CHAMPION BATTER
A FREE HITTER

Much has been said about Stone and his
remarkable hitting last season. and it will
be hard for me to say anything that has
I'm the first place Stone assumes an ex-
tremely awkward position at the bat, and
for that reason is hard to pitch to- He
stands with feet spread far apart, close to
the plate crouching low and holding his bat
over his shoulders in rather a careless man
ner
When hitting he steps directly forward,
in the swing.
'Stone is what is termed free hitter
By this mean he hits in any field, and is
just as liable to hit for three bases as for a
single.
Another point in his favor is his remark
able speed going to first base This helps
his batting average considerably. as he
beats out many slow infield hit which for
slower man would mean a put out.
stone apparently has no weakness at bat.
still have heard American League pitchers
say he can't hit low ball on the outside.
''As he made nine hits in fifteen trips to
the plate on me last summer couldn't have
put many In that spot.
Stone is very effective against left-hand-
ed pitchers. something rare for left-hand-
ed batter.
Taken on the form he showed last sea-
son. Stone should be one of the real con-
tenders for the batting honors next season.
One strong factor in his favor is the fact
that he Is a player of exemplary habits and
can always be relied upon to give the club
he is working for his best effort"

discover just how formidable he is as

spirit that should dominate the players of
each department represented in the league
The question Is agitating the rank and file
Of the organization. and this will be one
Of the most important questions the di-
rectors will have to wrestle with.
The schedule Is another all-absorbing
problem, as it appears that several of the
branches Of the departments would like
representation. 1t is understood that the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing would
like to take place Of Justice and the Gov
eminent Printing Once that of the In

If the bureau were allowed to come
within the fold it would seriously cripple
the regular treasury team. hence 1t is
somewhat unlikely that two teams from
