The secret of winning at baseball
is to be found in the first order given
to the new ball player. 1t is: Keep
your eye on the ball" believe there
is such a thing as the instinct for
playing the game, but the greatest
success comes from quick eyesight

ever. after thinking 1t over. that the
eyesight has more to do with It than
anything else. 1t is the quick eye and
the steady one that makes man
batting. The batter who faces a
clever pitcher is certain to be out
guessed by him the majority of times.
There is no way to overcome the
pitchers advantage except to have an
eye quick enough to see either from
the way the pitcher swings or from
the way the ball comes. what is
pitched. and then have an eye quick
enough to enable him to follow the
course Of the ball.
In batting a player should stand
firmly on both feet. 1t does not 80
much matter what his position at bat
is, and he ought to take his most
natural position. but he must stand
on the balls of both feet to get the
force Of his body. arms and shout

there is lot in the way man holds
his bat. II is impossible to tell a
young player how to hold his bat He
must use his own motion and grip.
He can, however. learn to shift his
feet In hitting.
The quickness Of the eye Is espe-
cially valuable in playing the hit-and-
run game, and being able to follow
balls that are curved away or pitched
away from the plate to let the catcher
throw out runners. The batter who
can follow those balls and hit them.
