the bat is heating before a fire or
steampipe, prepare handscrews or
other device by which sufficient pres
sure to bring the fracture closely to-
gether can be applied; with a thin
stick work hot glue down to the solid
wood; cold or liquid glue may be used
but 1t does not hold as well. Apply
the handscrews Immediately and al
low the glue to harden over night.
Put in screws as at c. boring with a

screw, and countersink the screw holes
so the screw heads will be flush with
the surface of the bat. Clean the
glue off of the bat and file the screw
heads flush if they project at all.
We are now ready for winding with
a fine hard fish line or similar line;
lay one end of the line at an angle
as at d. and winding closely and care
fully, and pulling the line as tight as
possible lay the line around the bat,
keeping a uniform strain as the work
progresses. Wind ten or a dozen
strands upon the line as at d, then
allow the end to come outside as at e,
winding the line closely until nearly

at the end as at f. Keep the uniform
strain upon the line and make a loop
as at g. large enough to go around the
bat a dozen times or more, making a
liberal allowances; wind these finish
ing strands. passing the loop g over
the end of the bat every time. Grasp
the end of the line at h, being careful
not to allow the last windings to slip,
and pull carefully, working out the
kinks as much as possible Is the line
is pulled through until the last strand
has been pulled smoothly into its
place; it may be necessary to have
some help In doing this.
With a sharp knife cut off the ends
of the line, being careful to cut ex-
actly between two of the windings at
the point where the line comes
through. Rub the line down with a
knife handle and it will be difficult for
the uninitiated to tell how the job has
been done.
Give the line a good coating of
shellac, two coats a day apart will be
better, and If the work has been well
done the bat will be likely to break

va Y one who has forgotten his own
boyhood can quite realize the dis
may which fills the boyish heart
Is x when a pet baseball bat has been
broken by some big fellow" who fat
ters the small boy by borrowing his
bat just to knock up one" as he
goes past a vacant lot where the
gang" IS playing. Not every one who
breaks a bat that way is man enough
to buy a new one. but cheer up, for
the Handy Boy" can fix 1t so it will
stand any blow a boy can give with 1t.
U~suaully a bat Is broken as shown
at a by striking heavily the fiat way
of the grain; such a break al be
repaired, for the long split offers good
holding for the glue. A ball should
be struck with the edge of the grain
of the bat, as shown at b, but if a bat
is broken then. usually 1t is not worth
repairing.
But about repairing the break; be
sure the surface of the break is dry
and free from dirt of every kind, and
the repair is made as quickly as pos
sible after the accident has happened.
Open the split, heat the wood so it is
perceptibly warm to the hand; while

would look for him. He and his uncle
lived alone and his uncle had gone
away for two weeks. 1t was very i'm
probable hat anyone would happen
to visit the sink hole for. as his uncle
had explained, the people were afraid
of sink holes and kept away from
to death in there.
AS he sat in the sand thinking
these gloomy thoughts, Tom was
startled by a sudden bark, followed
by an eager whining.
"Why, it's Shep!" cried Tom, spring
ing to his feet and looking UP. Good
old Shep! Guess he must have got
lonesome and followed me-"
That was what had happened and
the dog, by his joyful banks, showed
his pleasure at finding the boy.
Here was help of a sort. How could
he make use of 1t? With new courage
Tom put his wits to work.. And in a
little while he had a plan.
He hunted in the brush until he
found a forked stick. One of the
sides of the fork he cut off about four
inches from the but so hat he had
left a stick with a hook on II. He
tied one end of his rope to the end
without the hook.
Then he took his stand close to the
side of the hole that vas furthest
from what he judged to be the near
est tree. He hurled the stick with
the rope attached up and out of the
hole, aiming it towards the tree as
well as he could.
Fetch the stick, Shep!" cried the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-08

he had fallen. He found 1t a trap,
indeed. The smooth. straight walls
offered no foothold by which he
might climb out. The caverns open
ing out of the hole were full of I'M
known dangers. That they offered an
avenu of escape was so improbable
that 1t would have been folly to have
plunged into them, leaving the sink
hole definitely behind. But he did
find in one of the caverns a quantity
of dead tree limbs of small size that
had been washed there by the streams
pouring into the sink hole.
He thought of binding these sticks
together to make a pole by which he
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-08

