1T WASN'T the Fourth Of July
i or anywhere near 1t, but
Chinaman who runs a laun.
dry near US had given Bobby
some firecrackers and several
rockets. Because, you know, the
Chinese shoot off firecrackers on
all kinds of occasions. The
Fourth Of July means nothing in
their calendar, naturally, and
even if it did, they wouldn't wait
for It,
Bobby was delighted and came
running home with a broad grin
on his little face.
OF course, he had to shoot some
of those firecrackers off, and
when evening came he decided to
shoot off a skyrocket.
Out on the lawn he went. and
/ lit it for him and up it went.
What makes that rocket go
up in the sky like that, Foxy
Grandpa?" asked Bobby, as his
blue eyes followed the fiery path
Of the rocket.

The trees were regular concert

big beauty fitted across our

They're always hungry and on

They're very fierce fellows, 700,
Bobby. They eat every small in
sect which comes within ;helr

and with a sudden thrust of her
arm, planted the pup under the
pile of wet clothes in the basket
just as the superintendent ap-
peared on the scene with small
switch under one arm.
Mamie was trying to be casual.
Mrs. Martins keen eyes surveyed
the rest Of her charges busily
washing at the tubs, To all ap-
pearances Mamie was the only
idler there.
Come on, you lazy thing. and
go to work" said the matron,
transferring the switch to one
hand.
Eyes. ma am" said Mamie
obediently. II fell down."
Having escaped punishment so
far, she raised the basket, now
heavier than before by the weight
of the dog, and made a heroic
effort to get to the yard with it.
All was going well when the
pup himself added a new element
of uncertainty to the situation;
being cooped up in a basket of
wet clothes is not the pleasant
est Of environments; he began to
bark loud and hard.
Mrs. Martin looked around;
there was no dog visible and Ell
mer had discreetly vanished on
her arrival
Motorcycle Ride.
Mamie trembled and then be-
gan to cough; louder and harder
than she had ever coughed be-
fore she coughed now; she got
red in the face and all while pro-
ceeding as rapidly as possible
toward the door.
Perhaps Mrs. Martin did not
have a well trained ear. but at
any rate Mamie managed to
reach the yard without discovery.
Once there she dropped the
basket with a sigh OF relief, and
the dog, having worked his way
toward the top of his prison,
emerged and shook himself.
If Mamie had not been full Of
the joy Of life in spite OF all eff
forts at repression, she might not
have cast an eager eye on Ell
mer's motor bicycle standing in
vitingly by while it's owner was
distributing groceries at the
kitchen door,
Mamie forgot the basket and
the clothes and the dog and
mounted the wheel. Elmer had
left the engine running and all
it needed to start it was a press
ure on the handle. Mamie sup
piled that and began to move
while Elmer emerging from the
kitchen door shouted in alarm to
her to stop. Mamie heard but
could not heed. The machine
scanned to gather Roadway and
nothing she could do would slow
it. She tried to steer it but her
efforts were not entirely success
full: 1t began to execute strange
curves and in its wild course
ran several times under the

white garments and ripped them
from their mornings.
Headed for Street.
Mrs. Martin hearing the tumult
rushed to the yard and beheld
a sight she never forgot. Mamie
was riding the cycle and :he
cycle was behaving like a buck

Martin, but Mamie had no power
to stop. Elmer was chasing after
her and the dog was wild with
delight.

Footwork and Players
Trick of BaSe-Stealing

| Where, then, lay the trouble?
The answer Is in his footwork Two
small mistakes in running were in.
strumental in putting him out by a
very small margin.
In the first place, he was just a
little slow in starting-only a matter
Of seconds, perhaps, but enough to
lose him the decision in a close play
Again, in turning first base, he lost a
step by turning the base on the wrong
foot.
To the average follower Of the game
these points may not seem very i'm.
portant. but they are among the, de-
Gliding factors that win or lose games.
Learn to get quick start after
hitting the ball. Practice this start as
runner practices for a race. Make
sure that you get off on the correct
foot each time, as the wrong foot
causes you to lose a step and may
decide whether or not you reach first
base.
In turning a base in order to run to
the next, learn to pivot or turn on the
left foot, touching the bag on the side
toward which you run. This will give
you the correct balance after making
the turn, and eliminate chances for
losing a step in your stride.
Another most important place in
the game in which footwork is a de-
Gliding factor is base-stealing. Many
an otherwise fast runner Is poor at
base-stealing because of his falling to
| get the jump ON the pitcher. This
requires fast start at just the right
moment.
Runners like Max Carey, Frank
F'risch and Archdeacon, with a long
| list Of stolen bases to their credit, are
experts at Knowing when to start
the play and at getting away with all
| the speed they possess.
| My advice to young players anxious
to develop correct footwork is to
spend plenty of time learning to start
quickly and in using the correct foot
when turning bases. Also 1t is a good
| plan to take such exercise as will de-
velop the chest and give you more
wind. Long walks and practice runs
will be very valuable for this.
