opponents off their feet.
The game has, reached the point
where managers play for runs. Men
who can hit and run bases are pre-
ferred to defensive wonders who are
weak hitters.
Striving to cut time, players are
looping fractions by changing their
batting style and improving their
start. Men who formerly took long
stride to get healthy swing" at the
ball have shortened the step without
losing batting effectiveness.
Right-hand batters hitting from
long stride must, after hitting, take
a short step with the right foot, to
balance, then shoot forward the left,
before they are off to first.
Hitting from a short stride, the
right handlers right foot is off the
ground when hitting the ball and he
instantly shoots out the foot and is,
on his way to first. The extra step
is eliminated So is from a half-sec-
.ond to a second and a half.
Left-hand batters, instead of being
"sprawled OUT when they hit, are
batting with feet close together.
Many left-handers step toward first
as they hit, especially if the balls in
close. thus saving time.
Left-handers who formerly stepped
forward when bunting, to insure hit
ting the ball, have developed ability
to bunt after they are really on their
way to first.
1t has been shown a batter doesn't
have to take a long step and swing.
Bill Sweeney of Boston, Chief Will
son of Pittsburgh and Frank Schultz
of Chicago are short steppers.
Sweeney hit. .344 last year, ranking
third Wilson made new record for
triples and made more extra bases
than any man in the National.
Schultz probably hits more long
drives than any man in the National.

Little did restaurant hotel and lunch

The drug stores and soda fountains
were kept open until after midnight
and did a rushing business up to the
last minute.
Not alone was the business confin-

spread over every branch of industry
in the city. Out of dozen merchants

army of clerks dragged themselves

State Supt. Suggests
School Officers Meet

Oklahoma city, Oct. 2l-For the
purpose Of acquainting the school
boards with the new provisions IF the
school law which goes into effect Jan
uary /, and instructing them how the
scholastic census is to be taken under
the provisions OF the school code, Supt.
Wilson has recommended to the coun-
" superintendent that they each hold
school officers meeting about the
first Of January. At this meeting the
new school laws and the blanks for
taking the scholastic census will be
distributed The new code makes a
number Of important changes in the
school laws Of the state the most i'm
portant one. perhaps, is that which
makes the county treasurer the custo-
dian Of the district funds This will
result in eliminating endless confus-
ion in the making Of reports and will
make all school warrants sell for par.
Ia many counties teachers have had
TO sell their warrants at discount
and the change will result in a saving
Of thousands Of dollars. Another inn
portant change in the law is that which
provides that schools in incorporated
towns having a four years high school
shall be governed by the same law and
entitled to the same privileges as css
les of the first class.
