Brownins's Hobby.

Pete Browning was one Of those old
time players who loved his bat first and
the world afterward. He passed more
time working over his big bludgeOns than
at any other vocation in life. And he
felt amply repaid when, the next sea-
son, he found he had one or two that ex-
aCtly suited him.
Billy Hamilton was another who loved
his bats. His kitchen in his New Eng
land home was always full Of them dur
ing the winter months, and he handled
them like pets He taught Fred Tenuy
the same reverence for the war club and
Fred started out in the same way. But
Fred has changed now, and most of the
modern players are different too, though
they still demand bats that exactly suit
them in balance and build as well as
driving power, but they let the factories
do the pettiug and polishing, choosing
only to 20 over the bunch submitted for
trial and picking out the ones that suit
best.
''Two good bats is about all any player
of today needs, said Veteran Ienney.
HE wants a heavy one to use when he
IS up to slug the ball and a light one for
use at other times. He needs the heavy
one and the light one also to change off
with every once in while so as to
change his swing at the PAL; A man
who uses a heavy bat constantly gets, in
time. so he swings too late on ball, espe-
cially If the pitcher is using much speed
Then a switch to the lighter one VIII help
him greatly in accelerating his swing. The
same is true again of the man who con-
stantly Yields a light stick-he gets to
swinging too soon on the ball, especially
when he is being fed curves or change Of
pace a good deal; then the change to the
heavy club viii help him get into his
stride again.
after a player has been using one bat
Tor a long time and finds that it suits him
exactly ne cannot get along without It,
If it is broken It seems he has lost a
friend. and he may take q big slump in
his stick work. which will not get started
again until he experiments with other
clubs Finally, he finds bat like the
broken one, one capable of filling its
place"

yesterday when O'Coni4eu asked about a
return match.
Yokel came out frankly and said that
he had thrown O'Conneu once and hon

again and as often as they would meet.
. COnnell said that NE was sorry, but
that he would try and bring YOkel to

kel at 40 pounds he can win.
Salt Lake wrestling fans who saw the
great match Monday night viii come
pretty near agreeing with IOkei that

as he says he can take off the four
pounds needed TO bring him TO 1l5 with

C'COnnell will stay here for a week or
so, as he is now under negotiations with
Lake Young, acting manager Tor Al Ack-

O'Conn II said that he has $500 to bet
on himself against Alderman or anyone
that weighs l45 pounds.
In response to a telegram sent Acker-

ply:

Before New Years.

As, however, O'CoHneu says he must
be back in Portland by January and
Alderman says he cannot get here until
later, the negotiations are still in the
air. Young has wired to have Alderman
here before New Years, but did not re-
ceive a reply last night.
AS Alderman is admitted to be per
haps the rightful WelterW eight champion
local wrestling fans want to get him out
here so that an Alderman Okel match
may be arranged.

% his admirers here. Never once was he
in danger of being thrown. and his cool
and clever wrestling was a treat TO see
