IMPORTANT WORK OF
MAN BEHIND BATTER
Catcher Should Practice Getting
Into Throwing Position.
fRv CARL LI1NDGREN, Baseball
- Gaanh I-ni,.nrsitu of IlinniS. -

(By CARL LUNDGREN, Baseball
Coach. University of Illinols.)
The catcher should practice contin-
ually getting into throwing position
rapidly, and the more practice you
can get with your mask and protector
on. the better it will be. The throw
ing position is with the weight OF the
body on the right foot, and the left
pointing in the direction in which you
want to throw, and must be assumed
very rapidly at all times When men are
on bases ready to advance. This po-
sition is usually made by means OF a
sort of a twist of the whole body at
one time that is very close to a hop
with both feet moving at the same
time, and just off the ground. The
arm is brought back as far as possible
while still keeping the bah just a little
back of the cara short arm throw
from which position the ball is thrown
by dropping the body to some extent
from under the arm. The ball must
leave the ends of both of the first w
fingers at the same time so that it VIII
carry well on the throw and will not
hook or urv
The throwing position should be as
suIned and the catcher should be alert
to throw at all times with men on
bases. Practice throwing to all bases
from behind both ~right-handed and
left handed batters. A great deal of
practice is necessary to be sure of
your throw to third base. A catcher
should forget himself and think of
nothing Except helping his pitcher as
much al he can He should work with
him in Nudging what kind of balls to
itch q the batter as he is closer to
the batter and is better able to watch
what the batter does on each pitched
ball and what ball can be used most
effectively while he is at bat. The
catcher should make a mental note of
each batter's weakness and strength
so that you know how your pitcher
should pitch to him when he comes to
bat again. Lean forward as the bat
ter steps forward and be ready to go
into the diamond on bunts or short
hits. As all plays are in front of the
catcher he should advise his team
mates on many plays. Be alive and
aggressive as all your teammates are
facing and watching you, and you a
set them a good example to follow.

Concentration Quite
Important to Golfer

For a game of its seVe,olf re-
quires an unreasonable amount
of concentration, and that's one
thing they do not sell in the golf
supply shops.
The golfer may stand on the
tee intent to concentrate at the
little white ball in front of him,
and as he gazes on ii the mental
picture he probably has is Babe
Ruth slamming out a home run.
One of the most difficult things
about the game, it would seem,
is to think about what you are
doing.

own business is pretty handy
