Retrieving their swatting optics,
the Southern league batters are slowly
gaining steadfast eye on the shoots
and hooks of the twirlers. In April

the batters at their mercy, for the
idleness of winter had robbed the bat
ting eye of its accuracy and quick
ness. But the hurting records show
that this alertness is returning.
Shutout! The most glorious vic
tory for the home team, and the most
humiliating defeat for the losing ag-
gregation. Fourteen shutouts were
scored during the days of April, while
the duldrom marksmen were blanked
21 times during the sessions of May.
But when June | rolled around, the
batsmen started regaining their view

six scoreless battles have been
recorded.
