 ROAD, NEW BRIDGE SITES

The survey men noticed at work along the Seward-Kenai lake highway are employees from the crew of R. Van Loon, chief of road surveys, Bureau of Public Roads, who last Saturday arrived in the city from Hope-Sunrise where that work is now fully com pleted. MT. Van Loon said yester- day he and his crew will be engaged on the local highway for the next ten days surveying new bridge sites. When this work is completed, about November 27, he will depart for Ju- neau, Alaska headquarters of the de- partment.
 Two of the crew with him are local men, Sam Estes and Jack Bateman. The other two chaps are c. F. Wool CT and Clayton Canterbury. These latter two will depart for the South at the same time MT. Van Loon leaves.

CARLARIS MUST DO
UNUSUAL In DERBY

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Carlaris,
w. T. Anderson's 3-year-old, which
captured the Croffroth Handicap yes
terday at Tijuana by eight lengths,
faces a severe task in the kentucky
Derby if racing precedent is to be re-

The colt was imported from Eng
land and only once in history has an

the Churchill Downs classic. That
was in 1916 when A. X. Macomber's 8
star Hawk ran second to George
Smith.

been purchasedb by Anderson for $6,5OO,

fayorites in the Derby after winning
the Tijuana handicap, the Coffroth

records.

the best mark in the Derby having
been registered by Old Rosebud IN
1914.
Carlaris, with Munden astride, ran
away with the Coffroth and finished

place horse, Roycrofter. Cherry Tree,
three-ti entrant in the event, was
third and Princess Doreen, ridden by
Earl Sande, seventh. Carlaris paid
81, $420 and $500. The race was
worth $70,700 to the winner.

"The best position is to grip the
bat with the left hand few inches
from the end and right hand two or
three inches above left. For left
handlers the reverse, of course. The
right hand then guides the bat and
the left steadies it. The force comes
from both right and left fOrearms.
when the grip is right the muscles
respond correctly and the body CO.
operates naturally. You don't need
to brace the body and take a foot
hold. The poise is easy and you're
ready to meet the ball.
For the choke grip grasp the bat
six inches or more from the handle
with the left hand, with right hand
above left. Hold it firmly but not
too tight. And on a bunt or slow
hit be sure to loosen the grip. The
firmer the grip the farther the ball
goes.

slippery. Stop and dry hands or

OF course, the boy of this day es-
capes much of that because he has
the fine skates that are attached to
shoes. In earlier times they did not
have such fine skates on shoes. In
deed, the boy who had a pair of club
skates-skates that went on with a
heelplate and key to lock them-was
a mighty lucky boy. More of the
youngsters had nothing better than
the old-time wooden skates, at which
boy nowadays would be inclined to
turn up his independent little nose.
These skates screwed into the heel.
In the old days boys did not like to
skate with straps over their ankles
They thought when they put the
straps around the instep that they
retarded their speed, and if they
strapped them up too tightly they
surely did not add to their speed.
This skating remedy is being
brought forward to suggest to this
boy out in Michigan that If he would
wear ankle braces they might help
him quite little. Perhaps it would
not be best to wear the very strong
ankle braces that the professionals
wear, because when a professional

Without any hesitancy, Koenig,
who will play short for the Yankees,
can be labeled the best infield find
of the American League this year. If
he holds UP and avoids accident good
ness only knows how many games he
will turn into the hopper that escaped

Koenig is tall, to begin with. The
taller the infelders the better, II they
are adapted in other ways, to what is
needed.
This new shortstop goes to his
right very well. That means he
can get over ground toward third
base. He goes to his left equally
we'll. 1t is essential that he go to his
left because there is a new player
like himself at the second base job.
Fine, Growing Ball Player.
Koenig is a graceful, rowing, easy
shortstop, who does things with hands
which are broad and ample and with
buoyant air suggestive of the man
whose joints are creased with olive
oil. He can throw, too. He is a fine,
growing ball player. not too far along
in years TO be worth anything to the
Yanks only briefly, and capable of
putting the team into the mid-ribs

puts on an ankle brace he is sure to
have a very bothersome ankle and
one that needs something strong to
hold his feet in line.
They usually are close knit and
give" but little. Their intent is to
hold the ankle firmly no matter how
much strain the professional puts
upon it, and it must be remembered
that when q professional ball player
is sliding to bases he throws all his
muscular effort into the leap, or slide,
and that he must have firm bracing
If he doesn't he is likely to turn an
ankle on the base or in catching his
spikes in the ground. Some profess
sional players with good ankles wear
braces as a safeguard more than be-
cause they need them for strengthen
ing purposes. Usually they are the
better base stealers.
When a boys ankles bother him
braces will not come amiss. He may
receive so much assistance that after
awhile he will not need them.
Straps Are Unsatisfactory.
Don't put a strap over the ankle.
1t is a very bad policy to follow. A
strap and its buckle always are dan
gerous to the wearer and to the base
man if the boy jumps into base feet
foremost. There is not enough sup
port in a strap. Indeed, 1t is so de-
void of the right kind of support that
it is likely to do more harm than
good. An old trainer of walkers says
walking is good for weak ankles
firm, heeland-toe walking tried every
day and not to excess.
If were the boy with weak ankles
I would not try much sliding to bases.
1t is fraught with mischief. Nor
would 1 give up base ball. although
perhaps 1 would play it moderately,
looking for it to bring good results.
