Catcher Must
Watch Pitcher

In my last story I touched
briefly on the necessity Of
catcher and pitcher working
together closely in the matter Of
signals. Unless they do they
must bid good bye 10 all team
work. for If they fail how could
a manager expect anything else
Of the remainder Of the team
To show the positive necessity
of this I'll cite a little incident

By James p. Archer.

EFT me touch now on the syS
TEN of throwing. Perhaps
in no other department OF
the game is a man compelled TO
get the ball away from him as
quickly as in catching. In seven
out of ten cases an infelder has
a brief time to set himself after
getting the ball, and so 1t Is
with the outfielder.
But the catcher has the pitch
slammed into him, usually with
an ugly twist on it, must make a
perfect catch and all in one
move grasp the ball so that not
a single flash Of time is lost in
making the throw. Get the ball
away from you" Is one OF the
first rules OF the inside game,
but If too much speed Is attempt
ed bad results usually come. A
man always should be sure ne
has the ball before he tries 10
throw IL.
Here's a point I want to bring
out sharply. A catcher should
learn TO throw with any of his
fingers gripping the ball. I'll
show you why this Is invaluable.
No matter what care is used a
catcher will get the bare fingers
Of his throwing hand bunged up
at times. usually one finger al
a time. These injuries may not
be sufficient TO take him out OF
the game, but at the same time
they may affect his throwing.
Therefore, I say, safeguard
yourself by learning 20 throw,
even II your f1refnger is out Of
commission School yourself TO
throw even if you have only the
third and little fingers Of your
hand TO grip the ball with.
Learn also to let the ball go
out Of your fingers In such a way
that no curve and as little twist
as possible is impaired 20 Il.
such throws are the more easily
Judged and handled by the base
men and save many a tumble.

Jefferson, Sept. 29-At recent

held in the interests Of the Lincoln
Highway and at which an organization

came up almost Immediately if we

look after the work-Charies c. Cock
ton; and H. w. Thompson, of Grand

that this work was done. Then came
the question of finances, aud Capt. AL
bert Head asked TO be heard, when he
gave rousing talk and wanted to be
put down as doing something for the
memory Of the martyred president, for
the good of this great memorial to him
whom all honored. Captain Head sub
scribed $1,000, which will be used in
the marking of the new route across
the county, and he will be given this
honor and the credit should go TO him.
1t will be probably the first county to
be thus labeled in Iowa and Mr..

II there Is one big, distinguishing
trait Of the United States regular, it

are carefully trained not to think for
themselves. They are used as mere
chess pieces under the guidance OF .
master mind. In this country, where
our melting pot has yielded us an ex-
traordinary self-reliant, cool thinking
intensive initiative product, it is only
natural that our soldiers should be
trained as are our civilians.
! The United States army spends an
nually on rife target practice FIVE
times the sum spent by any other
army of an equal number Of men. This
applies, too, to our field and coast ar
tillery. As a result, no better marks
men can be found than the American
soldier and his cousin, the national
guardsnan, who is trained along the
same lines. Every worlds fire con-
troll and accuracy record with rifle and
big gun is today held by the American
soldier.
The United States army is small, in
accordance with the will Of the people
not to support a large standing mill
tary establishment But what we
have is almost 100 per cent efficient,
