MY ADVICE TO YOUNGSTERS by Marion Fricano. Aside from practice, team competition and knowledge of the fundamentals, it is very important to develop character. It is val- uable to all through life.

These words, along with respect for parents, teachers and elders, will go a long way o...

On a single, (or one base hit) to 'the out- field, batsmen should waste no time in getting down to first base and take a fast'. turn toward second base. Often careless handling of the ball by an outfielder will give the runner a chance to stretch the hit to a two bagger. Loafing down to first base costs the runner many an additional base. Watch Buck Jordan of the Braves as a player who is alway...

THE MOST EXCITING GAME IN WHICH I'VE PLAYED by Sherman Lollar. Early in 1953 we played the Yankees at Yankee Stadium and with two out and one on in the ninth we were trailing by three runs. Then Mínoso, Wright and Rivera singled in succession scoring one run and leaving the bases loaded. Stengel switched to Blackwell and Paul Richards sent Tommy Byrne to bat for Stephens. Byrne belted a line d...

There's no shortage of energy in Ryan's game. His relentless motor is evident in the speed he utilizes to get up the line to log infield singles for Seattle, but he also makes frequent solid contact to propel balls into the alleys in the outfield.

No. 10, Strong Wrists Are Necessary. Long distance hitters like O'Doul know the value of powerful wrists, which give the ball the last extra ounce of drive that sends it over the fence. Many boys who begin with weak wrists develop into strong hitters by constant exercise. One method practiced by major league players is to carry small rubber balls in each side coat pocket (handballs usually) whi...
