This is done first with left and then
with the right foot.
The count in this figure is 1, 2, 3
or left, right, left with a slight dip
on the third count.
The dip is what gives the skating
step the effect of skating and should
be done very smoothly.
Now the gentleman steps directly
in back of lady as in Fig. 2 and con-
tinue the skating step except that
the lady and gentleman both raise
their right foot on the third count and
both dip with the left foot each time
instead of alternating first with the
right and then with the left.
The third position is the same as
the second. Only the step is changed.

UPHEAVEL COMES IN
 THE SEVENTH INNING

The upheaval came in the seventh when the Atlanta defense crumbled. Roth hit long fly to center field Jennings misjudged its flight and sped too far backward. In attempting lu check his sprint he tumbled to the ground and the ball fell safely Mar can bunted to Eibel who essayed fore
 ing Roth at second. but his throw was
 low and both were safe. Mcdonald fol-
 lowed with a second bunt which Hol-
 land fielded Again the peg was low
 and fumbIed. allowing the bases to
 become taxed to capacity. Molesworth delivered a fast grounder that McCon-
 mel attempted to stop. but the ball was
 hit too hard and rebounded into right field. Before 1t could be recovered Roth and Marcan tallied and Mcdonald ad- vanced to third base. Stewart doubled
 down the left field line. scoring Mo-
 Donald with the fifth run. The speedy
 right gardener could have taken third
 base on the swat ordinarily, but
 Molesworth's sprinting held Stewart at
 second. Mcbride lifted long fly to Jennings and enabled Molesworth to
 score, despite his perfect peg to the plate.
 Atlanta could secure but one hit in the eighth and ninth and lost the final game, but won the series.
