This happened in Russia. And all the Russians
became the dupes of Stain, who joined Hitler
while Hitler's curses of Communism were still
echoing in his controlled German newspapers.
They've starved, stood in line, marched to their
deaths in dastardly and c%owardly conquests, those
Russians. They've known no liberty. They've lost
what little chance they had to gain the worlds
respect-all because they didn't know.

funds. and this probably will mean
that the general fund will have to
stand ON it's own feet, without any
assistance from highway levles.
At the same time, however, gen.
eral fund receipts may be reduced
by taking the sales tax off food
for consumption; and general fund
expenditures may be increased by
the establishment of a retirement
fund.
Also, state agencies and institu-
tons, appearing recently before
the advisory budget commission,
asked for record-breaking appro-
priations from the legislature.
School expenditures are expect
ed to increase $500, 900 a year, be-
cause of normal salary incre-
ments, even if the salary schedule
of teachers is not increased. The
state school commission, however,
is asking for a salary increase for
teachers.
So the old problem of where
to find the money" will be with

Ziggy Sears flashed the safe sign. As
players from both teams swarmed
around the plate and thousands OF
fans howled glectully. we wondered
how many of those fans had enjoyed
the full excitement of that play --
how many of them had figured out
the problems that faced both pitcher
and batter, and watched to see how
each dealt with those problems.
Up to now I've said a lot about the
pitcher and batter But there are nine
defensive positions and nine men in
the batting order. Let me suggest that

well as pleasure. you make practice
of watching one position. and one
only, for several innings at stretch.
Set your sights. say. on the third base
man, and watch nothing but the way
he handles himself Watch what he
does on plays he isn't even in. Watch
how he varies his fielding position to
meet different situations. See the en-
tire play of the game as the third base
man participates in it, or is prepared

Then switch over to the first baseman.
or the left fielder. and keep at it until
you've studied each position.
On each play each man has an
assignment. one he may not be called
on to execute twice season. yet
should he miss it. the oversight might
cost a ball game. Fate has a way of
these mistakes count in pen

we put the blame either on the throw

or on the third baseman tor failing to

have to charge the error in one OF
