League Club.
Nearly every boy who knows
anything at all. about baseball
wants to pitch. When l was
youngster that was one of my
fondest ambitions.
During my experience in the
box 1 have learned that there is
much more about pitching than
there seems to be to one who
just watches. Most of this is
to be learned only through prao-
tice. yet there are few sug-
gestions that prove valuable in
getting the best results from
practice.
Mix the Balls.
Don't always pitch the kind of
a ball a batter is weak on. He
will soon realize you know his
weakness and be looking for just
that kind of ball. Keep him
guessing by mixing them up.
When you think a batter will
bunt give him a high ball. They
are harder to bunt.
When you get the count to
two strikes and three balls, go
carefully. But don't always pitch
the next ball fast and straight.
Curve ii a little. The batter
usually looks for a straight,
swift pitch.

tive matters. the biggest effort prob
ably being the attempt to enact sew

measure. It was passed Ny the house
at the last session, but continued un-
til 1922 in the senate. Az inheritance
and income tax are also being pro-
posed and may pass, but the income
tax is expected to encounter a stif
fight in the, senate where it was held
up in committee rooms at the last
session.

ures will be given an impetus by the
governor. who is expected to call a
conference Of leaders early In Janu-
ary and go over the measures. The

call the joint legislative committee
on investigation. the two finance Com
mittees OF the general assembly and
possibly other committees together
