 By TK COBB
 Detroit, August 24.--If a youngster wants to learn how to bat. the first thing he ought to do is to watch how the best batters work. Study their style, watch how they hold themselves, notice the way they hold their bats and how they swing them. There Is d reason for every movement that first class batter makes, and you will find out that reason for yourselves If you smitate them.
 A voungster should not try to use a bat that is too heavy for him. Most boys love 10 get hold of bat that has been used by some big player and try to use 1t. in spite of the fact that it is far too heavy for their strength. You should not use a bat that you cannot handle with ease and completely con- Htrol.
 Of course the most important thing in batting is your eye. Some eyes seem to be naturally formed for the Judging of distance and speed If 1t is at all possible to get a good coach it will help a lot. but boy who works hard win get there-if he has 1t in him.
 Aside from hitting. sliding is one of the most important points of the game. In this, as in batting, the best way to learn is to watch fellows do 1t who know how.
 If you want to be a good ball play CT remember to keep yourself in good physical condition, as this is absolute ly necessary. and clean living is the only way to health.

By FRANK BAKER

Philadelphia, August 2A-It Is very hard for me to lay down definite rules about how to learn to bat. It seems to come naturally to some fellows, while others try hard as they can and never seem to improve.
 l was a good batter as a kid, and so was Cobb. At the same time, both of us have improved a great deal since we began to play big league ball, and that shows practice means a whole lot My advice to the boys who want to be baseball players is, to play. Play when ever possible-every day.
 The most important thing a batter has to do is to train his eye to judge distance and speed and the only way to do this is to practice.
 Boys often think that if they had this or that kind of bat they could do wonders. They ought to forget all that sort of nonsense A boy can get just as good practice with broom handle as with the most expensive bat ever made.
 A good eye is not the only thing Q boy needs He should keep his body in the best possible condition In addition to swinging at a ball he ought to do other things-swim, run. try pitching and fielding. There have been plenty Of good pitchers who would never have made good batters.
 My best advice is, play often. live

BARONS OUTFIT THE GULLS,
 FIELD IN BETTER STYLE AND
 HURLING STAFF IS AS STRONG

Mique Finn, the leader of the Gulls. has declared that he Twill get the Barons and has sent a letter to President Baugh to that effect. Hold your best in reserve. ,, says Mique's epistle for We are right after you"
 The Irish leader has also declared that nearly half of Mobile will enter into Bir- mingham by daily excursions on Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday Friday and Satur- day and that he will have the proper backing.
 The Barons have no fear of MT. Michael Finn of Mobile. and have already said so In the past the Gulls have been able to get away pretty successfully, but if our memory proves true the last time the Gulls and the Barons met three straights were annexed. Again if our memory has not gone back, Young c. Smith won the first and third battles.
 Unless the right member of Smith S physique is amputated or he is the victim of machine" the Barons will take at least three.
 The Barons are going at lively clip now. The players are thinking and the pitchers are in form. Upon the last ap- pearance of every twirler save Hardgrove, the pitchers have showed form. Trough allowed five hits yesterday Smith per- mitted the same number of safeties to be annexed off his delivery Friday while Boyd allowed the Crackers but six on his last visit to the slag and in all, things look bright for complete victory over Mobile.
 The poor success in the past against the Gulls, however, has not been caused by improper pitching, but the inability of the hitters to connect safely with the Gull twirlers. However the Barons are hitting the billet right on the nose and again things look brilliant
 The Gulls have averaged little more than three runs to a game On the other hand the Barons have made more taIlies than any other club in the league. There Is not a player on the Mobile club who Is hitting as good as .2s0 while Birming- ham possess two 300 hitters-- cGilvray

