the overthrow.
The right fielder should come in
fast on hit to left which is likely
to call for a throw to second. He
should station hims elf on a line
from the left fielder to second. so
as to nail the ball if it comes
through.
T n case of a long drive between
center and left or center and
right the man nearest to it should
turn instantly and take out after it,
while Sle other stations himself on
a line between the ball and home to
relay the throw in. If the drive
gets past the left fielder between
him and the third base foul line the
relay should be made to the short
stop. who has in the meantime run
out to receive it. If the drive is be-

by let a runner on third tag up
after the catch and score. They
should, in such a case, not have
tried to get to the ball.
OUTFTELDERS should study the
batting habits of the opposing
batsmen. If they step out straight
or forward for them, they are like
ly to cross the ball over; but II the
batsman pulls badly, he will GER
tainly pull it down to his near hand
provided he hits it at all. The
fielders should shift their positions
accordingly.
If your pitcher is sending over a
fast one, while the batsman has
caught his bat we'll down at the
end, he will seldom be able to get
the stick around in time to catch
that fast ball so as to turn it down
to his near hand. Accordingly the
fielders should look out for the ball
crossing over. while the first base
man will do well to drop back lit
tie deeper.
OUTFIELDERS should prompt
each other as to the batting
habits of each successive batsman,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-07

and should see to it that they never
between themselves.
The question of whether to get
an exceedingly low line drive be-
fore it hits the ground or to play it
safe and take it on the bound is one
that must be considered afresh by
the outfielder each time the play
comes up. 1t depends upon the
particular circumstances of the
case and largely upon what is at
stake at just that time. What the
score is, how many are out, how
many runners on, what are the
speed and Skill of the fielder, is the
ball curving, is the ground between
rough or level, is it good daylight
or getting pretty dark-these are
all pertinent points at such a time.
OFTEN we see outfeIders collid-
~ ing in going after the same
fly ball. This should not happen.
If one sees that he can get it, he
should at once say he has it, and
after that he should stick to what
he has said and take it, while the
other fielder should never think of
butting in on him. Sometimes,
though, the other fielder says he
did not hear the call.
The sure plan is for the one who
first calls to assume the RESPONSE
bility of sticking to the job while
the other should reply to him to
take it,"

ever there was in torturing his innocent
victim. Society is an organization of
men and women to further the best in

ciety stand the stimulation of crime and
murder for money!
Again: at is not drunkenness that is
unforgiv able, but the encouragement of
drunk enness; not vice that is intoler-

vice for profit. The first step toward
the elimination of sin is to get after the
man who makes money out of it.
A Detroit, Mich. paper is quoted as
saying mo matter what phase of the
social evil we confront in Detroit, We
find the saloon in the background. :" So
it may be said the wide world over. In

one of the most brutal murders on rec
ord. Whom shall we hold responsible,
if not the man who made money out
of it."

on the fatal day, as had also his cousin
who died. He said "there was scuffle. -
He knows no better than the rest of US,

if there were a murder, is the man who
sold the two quarts of whisky to that

FRUIT GROWING
Making 1t Pay by Cooperation.
By j. B. NORMAN,

By j. B. NORMAN,
Practical Horticultural. Formerly Con-
nected With the Dept. Of agriculture.
Many fruits. such as peaches. straw.
berries and raspberries. are very per-
ishable. They must be picked ut the
hight time, packed properly and mar.
keted promptly to bring good prices.
The grower runs big risk KS when he
stands alone. The season is short.
lasting only few weeks ut the
most The grower must be able to
take advantage of market conditions
Or failure stares him in the face. He
may deal with an honest commission
merchant and yet get little or nothing
for his fruit 1t may spoil on the road
or the market may be overstocked,
when the price surely falls This
spells failure. and it is an every day
occurrence. For this reason co-opera-
ton has spread rapidly among fruit
growers in all parts Of the country
with splendid results.
Even Missouri does not have to be
shown. In fact Missouri can show us
something worth while when 1t comes
to a question Of cooperate among
growers of small fruits One man with
80 trees on less than three acres re-
ports a net profit of 1913. Another
with ten acres reports net profit of
more than $1,000. These incomes are
not unusual among small fruit grow
ers in the Ozark region when they are
united into cooperative societies.
1t is practically impossible for grow
ers of Strawberries and peaches in Mis-
souri, to sell their crops at a profit if
they try to market them without CO.
operation. Before the Ozark Fruit
Growers association was formed many
strawberry growers Were selling out
because of poor prices, but now straw
berry farming is probably the most
prosperous line Of agriculture in the
state. The chief benefit has been
brought about by shipping to towns
and cities where the supplies Of fruit
were not large The manager of the
society is in daily communication with
all available markets.
Other benefits are the esta adjustment
Of fruit brands that have become
known to the trade. are sought in the
market and bring high prices. The
growers have acquired better business
methods. They have better facilities
for handling their crops. and they take
better care of their orchards because it
pays them to do so.
There is room for progress, but by
educating fruit growers through the
local press in the advantages of co
operation there is no reason why the
growing of perishabe fruits may not
be made a safe and profitable business
practically everywhere.
