nothing can wreck . pitchers chances
any more surely than an ailing
stomach.
The first thing for any pitcher to
learn 3 control. Many . major Lacquer
has had to strive long for it. Even
Lefty Gomez. who had everything else,
didn't become the great pitcher he
has been for the last several years
until he gained almost perfect con-
troll.
This requires . great deal of prac-
tice. The best way to. get 1t is to
throw q baseball around 1t every
chance. Get the habit Of pitching to
. catcher and putting the ball wherever
he holds his mitt. Concentrate on the
spot where you want your pitch to 90.
After you have learned to control
an ordinary fast pitch. develop your
curves. To throw . curve, give the
ball spin, letting it roll of your fore
finger as your wrist gives it the final
snap. That snap makes II curve.
You can get different curves by pitch
ing overland, sidearm and underarm.
You need one more pitch, q slow
ball. Throw this by merely loosen
ing your grip - the ball leaves your
hand. Use the same delivery for this
Is for other pitches. Mix In an oc-
casional slow ball with your other
pitches, to get the batter OF balance.
The knuckle ball, gripped against the
knuckles instead Of the fingers, Is .
hne slow pitch, but hard to master.
Always take the advice of older
players. They probably can tell you
the batting weaknesses Of many Of
your opponents. They can tell, also,
if you have any mannefisms, such Is
winding up In certain ways that tell
the batter what you ase going to pitch.
Always listen to your catcher. He
will know your ability better than you
know it youseH.
Pitchers nowadays have to be pretty
good helders Learn to practice with
your inflelders. Here are few points
to remember: Cover fsst whenever
your flrst basenan Is fielding . batted
ball II there are no men on second or
third. Back up your catcher ON long
throws from the outneld. Field the
balls that are IN your territory, but
don't grab for al the grounders. Keep
your eyes open after hit, and cover
home whenever your catcher u drawn
away from the plate.

Preparations
For Cambine

IF YOU'RE going camping this sum-
mer, you'll be anxious to practice
camping as an art, and not as an &C.
cident. So you'll have to know Just
how to 60 about 1t.
OF course, there are all kinds OF
camping trips, but we're going to con-
slider some hints for the type that Is
most common. weekend trip of two
or three days. not far from home.
Tent. ground cloth. mosquito net
ting-these are the things you must
take with you from home. In addi-
,tion, you'll need one medium weight
BLANKET for each person (two for each
in the northern latitudes)an and also a
few extras.
The most important thing to con-
slider is the site of your camp Be
sure that it is in walking distance of
good drinking water. Avoid the vicin-
ity Of very big trees. which might
drop . branch on you 1t night. Pick
high ground. for 1t viii then be dry,
and the breeses blowing over it viii
keep the insects away. Be sure to
clear away al stones and snags, which
are not the most pleasant Of bed
fellows.
As for clothing, q safe rule to fol-
low Is to wear the kind of clothes YOU
customartly wear at home; but take
plenty Of them.

Use Inner Tube
For Big Bubbles

FLOWING big soap bubbles is q lot
of fun, especially If the novel
method Of blowing them by means
OF an inner tube Is used. FIJI the
inner tube with air. Remove the in
ner section Of the valve and force the
end Of length Of small rubber hose
or tubing over the end. Insert the
stem OF q clay bubble pipe In the
other end Of the hose. When you are
not using this rubber hose, hold it
closed with q spring clothespin or
clip.
Use good soap solution into which
little glycerin has been dropped.
Dip the pipe In the solution and hold
1t steadily. bowl up, on . table or
chair. Release the air from the inner
tube BY easing up on the spring clip.
Then when the bubble has formed
and Is growing nicely under . small
stream Of air. leave the clip In that
position. In this way the bubble will
grow without jarring or shaking and
reach Its maximum size.

Coin Is Shifted
In Hiding Place

BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.
HERE'S dandy trick for any party.
= = Do this little coin effect for your
friends and you'll have them all on
your hands. wanting to know just how
it's done.
Effect: The performer borrows .
coin from some member Of his audi
ence. This borrowed coin he carefully
places under his right foot.
After the usual magic words. the
magician lifts his right foot, and the
coin is nowhere to be seen. However,
he then lifts his left foot, and sure
enough, there is the coin. which Is re-
turned to its owner.
Explanation: To ease your mind \
bit, I'd better start BY saying that
there are two coins used In this effect.
The magician has placed one Of
these coins beneath his left foot g be
sits in chair. This Is done while no
one Is looking! Now the performer
calls hts audience over to his chair,
and offers to perform . trick while he
Is still sitting there.
From one Of them he borrows
coin that corresponds to the one under
his left foot. In the motion Of carry
ing the coin down to the foot, the
magician drops it into the cuf7 Of his
pants. A very easy move, and one that
will not be noticed at all II you 70
on down with your hand and seem-
ingly place the coin under your right
foot. The audience can't zee whether
or not the coin Is really placed under
the foot, 50 when you make this move
they just take 1t for granted!
From now on the operation b sim.
pie. Pronounce the magic words and
lift the right foot. Sure enough, the
coin isn't there, and when the time Is
ripe, merely lift the left foot, revealing
the coin.
:. You can return this coin, for you
still have another coin that you can
carry hidden In your trouser Gun
without fear d lnstng Il.

The persistency Of Williams in

A ND here's another idea that makes
an attractive tray. Cut piece Of
gay-colored cretonne, chintz, or any
fairly heavy material, to 1T the wood
bottom you've decided on. A piece to
match the upholstery of your porch
furniture is clever trick. Be sure to
cut 1t large enough to come down over
the edge Of the wood and cover It
completely. If your tray is round or
oval. you'll have to nick the edge to
make 1t lie nat or cut the corners on q
square or oblong one.
Glue the material securely and
smoothly in place over the wood and
let it dry thoroughly Do this before
you put In your nails or staples for the
edge.
When the glue is quite dry, add the
handle and the edge you've decided on,
Just as you did on the other trays, and
bronze or enamel 1t. Cover the bottom
Of the tray with 4 piece Of paper while
you finish the edge so as not to spot
1t. When the edge Is dry. give the
whole tray . coat or two Of spar
varnish. A bright-colored cretonne
and . silver edge give you q beautiful
tray. but you can work out any number
