STUDYING NIGHTS

When the Cardinals were do
ing their spring training Branch
Hickey noticed that Austin Nc
Henry, In stealing a base, was
prone to go into the bag with
the wrong foot, and thus slide
three feet further than neces-
sary. Calling McHenry to him
Hickey asked: "Austin, what is
the first rule of plane geome-
try?" 81 don't know nothing
about geometry, sir" was the
reply.
"Well, then, I'll tell you," re-
Joined Hickey, ut is that the
shortest distance between two
points may be accomplished by
a straight line. You ignore that
rule in sliding to bases and
travel an excess distance of
three feet on every slide, so that
when you have stolen SO bases
you really will have stolen 81,
though you won't get credit for
the extra base. Just apply a
little geometry to your base
stealing and you will get better
results with less effort"
Eyes, SIR" answered McHenry,
too dazed to say anything else.

Garry Hermann, Redland chief, Is

club is breaking all attendance rec

The Reds also are run on a pretty
economical basis. The club has little

pitcher, has appeared in left field.
