And oft trembling Freshman has

But now the showers voice is hushed-

Practice Wins Games.

But how often do you see the boy
taking turns with the others at hitting
while the pitchers send up tie best
speed and curves they have, and the
other members OF the team in the reg
ular positions chase the balls
1t is isn't much fun to practice this
way. There is a whole lot OF waiting.
The men in the infeld and outfield
have TO wait long while for a ball
to come their way. There is lots more
fun in other kinds of practice, but it
is this batting work that wins the
games
You can't hit without practice. all
the time, early and late. If you don't
get this kind OF work when you go up
against good pitccers it is new to you.
You don't know what 10 do, and be-
fore you get accustomed TO the speed
and curves of the pitcher he has you
beaten. The worst batters in the
world are pitchers. They are jokes
as rule, and the reason is easy to
see. They get virtually no batting
practice. If you want to hit them, get
out and practice doing it.
First of all, you must have confid-
ence Never let the pitcher think he
has anything on you. Make up your
mind that he is nothing more than any
other twirler ald that he has to put
the ball within your reach to get a
strike. Let him do the worrying, es
pecially If there are men on the
bases.
