His tour victories helped his bantam team win the park championship last year and ad- vanced them into the city play- offs.

CATCHING Catching Stance: (a) A comfortable stance with good balance is most important It is the basic for proper re- eeiving, shifting of the feet and getting into position for throw- ing. Do not be discouraged if you do not acquire this stance immediately, but when you do, you have gone far in mastering the art of catching. (tr) Have weight slightly for- ward and evenly distributed on both feet so you are able to move quickly to either aide. to) Do not catch in a squat p09 ition especially with runners on the bases. The balanced stance enables you to get a good jump on the swinging bunt and the foul ball back near the stands. _ v, " TV In? 3 Crt C.
