MEETS CAUSING NO THRILLS IN D. C. From the point of view of local in- terest, the South Atlantic junior track and field championships, to be held at Baltimore on Saturday, are not likely to measure up to last year's affair, which went to the District's squad of performers by a good margin. Members of several high school teams had considered entering the meet as unattached runners, but no definite steps have yet heen taken to have thelr names placed on the lists. In addition, the Washington Marines, winners of the team title in 1925 with a total of 42 points, have practically dropped out of competition except for one or two individuals.

DO THIS NOT THIS ‘The good pitcher must not only come back slowly on his wind-up, but he must be certain to keep his eves on the spot to.which he is golng to deliver the ball during the entire wind-up and pitch. That is what the player in the {llustration on the left is doing. The one on the right has carelessly taken his eves off the plate on his back swing and will depend upon finding it again as he starts his pitch—a sure way to lose control.
