Base Ball for Boys

When you play one of these posi-

of it quickly to the infield where
there is some chance of making a
put-out
Eight times out of ten 1t is the
duty Of fielder to peg the ball to
second upon recovering it. This is
done because if 1t is a very long
throw the second baseman will have
to relay it; If it is a single. the ball
goes to second to prevent the base
runner from advancing to that sack
Develop That Arm.
Playing in the field means that you
must have a throwing arm. Develop
it's throwing power by heaving a ball
over distances, slowly at first, grad
ually increasing the speed and dis

field and stand in one place forever.

poor ball club. Watch your opposing

yourself useful as an outfielder. be-

crows nest was also developed in the
middle ages. During naval battles
d man would be sent up to the top
of the mast to shoot arrows at the
enemy.
One peculiar feature of the vessels
of the middle ages was their sails
instead Of being dropped on the desk
as is done on sailing ships today, the
sail was furled in the riggings, and TO
open it required that man go aloft
to release the ropes so that the can
vas would drop in place.
Go On Long Voyages.
Primarily the middle ages are noted
for their great advances in naviga-
ton. 1t was during this period that
the compass came into general use,
as well as a school for the training,
of new sailors. The results were
astounding. Ships sailed around the
Cape of Good Hope, to India, and
other far-off countries.
The sailors of the middle ages
taught us also the need of carrying
extra sails and supplies. On long
voyages they often carried thirteen
sails and the same number of steer
ing oars. Sailors of those days We're
not easily daunted.
