-J A: Thursday/August 5, 1954 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Five CATCHING ®r * Ray Schalk From the book "How to Woy" published by 6J)e;0portutg Nms WORK WITH pittmpp Chapter 12 REFRIGERATE FOOD DURING SUMMER WEATHER The catcher also must work on the supposedly weak hit- ,ters, using the same care as he does on the good hitters. Remember, never take anything for granted. Don't consider the inning over if you get rid of the tough hitter in a pinch. The supposedly weak hitter may cross you up and come through with a surprise hit that will break up the game. I have seen this happen many times. My theory always was that there were no poor hitters among the regulars on any American League club. It was fine to get rid of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, George Sisler or Goose Goslin after' you and the pitcher had collaborated and given him the works. However, I always kept tightened up to go after the next batter, even if he was hitting 150 or 200 points under the man just retired. Any batter is dangerous as long as he remains in i the batter's box. Don't let up against any of them, and don't allow youft|pitcher to let up. It is especially important for the battery to work hard to keep the first batter in every inning, particularly when the score is close, from reaching first base. Work your hardest to get that first batter, even if he is the pitcher, or a supposedly weak hitter. Fully 50 per cent of the inning has been completed if you get rid of the first batter. A catcher greatly improves his Usefulness to his club if he can field bunts capably. With only first base occupied, the catcher can safely leave his position if a bunt is laid down. On bunts close to the home plate, or only ten or 15 feet up the first or third base line, the catcher is in much better position than the pitcher or an infielder to field the ball, as the play is in front of him and he is not forced to wheel around and get into position to make his throw after fielding the ball. Youngsters who aspire to be successful catchers should practice, hard and faithfully 'ib' become proficient in fielding bunts. I advise the catcher to keep an eye on the scoreboard, in order to be certain of the number of balls> and strikes on the batter, the number of outs and the inning that is being played. Unlike the days when I broke in, scoreboards now show more, and are operated with care. The catcher should be constantly checking the count on the batter, the number of outs and the inning, especially in important stages of games, and late innings. Don't "ride" the umpires. If you .have a kick coming, register it to the best of your ability without going too far. Then forget it. Don't carry the argument along, inning after inning. Each inning is a new one, a new game. I always figured, and so did Kid Gleason, the greatest manager I ever worked under, that yoU are only confusing yourself if you carry your peeve throughout the game, inning after inning. Always follow the orders of your manager. If he flashes you the sign to walk a certain batter, do so. Forget your own opinion, even if you think the manager's judgment is at fault.After all, he's the boss and you must be loyal. Keep watching the opposing catcher when you are on the bench. You are certain to learn things. I consider this particularly valuable advice to young catchers who have made -good on semi-pro clubs and are entering Organized Ball via a small minor loop. Even if you are as good as the opposing catcher, it will help to watch him, for he may uncover a play, or trick, that will be worth noting. If you make a trip to training camp: with a club, you should report in the best possible condition. That will make your work at the camp all the easier. If you succeed in entering professional ball, go out of your way to seek advice from teammates and opposing players while you are around the hotel, mornings and evenings, and on rainy days. Remember, you can pick up practically as much off the field as you can on the field. Talk baseball, eat baseball, sleep baseball. That is the way to get along In the game. •Ai related to Harold W. Lamgan, This is the twelfth in a series of articles to help give proper ingtruction to boys in How to Play Baseball. Future columns will include In fielding, Outfielding and Base Running.

Ninety-degree weather makes proper refrigeration of food doubly important, warns a specialist in the Depai tment of Food Technology, University of Illinois. Hot weather increases bacterial growth, which may result^ in food poisoning. < Oliver W. Kaufmann points out that one bacterium or»cvy t?!r.pc:atuic i£to~ v.) tor 24 hours can multiply 5 billion times. By contrast, a bacterium kept at refrigerator temperature (50<o F.) multiplies only 500 times. Foods begin to have an offflavor and may even be poisonous when the bacterial count is over 10 million. Milk, for instance, will become stringy and develop a sour flavor arid other food products may become slimy and develop a bad odOr. One of summer's food problems is to keep picnic sandwiches from spoiling and to prevent food poisoning. In four to five hours- en- 4 ough toxins may develop at a temperature of 100° F. to cause food poisoning. Kaufmann says all sandwiches spreads, meats and cheeses sold in stores will be safe on picnics if they are fresh and dre kept cold until you are ready to make and use the sandwiches. Special care should be taken with homemade spreads, especially those containing chopped meats, because excess hartdling exposes food to more ^bacteria. Also, ingredients may get warm during preparation. Once bacterid start to multiply, says Kaufmann, even low refrigrei ator «.»««•» stop tiiciu very wfell. So, if you want to make your own spreads, use refrigerated ingredients, mix them fagt and cool them in the refrigerator before you spread them. . If you want your refrigerator to cool effectively, don't' put too muoh food in at one time; overloading the refrigerator prevents proper cooling. .
