The High School Pitcher

CHAPTER XIV
4/13

Run balanced well forward on the balls of your feet.

Throw your heels up; travel as though you were trying to kick the backs of your thighs.

Breathe through the nose, always, in running, and master to the highest degree the trick of making a great air reservoir of your lungs.

We have had considerable practice, both in jogging and in sprinting, but this afternoon I am going to sprint each man in turn, and I'm going to pick all his flaws of style or speed to small pieces.
We will now adjourn to the field for that purpose.

Remember, that a batsman has two very valuable assets---his hitting judgment and his running steam.
