HANS WAGNER TELLS WHAT
MAKES FIRST-CLASS STICKER

when the batten is looking for a straight
one and fooling him is bosh.
THE greatest faculty a batter needs Is
that of being able to meet the ball
squarely. All batters can hit the ball.
but the greater part of them do not hit
1t squarely. The art Of placing a ball is
not nearly as necessary as the art of hit
ting 1t on the nose. II you hit ball
squarely on the nose with a good swing It
will fall safe nine times out Of ten. no
matter in what direction II goes.
while judging the ball is an art in IT.
self. making the bat land where you aim
Is more important. Many batters know
exactly where ball Is coming, but they
swing SO hard that they lose their bal
ance and do not hit where they intend to.
1t is not the pitcher who fools them They
fool themselves.
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 ball as far by swinging hard as be
can by chopping 1t is rot. Whenever those
hard swings land you will see the folders
backing up to the fence. But there are
mighty few ball players who can swing
hard and not lose their aim. That u the
trouble. They either hit the ball too low
or too high. Consequently they are thrown
out on grounders or lift up flies to the
outfield. You will notice that the men
who hit the ball hard are the good bat
tiers. 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 scien-
tificaly and win out on his ability to
place the ball.
THE science Of hitting is summed up
in hit 1t on the nose hit it hard and hit 1t
where they amt And at that It's no
science. it's gift"

with the outlook.

ton of the year in the National League

am not reminded of Hughey Jennings.
He is the same glutton for wor.- and Is

He is simply overlooking with energy and
cannot get too much work.
when we were in the south l sent
word to President Brush and Fred
knowles that 1 had picked up wonder,
but he sprained his ankle in the first
week. and when he came back to the
game after three weeks he looked bad.
He couldn't hit and 1t was a common
thing for him to boot the ball. He
showed such poor form that every one
urged me to pull him out, but I stuck to
my convictions and it is very gratifying
to have the lad justify my judgment.
Doyle made eighteen hits in the seven
games of the Pittsburg and Chicago Sc
ries and he is one of the genuine hitters
of base ball today. l am inclined to
think that if you were to look up his
record for the last ten weeks you would
find that he has led the league in that
time. His fielding is on a par with his
hitting. You just watch him.
