and collisions in the outf1eld.
As a starter, I am going to tell
you boys something about the hit
and-run play. One Of my good
friends among the baseball writer's,
the late Bill Hanna, always insisted
1t should be called the run and hit
play
1.-THE man on first starts to run
before the BAH is hit" Bill used to
argue, and the argument ended
right there. He was ABSOLUTELY right.
TINE idea is chiefly to break up
4 a double play by having the
runner so far on his way that he
can not be forced at second base
If the batter hits on the ground. An
advantage found in this play is that
the defense partly is broken up be-
fore the ball is hit, as either the
second baseman or the shortstop
must be on his way to cover the
bag.
It's a good play against a pitcher
with control who usually has the
ball near the plate. Against a
pitcher who is wild it isn't so easy.
The reason is simple. The first and
most important rule Of that play
concerns the batter He always
must get a piece Of the ball
That is the big league way of say
ing that he must touch the ball
with his bat, if only to foul it, when
this play is being made. That pre-
vents the catcher from throwing out
the runner at second. Under TO
conditions should the batter let the
ball go by him without trying to
hit 1t. Try to hit the ball whether
1t is inside, outside, high or low.
nNCE the hitter and runner have
~ the sign that the play is on,
the runner must keep going unless
he learns the ball is in the air.
Then he must hurry back to avoid
a double play Otherwise he must
run and the batter must hit.
When is it best to use the play?
When a slow runner is at the plate,
one who is likely to be doubled if
he hits the ball on the ground. I
don't advise using it when a fast
man is at the plate. Try straight
away hitting then, as he probably
can beat a relay if the runner is
forced at second base.
Do not figure that you must use
this play on the first pitched ball.
It Is better to fake a steal before
trying it. This will show the bat
ter whether the second basenan or
the shortstop is going to cover sec
ond base.
Once he finds this out, the batter
can swing fast or slow, so that the
ball will go toward the place which
the player has left. The perfect
hit-and-run play shows a ball go
ing through the spot which player
has left.
Try to outguess the pitcher. He
sometimes breaks up the play by
pitching so far from the plate that
the batter can't reach the ball. Get
him in a position where he can't
afford to throw one wide. Above all,
If you are the base runner, make
sure that the batter knows you
are running. II you are the hitter,
make sure you get piece of that
BAH.

Famed Speed D1iUer Is
Stung. by the Air Bug
Deacon Litz Flies Most of
Time He's Away From
Gasoline Way
BY NORMAN E. IsAACs

You would think that a fellow
who sits behind the wheel Of race
car and pilots it around the cham
pionship tracks of the nation at
giddy speeds would be satisfied with
doing 100 and more miles an hour.
Not so with Deacon Litz, Penn
sylvania giant, who handles a race
car at 100 miles an hour easier than
you twist yours around at fifteen.
Deacons got the air bug" and
if the weather gets so bad he can't
go up" the big fellow just sits
around his garage and moons over
his tough luck.
For Deacon is in the skies nearly
all of the time he's not on Mother
Earth. And most of the time he's
not in the air he's in a race car,
a big grin on his face as the wind
whistles by-at 100 miles an hour.
"The Faster the Better"
"Its the only way to travel" says
the Du Bots, Pa, speed merchant,
and Just as soon as a race is over
why just pack up the old iron (rac-
ing jargon for automobile) and send
it on. Then fly. That's all there is
to it."
Litz has been wheeling race cars
for years and he's a drivers driver.
That is to say that he can match
hub caps with anybody in the bust
ness, no matter how fast the gait is.
Deacon took to the air little
more than a year ago and they
haven't been able TO get him down
on earth for any reasonable length
Of time since.
why come down." says Deacon,
that's the life up there. Except may
be when there's a race on or some
thing"
Besides being fier and a race
driver, the huge Litz-all 220 pounds
of hints movie actor, to boot.
Haven't you ever heard the story?
He's the Movie Hero
Several years ago when the movie
company from Hollywood invaded
indianapolis to make their racing
picture at the Speedway, who but
Deacon was chosen to double" for
the hero?
All the pre-scenes were taken
showing the hero bedecked in spot
less white, tinkering with Deacon's
beautiful white racing job. Mr..
Litz was on the sidelines.
Came race day and Deacon be-
came the hero. With the movie
cameras grinding away, Litz shot
out in front Of the pack at a dizzy
speed and stayed out there for miles
and miles and miles.
Perhaps you saw the picture.
Well, the "hero" in white CALAMITY
plotting that gasoline buggy around
the mammoth Indianapolis track
was none other than Mr.. Deacon
Litz of Du Bots, Pa, actor. flier,
race driver.

 The door was slammed shut and in nearby window appeared the | swollen face of 10-year-old Helen Spierling. the victim of the disease.
 The Rev Bohi and his congrega- ton retreated to confer with Sher- i If Lester Tiffany of Lake county, who was on hand to preserve peace and harmony.
 The sheriff advised procuring a warrant to expediate services in the church. and stressed the fact that humps was a communicable dis ease
 Some of the parishioners sug- sestcd holding services in the yard, but this was vetoed because of the mud and the noise of the sound reel cameras and their operators.
