Find Vour Style of Hitting The first important point ta find out after you have perfected your swing is whether nature de- signed you ta be a "power" hitter or a "choke" hitter. A "Power" bitter usually holds the bat at the end of the handle. He swings with everything he bas and al- ways tries ta bit the hall bard, depending on power and strength ta gain hlm bits. He goes for the fences and figures he can get the bahl througb the infield because it is hit too bard ta block. "Power" bitters are usually big, heavy men with strong shoulders and arms. A '"choke" bitter usua1ly holds the bat fairly welI up the handie, takes a short step into tbe hall and uses a quick, short swing. He is usually a smaller, ligter play- or and ho depends more on tim- ing and "Place" hitting ta get resuits. Instead of using power and strength ta get the bail out of the infield he, ta quote Willie Keeler, a famous "choke" bitter, 'Hits 'cm where they ain't." Tbe .power" bitter usually steps well mbt the bail and bits early, the ,'choke" bitter usually waits un- til the hast fraction of a second and then swings. Bath types of bitting are equally important. The "po\ver" bitter bits more bome-runs. triples and two-baggers but the '*choke" bit- ter usually bas a better batting average and is more dependable. A "choke" bitter is harder ta fool witb a curve or rick deiiver-y be- cause be watches the bal longer and swings later. The best way ta discover thc style for wbioh you are best suited is ta test your skili at bath. While making your test You will learn bbc two sys- tomns and Ibis is ail ta the good because you never know ,'hen Ibis ail-round skiil wihll be a big lielp. MWbein making up your mmid as ta wbat style you v'ill use don't forget ta take into con- sideration yaur build and strength and wbich style you LIKE best.

No. 9,, Clarke How Muchi Sleep Shouid Athietes Get? The amount of sleep that an athîcte should get when be is in training depends a great deal on the athîcte. Some thrive on sev- en or eight bours of sleep, whiie others necd nine or ten hours. Another consideration is age. If under 18 an athicte, gencrally speaking, needs ten boums of sleep. Sa, if you are ta replenish your body througb proper sleep, try ta get ta bcd at the same time and get up at the same time as often as possible. Another point ta remember is that yau can get taa much sleep, and this will make you loggy and slow-moving.
