First Basenan
Must Practice
Watching Ball
Written especially for the Boys and

Written especially for the Boys and
= Girls Herald by
STUFFY McINNIs.
First Baseman of the Boston Ameucan
League Team.
II there is a good pitcher in the
box, one who Is active and cap
able. l usually play pretty far
back of the first base sack, and
II necessary ina pinch. let the
pitcher cover first. But some
times the pitcher Is not capable
of doing this because he doesn't
work fast enough and then l
stick closer to the bag.
Practice has enabled me to tell
without looking just what terri
tory ball is going to. The
crack of the bat and ball coming
together tells, guess.
/ always try to have my plays
arranged before l start to carry
them out 1t doesn't pay to plan
= play while you hold the ball.
Never hold the ball any longer
than you have to. Keep 1t NOV
ing, but keep it moving in the
right way. Take enough time
before you throw the ball 10 see
that II is going to land where
you want II to.
In case a ball has been hit di-
rectly to me, and is coming
slowly, l don't plan to put out
more than one man. But IL 1t is
coming at a lively clip, / try to
put out two men, IL there are two
to be put out The fast ball gives
more time to execute a double
play.

The Presbyterian manse was the scene of very happy occa- sion last night, when some 25 or more members of the Native con- gregation came in to spend a few hours socially with their pastor and hls wife. The mistress of the manse had been busy baking good things during the day, and so had two or three of the parish women, who came in early in the evening with their hands full of fine cookery. Stories and good coffee accompanied the cake in course of the merrymaking, and everybody felt that the new manse was not only comfortable looking place but just as cheerful as it is substantial. The com- pany broke up at II, and all left for home with the intention of accepting their hostess invitation to come again, soon.

Townsites of Craig, Tenakee and Hyder Eliminated from
 National Forest

The toWnsites of Tenakee, Craig and Hyder will be eliminated from the Tongass National Forest on January l. 1922. This action which is taken on the recommen- dation of the Forest Service will permit the residents to apply for patent to their holdings under the general townsite laws. At the presont time the lots are oc- cupied under a system of leases providing for the payment of a nominal annual rental.
 Tenakee is located on the east side of Chichagof Island. In 1914 the Forest Service surveyed the townsite into streets, blocks and lots and short time later constructed 3660 feet of plank streets as aids to the develop ment of the town. It is now a thriving little community with good houses, gardens, stores, and a school. It has one of the best known hot springs in Alaska.
 Craig is located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island. It was founded by Craig" Miller who built the Lindenberger can nery there in 1912, and is now the center for the entire West Coast, having in addition to the cannery, modern sawmill, good stores, school and docks. A num- Der of years ago the Forest Ser vice surveyed over POO lots and built 21OO feet of planked streets in Craig. Many of these lots are now occupied by residences and business buildings.
 Hyder, at the head of Portland Canal was named for F. H. Hyder, a mining engineer who examined the Premier Mine in 1915. The town was started on the Linden borg homestead but this proved inadequate in size as the popula- tion has grown very rapidly in the last few years. To provide additional home-building space the Forest Service subdivided an adjacent area into POS lots. A good wagon road built by the Territory of Alaska and the For est Service from Hyder into the Salmon River mining country, a distance of Il miles is proving of good value in developing the town.
 These three towns are now per manent settlements and without doubt the residents will apply for toWnsite patents and then insti- tute local town government.
