A Study in Baseball Batting.

The ideal batter puts into his stroke, first

motion The stroke begins with strong
body swing, which is folio wed by the mo

the wrists Although this Is the analysis
of the ideal stroke, it is not precisely the
one that l would recommend for the ma
jority Of amateurs. To get all the mo-
tions to their full extent against good
pitchers requires an ability TO Judge the ball
more quickly and accurately Y than amateurs,

The wrist and arm motions can be con-

sential, that batters should he coached

When you see batter. as often have,

have seen one who is guilty of two breaches
Of correct batting principles. First, having
entirely sacrificed the important arm and
wrist motions, he has with stiff arms and
wrists depended entirely upon powerful
body swing. And second, he has lost his
balance, and therefore all batting form. It

LAVIGNE'S VICTORY.
Connolly Made Game Fight, But
Had to Go Down.

The New York Evening Telegram says:
''Kid'' Lavigne again demonstrated, in
his fight with Eddie Connolly, of st.
John, ~ B., at the Broadway A c., Friday
night, that he is still invnclble and fully
entitled to the title which he holds, Of
lightweight champion of the world
Connolly was defeated in the twelfth
round, his seconds refusing to let him toe
the scratch, although he was perfectly
willing He got up to face Lavigne. hut

Choynski jumped in front OF him, and put

crowd, and as the fighters were said To be
contesting for percentage of the receipts,
their share must have Amounted to "A goodly
sum, as there were probably 5000 in the
house.
Although defeated, Connolly was not by
any means disgraced He did nobly.
He did what few men who have faced
Lavigne have done. He stood up and
fought. Others have been content to
sprint and keep away, in order To stay
the stipulated number of rounds
Connolly was the clevercst-yes, far
cleverer- No one hand alone, but both
hands, did he use, and with good effect,
too, in the early stages. To those un-
accustomed to Lavigne's style OF fight
ing, it looked for the first few rounds
as If Connolly would win.
II is hardly probable that Lavigne could
be whipped by any lightweight in the
world at present, even were the latter to
use meat ak. As the stout little son
OF Saginaw, he is not TO be denied. From
the beginning of the first round he went
at Connolly biff, bang, playing principally
for the body.
This mode of attack told. IT weakened
the Canadian until he was just where
Lavigne wanted him Spry and lively
. as kitten on his feet for the first six
rounds, all the time making Lavigne look
like a novice as far as boxing vent,
he became slow and leaden OF foot, finally
clinching at every opportunity. To the
very last, however, he did not faIter, or
run away, or take the limit W hen he went
TO the floor so many times in the eleventh
round.
Lavigne was trained to the hoIr. He
possessed the strength of a lion, and put
so much steam into his blows that it is a
wonder how Connolly stood the ''gaff''
so long. The latter, by the way, had
great advantage in height ami reach, and
he will whip a majority OF those who
think they can defeat Lavigne. The
fight last night was at the light weight
limit, 133 pounds.

Lynch again took hold of the Indicator
