—(NEA)—If you are a beginner, you have now been
exposed to all you should.
At the outset I advised aga}nst
trying to learn too many things
at the start.
So let's go over what we have
discussed.
Take your, choice in grips—the
overlapping or. the .interlocking.
Choose the one that feels the
most natural_Don’t make your
decision just' bécause a friend
uses a particular grip and has
luck with it. But be sure to per
fect the ong you have chosen be
fore shooting for distance,
In the stace remember that it
is begun by placing the heels to
gether with the ball dead center
between them. Only the right
foot is ever moved, regardless of
the length of the club, keeping
the ball in line with the inside
of the left heel.
Avoid peculiar twists of the
body or rigidness.. Keep the
‘body straight. .
Concerning the wirsts, adopt
the straight-wirst method. There
is nothing to ®ain in the wrist.
snap theory. There is too much
ioss in accuracy and no increase
in power. .
If the wirsts are straight all
during the swing the face of the
club has to be flush with te bail
at impact. The reason is thatre
gardless of the stage of the swing
the face of the club is always in
line with the ball, as illustrated

TROJAN SHORTSTOP WILLIAMS
(EADS IN FIVE DEPARTMENTS
Fans in these parts will tell you that the brand of base
ball played by Athens’ ace shortstop, Nathan Willliams,
is good enough to equal or best any in state prep circles.
After a glance at the score book, one can readily see a
good argument is had.
Williams, at the completion of
five games, leads his teammates
in five departments and is tied
with outfielder-pitcher John
Marshall for a sixth.
Although the team as a whole
is bhatting a very fine .407, the
individual play of Williams, Mar
shall, Jack Turner, Don Sea
graves and Tom Lovern has been
noticeable. These boys make up
the first five in the batting de.
partment, with Williams and
Marshall dominating the various
other media of attack. Here they
are:
Batting — Seagraves, .600.
R. B. I, — Williams, 19.
Runs — Williams, 14.
Extra base hits—Williams,
10.
Total bases—Williams, 34.
Hits — Marshall, 15.. -
Doubles — Marshall, 5.
| Triples — Williams, 3.
| Home runs — Marshall,
Williams, 3 each, L
The next opponent on the Ath- |
ens schedule is Washington High,
the game slated for Monday- af
ternoen in Washington at 4:15
o'clock. - 1 Soteo
John Marshall is a likely nom-=
inee as .the starting pitcher, al
though nothing has been an
nounced on this by Coach Beefy
Eaves. However, it is Marshall’s
turn since Billy Ccok, Elliott
Smith and Jack Turner have
worked since the big Marshall kid
has seen action’ on the hill.
