Answered by
EARL SHELLY


First Bassnnan, Chicago White sox:
A man who has made good in the big
league after eight years in the minors.
Nearly every beginner who tries to
play first base has trouble in shift
ing his feet correctly. When making
a putout on a perfect throw. a right
handed first baseman should touch
the base with the right foot, stretch
Ing out with his left in the direction
from which the throw Is coming. He
will find he can reach a foot farther
by following this rule than IL he kept
the left foot on the base; and he will
always be in perfect position for a
quick throw. OF course, left-handed
man should make the same play just
the opposite; that is, the left foot on
bag, etc.
On throws to the right Of the base
keep left foot on base and step out
with the right. On throws to the left
OF bag, keep right foot on base and
stretch with the left. Form the habit
of helping every throw.

miners would be brought out alive.
The United States bu of mines
sent the car Holmes from Pittsburg,
and was prepared to order a car from
Maryland and another from southern
West Virginia. Tie states rescue
car, stationed at Fairmont, also was
sent to the scene.
The explosion occurred about three
miles back from the drift mouth.
Scores of men, women and children
soon massed on a slope facing the
entry. They stood in a drizzle of
rain, squirting on the rescuers, who
were digging franticaliy at the mass
of rock which blocked the way into
the mine.
A ray of hope for the entombed
men was given this afternoon when
rescue workers found two miners
near an airshaft. They were suf-
fering from burns and gas, and the
rescuers redoubled their efforts il

alive. The shaft was sunk only re-