DOys
This was a game that the dog I'M
derstood M enjoyed. He brought the
stick pack to the edge of the hole ana
at Toms command dropped 1t down.
The first attempt had been a failure.
But after four more attempts of
the same sort Toms plan worked. In
stead of bringing back the stick on
the same side of the tree on which 1t
fell, Shep circled the tree and brought
it back on the other side. dragging the
rope aroun the tree after him.
When he dropped the stick this
time it did not fall far into the hole.
But Tom was prepared for that. He
spliced together a number of branches,
tying them with his shoestrings, until
he had a long slender rod also with a
hook on it. This he reached up and
caught in the hook on the end of the
stick attached to the rope.
"Hurrah!" cried the lad. "Shep.
you're a brick!'
The rest was plain sailing. Tom
drew the stick down to him, united the
/ end of the ROPE and looped it around
the main strand in a running bowline.
Then he hauled AVA on the rope
until he felt his bowline pull snug
against the tree. Then he went up
hand over hand. And he did no more
exploring that day.
When he left Florida that fall to
! return home Tom took Shepherd with
him.
He's a handy dog to have around"
said Tom to his sympathetic uncle.

Caught in a Sink Hole

Are there any near here?"
There's a rather small n three
miles south in the middle of Devils
Woods"
Tom said no more at the time, but
his curiosity was aroused and he re-
solved to visit this sink hole and see
for himself what it was like.
His opportunity did not come until
his uncle went north to bring his fam
lily down 10 the new Florida home,
With his uncle away Tom had more
time to himself. One afternoon when
there was little to do he hung a coil
of rope over his shoulder and set out
to find the sink hole in Devils Woods.
He left Shepherd, his uncle's watch
dog, TO guard the farm. No one knew
Of his going.
Tom found the sink hole easily
enough by following the dry bed of a
water course that ran through the
woods. As he had suspected he would
from what his uncle had told him he
found that this water course ended in

down TO Florida to spend the

WV Frank get an orange planta-

hear anything about the sink holes
common in central and southern
parts Of the State. Then he began 10
hear people refer briefly and vaguely
to them. His curiosity was aroused.
What is a sink hole, Uncle Frank? ?"
he asked.
IT'S a hole that surface water
wears through the limestone rock
down 10 the underground streams"
answered his uncle. This country is
all underlaid by limestone. It's a sort
of rock that is easily dissolved by wa
ter and through the ages the streams
on the surface of the ground have
pe~rcolated down through the rock
and worn underground channels. The
holes where the surface water goes

I That opening in the ground may not
have been large in comparison with
many of the sink holes. but it was a
good size hole. eve so. Tom judged
it to be about thirty feet deep and
ten feet in diameter. It was almost
perfectly round and the sides were
smooth and vertical. At the bottom,
which was covered with sand. he
could see the opening of lateral tun-
nels through which water that flowed
into the hole escaped. It was these
tunnels hat Tom meant to explore.
AS the boy was peering over the
brink he was suddenly startled by a
vicious whirring noise almost at his
feet. He had not been in Florida very
long but he had learned what that
sound meant. As he leaped to one

could climb to the surface but he
soon found thai there was not nearly
enough of the driftwood to form a
pole thirty feet long and of sufficient
strength to bear his weight.
Then he set himself to think of a
way by which he could use his rope.
If only he could get one end OF it
fastened to something outside the
hole! But though the trees grew so
close about the hole hat he could see
their branches he could not figure out
any way by which he could get the
rope tied to one of them.
His situation was pretty serious. No
one knew he was there and no one

side instinctively his eyes fell upon a
huge rattle snake coiled to strike.
But he escaped one danger only to
fall into another. He had jumped
blindly and he landed on the very
edge of the sink hole. For an instant
he toppled there and then plunged
downward.
The coil Of rope that he still had
over his shoulder and the soft sand
at the bottom of the hole saved him
from broken bones. But he was badly
stunned and for many minutes he lay
there hardly stirring.
As he became more himself he got
up and examined the trap into which
