Big League Ball BY AL DEMAREE (Former Pitcher, New York Gilants). Stepping in Bucket. Fear of being hit by a pitched ball while at bat is perhaps the greatest single drawback to a boy becoming a good hitter. This fear or timidity is usually shown by pulling the body away and “stepping in the bucket,” which means swgpmg to one side and away from the pitcher instead of toward him. “You must get your body in your swing for long hits,” says Hack Wil- son. “When a batter steps to one side instead of toward the pitcher he pulls his body away also, and only hits with his arm: If you are a victim of this bad - O \ AR i R G S7EP BY FRANCIS E.

It has lost three games, tied one and reposes at the bottom of the Government League. And Willle Houck, the pepper-box catcher, who, now that he is gone, is credited with putting the Sailors over last season, is down in Haiti. | It has been generally agreed upon | that Naval Hospial's failure to click | has been due to battery trouble, mostly | the receiving end of the battery.

And the | chances that Houck will be back this | senson are not too warm., EITHER has Carl Neuman, Naval pilot, been getting the pitching that | usually befits a champion team. | He lost Columbus Sams to Haiti also and | Pete Ingram to G.

HYATTSVILLE, Md May 15— Hyattsville High School's base ball team, which recently won the Prince Georzes County championship, has been dealt 8 severe blow through the loss, for part of the time at least, of Francis Peffer, star pitcher and captain. Pefler will be required to take spe= cial studies each afternoon except Fri- day and Saturday from 2:30 to 3:30 o'clock forgthe remainder of the sea- son. This will mean that he will be unable to pitch at all in games played other than Friday and Saturday at any | considerable distance from Hyattsville. Hyattsville's stock in the State cham- plonship series soon to open has fallen as_the result of this development. De Voe Meade, big sophomore, who lately has been showihg promise as a pitcher, will be called upon for most of the mound work from now on. Meade r;]“f;wmn has been playing in the out- el | . Bob Newell, reserve outfielder, also |has been lost to the team, at least for some of the time. Hyattsville Southern Methodists have booked with Colesville Cardinals for | tomorrow in Magruder Park here at 3 o'clock. In addition to Hyattsville High's en- trants in the Club track meet Sat- urday in Washington, which have been published, is Coleman Headley, who will | compete in the half-mile.

The Brooklanders expect to | finish with a victory, their defeat of Temple University at Philadelphia Wed- nesday having given them a good deal of optimism in regard to the probable outcome against Delaware. Coach Dor- sey Griffith feels well satisfled over the results of the season so far and a vic- |} tory tomorrow will make the year just| Lapp that much more satisfactory. | ITH the exception of the Southern Conference track and field cham- plonships, to be decided today and tomorrow at Birmingham, athletics in | £t 8 the colleges of the South are just about finished for the year. Washington and Lee has two more base ball games, both with Maryland, as a part of the com- mencement program at each university, but barring those, the diamond sched- | {3 ules are about at their end. All the schools south of Wash! finish their schedules about the mid- dle of May, very few running any longer than that in any sport. ‘The conclusion of base ball schedules of schools in this section marks the end of the Tri-State Intercollegiate Base Ball League, of which North Carolina State, North Carolina, Washington and Lee, Virginia Polytechnie Institute, Vir- ginia Military Institute, Virginia and Maryland are members. ‘Whether or not an attempt will be | made to revive the organization after next year is not known, but there has been some talk of it. Action taken in Lynchburg sometime ago suspended operation of the league for one year, but provided for discussion of the base ball problem after that. Some schools in this section desire very much to con- ;mufhthe league, but others see no need for 'ORTHERN schools that formerly came South every year for base ball games are finding it increas- ingly difficult to arrange satisfactory schedules. Navy plays only on Wednes- day and Saturday, and with the excep- tion of Navy, only Georgetown and Maryland are represented on the dia-| mond. In years gone by George Wash- ington, Catholic University and Johns Hopkins had teams, which made it easy to arrange a series of games right around Washington at very little ex- pense for travel. Now, in order to com- | plete schedules, Northern teams must go down through Virginia, where jumps are not so short and not so convenient Probably the most convenient place for a school traveling for ball games out- | side of this immediate district is in North Carolina, where North Carolina versity, Duke University and North arolina State are ‘within a radius of 15 miles, more or less. But nothwith- standing the increasing difficulty of ar- ranging schedules, Northern schools are continuing their trips.
