Footwork in baseball is one of the
most necessary things. A man who
handles his feet we'll. either batting.
fielding or base running, is good
player, for footwork Is better than
ability with the hands. 1t is as neces-
sary for a player to be shifty on his
feet as It is for a boxer. No one can
be shifty unless he Is on his toes all
the time, and a fat-footed player Is as
bad as a fat-headed one-and usually
the two things go together.
The batter who Is on his toes, bal
anced and ready for the jump, will
hit. for he can shift and swing and
still get his weight behind the bat.
The shifty runner on first is ready
to move either way-to dive back to
first or go on to second. In the field
he moves with the ball, and Is moving
when it Is hit. SO he covers more
ground.

HER PLUCK WON.

Turkish Officials Couldn't Intinidats
This American Woman.
When DR.. Mary Eddy, the only wo-
man physician in Turkey, tried to Sc
cure the right to practice In the Otto
man empire she had to face an exam
ination by a score Of the most distin-
guished doctors Of the country she
was trying to invade. She is Of Amer
lean parentage. but was brought up
In Syria
The first question was In French and
uttered In a contemptuous tone, who
are your To the establishment Of her
examiners she answered in the Arabic
language, Il am Of you and from
among you"
She was examined without intermis-
sion for six hours, says Success. Tired
with receiving correct answers one Of
the inQuisitors In the hope Of intimi-
dating her called out, THAT answer Is
wrong"
She asked for certain medical books
and with striking calmness said, "If
all these authors do not sustain my
answer / VIII withdraw my applica-
iton to practice medicine" Her Amer
lean pluck won her the day, and she
was given the long desired privilege.
She Is now devoting her life to the
curing Of blindness, disease to which
the Moslems fall easy prey on account
Of the shifting sands lifted and blown
easily about by the winds. Her sery-
ices during the Armenian massacres
have given her a place In the hearts
Of the natives second only to that Of
their prophet, Mohammed.
