no
longer content to let the men and
boys monOpolize this game and are
beginning not merely to have a desire
to know why batter is out on the
third strike, but also to play the game
themselves. In fact, a special adapta-
ton Of baseball is already being play
ed by thousands of girls, who have
regular teams and interclass and inter
school series. The game as played by
the girls is known as indoor baseball
| and is played with large ball and is
less violent In its demands. The rules,
however. are much, the same, and the
girls who play the indoor game can go
to the outdoor game and understand
the niceties Of hunts and stealing and
doubles as well as their little brothers
who are no less ardent fans.
The university summer school, there
fore, In its courses for women teachers
of physical training and playground
directors has instituted special train
Ing which will enable the women to
coach indoor teams. Some Of the wo-
men teachers. however, explained that
they would like to learn something of
the outdoor regular game because they
could in this way help boys at their
| Fairgrounds who could not get men to
coach their mines. In consequence
many Of these women teachers are be-
Ing taken out on the university dia-
mond and taught the theory of stand
Ing at the bat, of handling grounders
and Of playing the different positions
The women of course do not actually
play the outdoor game. When asked II
she could teach pitching one Of the
women replied: II have learned the
theory OF making a ball curve, and
can show this to my boys. But for
women with their unaccustomed shout
ders actual pitching is an impossible
lty. Stlll l think that 1t win help my
playground for me to know how bal
ought to be played, even II can't play
1t expertly myself. And by being able
to talk intelligently about their pei
games l get into much closer touch
with them"
