his pillow at night while on the, road. Its the best bat ever used, said l the big fellow one day last summer,
 land I would not part with 1t for s50e.'' Bradley, a team mate, picked up the
 bat during a game in Boston, and was
 So pleased with 1t that he asked La5ote
 if he could use it. At first Iajofe ob- Ejeoted strenuousiy, but as Bradley beg
 ged hard he finally consented, so that
 both men used the bat together the rest of the season. Bradley prizing 1t
 as much as the champion slugger.
 Lave Cross is never satisfied with
 his bats He generally has fifty of them
 each spring, and they are made for
 him according to his own idea. He l finally sifts them down to about doz-
 en, which he Jugs around with him all
 the season. But he Is always ready to
 swap bats with a player in the busi-
 ness. Hans Wagner, the best hitter in
 the National league says that all he
 wants is a bat thirty-fiye inches long and the right weight.
 He says also that some players have to have one bat for slow pitchers, am other for the speed merchants and a third for hunting, but that one will suit all purposes as far as he is con- cerned. Hickman of the DetrOits can
 get along with twenty-five bats when the season begins, but he says that he
 gives most of them away to other players, When he gets a. good ash he will not allow another player to take 1t in his hands, because 1t might change the luck.
 Willie Keeler. who stood second to Lajoie in the American league aver
 ages. has some bats that he has used for long time. Keeler has to be suit ed down to the ground in this respect,
 however, before he thinks he is ready
 to face a pitcher.
 q can tell the moment pick up a bat whether it suits me or not. It { must be a certain length and weight,
 with just the right kind of a handle for me to grip, or I will not use It."
 said Keeler in talk at American lea
 que headquarters the other day. T
 hold my bat differently from most
 players, for do not grip 1t close to ,, the end of the handle. but about in the
 middle. That gives me a chance to either bunt or hit 1t out, without show ing the pitcher what I intend to do." In the old days the heavy hitters like
 Dan Brouthers, Roger Connor, Buck Ewing, Hardie Richardson and men of that stamp always used long, heavy

BASEBALL BATS ARE PRIzED.
Star Players Always in Search of
 Good Sticks-Some Be -. I gin With Fifty.

!. gin With Fifty.
 What becomes of all the bats that
 are purchased each spring by the big
 baseball clubs? This question has been | frequently asked of managers, players
 and officers, yet nobody has been able to answer it. The New York Ameri-
 cans, for instance, bought nearly 200
 bats last season, and when the carn-
 paign wound up there were not more
 than a dozen left. Some were broken,
 others were either lost or stolen, while the rest were thrown away, to be | picked up by the small boy.
 I Ball players are cranks on the sub
 ject of fine bats. They will spend hours | handling the new crop of wagon ton-
 gues that are put on the market each spring. Some of them want long, heavy sticks, while others insits upon short,
 light ones, with a happy medium for
 many. It is not an uncommon thing to
 see star ball player have two dozen i bats at the opening of a championship | season. s- %ss
 But 1t does not take long for him to
 weed out the poor willows and settle
 down to few good ones. Then super
 stition begins to cut something of 8 figure, and if a player makes a home
 run or timely single that wins game with a certain bat he believes that he
 cannot get along without 1t. s~ Then 1t Is that he will prize the bat
 so highly that he is not willing to let 1t out of his sight. He will scrapei it with bit of glass now and then, after
 which he will oil it and put it away in
 some hiding place, so that there can
 be no chance of losing it. Should some
 rival see fit to steal the bat or pur-
 posely mislay it there is always war. Napoleon Lajoie, the greatest bats-
 man in America, began last season
 with 30 bats. After trying them all out
 he selected a stick that was one of the longest and heaviest in use on any ball , field. With this mighty weapon Larry
 was able to reach the wide out curves and also bang the straight fast ones ] to all quarters of the field, much to the chagrin of the pitchers, who tried in
 vain to fool him. But Lajoie thought so
 much of this bat that he did not put it
 in the regular bat bag along with the other sticks used by the Cleveland Americans. Instead he carried 1t in a neat leather case. which he put under

 He had been pounding the ball all the season with great results, and he prized the bat 50 highly that he had his name painted on 1t, so that he could not lose it. Kelly finally went to Cfi- cago to play an important series and took his prize bat out to the grounds, The Chicago players had heard of the famous stick and wanted to see 1t but Kelly waved them off.
 The game was close, and in the ninth inning the score was tied. with Kelly at the bat and two men out. Mark Baldwin was in the box for the Chi-s cagos and Captain Anson told him to put them right over the plate. Kelly finally singled out Q beautiful straight ball and sent it clean over the center felder's head. The Chicago players were bound to get the bat, and expSct- ing Kelly to throw it tos the ground before he started for first base they uldue d ColiceTlcu Tuoh Aoi eiAo RAeseo ' to get it. But Kelly did not lose his head. He tucked the bat under his arm, raced around the bases for clean home run and then, as he put 1t back in the bag, he cried out to An-f son:
 No chance to get the stick, Popy Kelly's too s1nart!'
 Anson insisted that there had been no plot to capture the bat, but his men l. said that Kelly's presence of mind made the "old man. as angry as hat, ter, for Anson was batting weakly and wanted a new stick.-NeW York Sun.
