Our little boy has had epilepsy of

old. The spasms are coming closer
together. He is 6 years and months
old.
The. standard drugs used by prac-
tically all physicians in the treatment
of epilepsy are, asffar as we know now,
the best means of controlling the at
tacks. The child's diet should be light,
with meat allowed only once a day and
in moderate amount. He may drink
milk or buttermilk, but no tea or cof-
fee. Green vegetables and fresh fruits
may be given freely. Under no cir
cumstances must he be allowed to be-
come constipated
Keep him out of doors as much as
possible and free from excitement
He should lead a simple. regular
life with a daily bath and plenty OF

would drop into the Texas
League" territory on the diamond.
That convinced him that by playing
in close, / was of greater value on
defense than if | played far Out.
Play Close to Bag.
SO my advice is play close to the
bag in your earliest practice. Have
teammate bat fungoes far over
your head. Chase after them. That
gives you practice in making run
ming backward catches. You can't
learn the trick in a week or month.
But practice makes perfect in all
things-and certainly does it make
perfect in base ball.
Many a youngster, getting a big
league trial, has failed because he
never practiced playing in close to
the bag. He usually plays far be-
cause that's where he played on the
sand lots, the. college diamonds or
the bushes. The big league leader
orders him to play in closer so as to
trap Texas leaguers. The kid tries
it the ball is hit over his Hhead-aud
it gets away. Never having trained
in making backward running catches,
he can't make good.
Learn Your Ba.ters.
The only way to learn how to
make backward running catches and,
at the same time, skill of Texas
league pops back of the infield, is by
playing close to the bag. Don't play
too close. Your speed-and later
on--your ability to make backward
running catches-will determine how
close you can play to the bag. The
faster you are. the nearer you can
play because sped will get you back
ward in time to overtake the balls
that are hit over your head.
You must learn your batters;
learn the hitting peculiarities of
each. And you must play for them
accordingly. But that's something
that can't be taught to you; you
must learn it yourself.
Always remember that practice
makes perfect. And while you are
practising, don't get discouraged and
never lose faith in yourself.
