JOHNSON'S CROSS
FIRE puzzles
BAT|IERls

One of the factors which give Wal
ter Johnson, Washington's great pitch
er, his effectiveness is his cross-fire
delivery While Johnson's almost un-
paralleled speed would make him a
wonderful pitcher, though he did not
possess another attribute except con-
troll, it is the manner in which he
cuts the ball across the plate that
makes him more to be dreaded by the
batters. 1t has often been wondered
why Jackson and Cobb, two left-hand
hitters who scarcely ever hit at a
ball not over, are continually swinging
at balls both inside and outside of the
plate-straight balls, too, with not a
semblance of a curve on them. The
reason has been mentioned. The cross
fire which Johnson uses sends the
ball across the plate at such a vary
ing angle it is impossible to judge it
accurately all the time. Johnson
stands on the extreme right end of
the pitchers slab while pitching and
when he winds up takes a step toward
the third base line and with his ex-
ceptionally long arm swings the Lall
toward the plate, not directly, as most
pitchers do, but at an angle which is
very deceptive. to the man at bat.
Johnson varies the angle and at
times cuts the ball loose two or three
times in succession SO that it will go
three or four inches inside of the
plate from wide angle and yet cause
the batter to think that it is coming
over Consequently he takes a swing
at it and realizes his mistake after he
has missed. Then Johnson will shoot
a fast one directly toward the outside
corner of the plate, with the result
that the batter takes another ineffec-
tual swing at it, it being almost i'm
possible for him to gauge where the
ball is going to cross the plate in
front of him.

Osopher," in the World of Golf.
Though | can only counsel the ordi-
nary player against trying any such
experiments, these peculiarities of ia

that there is no more interesting per-
son on the links than the crack player
who defies the Canons of golf learn
ing. To see a man continually doing
the right thing in the admittedly
wrong way is refreshing, invigorat-
ing and encouraging sight. No doubt
the disbeliever succeeds in spite OF,
and not because of, his flouting of the
axioms of the game, but so long as
he succeeds there seems to be hope
for anybody. That, at least, is a COM
forting way of looking at it. The sim
pie fact of the matter is that he has
a natural gift of hitting the ball prop

by several great players lat least in

and the strange qualities of these few
celebrities deserve consideration.
1t is said that Tom Ball is resuming
his habit of dragging the left foot
several inches along the ground dur
ing the course of the backward swing
of the club, and that, with the reap

would be condemned in any ordinary
player, he is recovering his old form.

left foot, he gained second place on
two occasions in the open champion

the cognoscenti unanimously declared
to be a fault, with the result that his
powers began, if anything, to decline.
He has restored the habit to place
of honor in his style and has worked
his golf back-friends say-to its old
state of brilliancy.
