plate. II you aren't pitching at plate
or to any of your boy friends, stand
that distance away from we'll and
place some object on the ground to
serve as a plate.
Takes Long Time
1t will take you a long time to
learn how to curve properly. But
practice will make perfect. After a
time you will have learned. almost by
instinct, how far to twist the wrist so
as to get the right sort of break on
the ball. When that is accomplished,
start at the biggest job of all-curv-
ing and controlling at the same time
Take your place in the pitchers
box. Work out with catcher. Throw
the ball SO that when it curves it will
break" right over the heart Of the
plate and between the knees and the
shoulders of an imaginary batsman
Keep on with this until you can break
any curve over the heart Of the plate.
1t can't be done in a week or a month
but by constant trying, you'll succeed.
And after you can do it, keep practic-
ing it just the same. Every major
league pitcher in the land is still prac-
ticing It for unless he continues per-
feet in it, he is through with the
mound job.
After you have learned control and
learned how to curve EN- and how to
control your curves, these are the big
things to keep in mind.
Guard Your Arm
Guard your arm zealously. Never
strain it needlessly. It's your might
lest asset.
Always work in harmony with your
| hon
any other man in the lineup. He's the
foundation on which most Of your sue
cess will rest.
Study your batters. Work together
with your catcher in that connection.
Never pitch a batter anything which
you think he can hit. Throw him the
other kind Always use your best
pitch-your most deceiving bail-for
the critical moments Of the game.
Mix up your pitches. Don't throw
too many curves. They tend to take
, the snap out of the arm.
Try to put the first one over for a
strike. Thatll get the batter in hole,
Use Slow One Too
A fast ball is a mighty aid to any
pitcher But a slow one often times
proves to be the best Of them all Bat
tiers don't expect many slow balls and
when one of them comes along, it us
uaIly catches them set for fast one.
And you've slipped over strike.
! Always remember that you have
eight teammates willing and eager to
help you. Don't try to pitch all the
balls past the batters. It'll hurt your
arm. Give your mates something to
do.
Practice throwing to bases to catch
mapping runners.
/ Practice fielding bunts.
! Practice covering first. so that you
can do it whenever the first baseman
is fielding the ball.
/ And -ALWAYS-that a
game isn't won or lost until the last
man is out. Never quit fighting until
! the final play is absolutely completed

The Sim Feiners had demanded

based their claim on the ground that
most of the male residents of the two
counties were sympathizers of the
Sim Fein or actual members of that
party.
The unionists contended at first that
Ulster must remain a unit and that
all Ireland must likewise remain a
unit. Pressure was brought to bear

Object Is Unknown.
At Miss Wooster's office today It
was stated that the object of the meet
ings of the county superintendent is
unknown. Miss Wooster could not be
seen personally. 1t was assumed that
one of the points to be discussed is the
possibility of having the county SUI
perintendents meet in annual session
at Topeka in connection with the an
nual meeting of the other county Off
cers-the Kansas Official Council.
Outside of this, it was stated, the
meetings would probably be informal,
and there is no set program for them.
But they are interesting the KAN
sas school teachers just the same.
Thursday evening, while Miss
Wooster is at Pittsburg, a rural edu-
cation banquet is to be held at the
Seaman rural high school. Trans
portation will be provided for the
teachers who are guests, and a feature
of the entertainment will be a playlet,
which has been arranged with some
pains by the committee in charge.
Just what is in this playlet is a
matter of deep, dark mystery, but

wink knowingly when the matter is
mentioned. The most they will say is
that the playlet is the real sensation

of fun at the expense of the various
candidates for the office of state
superintendent of public instruction.
Miss Wooster has been formally in
vited to attend this banquet-program

one intended to satisfy public opinion.