and Almeida, while Johnston and Mes senger are hitting at a .2S0 clip.
 In the pinch there is not q more dan gerous man in the Southern league than Mcbride, while George Yantz may be de- pended upon at the crucial time. Carroll has developed a good ability to land time ly as has Dilger. The Barons outclass the Gulls in the hitting department.
 In fielding the Barons look better than the Mobile club. The outfield is superior to Mobiles. Jacobson, Long and Ma ioney cannot compare with Johnston, Messenger and Mcbride. Dee Walsh has nothing on Roy Ellam. while Marcan IS out of Starr's class as fielder. O'Dell and Paulette are considered to be more able in the field than McGilvray and Almeida, however.
 The Barons have the best catcher in the Southern league, Dilger. As a throw ing receiver Dilger is the first. He has allowed fewer stolen bases and leads in fielding. At the present time he is hitting hard and with timeliness. George Yantz is also a splendid baekstop. His throwing to the bases is good and he is like a brick wall behind a hurler He is dangerous individual with the stick and these two Yantz and Dilger-seem much stronger than the receiving department of the Gulls-Joe Dunn and Mueller.
 
 Al Demaree, Heinie Berger, Pug Ca- vet, Billy Campbell and Wild Bill Luhr- son are the members of the Gulls' twiri- ing corps Clarence Smith, Ray Boyd Bill Trough, Bill Foxen and Omar Hard grove compose the Baron hurling corps. Smith has demonstrated his ability to put 1t over Demaree. He will work when Demon AT ornates the mound while Bill Trough compares well with Berger. The left handers-Bill Foxen and Billy Campbell-seem evenly matched since Campbelrs return from Bonesetter Reese, while the other two membrs of the Baron staff are stronger than the Guls.
 The Baron pitching staff is just as able as the Guls. It is conceded that the Barons surpass the Gulls as hitters and felders. The pitching staffs are evenly matched, while the speed of the Birming- ham club is far ahead in the race
 y From the above comparisons, we believe that the Barons will defeat Mobile in the coming series and will cop the southern pennant. R. A. L..

BARONS OUTCLASS THE GULLS IN EACH AND EVERY WAY
FIELDING AVERAGES SHOW A
 GENERAL DEFICIENCY WHEN
 COMPARED WITH OTHER YEARS

The defensive play of the Southern league players for the season of 1912 will show a general deficiency in comparison with seasons gone by. This is proved by reason of the slump in fielding averages that have been marked this season in every position but the outfield and even tEere it is noticeable, though not as much.
 There are IA outfelders tied with a clean record, though most of them are pitchers or catchers who subbed there Hendry of New Orleans Lyons of At lanta and Johnson of Montgomery are the only regulars with clean marks.
 Clayton Perry of Nashville has since he was shifted from second to third base played a muchly improved brand of base ball and at the present writing he Is leading the third sackers of the league in fielding.
 Lindsay, the peppery little shortstop of the Nashville team, is leading all the players at that position. At this position the fielding has been especially bad on an average.
 Wares, the little second baseman of the Montgomery Bilikens, has done the best all around work around the keystone or sny player in the league.
 Earl Sykes of Montgomery leads the first sackers of the league, with Agler of Atlanta and his team mate Danzig push ing him q close second.
 Dilger the chubby little catcher of the Birmingham team, is the leading receiver having made but one error this season.
 The general run of pitchers averages is poor Although there are five men with a clean record, Campbell of Mobile is the real leader, with percentage of .9SS

Nashville, Tenn, August 24.-(Special.)- Although no contract has been signed for next season by Manager Bill Schwartz, it is almost certain that the presen. leader of the Volunteers will have charge or the destinies of the team again in 1913. The present season has been far fl om successful in every way, but the blane for this cannot be laid on the shoulders of the manager He has at last managed to get together a first-ciasg team and the fans are well satisfied with the prospects for next season, when, they are already predicting, Nashville should be right up in the scrap for first place.
 The chief cause of the failure of ths ,ean 10 prove a winner Is thought to be the fact that 1t was exiled for several weeks at the first of the season. because of legal entanglements which followed an attempt to play Sunday baseball. A change of ownership was effected before
