A Laureate.

Unfortunately we are not at present
prepared to tell the Democratic commit
tee where to find the poet for whom all
the leaders are eagerly looking, but it
is obvious that North Carolina, where
Mr.. B. F. PENNY dwells, is the cradle
Of songbirds of both sexes, and we still
believe that there or thereabouts the
much sought laureate Of the Bryan
campaign will eventually be discovered.
Thus sings PENNY Of Wilmington:
There Is a dear spot
Near this town:
It is where some day
I'll be laid down.
The grounds are nne
And laid out well:
It's little squirrels
In them do dwell.
OF all the sacred
Spots TO me.
It's beautiful oakdale.
All covered with trees.
Eight thousand bodies
Are buried there.
All Of them. and more,
Some day will rcappear.
Its kind directors
Arc business men:
Its superintendent
Is one Of them.
The scenery OF
This beautiful place
10 very superb
And In Its place.
so many loved ones
Have crossed this stream:
OF our departed
often dream.
with Mr.. DOMAIN.
Who superntends.
To his courteous manner
There is no end.
when this good keepers
Days are passed.
For we're no more
Than fading grass,
Wen think Of him
From time 70 time
with the beautiful grounds
OF his make TO remind"
1t is true that Miss MATTE PETERSON,
the bright particular Sappho Of the
eastern end OF the State, has passed
away. The same must be said Of JAKE
HALLIBURTON Of Burke, whose elegiacs
so long suffused the welkin with a rosy
blush. But the skies, the woods, the
squirrels and the inspirations generally
that produced q PENNY to fill the
vacuum left by Miss MATTE and by
JAKE Of Burke have surely not ex-
hausted themselves. Other troubadors
are running wild in east North Carolina,
unknown as yet, perhaps, and much too
young to bride all at once, but they
are there, and maybe in great numbers.
An alert and sympathetic searcher might
flush them almost anywhere.
We r not entirely sure, indeed, that
PENNY himself, despite his speciality Of
graveyards, may not be the very mock
ing bird for the occasion.

BALDWIN HOUSE
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-09-23

There are two kinds of good
hitters, those who use the short
choppy swing and those who start
them from the hip and come all the
way around. That old notion about
a batter not being able to hit a ball
as far by swinging hard as he can
by chOpping it is rot. Whenever
those hard swings land you will see
the fielders backing up to the fence.
But there are mighty few ball play
ers who can swing hard and not
lose their aim. That is the trouble.
They either hit the ball too low or
too high. Consequently they are
thrown out on grounders or life up
flies to the outfield. You will no.
tice that the men who hit the ball
hard are the good batters. Look at
Donlin and Lajoie. Both of those
fellows sting the ball every time
they meet it. No light ticks for
theirs. On the other hand, Willie
Keller, when he was at his best,
used to chop scientifically and win
out on his ability to place the ball.

under his management he'll have to
fight hard every time he answers
the gong or else there will be a
severing of relations without any
rag chewing.
Delaney and Al Kaufman have
completed all their arrangements
for an invasion of the east and
have departed for Chicago, accom-
panied by Bill Papke, the middle
weight champion. While on the At
lantic coast, Delaney will try to get
a few matches for Attell as well as
his young heavyweight. Abe will
remain in San Francisco until he
ascertains whether or not there is
anything stirring in the match max
ing line for him.

By "HANS" WAGNER.

Good batters have it born in
them. Few bad batters at the start
ever get to be good ones. | was a
good hitter when | played on the
town lots. In some way | got the
knack of hitting where | aimed
when a kid, and that's all there is
to it.
1T is no use trying to make a
study of pitchers. Study the ball.
The minute a batter begins figuring
on what kind of a curve the pitcheI
is going to give him he gets nervk
Gus and will be fooled more thar
half the time. The batter must
simply watch the ball, and if h&
sees it is coming within easy reacH
of his bat he must step out and
meet it. Most any batter after he.
has reached the big league can tell
curve the minute he sees it stars.
All this stuff about a pitcher send
ing in an out curve when the batter
is looking for straight one ana
fooling him is bosh. II
THE greatest faculty battdt
needs is that of being able to med
the ball squarely. All batters can
hit the ball, but the greater part
of them do not hit it squarely. The
art of placing a ball is not nearly
as necessary as the art of hitting
it on the nose. If you hit ball
sQuarely on the nose with a good
swing it will fall safe nine times
out of 10, no matter in what direc-
ton it goes.
While judging the ball is an art
in itself, making the bat land where
you aim is more important. Many
batters know exactly where a ball
is coming, but they. swing so hard
that they lose their balance and do
not hit where they intend to. 1t is
not the pitcher that fools them.
They fool themselves.

KIPPERT HELPS EN-
ALONG DOWN HILL

Kippert, the old center fielder
of Spokane, was responsible for
the Indians defeat in Tacoma yes
terday. In the third inning he con-
nected with Jensen's curve for a
triple and scored two men; in the
seventh he laid the stick against
another with man on, and before
the ball was fielded Kip scored,
thus making four runs which he
was. directly responsible for. Ia
coma only got one other. Score,
Spokane 8, Tacoma 5.
Carson did the pitching for the
Tigers, and was found for only five
hits, one double by Stevens. Jen-
sen gave nine hits.

tagged them out five feet apart.

game. And. oh, the swelled noodle
that Billy has accumulated. along
with the dough. He refuses to
meet either Hugo Kelley or Sam
Langford unless he is guaranteed
$4,000, win, lose or draw. If
Ketchell should happen to whip Mr.
Billy when they meet again, Nov.

quite likely fit into four figures

ST. Louis business men are said
to have subscribed a fund out of
which Rube Waddell gets $50 for
every game he wins. According to
some of the batters who have faced
the Reuben, he ought to be fined
$50 for every game he loses.

the blooming Britishers are the
favored ones who are to see it.
Langford takes the place of Mike
Schreck.
