ty) Beach, was today prepared to
fight the charge that he assaulted his
wife with his knife at their winter
home at Aiken, s. c.. Beach was

was asked to comment on the charge,
"but when the proper time comes I
will do plenty of talking, and I'll do
1t very willingly. Just now there il
no use trying to make me talk

 Take Sam Crawford for instance. Sam Is a good hitter, but he always assumes the same firm stand at the plate, swinging his black stick up wards Moriarity also plants his feet and etoops to the same posture every time he goes to the plate. They have never varied this batting pQsition since entering the major league. Frank Baker, the Philadelphia s1ugger, is an always trying to do something to inn prove his work
 Baker is one of the leading batters in the league, hitting around a $50 clip Recently Baker has been trying to master the knack of hitting up- with a downward chop.
