"wherefrom and why" of that piece CT
timber. A batter is very superstitious
over his bat. He cares for it like q
driver does a pet horse. Below is given
an interesting account of the origin ol
these sticks:
runs win baseball games, 1t usually
takes hits to make runs. and 1t takes
bats to make hits, ergo, the most i'm
portant part of a ball game Is the fes-
tive swat stick Every fan knows more
or less about gloves masks, mitts, etc.
but how many ever stop to consider
the difference in the whaling weapons
used daily by the semi burned ath-
letes? Every player has his own pet
stick without which he walks to the
plate with little expectation of fatten-
ing his batting average. but put his
own pet style Of war club in his hands
and he feels sorry for the pitcher who
opposes him. Big bats and little bats,
long bats and short bats, fat bats and
thin bats are used by the heavy slug
gers and almost every ball player of
any Importance in the country has his
bats made at Louisville, where for
nearly twenty-five years one factory
has kept the world supplied. Nearly
a quarter of a century ago a wood
turner named Hillerich made three bats
fell into the hands of a ball player,
who, when that bat was disabled, or
dered more of the same model. This
was the start of the ball bat business
of j. A. Hillerich & Son, who for years
have turned out many thousands OF
bats each year. At the factory can be
seen a collection of more than a thou
sand bats all of which have figured in
games and all are labeled with the
name of some player. Each one has
been a favorite stick Of some diamond
star who has broken it In a game and
shipped it by express to the factory to
Louisville to have a facsimile made.
The wood that the bats are turned
from at the Louisville factory comes
from the hilly regions of Kentucky,
where they raise the ash that is re-
CURED for the making of sIugging
utensils. The wood is always grown
on the north hill sides as the atmos-
phere on that side has a better effect
on the trees and enables the grain to
be more perfect. The north side of a
hill is better for bats, and also the
north side of a tree, and in ordering
the very finest of bats the players
sometimes specify that they want the
north side of the tree that was grown
on the north side of a hill. The wood
IS all second growth ash, and is seas
oned for two years before it Is turned
out, The bat makers do all their seas
oning out of doors and the wood Is
air dried. 1t comes to the factory in
rough pieces about six inches square
and is then turned into round. thick
pieces and stored in a covered shed,
where it is left for two years. After
being thoroughly dried it Is made into
bats that are used in all parts of the
country. The work of making bats
seems most simple to a visitor to the
factory but when it is taken into con-
sideration how minutely the work must
be done, and how exact the facsimilies
must be, the task takes on a more diff
ficult appearance. The factory is re-
quired to have their work within one
half ounce Of the required weight. Af-
ter they are hand-turned, branded and
shellacked they are ready to be ship
ped to the places whence they are or

U. S. C. ELEVEN WILL MEET
SAN LUIS OBISP0 TEAM
Fifteen Men VIII Leave for Today
with Coach Cromwell to Play
Polytechnic School

The varsity team of the University
of Southern California will leave this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for San Louis
Obispo, whore they meet the state
polytechnic school Saturday in the
first football game of the season. After
a fierce practice last evening in which
the varsity worked like a perfect ma
chine against the second team the fol-
lowing men were picked by Coach
Cromwell to go north: Bunker, center;
Allen, right guard; Cochran, left
guard; Malcolm, right tackle; Stookey,
left tackle; Wallace, right end; Col
Ter, left end; Ickes, quarter; Paulen,
left half; Decius, right half and Hall
fullback.
The following will also accompany
the team as subs: Martin, end or half;
Manning, full or half; Hogan, half or
end; Croffmen, quarter These last
men will probably be used in part of the
game Saturday as Ickes suffered a
slight accident a few nights ago, bruis-
ing the upper part Of his left leg con-
siderably and Coach Cromwell does not
wish to use him too heavily.

playing the way his men are now,
though that doesn't take any credit
away from the Angels. Browning was
easy, but has mates didn't help him
any in tight places.
Catcher Claude Berry had a bad
day. The aggressive little Seals
player couldn't start anything without
making mess Of it. He made three
wild pegs and fell down on his hitting,
but he probably will come back like
a whirlwind in the stick work before
the series closes. Berry is one of the
hardest sluggers, when he does land
on the leather, in the league.
That Mohler-zeider scoring machine
needed little oil yesterday. 1t fell
down at critical points.
In the seventh, the Angels nearly
broke a record. They secured four
clean hits, and not an Angel got over
the plate. This was once when the
San Francisco infelders performed up
to championship caliber.
Beall is still troubled with a both
ersome underpining and when he hits
onto base, he calls for a man to run
for him. If John could get a few days
rest, he would be ready to play the
