PRACTICAL HINTS ON
FIELDING FLY BALLS
Player Should Not Try to Time
Flight so as Barely to
Make the Catch.
(By CARL LUNDGREN, Baseball Coach.
University of Illinois.)

(By CARL LUNDGREN. Baseball Coach
University of Illinois.)
In fielding fly balls a player should
get under the ball as fast as possible
and should not try to time the flight
SO as barely to get to the ball. The
reason for this is that If the man In
question misjudges the direction and
speed Of the ball, If he gets there in
plenty of time he will have an oppor-
tunity to shift SO as still to get under
1t.
In catching fly balls the felders
should learn to catch them with palms
up or with the palms up and the
thumbs together. The first is usually
the safer method. but it is well to
practice both.
The following points should be con-
sidered In catching fly balls: In run
ming to the spot where the ball will
fall, run with the arms at the side,
Splinter fashion, as this is the best
method of carrying the arms when
running. That Is, the hands should
not be carried in the air In q position
of readiness for catching the ball
while the fielder is running. When
the ball hits the glove the receivers
hands should be relaxed and should
give a little with the impact Of the
ball against the glove.
An outfelder should TURF and run
back as fast as he can to catch a ball
over his head. He should not attempt
to keep his eye on the ball while he
is running, as this will slow him up.
1t is a difficult matter to catch the fly
balls, in this manner, but a good out
fielder should be able to do it.

M~aoeIlanic Clouds.

Magellanic clouds are two cloudy
masses Of light, oval in shape and In
equal in size, seen at night In the
heavens, in the vicinity Of the South
pole. They are supposed to be nebu-
lac, or dense aggregations Of stars, so
far distant as to give to the unaided
eye the impression Of c~loud-like
masses. They cover areas Of about
40 and 10 square degrees respectively,
and are so named In honor Of Ferdi-
nand Magellan, the great Portuguese
navigator, who first observed them in
1920. during. his voyage around the
world.

Mr.. Borden had previously wired

From the Carson Appeal comes
the information that the Ely pro-

the $4,000 estimated by the en-
gineer.
The new bids are to be opened
September 10. it being proposed to
start work i'll the fewest possible
days thereafter. In his letter Mr.,
Borden says:
I'VE had hoped to hasten work
by the combination which we first
made, but in view OF the lateness
of the year we are going to insist
on faster work and probably a lit
tie more cost, so that Ely will not
be discommoded any more than

the county cut off the $50O,000,

about right. There is sort of
complication about this to an out
slider, but it appears to be clear to

Something of unusual richness

rumored to have been struck with
in the past few days at Hamilton.
The scene of the reported strike is
given as the Ne Plus Ultra group,
belonging to the Bambergers ,of
Salt Lake, and it is part Of the
story that an en,issary from the
mine has gone thence to deliver in
formation about the showing and
make suggestions as to develop
ments
Inquiry last evening brought
forth positive denials that such
could have happened, but it is ad-
mitted that the workings are near
ing the ledge and that it looks ex-
ceedingly favorable for Just the
kind of strike that has been men
toned, which is that of 60 per
cent copper to start off with. Louis
Liant is leasing there.
Copper has not figured in the
past productions Of Hamilton, it
having been better known as a sill
