"a ball player has lots OF time in
which he can do himself harm.
"A fellow can't disregard nature

There are certain laws that every
body has to live by. They came
with mankind. Just like directions
on a package. They must be minded
to enable a fellow TO deliver con-
slstently."
These are Babe Adams views. He
has lived accordingly. In years he's
an old man-for baseball. As a
player he's among the youngest.

One of the Greatest First Basemen
of All Time.
A first baseman must primarily
be q sure catch Of a thrown ball
from any position with one or both
hands.
Since probably 30 per cent. OF all
the outs are made at first base, IL
is apparent why a first baseman
must be a sure catch.
The first baseman must always
take into consideration the places
where the batter usually hits.
The peculiaritles OF the batters
must always be studied. There are
in the major leagues a number OF
batters known as line-hltters. THAI
Is. they more often hit the ball down
the first base foul line than between
the first and second baseman. For
such a type OF hitter the first base
man must play close TO the bag.

PIERCE TOUCHED
FOR II BINGLES

Wilmington High School closed
an otherwise somewhat successful
season quite unauspieiously yesterday
afternoon when they absorbed an
unmerciful lacing at the hands OF
Chester High School, their ancient
rivals by the score Of II to 4. It was
s to o in the first and is to in the
fourth.
Yesterdays game marked the
closing Of the season during which
the Hlghlets won Il OF 20 games. But
OF the six lost, four Of them were the
most important on the schedule, two
to Chester and two TO Salesianup,.
Yesterdays game was a miserable
exhibition OF the national pastime
with the Cherry and White caving In
right at the start. A monster crowd
was on hand and with the listless
work Of the players the spectators
also wilted, having nothing 70 re-
ward them for remaining in the hot
sun and many left before the exhibit
ton was half over.
An official tinge was given the con-
test by the presence OF Mayor mar
vey, superintendent OF Police Black
and Chief Lutz OF the Fire Depart
ment.
Smiling Richards started on the
hill for the Cherry and White and
all he seemed 10 have was his smile
and that was knocked off. Richards
was relieved in the fourth in
ming when he was replaced
by White, who though not hit as hard
as his predecessor. was very wild
and was in hot water most OF the
time.
Pierce pitched good game for the
visitors. Weiner. Carbon and White

the fielding feature by his splendid
work at shortstop. Carton also
