In the morning his arm felt good and in addition to throwing out some boys who were playing against his team, and throwing as he would in practice, the chances are that he threw j a little harder every now and then to burn some fellow's hands. Also, when Billy Brown said he could throw fafther that morning, his playmate immediately ac- cepted the challenge and both of them began to peg at a mark or to some boy | who was anchored somewhere in the| outfield. It was especially great sport while it lasted, if one boy happencd to win by a foot, but he strained his arm when {he did it. He most likely had played {all the base ball that he should have | played before he began the throwing | contest After he was through he went home and had something to eat and he could hardly wait to get away from the table to get outdoors again and start throw- ling.” His food had no time to digest and “m a few minutes he felt so loggy that he wished he could take a nap, or lie down under a tree, and his arm had jabout as much steam to it as an ex- mndr(l boiler. What he did is what | nearly every boy is likely to do who | plays base ball all day long and throws | | his arm out in the morning. To bunt the ball, take hold | bat above the end of the handle and when the ball comes up to vou, do not try to swing on it, and hit it, but try to tap it. Reach out and tap it down | Tt will be hard work to learn to do it of the | well, but when you can bunt it is one | of the niftiest things to do {base ball bat. And you will be better | |able to play against any kind of pitching because there are many pitchers who! do not like to have the ball against them. and who lose their grip when they see a batter stick his bat out | and take a little chop or tap at the ball. | with Don’t hold the bat with a tight grip | Learn to hold it | when you do this {loosely and you will bunt effectively than if you at a4 motion as if you were about to hit for a home run.
