A Jolly party from the Augusta

A jolly party from the Augusta
Girls Community Club enjoyed a
straw ride to North Augusta on Fri
day evening. They left the club
house at 745 and returned about
1915. On their return a delicious
lunch was served by Mrs. Bridget
Springer. The lunch consisted of
hot chocolate with whipped cream
and sandwiches. The ride was very
pleasant and the only excitement
was caused when they came down
Sand Hill and the horse was unable
to keep his footing. He was able 20
regain his feet however and they
returned to the club house without
further difficulty.

PHILADELPHIA. March 21.-
Only because the. Central High
School of Washington chose to take
things easy in the second half did
the Camden Catholic basketball team
save itself from an overwhelming
defeat. The Centralites were far
too good for their opponents, the
score being 81 to IL.
Central started the game rather
slowly being content to feel out the
Camden boys. After they found
that they possessed more speed and
skill than their taller enemies the
Blue and White started the merry
doings. Hale, Dean and Moser put
the ball In from all angles. Mac.
Donald and Banta helped now and

Shortly after the start Of the third

the title. ST. Joseph's played and

George Shows Boys How to
Stretch Hits for Extra

TARPoN SPRINGS Fla. March
21.-The art of running the bases
il part Of the Sisler system Of
spring training, and George is a
master Splinter when 1t comes to
touching the inside corners Of the
sacks on his way around.
Observation showed that when a
man is running out hit, either
long or short, to be in a position to
stretch it into another base he must
touch the inside corner Of the sack
with his left foot.
That enables him to swing his
right leg sharply to the left.
straighten out and save from fifteen
to twenty feet and several seconds
Of time. Sisler showed the players
how it should be done and then
stood in the coaching box and
watched each man carefully as he
hit first base.
When a player, having lost his
stride. touched the sack with the
right hoof, Sisler would say: You
used the wrong foot. Try it again."
Herschel Bennett did not need to
be told to do it again. He repeated
the stunt several times, not because
he needed it., because he used the
right method each time, but be-
cause he wanted to perfect his
work. It seems that 1t is going to
be a difficult matter to keep the
Springfield, Mo-. speed merchant
out of the lineup this year
He is a natural bail player and is
ambitious to get somewhere in the
game.
Sisler later said that when a
player touched the inside corner
Of first base with the left foot,
swung the right over, much in the
manner Of an ice or roller skater
does, as he makes a turn, it enables
the runner to make straight dash
to second base instead Of making a
long, curving run toward right field.
Several of the veterans OF the
club admitted that Sisler performs
this feat better than any man in
the league. But this was not said
in his hearing. SisIer does not lose
patience when things are done
wrong, but shows his displeasure
by uttering "Shucks." That is the
limit OF any profanity he uses.
