I belong to the Y. M. C. A. in my city, and to an athletic club. I play baseball, but cannot hit the ball very well. How can I remedy that?
I also play basket ball, but get winded very early in the game. This is the same with running. I cannot run any distance. How can I improve my wind?
Is smoking cigarettes harmful, and would you advise me to drink coffee with my meals, or milk and water?
After playing basket ball or taking any kind of exercise, what kind of shower should I take–cold or hot?
What kind of a game is soccer? Is it as good as football, and what time of the year is it played.
Hoping you will answer my questions, and thanking you in advance.

Practice hitting. Keep your eye on the ball. Don't try to "swat." Those are a few suggestions, but ordinarily to learn to bat, one must be under the personal supervision of a coach.
Smoking is the worst thing you can do to injure your wind. Stop it, then see how your wind will improve.
As long as you get a warm reaction, and do not feel weak after you bath, but refreshed, take it cold.
