A little red coaster wagon, which
he had purchased for his children,

upon the total yield of the pool and
to prevent other great losses which
arise from flush flows due to periodic

announced that it will have its sew.
enty-seven. home games this yeal
broadcast. The club has not been
a big moneymaker in recent years
and now turns to the air to arouse
the interest of former and some new

and the club always can fill ur on
Sundays.
The Cincinnati officials figure
that the report on the air Of the
games will win back thousands of
old fans, while new ones will be-

audience will want to see what the

interested will take in several games

have mentioned starting the
hands and arms directly down
ward. You might add to that
the thought that you will let
your hands start directly down
t ward the ground, swinging
forward, and then will direct
them toward your left knee
rather as if you meant to make
your hands touch the left knee
as they passed it. This is a
very good practice as it keeps
the arms in close to the body.
Also doing that will make you,
automatically keep your body
back, which is a good thing.
And remember that the least
hurrying of the club, on your
part, will result in arm and wrist
stiffness, and that this stiffness
will bring about just the oppo-
site result. 1t will slow and
