Take Care of Your Arm. Boys should take as much care of | their arms when they begin to throw in the Bpring as the big league pitcher takes care of his arm. The boy gets out in company with other boys and maybe all of them go to the lake, if there is a lake in the nelgh- borhood, or to the river, to look every- thing over after the ice has gone out, and the first thing that each of them attempts is to skip stones over the surface of the water. The first try gets away a good skip for one bounce. But that isn't enough. The boy wants to skip a stone twice and three | times, and more if he can get enough good speed in his throw. The first thing he knows he is putting all his strength into his effort. | Maybe the next day he wishes to play ball for the first time, or for the second time, If conditions are right, and when he tries to throw the ball a sharp pain causes him to double up in agony, because a tender and wrenched shoulder can hurt al- {and seve BY JOHN B. received from boys who seek his advice as to how to train 80 as to fit themselves to become good ball players.)

Warm battles were staged last night in The Evening Star League.
