Following is Willie Keeler's batting

Whenever William Keeler the chant
pion batter of the world. goes 10 the
plate there is buzz Of expectancy
among the onlookers They feel conf
dent that something Will happen to
change the complexion of the game,
If the score Is close he is apt to tie
it, or else send In run that viii put
his team IN the lead. keeler walks TO
the rubber ana points his toes at the
home plate. Being left-handed hit
ter he faces third base. but when no
gets ready for the bail he puts his head
on one side aud gazes intently nj the
pitcher. Close TO his left shoulder

cept or catch many OF the drives, but
i'm the case Of Keeler, it IL impossible
TO do so with any startling amount OF
success. He Is the freost batter In
the game today and doubtless has
more success i'm driving the ball to the
SPOT he desires than any other man In
the business.
When he was asked once to what he
attributed his great success as bats
man Keeler smiled, and replied.

This remark was afterward attrlbut-
ed 10 Lajoie. but 1t originated with
Keller. and Is more applicable TO Keel
cr's batting methods than any of his
rivals for the sticking honors.

success IN batting Is due to his WONDER

NEW HITTING PLAN.
Hank O'Day Has scheme 10 Move
Pitcher Nearer Home Plate.

Hank O'Day the famous National
league umpire at this late day has a
new solution OF the light hitting of the
present time. IT Is that the pitcher
Is placed too far back and this Is in
radical opposition TO the scheme OF
Ned Hanlon TO move the slab artist
still farther back. Though offered n
little late, the suggestion will bear
thougSt for another year. In case some
of the erstwhile smuggling stars again
fail TO pass the 300 mark 1.-THE aver
age batter Is unable to correctly time
the pitchers delivery at this time"
says O'Day. 80 | cannot see how
lannon's suggestion of moving the
pitcher still farther back would help
the batting In the least AS the pitch
err has been moved back the hitting
has become lighter. so the inference Is
that the delivery cannot be gagged as
well at the longer distance.
MY suggestion, based on quite n
few years of observation both with
and without the umpire's Indicator, is
that the pitcher should be moved mn
five feet, or to fifty-fve feet from tho
plate and then his increased speed
would be more than Offset by the abl-
ity Of the batsman 70 divine the di-

VICIOUS TRoTTERs RARE.
Most Speedy Horses Are Bred Ia Man
ners as Well as speed.

The trotting bred stallion OF today
has mt least one virtue that Is not
found ia every type of horse, and
which bsspeaks an amount OF intelN-
gence that has much to do with maxi
ing this type Of horse popular. The
tro'ting stallion IL not vicious, general
ly speaking, in fact, 1t is an extremely
rare Instance where a vicious brute il
found and among all the trotting stall
lions In America, 1t Is doubtful of there
~ one that Is really dangerous. stall
lions Of other types are frequently not
only vicious, but extremely dangerous,
and this is probably true among thor
oughbreds more than among any other
breed.
Many OF the most successful show
horses in America are trotting- bred
stations and yet they can be as gem
tie and as easily controlled In or out OF
the show ring as geldings or mares.
This characteristic Is undoubtedly due
to a superior order Of intelligence for
beyond question the American trotter,
as a type, Is the most intelligent horse
known, with the possible exception OF
the Shetland pony This intelligence
Is depicted in the countenHnce Of many
stations and while the trotter, as
rule, lacks that artistic beauty OF head
the thoroughbred and almost invari-
ably In the saddle stallion. the race
horse rarely possesses that broad ex-
panse between the eyes and the almost
human expression of the eyes Them
selves.
The greater the degree Of Intelligence.
which intelligence Is so frequently de-
picted in the countenance. the less
likely is the horse to be erratlc or una
steady, and It Is believed that in all
most every example OF a stallion that
was reliable and inclined 10 stick 10

forehead and an attractive counte-
nance. Rattle-headed horses usually arc
