1t is a well-known fact that the
prep teams are weak with the stick.
The reasons are these:
In the first place, the boys lack
experience, and it is comparative
ly easy matter for a pitcher to fish
them-that is, to make them go after
bad balls that are either too high
or too close to the batter.
Then, too, the most of these boys
do not swing true. Instead of chok-
ing the bat and taking good,
choppy swing at the ball, they hold
the stick way on the end and then
take a fuil-armed "swipe." This will
cause the batter to miss more often
than he hits, although when he does
connect he often gets a long drive.
A few professionals can swing the
bat full, but 1t cannot be done by
an amateur with any marked degree
of success.
1t is a mistaken idea among most
young ball players that a ball must
be hit an awful wallop on the nose
in order to make it travel to the
outfield. A ball, if hit sqnarely with
a stiff. choppy swing, will travel as
far and as fast as one hit by full

and with the most accuracy. Collins
and Zimmerman showed last year
that they have wonderful wings, and
can hop the pill into the plate with
wonderful skill. Myers nipped one
man at second on a nifty throw and
got another man at the plate during
the exhibition games. He apparently
has a great whip. The dispute as to
whether he is as good as Collins and
Zimmerman is what caused the argu-
ment.

Who Finds 1t Hard to Hit

swing, and the results are much
more certain.
Perhaps the worst falling among
batters in the schools is that they
pull the front foot back when step
ping up to swing at ball. This
causes them to miss the ball entirely
or to foul. 1t also swings the eyes
away from the ball instead of to-
ward 1t.
Still another fault is that when
they attempt to bunt they pull the
bat away from, instead of pushing
1t into, the ball, and they step away
from the diamond when they should
step into it.
Great batters like Lajoie and Wag-
ner are able to do this only after
years Of experience, and it is not at
all probable for the schoolboy.
The school player. when hitting at
a low one, lofts, like golf player.
The only way to hit low ball cor
rectly is to spread the feet and
lower the body so that the bat can
be swung parallel to the advancing
ball; otherwise, If it is hit at all,
which is not likely, 1t will be high
infield fly and will be easily handled.
