Writes About:

How sweet she was when he mar
ried her-dO you remember?
The wedding party was gay with
apple blossoms. The bride and groom
were married under an old apple
tree in the orchard. And the bride
wore n simple frock of white muslin
and carried a great bouquet of pink
and white apple blossoms, and her
wedding veil was pinned on with
some of them And she looked like
a great, big, pink and white apple
blossom herself. with her brown hair
tinged with gold and her blue eyes
like violets. And, oh, the look of
happiness and hope upon her face!
The man was older, but he was
happy. too, and very proud.

RUNNING the Rases

Running the Bases
Written especially for the Boys and
Girls Newspaper by
Lee King
OF the New York Giants.
While I'm sitting on the bench /
closely watch the opposing pitcher.
You frequently can make a good
many useful observations IN this
way. And one OF these IS especially
valuable in running the bases.
Nearly every pitcher has some un-
conscious twist he gives 10 his arm,
or his leg, or his head, or some other
part of his body, just before he
throws 10 the catcher. If the base
runner knows what this is, and
watches for II, he can tell just
half second or so before the pitcher
throws~that he IS going to fire the
ball to the catcher, and thus the
runner can safely take his lead off
the base.
The pitcher generally makes some
sort of a move different from that
when he's about 10 throw home,
just before he swings around to toss
the ball to first The base runner
should know what this move is, too.
and watch for it when he's trying
10 steal second.
When stealing second it's a good
idea to slide into the base.
George Burns, who is considered
one of the best base-runners in the
National League, attributes part OF
his success IN that line to these two
little stunts"
Always keep your eye on the ball
when running bases if you possibly
can. It's hard, but worth while.
