J have been fortunate enoueh
TINS year to be hitting considerably
better than the average batsman.
| have had the satisfactory expert
ence of driving in runs good
many times. My work has stood
somewhat above the magical 300
which all players crave.
So | think perhaps | may be
qualified to write a little bit about
batting for the benefit of the fans
who love a hit-telling some imper-
sonal things first.
What does man need to be a
good hitter?" is a question | have
often been asked.
Must Have Natural swinq.
First he should have what is
called a free. natural swing. That
does not mean a twist of his whole
upper body. nor q heave of his
shoulders. 1t means enough strength
and pliabiity in his arms alone to
be able to maneuver a bat high or
low, level or on an angle, and to
swing it hard enough to drive the
ball, having met it, powerfully and
swiftly,
Second, he needs a good, unfal-
tering eye to follow the ball from
the instant it leaves the pitchers
hand until it is close upon him
and an eye that telegraphs it's mes
sage instantly to his arm muscles.
Third, he needs confidence. He
needs to know this one thing: That
in a pinch"-where a hit means a
run-the opposing pitcher and out
fielders are more worried than he
is. Some players never learn that
lesson. They feel that they're in
the hole" not the other club. But
the good batter learns it and never
forgets it-makes his opponents
know it, too
Here's a recent illustration; On
our last visit to Cincinnati the
game was almost over. We were
two runs back; needed three to win.
McGraw sent in Harry Mccormick
to bat for the pitcher, with three
men on bases and two out.
Now, there's a fellow who had
been sitting on the bench all sea
son. doing nothing. The fans-even
some of the players-began to ask:
What is HE for? Do they really
pay that man regular money!"
Shows Nerve in Pinch.
But up he went TO the plate. say
ing as he started: Il guess that
bunch out there are worried some"
