hurry the play to throw out the run
ner. 1t is used chiefly to advance run
ners who already are on bases
Punt and run-The term used to
designate play much used in the
MOI finished teams. The batters and
base runners exchange signals as the
pitcher starts to deliver the ball to the
batter, the runner or runners start
for the next base at full speed. The
batter bunts as they go, and if he push
es the ball fair the play obviates the
chance to force the other runners.
The play is extremely dangerous to
bad hunters, as a double play Is al
most certain if they bunt a fly into
the air
Coacher-A player or manager who,
from the coacher's boxes back Of
first and third bases, endeavors to
guide and advise batters and base
runners, warning them of the move
ments of the enemy and flashing the
managers signals to players, as or
ders for certain plays. In the early
days of the game the duties of coach
ers were to play clown, make noise
and strive to excite Or anger oppos-
ing players. The coacher in the mod
ern game usually Is quiet, studying the
movements of the opposing pitcher
and catcher and assisting base rum
ners
Control-Ability to throw a base
ball where it is directed to be thrown,

and to pitch it over the plate between
the batter's knees and shoulders when
necessary. Control is the pitcher s
principal stock in trade, as pitcher
who can throw the ball near where
he wants it to go needs few curves
and not much speed.
Crab-A grabbed player, a Crouch. y
The verb to crab means to show a
quarrelsome or complaining spirit.
Many of the worst crabs" in base
ball are the pleasantest and most ge-
NAL when off the field, their grabbed
ness evidently being the result of the
nervous strain OF playing.
Crash-Verb used in baseball, not to
signify a single sound, but a series
of hard hits. A team starts crash
ing" when three or four batters in
succession make hits.
Crowd (Verb)-To stand close to
the home plate when batting, the pur-
pose being to hamper the pitcher and
sometimes to force him to hit the
batter. The team that crowds per-
sistently iss hard team to beat, as

many times pitchers, over anxious
through fear of hitting them, will pitch
outside the plate and give them bases
on balls
Curye-In professional baseball the
only curve spoken of as such is the
fast breaking ball, pitched overland,
that darts down and out from a right
handed batter. Al, other curves are
qualified as sidearm, out, barrel hook,
slow, drop. No one speaks Of an in
curve among major leaguers See
Putting Sonnet hing on 1t, and The
Jump.
Dirt (Hit the) Slide-Usually heard
in connection with an order to a play
er. Managers always reprove play
ers who stop standing up" and or
Ger them to hit the dirt" partly be-
cause standing up is risky way of go
ing into a base, and partly because
SO many players are injured by not
sliding.
Double-A two base hit, or two

runners are retired or put out, before
the ball ceases to move, or in one
continuous play. The commonest
double play is from the short stop to
the second baseman to the first base
man
Double Steal-A steal of bases by
two runners simultaneously. The steal
when made with runners on first and
second is seldom called a double
steal, as the runner on second steals
third and the other runner merely
trails The double steal, as meant
by the expression, is made with run
ners on first and third The runner
starts from first an6. as the catcher
throws to catch him, the runner on
third trief to score before the ball
can be returned to the catcher. The
play is used chiefly when two are ont
and the chance of scoring in any other
way is small

Natherine's Point of View.

Little Katherine is a believer in the
outdoor life, and she does not confine
her fresh-air activities to her own
backyard. Her mother recently had a
load Of sand placed in the rear of the
yard, thinking Katherine would devote
her time to playing in the sand She
did play there part of the time, and
part Of the time she was out of the
yard.
Katherine said her mother, exas-
perated because her daughter was not
staying in the yard, don't you know
had that man bring this sand here to
keep you in the yard?"
Mamma, replied Katherine, tell
him to come and take it away"

We know of no other medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received SO many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E.

In nearly every community you will

every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek

over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia

every grand stand to translate for the
benefit OF those who merely love the
game and do not care to master 1t

THE Clarion Democrat, which fought
the good roads bond issue mainly on the
ground that there might be "grsft' In 1t,
now shouts as follows:
NOW, then, let us all urn in to have
the legislative and executive departments
make a standing appropriation Of s.. OO0,-
600 annually for the improvement and
construction of the roads of the state"
A beautiful pipe dream, surely. AS
though the big delegations in the legisls-
ture from Philadelphia, PittsburV and the
large eastern counties we're going to be
"turned in" to cut u their local appro-
pristions yearly for the benefit Of good
roads in the country districts which
turned down the proposition! Very, very
likely these large centers of population
are o going to force n 81, 200, 900 appro-

sented to the voters Of a great state.
