First of All, Players Should
Have Confidence in
Ability.
BY EDWARD P. E

What keeps ballplayers on the sand
lots? Their inability to bat more than
anything else. This Is a foregone con-
the first things that a scout looks to is
the sticking ability of the man he is
about to inspect. The scout, we'll versed
in his game, takes the papers of the
various cities, dopes out the scores and
then looks over the boys who can get
away with the hits in their games.
That, therefore, leads us to a little talk
on batting, which would not be mop
perfume.
In the first place, the batter must
have confidence in his ability to hit the
ball, If it comes up to him to his liking.
Granted that he has that, the next i'm
portant thing is watch the ball from
the time it leaves the pitchers hands"
Never take your eye from the pill.
With these two qualifications a bat
ter has won a great part of his battle
to become a goo4 sticker, but there are
other things. A mans position at the
bat is very important, too. Some men
take the bat long and swing, starting
the motion of the bat with the ball as it
leaves the pitcher. These are the men
who break down fences when they hit
the ball, or else strike out when a hit
is needed because of their anxiety to
kill the sphere. The man to my liking
is the fellow who hits them over the
infield on a line for singles. He is the
man who brings in the runs, puts the
infield on the ragged edge and sends
the pitcher up in the air. This man
stands at the Dat like a statue-that
is, he does not n~ervously swing his bat
and oftentimes loses his bearings be-
fore the ball comes to him. He takes
the bat short, lays it on his shoulder,
as the Peerless Keller did in his
palmy days, and. when the ball seems
to be In the grove where he can hit 1t
best he sticks out the club. The ball, met
fairly, usually rides over the infield'

LATE START FOR
PRINCETON ELEVEN.

PRINCETON, Aug. 12.-Coach Will
lam w. Roper, of the Princeton Uni
versity football team, announced yes
terday that the management had
scheduled a game with the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute for October Il,
instead of Swarthmore College, which
institution recently decided to abolish
athletics for the coming year. Mr.. Roper
also declared that the football candi-
dates would be called out on September
%, which is later than usual, due to a
request of the faculty that athletics
begin at a time concurrent with the
opening of the college term.

BELMONT AND KEENE TO

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Turfmen are
much interested in the cable report to
the effect hat August Belmont and
James r. Keene are to have a joint
racing enterprise in England next year
and that they have leased Balaton
Lodge at Newmarket as training quar-
tiers for their thoroughbreds. Both
Messrs. Keene and Belmont have al

yearlings to England and it is under
stood that they will be trained at Bala-
ton Lodge.
1t is said, however, that these lead
ing American turfmen will not neces-
sarily abandon the sport in this coun-
try. 1t is reported, though, that in pre-
pairing to race on the English tracks
Messrs. .Keene and Belmont have taken
a precautionary move SO that & racing
should be entirely stopped here they
will have their stables ready for a Brit
