IN MEMORIAM

RATCLIFFE-In sad but loving re-
membrance of our little daughter,
ALICE VIRGINIA RATCLIFFE
who left us three years ago, Janus
airy 60.
Today recalls memory
Of loved one laid to rest,
And those who will remember her,
Are those who loved her best.
The Lord who gives has called away
To his will we must bow.
She is free from pain and suffering,
Not pain can reach her now.
Oh how we loved you baby dear
No hearth on earth can tell,
But God loved you better still,
And called you home to dwell.
25-1p. Mother and Daddy.

Editor Gazette:
1t is with the greatest satisfaction
that many Of our citizens hear of the
possibility of an appointment in
Alexandria OF juvenile court Judge.
The need for such an officer has long
been felt by those who are interested
in the welfare of the children and
young people of our town, and the fact
that at present we have not even a
probation officer makes the necessity
the greater.
Of course such an appointment
would mean some slight expense to the
city, but at time when we are pre-
pairing to spend $4,000 to illuminate
an already we'll lighted street we sure
ly cannot with consistency plead
economy or hard times as excuses for
ncglecting our children.

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
opvright. 1892. by the International Syndicate
THE FUNDAMENTAL OF FIELD ING

Now the thing to be learned is to get
good start in the right direction, not
with the crack of the bat as the
baseball reporters have had it from
time immemOrial, but before the crack
of the bat.
Remember this, boy: If you wait
for the crack of the bat before you
start for the ball you are lost.
To be a good fielder you must be
able 10 foretell where the ball is going
to be hit before the batter hits it and
start in that direction.
How can You tell in what direction
the batter will hit the ball9 Easily
enough if YOU have baseball instinct
and try little.
The great fielders make their starts
before the ball is hit BY watching the
speed of the pitch and the manner in
which the batter goes back for and
starts his swing, the manner in which
he ''times the ball, the clever fielder
can almost unconseiously foretell the
direction in which the ball will be hit
and govern his movements accordingly.
If the pitch is very fast and the bat
ter starts his swing late the chances
the left of the shortstop, and of csnter-
fielder, if the latter is playing in line
with second base.
So, II the pitch is fast and the batter
does not start his forward swing in
time the third baseman, shortstop, left
fielder and eenterfielder can with safe
ty start toward their left hands. ST.
miliarly the second and first baseman
and the right fielder will know appar-
emily by Intuition but really by good
eyes whIiher the ball will go to the
left or to their right and adjust them
selves accordingly.
\ sound pair of hands which will
hold on to any ball they once get hold
of and good sound throwing arm are
essentials of good fielding. Never let
a fly ball drop. when you get your
hands upon it. A real fielder will
drop maybe one fly ball in 200 games,
just to show that he is human and
not a machine.
Always advance upon ground balls
no matter how hard they come. Go in
on the ball, never go away from it,
especially in the infield. The man who
backs up on ground ball is lost.
