every bit Of it.
The lion has learned from expert
ence to fear hunters and he will lie
notionless for a long time in the
underbrush to avoid having to fight
them. When he is attacked he will
stand a great deal Of disturbance,
and even pain. watching for chance
to escape. If there is no way OF
escaping, however, he will fight
madly, and the unlucky hunter who
is unable to kill him soon enough is
at his mercy.
If man meets lion when he has
no gun or means of defense, the best
way for him to avoid attack is TO
stand still and look brave. even
| though the lions cleaning eyes and
snarling red mouth make him shake
with fear. To avoid any dispute. the
lion will walk peacefully away. but
if he thinks the hunter is afraid and
is trying to escape. Mr.. Lion bristles
! his name and feels very important
and courageous and will attack the
! man.
| Because of his habit of hunting a,
! night. it is believed that the lion has
very keen eyesight.

Control Important.

Control is absolutely necessary II
a pitcher is to amount TO anything.
1t can be developed only by practice.
Keep on throwing a particular type
of ball until YOU cal place it where
you want it. DO this with all your
different curves until YOU can control
one as we'll as another.
A boy pitcher needs. too. 70 know
how to change his pace. 1t is a
pitchers best trick to fool 4 batter
often better than assorted curves.
Throw two or three fast balls TO a
batter and then when he isn't expect

ally fools him.

Pitch Curves Two Ways.

Every pitcher must experiment for
himself as TO what are the most sat

curves may be thrown in two ways
with the full armtSnotion or by the
wrist snap. The full arm motion is
preferable for most pitchers and tires
the arm less.
Your curves have an intimate re-

They must be controlled. and chang
