BATTING ORDER BIG FACTOR IN
CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME.

~ well arranged batting order is a
great help to the team In Hghting for
close games. and the man who leads Of
can win many a hairline battle" says
leading critic The top position on
the batting order IS extremely impor-
tant. and 1T Is not at all m easy matter
to get Just the right sort Of man to
hll II. The first man up. to do really
effective work. must combine several
qualities. He should be a fair hitter to
begin with. or course tho heavy slug
gers OF the team are reserved for low
or positions In the order where they
can be of moro service In driving in
runners who arc on the bases. but the
leader VIII never do unless he Is capn-
bic OF hitting along about $50 He
must also be especially good At wait
ing them out a run or two In the first
inning Is n tremendous advantage for a
team to start off with. and carly scor-
ing depends largely on the ability or
tho first man up to get on In some way
or other The opposing pitcher Is apt
TO be a little wild right at the getaway.
and a clever waiter will march down TO
the first base very frequently without
having TO earn his way thlther. Get
ting on is the first thing to be done.
and getting around Is the next and
equally important. Therefore the lead
er on must be not only a fair batter
and q good waiter. but also a fast and
intelligent base runner. He has more
chances than any one else on the team
to use his noodle on the sacks. and. un-
less he Is smart enough to work well
with the two men who follow him in
tho order. whatever speed he may
have Is likely to be wasted He should
be capable of sizing up tho opposing
battery and judging whether he stands
better chance Of getting down TO sec
ond by stealing or by working with tho
next batter either on a bunt or by using
the hit and run play. A man who com
bines all these qualifications Is not easy
to find. and II Is therefore no particular
wonder that good leaders off are COM
paratively scarce"
