WEDNESDAY. %e @hming Star BOYS CLUB Conducted by ROBERT C. McCLELLAN BY “TUG” WILSON, Athletic Director of Northwestern University. HE relay race is the “life of the party” in the track and field meets, both indoors and out- doors. The relay raccs are a lot of fun, and also give several boys an opportunity to show their running { ability on the track. Four boys make up a relay team. The most popular relay races are | the 440-yard and 880-yard cvents, cach boy running 110 or 220 yards. VFor smaller boys the 220-yard di tance would be better, each running Some boys are just natural hitters and require only a little coaching to make them stars with the bat. But most of them acquire certain fauls, among which are taking too long a step, stepping forward too soon, swinging too hard, pulling away from the ball (stepping back), failure to swing the bat in a horizontal plane (you can hit curves either in or out that way) and failure to keep the eyes on the ball all the way. Avold these faults and you'll be a good batter. Hit the size of a dime on the ball. The two fastest men should be on the ends of the relay team-—that s, a fast man to start and a fast man to tinish. Of course, the others must be fast, too. It is a big ad: age to get a fast tart. And it's mighty fine to have a really fast man running last on the team, for if he isn't too far behind when he gets the baton he may be able to make up some of the iost ground and win for the team that was trailing. And, on the other hand. if {lie is ahead when he takes the baton his great speed will enable him to keep ahead and finish with his team a winner. The relay man must practice like all other sprinters, and, besides, he {must be very proficient in receiving | and passing the baton. There are 10- d starting zones along the cours his gives the first and second ma the second and third and the third and fourth opportunity to catch the | stride and take the baton without los. 1‘ ing any ground for the team.
