F|VE-M|LE RELAY
RACE TOMORROW

The five mile relay race be-
tween the South Central high
school and the Y. M. G.. A. teams
comes off tomorrow. The high
school boys are working hard to
get into trim for the annual meet
at Pullman. Having won the
trophy two years in succession,
they are overly anxious to cinch it
for good by carrying away the
honors this year.
The team in the five mile race
will be made up of 10 men on each
side, each runner pacing off half
a mile. Following are the names
of the men who will run: S. c. II.
S.-Fancher, Dickens, Davis,
Johns, Durant, Stegner, Starr, Ge-
latt, S. Darr, Stevens and Hender-
son; Y. M. c. A.-Terway, Beau

ball considerably smaller than the
one they would use later, and while
they would experience more trouble

Getting their eye on the ball." is
one of the ball players trials in the
spring. Eyes which have not looked
upon ball for months do not take
kindly to the jumping sphere at
first, and sometimes weeks pass be-
fore the batters begin to meet the
ball squarely.
Despite this, baseball wise heads
have never sought to help their men
get their batting eyes in working
order quickly. They are content to
follow the time hOnored method.
| wonder no one ever thought of
introducing small bat in practice.
While the regulation ball has the
appearance of a French pea to the
batter in the early days and a
smaller ball would appear smaller
than this delicacy, the benefit to
the players would be warrant for
the change.
The regulation ball must be not
less than nine or more than nine
and one-quarter inches in circum-
ference. It's weight must not be less
than five ounces or more than five
and One-quarter ounces.
