batting and speedy baserunning.
Right now Williams is not up to
major league calber, but Evers fig
ures that if the youngster will study
his own defects and listen to men
who have had experience he will bud
into star.
Tall and long-armed, Williams puts
terrific power into his swing, and
when he hits the ball it usually goes
on line. Sad, but true, he has an
unfortunate habit of striking out. But
it is noticeable that he doesn't go
after bad balls. He is tanning on
pitches that come over the plate. The
only trouble is that they cross the
rubber at such an angle he is helpless.
There is one similarity in the bat
ting of Ty Cobb (when he broke i'm
and Williams. The Cubic can't hit
low curve on the inside of the plate.
Neither could Cobb the first two or
three years he was in the big show.
Every fan remembers how soft the
Peach was for Doc White and his
low drop.
But the Georgian set himself to
master the deceptive shoot. Each
morning at the Detroit park he had
a left-handed pitcher sling low curves
for an hour. or so, and Cobb swung
diligently He experimental with diff
ferent positions when standing at the
plate. He changed the time of his
swings and the way of holding his
bat. And he mastered that curve.
There is no reason why Williams
can't do the same thing. He is bet
ter natural batter even than Cobb.
Right here let it be said that, despite
the healthy record he rolls up, Cobb
is not naturally as strong a batter as
several men in the American League,
notably Jackson and Sam Crawford.
But Tyrus made study. of every
ounce of his ability. For this he
should be given more credit than the
men to whom smuggling is gift.

doesn't he may as well reconcile HIM
self to a berth in the minors. Few
batters with a glaring weakness stick
in the big tent.
Either RUDE Marquard or Christy
Mathewson will pitch the first game
against the Cubs tomorrow The
Giants play two games with Pitts
burgh today, but it is not likely Nc
Graw will employ both of his stars.
The one who rests today will face the
locals Sunday: Larry Cheney is Ev-
ers' present selection, and HUMPHREYS
will get the job in a later game. Left
handlers are not very successful
against the Giants, SO this may mean
that Jimmy Lavender will get some :.
regular duty to perform.
Definitely in the second division,
the White Sox have one thing on
which to congratulate themselves.
They have tied with the Mackmen
on the series for the year. Twenty
two times Callahan and his gang
have engaged the Athletics, and each
team was on the right end of the
score IL times Indications are that !
at the end of the season the Sox will !.
be the only team which can point to }
such good record against the conn.,
ing champions. Z
If the Galatians had played the [
same brand of ball against st. Louis,
Boston and New York that they did |
against the Macks they would be up
in the first fight, probably battling
with Cleveland and Washington in
a three-cornered fight for the runner-l
up position. z
On paper the Sox deserve a higher
position. On actual performance
they are right where they belong
