Birdie Cree Of New York HiahIander..

Many good batters keep their feet
close together. but Birdie Cree, one of
the best, keeps his wide apart. He
faces the pitcher with body as well as
head. his feet, one in front of the
other, both pointing out toward the
diamond. Apparently he carries the
weight on the forward foot and bats
Oh Of one leg. He makes a fagpole
out of the bat and waves it, grasping
it at the end. He gets his whole
weight in his blows, but without being
a body swinger. Body. legs and arms

not gracefully, co-ordinated.

but he can hit from any position and
sometimes changes. His body is in
his swing and his arms more so. Some
times he swings so hard he all but
falls down II he doesn't land, and
sometimes he takes slow swing. He

wise old heads who were enjoying
their second time on earth in the
Dixie sun more than he ever knew
about baseball. In return, he showed
them something they never saw in
the way of speed. A scout for the St.
Louis Cardinals saw him perform and
marveled that such youngster should
have been overlooked at home. He
came back and told the Cardinal man.

much encouragement, but insisted, and
finally it was concluded to give Bobby

There are people who rarely wink.
How they manage to get along with
out doing so Is a marvel, but some
how or other they do. Some eyes are
naturally more moist than others. and

tional matter. for winking. though
under the control of the will, is done so
quickly that it is practically an invol-

feel that the eye is uncomfortably dry.
and when it does not become dry the
necessity for winking is not felt.

fers at. balls over his head or across
the plate from him. On hit and run
play he and Chase have been known
to lunge across the plate and clout a
near wild pitch safely past the In
field.
Another star hitter, Eddie Collins. is
loose and shambling at the plate. His
movements, however, are under per-
feet control. He hasn't the quiet
poise Of the more statuesque Lajoie.
and his bat is held in various posi-
tons, though he doesn't wriggle 1t as
do some batters. Wherever held, he
brings it into use with the swiftest
of motions when ready to hit. He is
absolutely unconstralned at the bat,
the picture Of unconcern, but for all
that alertly confident. Though COM
paratively small, he, like Byrne of the
Pirates, hits the ball almighty hard.
Ponderous or agile, awkward or
graceful, style and form are of as
much variance among the best batters
as there are batters. One thing they
have in common. the discriminating
eye.
