make such poor base runners is be-
cause they do so much bending and

velops the muscles in their legs and
shortens their stride when running.
Just look 'em over and see If I'm not
right Few OF them ever attempt to

rule you have to bat 'em around the

Hoy many times in the last four

Giants could not hit left-handed pitch

been stung by attempting to prove
that theory? Perhaps 1t is difficult to
believe, but it's a fact that the Giants
now would rather see left-handers in

right.handers. That's because the bat
ting order is now composed of men
who can slug the southpaws, but which
does not show at its best when trying
TO solve the curves OF right-hand cross

southpaws in the league who always
give the Giants hard battle-pitch-

the entire second section Of the bat

swingers the thing is evened up. The

Iron tucks and plain part OF waist
next on right side. Start at the shout
der, holding the tuclSs firmly with the
left hand. Then turn blouse and iron
lace and embroidery on wrong side.
Lace ruffles and edging should be
pulled out after ironing to give a new

fall into place.
Most thin materials, save handker-
chief linen, are improved by a thin
starching. They keep fresh longer
and take better color. Sometimes
this is supplied by dampenins with
little cold starch water.
Another starch is made by making
a paste with two teaspoons OF starch
and little cold water, over which Is
