Items Of Interest To Swimmers.

Spate Of Gala

V.A.D.-A.N.S. and Lai Tsun-V.R.C. Meets To-morrow Night

(By "Tinker")

TOGETHER with the Government inter-Depart- mental gala at the European Y.M.C.A. this evening, there will be a spate of unusual activity in swimming circles this week-end. To-morrow night there will be two Meets that in many respects will occupy main interest. These are the V.A.D.-A.N.S. and V.R.C.-Lai Teun galas, the first in the Army Pool and the second at the V.R.C.

Those, to whom swimming is

a more sorious topic, will un- doubtedly be in attendance at the V.R.C., for the Nurses' func- tion in more in the nature of a social event in aid of the Dom- ber Fund. As far as I can re- member, this is the first all- women's gala ever

THOUGH anly three events are affected, changes have been made In the composition of the V.R.C. swimming team to meet Lai Tsun to-morrow evening. W. Lawrence, through illness, L. A.

There should be quite a lot to see. The original intention was to hold the events in the Y.M.C.A. pool, but since the venue was changed to the Army pool, it was decided to limit the Nurses' events to one length of the pool which is 3314 yards. Races will be for free-style, breast-stroke,

The two events most affected are back-stroke, and medley teams, to-

the 150 yard medley relay and the gether with a diving competition.

2. The Catcher

This is the second article in the series of seven dealing with the playing of the various positions on the diamond.

THE CATCHER is a very important cog in overy ball club. He should he the target for the pitcher. Ho must be prepared to catch a high, low or wide balls, and then be in a position to throw in caso some-baso is occupied.

This position is best taken crouch- ing, knees slightly bent, the feet normally spread and the weight of Golf the body just off the heels. The body should be erect and relaxed above the hips and the body well balanced, especially while squatting. This will allow the catcher to step any direction in the least possible time and effort.

in

He should not bend too far for- ward, nor be caught flat-footed, but should be ever on the alert. The catcher should not be afraid to throw to

to the different baser when it is the time to theow. occupied Decisiveness, speed and throwing ac- curacy are essentials, and he should work with the pitcher on all batters,

He should at least get in front of the ball, and should not be afraid. to tag the runner some distance from the plate.

If other runners are on, he should be alert to see that they do not take any extra bases because of his slow- nere in acting.

SUGGESTIONS. (1) THE catcher should at all times instill confidence in his entire team. He should be the LIFE of the team.

(i) He should keep the plicher awake.

(i) Tell the pitcher what to do with bunts or pop tea,

(iv) Never let the pitcher handle a ball that he can feld him--

(v) Should dive to tag a run- ner, if necessary.
