While they were in the big

large followings of fair

There doesn't appear TO DO any
thing unusual about that state
mont Yet from the viewpoint OF
the umpircs in the American league
II has considerable meaning.
Once upon a time. getting hit by
a pitched ball was a favorite stunt
with many big league players. That
system is no longer popular. The
athletes much prefer TO hit the ball
than DO hit
Getting out of tho way OF n badly
pitched ball is quite IN Dirt Some
players do II gracefully. others
awkwardly. Tho point is TO con
vince the umpire that you are
really trying TO get out OF tho way.
IN GOLF, footwork plays n big
i part In the the success Of the
player. Getting distance and ac-
curacy depends as much on the
feet as the eyes and arms.
The flnt-footed boxer Is ut q
great disadvantage when pittod
against the shifty athlete.
Footwork plays an equally I'M
portant part in tho work OF the
batsman in baseball. II Is rs es-

life Of hours only. Many theories
have been put forward to account for
these remarkable distinctions, but the
one now most commonly accepted u
that the slower the creature is IN
reaching full maturity and the less
It's powers of reproduction, the great

In such an arrangement is fairly plain
even to our limited human intelli-
gence. For If such creatures as
locusts, breeding with incredible rapid

the world would be within little
while impossible for other existence
And the same result would occur did
an elephant with life of perhaps
couple of hundred years, breed IKE
