BY no means do ball players vote
place hitting as q bugaboo Of years

be a fixed opinion that where it is a

in any particular part OF the lot, the
pitcher has the percentage Of chances,
provided he has the control and the
master mind to outguess the bats

In short. Il Is the belief that place
hitting has not kept pace in its de-
velopment with the defensive play Of
the infield. Pitchers admit that the
chances OF a batsman lie mainly in
crossing the pitcher into missing his
guess as to the batsman's intentions
and pulling for the kind OF bali that
is fatal to the finest and classiest fea-
lures of the much talked-of inside
