John Foster of the New York Tele-
gram recently had a number OF opinions
in HIS columns regarding the hardest
batsman. Bob Allen selected Thomp-
son. Corcoran, LOTUS, Ryan and Hanion
thought Arson could hit the ball as hard
as any Of them. Capt. Duffy Of the Bos-
tons, says that no batsmdn ever hit the
phia slusger. Lajoie. Why, said
Duffy, 'Lajoie has them all skinned.
remember once in Baltimore he hit ball
so hard he broke it, and ! have heard Of
balls being ruined that he had driven
against walls. No one ever hit the bail
as hard or sent il as fast and as far as

that he is Il deal better than a lot of
league men I know. Although he lacks
the experience of many league pitchers,
he has wonderful coolness for man who
is not even a yearlins. As for batting,
there are few players in the country
