The average high school baseball
IDlayer has speed, a quick eye, and
an eagerness to play, but few of
them know the finer points—^the
right way to hit, to field the ball,
play the runner, and run the bases.
This comes from Coach W, P.
Coughlin of Lafayette College, who
offers some of the smart baseball he
has been handing out to college
teams for years to high school play
ers of today, in the May American
Boy magazine.
The average high school player
jias three hitting faults. Coach
Coughlin says. They are: He pulls
away with his forward foot; he
hasn’t good control of his bat; and
he goes after bad ones.
The big fault with infielders is
that they let the ball play them;
and with outfielders the fact that
they hang on to the ball too long and
don’t always throw to the nearest
base ahead of the runner.

trounced Goldsboro 7-11; Durham
journeyed to Raleigh, where the
caipital city boys gave them the
works to the tune of 8-3. Fayette

Raleigh came to Goldsboro and was
beaten 7-2.
