PLAYERS AMIss IN RUNNING
Most of Them Would Benefit Greatly
by instruction in Scientific Prin-
ciples OF Sprinting.

"a man that is continually losing
the decision by half STEP" said John
]. McGraw. manager of the champion
Giants, In talking on the subject or
base running, will never win a close
game for you. AS far as results are
concerned the ball might just as well
beat him to irst by thirty feet as by
three. Real speed on a team consists
OF just that extra half STEP"
1t is probable other managers real
lie this fact as well as McGraw. 1t
seems strange, therefore, that spring
training does not include expert
coaching in the art of sprinting. There
are few ball players who in the hands
of Mike Murphy would not learn to
run much faster than they do
Few of the men have any idea of the
scientific principles Of sprinting. Any
one who has watched ball players
closely and noticed the manner of
running and the length of their stride
will realize they do not run with the
same power and efficiency as the
trained short-distance man. In the
first place many ofthem, while they
move their feet and legs fast, take
short stride and run with an up and
down motion. They also waste time
by throwing the foot far out behind
them. Then, too many of them turn
their toes out
Any trainer will tell you that man
is capable OF taking only a limited
number of strides in a specified time.
The object is, therefore, to carr, him
over every inch of ground possible at
each stride and to do it with the least
waste effort. Barney Wefers is said
to have taken a nine-foot stride Many
ball players with limbs just as long
do not stride over five feet. 1t seems
reasonable to suppose that really
good coach by teaching players quick
starting and the proper method Of
sprinting could give many of them
that extra step or half step which in a
ball game often measures the dis
lance between victory and defeat.

BACKYARD EEETER
.WHlRLIGlG.

A plank 10 or IL inches wide and
from Il to 20 feet long suggests many
possibilities for backyard fun, and
among these Is the ever popular tee
ter, or see-saw, and the whirligig, bet
ter known, perhaps, as the Flying
Dutchman." These two pieces of ap-
paratus are quickly made, which is
probably one of the reasons for their
popularity, but enough time should be
given to the work to make the appa-
ratus substantial and to eliminate the
possibility of injury to anyone.
The board of a teeter should be Sc
cured to its support in such way that
it will not slip when fitting, and thus
change tina center of balance, and the
support should be fastened to the
ground so 1t will not overturn Fig.

Holes 5 and should be placed In the
center of the lenSth ct the plank,
and about s inches to one side or
these, and and 10 about s inches
from 7 and s. These holes should be
spaced the same distance apart In the

in the axles, but it is a good plan TO
''stagger" them, that is, set each pair
little to one side or the other OF the

By making the three sets of holes IL
is possible to adjust the teeter plank

equal weights seated upon it. A pair

a piece of a broom-handle or curtain

for handle-bars.
If the teeter is to be used by just

lower axle, too, so that you can adjust
the plank to the lower one In case
the little fellows want ride.

FREAKIEsT HOMER ON RECORD
"Granqer" Woods Knocks Ball Into
Gopher Hole and Scores Winning
Run of Exciting Game.

Granger Woods, who used to star
in the box for Oklahoma City during
that city's participation in the old
Western association, won holly con-
tested baseball game, during last sea-
son, at Canton, Okla, when ball that
he hit through the shortstop rolled
into a gopher hole, giving Woods a
home run and the only tally in the
game. The play happened in the
ninth inning.
Both Woods and Woodwork, who
opposed him at Canton, we're pitching
for Watonga regularly, but having an
off day they agreed to pitch for Can
ton and Hitchcock. Both pitchers
were going at their best and the two
teams were unable to hit when hits
would bring in runs. There was con-
siderable rivalry between the two
boxmen and this was the first time
they had pitched against one another.
In the ninth inning, with the score
O to and hits very few, Woods came
to bat. The second ball thrown by
Woodwork was knocked through the
shortstop and rolled into gopher
hole, about a third of the distance
out toward the center fielder. The
outfielders worked hard to get the
ball. but before they could recover it,
Woods had made the circuit and won
the game.

have been thoroughly chilled, cut in
halves and lengthwise, and scrape out
the seeds. Fill the hollow of each
half with vanilla ice cream, packing
it in as firm as possible, leaving lit

halves together tightly, thus forcing
the cream up into the fruit, causing
the melon juice to mingle with the
cream. When ready to serve, knife
run between the halves separates the
fruit and slices the cream.
