BY FRANK BAKER.

II is very hard for me TO lay down
definite rules about how to learn to
bat. II seems 10 come naturally TO
some fellows, while others try as hard
as they can and never seem TO inn
prove.
was a good batter as 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
whole lot.
My advice TO the boys who want
TO be baseball players IS, TO play.
Play whenever possible-every day.
The most important ming 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 a bat they could
do wonders. They ought 10 forget
all that sort of nonsense. A boy can
get just as good practice with a
broom handle as with the most expen-
sive bat ever made.
A good eye Is not the only thing a
boy needs. He should keep his body
in the best possible condition. In adj
dition TO swinging at 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
clean, and II ability is there. 1t will
come out.

II 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 a rehson for
every movement that a first-class bat
ter makes. and you will find out that
reason for yourselves II you initiate
them.
A youngster should not try TO use
bat that is too heavy for him. Most
boys love TO get hold of a bat that
has been used by some big player and
try and 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 COM
pletely control.
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, but
training will do great deal. II II is
at all possible to get a good coach II
will help lot, but boy who works
hard will get there II he has ii 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 II who know how.
II you want to be a good ball play
er, remember to keep yourself in good
physical condition. as this is abso-
lutely necessary. and clean living is
the only way to health.

PICK-UPS FROM THE
BIG LEAGUE FIELDS

There may be a fight for the
National pennant yet. Those who
saw the snap and class Of the
Cubs yesterday believe McGraw
10 yet In danger.
The defeat Of the Giants was
a hard blow TO New York fans,
for IL was a fierce battle all the
way. A close decision at home,
which resulted In the benchlng Of
Doyle and Meyers, nearly gave
the crowd heart failure.
lf-if-if-the Cubs should win
eleven straight and the Giants
should lose the same number In
succession, the percentage column
would show tie for the rag.
The PhllIIes got eight hits from
O'Toole in seven innings and

MoHars Now Among the nBosses.D


Ormsby McHarg, one of the mana.
gers of the late Roosevelt campaign,
has announced that he will support
Mr. Taft. He says:
II supported Colonel Roosevelt as
a Republican, having no notion at
that time that he was anything else.
/ was bitterly disappointed to find
later what his real intentions were. l
am under no obligations to him or any
body else, however, to get out Of the
Republican party, and do not intend to
do 30. believe there is abb
solutely no future for the new third
party beyond Colonel Roosevelt. If
the new party expects to live 1t will
have to take out life insurance pol
Icy on the colonels life. Their cry Of
fighting the bosses" is already being
dissipated, by the winds OF public
opinion. l do not think that Penrose
Is bit more dangerous than Finn,
and some Of the other so-called Re,
publican bosses have quite as good q
standing with the voters as has Mr..
Perkins"
OF course, McHarg has, by his &C.
ton, ranked himself with the bosses.
For we know that boss is a man who
opposes Roosevelt. Woodruff was
boss till he came into the camp of the
third termer, and so was Finn. But
they have gone through a process of
sanctifcation. 1t is precisely so with
McHarg. He was not a boss when
he was doing for Roosevelt the work
of a boss. But having broken rela,
tons with "the only perfect man" he
necessarily sinks to the boss level. We,
therefore, fully expect to hear him de-
nounced as an exponent OF crooked
politics" Even Penrose was "all
right" when he was running Roose-
velt's campaign in Pennsylvania.

ON TARIFF
HOSIERY SCHEDULE SUPPLIES
CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF ITS
PRACTICAL EFFECTS.
PROTECTION RATE TOO HIGH
Labor Cost Of Production In This
Country Little More Than In Eu.
rope Notwithstanding Difference
In Wages.

We have received the following ap-
peal for light on the tariff:
rs this the Democratic idea OF the
tariff: That If the tariff is taken off
hosiery the American product will be
undersold by the German because it
can be produced cheaper in that coun.
try than 1t can In the United States !?
Would this be true of all things now
carrying tariff"
So far as we are aware. the Demo.
cratic party has never made any dec.
laration on hosiery, but we are glad
that Item was specified, because It
erords a peculiarly clear and intelli.
gible illustration of the.practical ef-
feet OF the tariff. Hosiery worth a
dollar dozen pairs in Germany is
taxed under our tariff 60 cents and Is
per cent, or rs cents. Omittine
freight and commissions and incl
dental charges, this hosiery. then.
could be sold here for $1.75 dozen.
The census bulletins show that in
hosiery the wages constitute about
one-fourth Of the value of the prod.
uot On domestic stockings worth
N.76 a dozen, therefore, the total
labor cost would be about A cents.
The position of the manufacturer.
then, Is that where he pays A cents
to his working people he gets .75 cents
OF protection. The Democratic partv
does not believe that he needs any
such rate of protection. The labor
cost Of production In this country Ia
little more than 1t is In Europe in
any line, and In many lines 1t is much
less. In the last fiscal year we ex.
ported more than a billion dollars
worth Of manufactured goods. In
July more than half of the exports
were manufactured goods. or course.
II 1t cost more to produce manufacture
cd goods here than In Europe we
could not export on any such scale
as this. The employees In our machine

or course, the Democratic party
does not believe that lowering duties
would close our mills and throw all
our people out of employment. If II
did 1t would not advocate reducing
duties The reports Of the tariff

cost Of production Is often lowest
where wages are highest. There is a
book on the efficiency Of labor. or the
relative costs Of labor where wages
are high and where they are low. by
Jacob Schoenhoff. There is a volume
OF lectures on Work and Wages" by
Lord Brassey, and another book nv
him on similar subject, which. of
course, have no specific reference to
