WISE TRICKS

Y VOLUMES have been WRIT.
v about clever plays made h.
ball players in the A..
leagues, but little has ever b...

that these boys also have go,.
baseball heads and can puu n.
some classy plays just as well .,
the big leaguers.
IT ERE is a simple piece of st,.,
egg that was pulled bv NM,
ply, of Marist, in the deciar,
game of the Atlanta prep Iesyr.
championship last year with n.
Boys High team. 1t was the t.rn
inning and the score was tied tn,
men were down and Murphy was.,
bat, with Brannon on third tn.
signal was given to try the soues,.
play, which meant that Murnbv
was to bunt. Instead he grippss
hit bat tightly and in other wsv,
gave the opposing pitcher the i'm.
preston that he was going to try IA
hit it over the fence.
Acting under this belief IN,
pitcher sent one in close and III.
tie high. This was what the willy
Murphy was looking for, and the
moment the ball left the pitcher,
hand he changed his position and
took shorter hold on the stick
The ball sped on and Murphy Laid
down a perfect bunt toward third
Brannon had taken a big lead and
came racing in with the hit and
slid in safe with Murphy already On
first base. With this run went tn,
game and the prep ieague pennant
and this simple piece of headwors
by Murphy in leading the pitcher
off the scent would have done
credit to a Wagner or a Cobb
tn HE same kind of headwork won

year against Stone Mountain. L
was in the seventh inning and L
looked bad for the high school boys
with the score 4 to 1 against them
The bases were full, and Parks
who Is again pitching for the Tech
High nine this year, was at bat
Parks used the same method en-.
ployed by Murphy in the oths
game, except that this time th
conditions were reversed. Instead
of appearing to want to slug thu
ball, Parks made believe he intend
ed to bunt, and when the pitche
delivered one that could not have
been hunted Parks swung on i
with full force and the ball in is
mad flight sailed clear over The
creek at Stone Mountain and scored
the three men on bases as well a.
the batter This made the scoH
5 to 4, in favor of the high schoa
boys and that is the way 1t stood
when the last man was declaTa
out.

BOYS. GIRLS AND MANNERS. BY
Florence Howe Hall l2mo, PIP. 80.
Boston: Dana Estes q Co.
Some Of us occasionally have been
forced to smile. though this has not
been to our credit, at the predicament
of some young person who has written
in 10 Dear Miss So-and-sO," conductor
OF a department in some newspaper
which gives advice concerning social
matters. to explain that she is sixteen
years old. and that a young gentleman
of whom she is very fond has been
calling on her regularly for year and
a half, but has never asked her out
anywhere: and she inquiries what she
is to do. This before MS should be a
very useful little book. We have an
idea that If we were a boy or girl
we should like 10 have il ourselves.
We recall sundry perplexities I'm our
own early social life. where clan
destine onIultation of this volume
would have come in very handily. our
pride somewhat handicapped us in OBJ
tanning information we much desired.
Perhaps a vigorous boy may find this
rather "goody- goody" reading In spots,
so much stress is placed upon benevo-
lence as the foundation Of good man
ners: but it Is not unentertdining On
the whole. and full Of pointers. The

skeletons, but as living organisms,

tivities." The chapter on Dress and

the famous men whose early years at

Statesmen, inventors, explorers, the
