POSSESS GOOD BATTING EYE
English crlcketer surpasses Baseball
Player as 6atter-Low Bail Is
His Delight.

We laugh and giggle at the English
cricketers. His game, with the hop-skip
bowler, the little wicket sticks, the fiat
bat and the backward and forward
running, seems hilarious to Americans,
and the biggest laugh of all is over
the length Of time it takes to play a
match. Still, every game has its good
qualities, and even cricket can show
up something now and then, says
an exchange.
The English cricketer has a good
batting eye. OF course, he doesn't
often get such speed served up to him
as is fired at the American baseball
batsman every day. Still, it is pret.
ty sight to see the Englishman pick
them Off, and In just one particular
the Briton can make the American
look bunch of six nickels, inferiorly
stacked. That is the cracking of low
balls-shoots which come down just
like the drop or spitball, and which in
baseball, drive the batsman frantic.
Ever watch cricket game, with good
batters up? Just notice them some
day, and see how they step into the
downshoots and how they swat them
to the extreme end of the adjoining
scenery.
The Englishman has, through gen
erations, cultivated a low cut at
falling ball, and he doesn't miss very
many. AS the ball drops he rakes al.
most along the ground, and the globule
goes like the bullet from a high.

LUCK IS BIGGEST ELEMENT
So Says Mike Mitchell, outfielder
and Heavy Hitter Of Cincinnati
National League Team.
BY MIKE MITCHELL.

fCopyright. by Joseph 3. Bowles.y
Luck | think is the biggest element
in winning baseball games, and in
the success of any individual player.
| have known many good ball players
who were sent back to the minor
leagues and have never arisen again
because luck broke against them dur,
ing their early careers and they new
er were lucky enough to get another
chance.
Scoring runs wins, hitting scores

hitters standing up well, hitting the
ball hard and squarely, who, to watch
them hit you would think we're in the
300 class, and yet they are standing
away down in the averages. Hitting
runs In streaks, too. Often man will
hit hard and steadily without getting
safe hits for weeks and then suddenly
the luck will turn and everything he

There is no way for man to learn
to bat | take that back. think left
handed batters who are extremely
fast actually can be taught to bat
whether they are natural hitters or
not. They can learn to poke and
push the ball, and chop at it, mixing
1t up with their swings and by prac-
tice become pretty good hitters wheth-
er they were so at the start or not.
But with the great majority hitting
the ball is natural and is the result
of quick eye and steady drive at the
ball. Boys just starting the game,
however, can cultivate their natural
ability to bat. They ought to study
themselves to observe how they stand
at the plate, how they hold their bats
and how they move when the ball is
pitched. They may be natural hitters
who have not learned to handle them
selves. Try to keep a steady footing,

body balanced on the balls of the

Then begin the study of pitchers.
No man ought to go into a game with
out some knowledge of the style of
the opposing pitcher, whether he is
slow or fast, straight or curve or spit
ball, and the more be knows about the
other pitchers the better he ought to
hit. If a batter knows what the pitch
er Is likely to do, he is much more
likely to hit. The fact is that a ma
jority of hits made in the finished
game are made when the pitcher is in
the hole and the batter is almost GER

study out for himself, btu perhaps

Why Do They?

Why women like the baldheaded
man 1t is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
sical. Past the follies and frivolities
Of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage SO
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when II
comes to him, as 1t is a sign of Sc
dateness and dignified learning, which
invariably increases his practise.
