Counsel for Orpet said evidence

New Plan Being Used at the keokuk
High School In an Effort
to Stop This
Nuisance.
PROGRAM FOR FRIDAY
Short Talks to be Given at the High
School at 800 O'clock in Aft
ernoon-Coiegrave
Speaks.

Hardness among high school stu
dents has become such that DR.. r. l..
Reid. principal has been forced to put
into force a rather stringent plan In
an effort to stamp it out.
The plan has been In operation for
a week or two and there has been a
gradual decline since that time in
the number of tardy students.
Here Is how it works. Any student
tardy must go to his home, be it far
or near, and secure an excuse. The
time lost is made up after school in
the afternoon.
There are some business houses in
Keokuk, who, when their employees
are late, assess them a quarter" Dr.
Reid said. "The school is just as
much a business place as these houses.
although the students fail to realize it
at times, and the loss Of time in school
through carelessness is just as bad as
a loss Of time in business house and
steps should be taken to prevent It,"
Friday Program.
The first Friday afternoon program
under the auspices of the newly or
ganized students association, will be
held at the school at 500 o'clock on
February 25. On the program are the
following ten minutes talks:

"A left-handed hitter always is from
three to six feet nearer to first base
than is the right handler. When a
right handler takes his position he is
on the far side Of the plate; the left
handler is on the near side. When the
right handler hits the ball, the swing
pulls him farther away from first,
whereas, a swing actually sends a left
handler nearer to the initial bag.
when you take into consideration
how often during a season that a throw
beats man to first by just one stride,

there is in hitting left handed

Right Handlers Who Hit the Ball Hard,

A perusal Of the batting records
brings out popularity. 1t uncovers
the fact that the majority of the great
est sluggers the game has produced
have been right handed hitters, yet the
bulk of high percentage hitters are left
handers.
The lefthanded batting stars for the
most part, are speedy afoot, the right
handlers are clumsy to an extreme,
most Of the right handlers have been
big men; the left handlers run to the
diminutive on the average.
Old Cap Arson was a right handler.
So was Ed Deehanty, who could drive
a ball as far as any man in the game.
Lajoie and Wagner, the veterans, are
starboard clouters. Cactus Cravath,
who damned the fences over and anon
last summer, is right handler. Fred
