MUCH NEEDED PLACE


 Built and maintained by the Northern Methodist church to assist in the educa- tional programme in the isolated noun tain district around Boaz, the seminary is filling a much-needed place in the edu- cational circles of the state, said the speaker. There are at present approxi- mately 250 boys and girls living and talk ing instruction in the school Most of them are drawn from the rural districts and are taking their education at very small cost. although there are a number according to Dr. Fielder who, recognizing the superior quality of the training in the institution, have gone there in prefer eHce to other better known institutions
 The school provides exceptional oppor- tunities for young people who have very little money and want a good education, he declared. There are any number of ways of lessening the expenses for the pupil who proves that he Is willing and anxious to get an education at the sac- rifce of youthful pride if need be.
 During his talk Dr. Fielder would hold up the pictures of various pupils and give their histories in brief. Each picture as it would be flashed before the audience would show an honest, earnest young purpose.
 NiOO N AIN LIT
 Some of the stories of the mountain life, and the struggles of the youth of the mountain against adverse circumstances were of exceptional interest, having a di- rect heart appeal.
 One word picture drawn by pr Fielder show ed a lad of t5 in blue ocerals and & slcuch hat. He had walked down from the mountain on the opening day or ccnoos two years ago to start his higher" edu- cation. He was not wearing any shoes, never having owned any, and thougi, he had been surrounded all his life by peo- pie who could neither read nor write, he was obsessed with a desire to learn.
 He was given iop as kitchen police, with his main duties peeling vegetables and cleaning up the garbage. Later he was put to work as helper to the car penters at work on the construction of the new chapel. In both places he proved himself 100 per cent efficient. Now, he is a good carpenter, drawing good wages for his work His course at the seminary will be completed in about a year and half, and he is wearing shoes.
 Dozens of little stories like this were told to the congregation by Dr. Fielder as he held up first one picture and then another. t9 At the conclusion of the services he in- vited the people to visit Boaz in the spring and attend the commencement ex- ercises, which will be held in the new chapel to be completed in April

JACK COOMBS' SOUND ADVICE
Tiger Coach Urges Young Pitchers to
Ignore Batter and Throw at
Anatomy Of Catcher.

If the Detroit Tigers are TO have
this year what they have lacked for
many seasons, II Is up to Jack CoOmbs
20 do II to them. when Jack lectures
the young pitchers this is what he
tells 'em:
ignore the batter. Pitch to the
anatomy OF your catcher,
"The catcher Is your target You
must work with him and study his
style of receiving. If he is a good
catcher, he will remain stationary af-
tier you have begun your wind up,
And, In that event, all you have to do
Is pitch to. his body.
"FOr instance, If you want to peg
Il low ball inside, pick out his right
shoulder. To groove one, merely
throw at his stomach. II you keep
those things In mind, your control
should be improved considerably.
"But the most important thing is
you will learn to ignore your batter.
II will make no difference whether you
are pitching against 300 hitter or n
second-string pitcher They will all
look alike to you because your mind
will be on Your catcher altogether"

was manager Of the Dodgers and when
Wheat reported from Mobile he was

Wising up the Kid, IL Is called. But
this kind of learning made no hit with
the greenhOrn from the south. The
Dodgers of that period were not much

Wheat thought he belonged, I'm partic-

could, Wheat felt the restraint on him

have greeted his new boss thus:
Say, Mr.. Ebbets, came here to get
in your outiield and ! want II chance
to land there. If I can't do better
than any of that gang playing out here

Moran has Il well.bnlnnced STAFF, with

that he knows how to handle pitchers

staff enables him to use the best and
most scientific methods at the bat.
