NELS MOE HOT
AFTER JACK REDDICK

The following article was taken
from a Moose Jaw newspaper and is
of interest to the people of Plenty
wood who are well known with the
Sheridan county man:
"Nels Moe, one of the best known
athletes in Western Canada, and a
specialist at boxing and wrestling,
has established permanent headquar-
ters and residence in Moose Jaw,
and is willing to meet all corners.
Two years ago Moe was recognized
as one of the outstanding graphing
champions of the country, but has not
wrestled here since 1928. His acti-
vity has been confined since that
time to the other squared ring pas
time-boxing.
Moe rides the rail at 1T pounds,
claims to be in first class condition
and certainly looks it.
Following a battle at Melville, he
hopes to go after bigger game and
has in mind Jack Reddick or Bob
Fox, either of whom would probably
make a suitable opponent.

a long time. The game finally end
ed with a score of 10 to 6 in favor
of the browns.
AS soon as the girls game was
finished the Town team and High
School boys came onto the floor ana
began warming up. From the start
it was plain to be seen that the Town
team had it on the boys for size ana
weight, but the boys made up for
size by extra speed but could not
keep up the pace set by their heavi-
er opponents. The game was fast
and rough and numerous fouls were
called, but the roughness. was most
ly caused by awkwardness which is
usual result of the first game OF
the season until the players become
accustomed to handling themselves
upon the floor.
; The High School team had two
new players this year, having lost
Marsh and Mitchell last year, and be-
ing the first game of the season, the
new players naturally had a touch

It is true that many hints may be
given and taken as to how to play
pall well. but better than hints. it Is
"a good idea to practice a lot In order
to come as nearly as possible to per-
fection. If the boy who wants to
play ball will take plenty of rest be-
tween games and will not play until
his arm gets lame, and his feet are
sore, and his fingers feel all numbed
up and bunged up, he will not be
much in need of physical advice.
Eat Only Plain Food.
OF course, boys should not eat lot
of rich stuff, or sweets, II they wish
to play ball well, because both have a
tendency to upset the stomach, and
any boy who has stomach which
gives him trouble will be In distress,
although base ball itself often is the
very best thing to help correct indi.
gestion
There is no set process for training
to become batsman. Practice is
the chief essential, and first of all he
must find a bat which suits him. II
you have a bat which balances well
and which swings In the hand like a
toothpick" you will have something
which Is as good as about six lessons
in batting.
Never get hold Of bat to use per.
manently which is SO heavy at the
end that it swings like q big lump
Of lead. The theory that ( the ball
Is batted 1t will go farther because
the bat Is heavy Is all tommyrot. You
must swing a bat perfectly If you
wish to get proper and accurate &C.
ton on the ball. If the bat Is a l"ad
in bringing 1t around to meet the
ball and takes nearly all the strength
that you have in Jour arms. you can
not expect to drive the ball. Now
and then a swiftly pitched bill VIII
hit a heavy bat and the ball will re-
bound a long distance. The boy then
may think he has made big hit, but
he hasn't. 1t was the ball that made
the hit on it's own account, because 1t
could not get out Of the way of the
bat.
often / have seen boy ball players
stagger up to the plate with tar
which was heavy enough for a
grown man-ounces and ounces too
heavy-and try to swing 1t against the
pitching Of their companions. The
pitching was hardly that Of Walter
Johnson, yet It was far too much for
the boy who was trying to hit safely
with bat in his hands that was bear
ing him to the ground.
Indian Clubs Helpful.
The nearest thing to actual train
ing to become good batsman is to
swing Indian clubs of moderate
weight. The professional ball player
who goes to the home plate swinging
two bats in his hand does so because
he wishes to timber up his shoulders,
which is what the Indian clubs are
for, and also because he wants to
make one bat feel light when he has
discarded the other.
The greatest aid to batting aside
from a good swing with a we'll tal-
anced bat is to be able to see well.
Remember that 1t isn't the biggest
boy who can hit the ball farthest. The
kid a little smaller with a keen eye
and bat to flt him viii lift as many
over the fence as the big chap Who
Is carrying a bat bigger than himself.
