Backing Up Plays.
If ball is hit to the outfield
and you anticipate play at the
plate, move out on the diamond. Try
TO take the relay on the fly if the
throw is good, so you'll be in posi-
tion to tag the runner. Don't at
tempt any shoestring catches, Of
course
Backing up plays at first and third
is among the catcher's most impor-
tant duties. That play is the ear
mark of a polished receiver. The
maneuver is particularly important
on plays at first. but in either case
you'll cut of lot of runs and extra
bases if you cover the plays. The
pitcher should cover the plate if the
catcher goes down to back up third.
The catcher is the general of the
ball club. He has to spot weak
nesses in opposing batters, give the
pitcher his signs, hold base runners
safely close to the sacks and handle
multitude of other jobs, depend
ing upon how closely the manager
runs the team on the field. Some
catchers shift the infielders and out
fielders according to the situation of
the game and the batter at the
plate and generally run the team.
It's tough job, taking both en-
durance and intelligence. But it's
the most wide-open job in baseball,
and one that pays a lot of dividends.
And don't forget, when things get
tough, that, no matter what the diff
ficulties of the position, the catcher
has a better view of the game than
any one else on the field.

Uncle Rays
Corner
By RAMON COFFMAN.

The goddess of love and beauty
was called Aphrodite by ancient
Greeks, but Romans called her
Venus, and she is better known by
that name. The most beautiful
planet in the sky is called Venus in
honor of the goddess.
Many stories were told Of Venus.
One of these describes the help she
gave a youth named Hippomenes,
who wanted to win the hand OF a
princess.
The princess was named Atalanta,
and she was said to be more swift
footed than any other person on
earth.
For reasons Of her own, Atalanta
did not wish to be married. There
were many suitors. but she put them
off by saying, Il shall not marry any
man unless he can defeat me in a
race"
Wishing to marry the princess,
Hippomenes first went TO ask the aid
of Venus. From a tree which bore
golden apples. the goddess picked
three and gave them to him, saying
that he should take them to the
place where the contest was to be
held.
When Atalanta saw the young
man. she tried to prevent him from
racing with her, saying: "As you
know. the penalty is death If you
lose. and do not want you to lose
your life. You are fair youth"
Despite the warning, the suitor
insisted on testing his skill. The race
started, and in a moment Atalanta
was ahead. Then Hippomenes tossed
one of the golden apples in front of
her. She paused to stoop down and
pick it up. This permitted the young
man to pass her. When she again
sped ahead Of him, he tossed out
another apple with the same result.
The third golden apple was thrown
in front of Atalanta just before she
reached the goal, causing her to
pause third time and lose the race.
Hippomenes and the princess were
married.

Sistant editor.
That first issue was distributed
10 three friends of ours, two living
IN the neighborhood and the other
a former resident who had moved
to Hoopeston, Ill. We typed 1t,
using about three sheets of carbon
paper under the master copy. IL
had three pages, containing eight
news items and a variety Of other
material. including puzzles, notices
Joke, a poem and two comic
strips. Boy, were we proud OF 1t!
But the Flash has come a long
vav since then. Now it is printed
by the hectograph method. The
hectograph is jellylike, evil
smelling substance made OF car
penter's glue. glycerin, sugar and
water. This mixture is heated and
then poured into a shallow pan and
allowed to CONCEAL. A special carbon
must be used to make the master
CODY. This is laid face down on the
hectoeraph and additional copies
are made from 1t.
The Flash now has IS subscribers
and they are not confined to the
immediate neighborhood. Some OF
them are in the District Of Colum-
hia California, Illinois, Michigan
and Oregon.
We have a special correspondent
In England, also one In Washington
and another on the West Coast.
All three of them send US in
teresting articles on wartime con-
ditions in their communities.
Glancing back over the hles OF
the Flash, / have just come across
the Christmas issue. On page l is
an article, The Peace OF Scotland,
BY our English correspondent;
another entitled 'Duluth's Part IN
National Defense" by . former
subscriber In the Ohio city, and
still another on christmas Eve IN
Washington" by Bertha S. Moore,
our Capital correspondent.
This number also contains an
editorial dn story form on the
meaning of Christmas eve IN war
time England, the first chapter OF
an original story entitled SKI
Trails" a legend headed Grey
Monastery" several news items, two
poems and two comics. But most
thrilling of all, to me at least, Is
an article telling how the editor OF
the Flash became a correspondent
of The Junior Star.
So far I have had two articles
accepted by The Junior Star. Both
of these we're displayed, along with
back copies of the Flash, in hobby
show at my school. AS q result OF
these articles I was invited by the
editor Of the Westerner, Boy Scout
publication, to do a piece encourag-
ing boys to 60 to camp.

How to Make a Whistle

shown in figure l Of the accom-
panying sketch.
Now cut a ring in the bark. al
around the stick, about an inch
from the notch. Beat the bark
gently with your knife to loosen
it sufficiently to permit you to twist
it off. Be very careful in removing
the bark so as not to split it. This
step is illustrated in figure 2.
Next, cut a piece from the stick
as shown in figure 8. This will
provide a channel through which
to blow when you have replaced
the bark. In returning the bark
do not push it quite so far back as
it was originally. A little expert
mentation will show you the best
position.
Now, with the bark back in place
you are ready to try out your new
whistle. If it does not work try
running water over it. If it still
fails to produce the sound you
want remove the bark and cut q
little deeper. I have found, how
ever, that most of the time this
whistle works very well And ]
hope you have just as good luck
with IL as I have had.

Which will never know defeat?
How do you feel as you see men at

Turning out guns and planes?
Their task goes on both day and

Unheeding of time and strain.

You'll have to do 1t sometimes.


Practice is especially important
in learning to field bunts and foul
flies. You'll look awfully silly if
you can't handle yourself under a
foul and you'll cost your team a
lot of easy outs.
When foul fly is hit back of the
plate, tip of your mask away from
the ball and go after it. That will
prevent your falling over the mask
just as you're about to catch the fly.
A left-handed batter almost always
fouls to the catcher's left and a
right-handed hitter to the catcher's S
right. so you won't have much trou-
