the league today who can place a ball
where he wants it.
There are number of players who
claim they can place ball, but there
was only one that I ever thought could
do it, says Mullin. THAT was Willie
Keller. I think he was one of the
greatest hitters the game ever pro-
duced. He seemed to know exactly
where every ball he hit was going to
land. I saw him bunt perfectly with
two out and three on in the ninth inn
ing. No batsman would have attempt
ed to do thing of that kind unless
he had perfect confidence in his abil-

wanted it. Keeler rolled the ball be-
