Rud' d'Ripping
Was A mateur
Editor Once

When Rudyard Kipling attend
ed United Service college in Eng
land. during his early years.
some Of HE classmates started up
a school paper. William II. Ride
ing in his book of biographies
quotes killing as having said:
1T was real printed paper Of
eight pages; and at first the
printer was more thoroughly ig-
noraht of typesetting. and the
editor was more completely ig-
norant of proof reading. than any
printer and any editor that ever
was. 1t was printed OF by a
gas engine and even the engine
despised its work; for one day II
went through the floor Of the
shop, and crashed-still working
furiousIy-into the cellar"
Amate Ir editors amongst us
will take note of this experience
and discover they are not the
only ones who are or have had
hard times With a printing press.

Before going up to bat try
swinging two or three clubs for
a few minutes. This makes the
one bat seem lighter.
To make a long hit, throw your
whole body into your swing. Do
not use only your arms-put your
whole weight behind the hit
Stand braced to start for first
base the minute the ball meets
the bat. TO waste a half minute
of time may be fatal.
Practieed Eye Brings Results
Some batters tape the handle of
their bats so they can get bet

use a bat weighing 81 ounces. 1t
has a large knob on the small
end. to keep it from slipping out
of the hands.
1t takes a practiced eye to
judge a ball correctly every time
But il you keep at it and have
baseball instinct" in you, you
will get results.
Weight and strength has a
great deal to do with knocking
the ball for long hits.
Bat In Natural Position.
Between seasons I keep At by
hunting. fishing, hiking and
keeping out in the open and get
ting as much exercise as 1 can.
During the baseball season the
professional player keeps in trim
by just playing the game ana. OF
course. obeying the routine rules
about getting enough rest, etc.
Assume the most natural posi-
tion when you bat / stand with
my feet about a foot apart. l
keep my eye on the ball, Judge

to cross the plate, and then swing
at it.

BASEBALL SHORTS

CHICAGO. Feb. 21.-Jake Dau-
bert, the Reds firstsacker, has a
chance to become a manager. The
Minersville, Pa, club wants Jake to
act as pilot this coming season. but
it is hardly likely the major league
star will even consider the offer.
The first squad Of Browns was
taken South last night from st.
Louis. Business Manager Bob Quinn
expects the athletes to hold their
first workout tomorrow afternoon.
The holdouts are apt to receive
a rude shock when they report for
duty this summer. The new rules
provide for the fning of delinquent
players regardless of what increases
in salary they may receive.
With the signing of Alec CASTOR
the Giants have five catchers on the
roster for 1921. They are Snyder,
Gonzales, Smith, Henline and Gas
ton.
Battering Babe Ruth. who is aim
ing at seventy-five home runs this
coming season, has totaled 1o3 cir
cult ciouts since his career in the
majors began in 1915. More than
half of this number were made in
1920, when he slapped out fifty
four roundtrip drives.
Wild Bill Donovan has informed
the Philadelphia fans he expects
the Phillies to lose a lot of con-
tests this summer, but he also
promises them his club will have
more fight than the Fasteners dis
played last year.
