have meant little. but_ sharps in

cant drill of the practice.
The arts and science of curve
pitching were demonstrated and its
~1heorles expounded by the veteran
masters to the attentive rookies.
Such advanced theories as making
delivery of the curve,and the proper
methods of making it most'effec'tlve
were shown. The kids worked hard
and at the end both pupils Ind te'nch

sweat. The sunny South‘ was itself

it is harder to hit safe than the
other kind."
The rookies stood around at at-
tention and drank in every word.
Gaston then warmed up and Shaw-
key stood behind him. It was inter-

his rookie pupils. Gaston was visi-
