EDDIE COLLINS TALKS ON
OUTGUESSING THE PITCHER

he hits ball the hardest Of any
batter today In the league. Two hits
by him will always be very wildly
remembered BY me, because eaon 81
them only missed my head about an
inch as was running from first to
second.
One was a rifle-like shot OF q drive
in the third game Of the Athletic-C Cubs
series in 1910. It skipped just once
on the damp turf, struck Schultz on
the shin, caromed off, and Sheckard
relayed the ball in from left field, and
the scorers gave the Cub right field
ser an error on the play.
The other ball was a line drive that
hit a fellow by the name Of Moeller,
!. second baseman of the San Fran
cisco club. on the knee cap and neces-
STATED his removal to hospital,
where he was confined two weeks.
Certain situations in the game, such
as a man on second and third base.
will call for a batter to pursue diff
ferent course at bat. While ordinar-
lily he might choose to play a waiting
game. base hit is the thing In de-
nand here, and the batter should not
let a good ball get by.
We had big catcher year or SO
ago who had every requirement of a
major Lacquer except that ne did not
hit quite up to standard. Whether
this was due to a poor eye or what,
he missed lot of his swings Not
only this, he let a lot OF good balls
pass unmolested. Art. said Con

see you take another strike. Not only
You, but any batter who is not reason
ably sure of hitting every BAH he
swings at, never ought to take a
STRIKE This little advice improved
this players hitting immensely.
The ruling recently effected by the
demands of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity requiring a clear green back
ground in center field free from adj
yertisements, which heretofore has
been a menace to batsmen. will do
much to increase hitting. Particularly
will this change be welcomed In Co
miskey park, the home Of the White
Sox. In recent years 300 hitters on
that club have been as scarce as
hens teeth. Their absence can be
traced primarily to certain unfayor-
able conditions; namely, poor back
ground in center field and a wind
which blows seven.eighths Of the time
directly against the batting. Men
like Harry Lord, Hal Chase and "Pat"
Dougherty hit over 800 before they
were sent to Chicago, but not since,
sc the above appears like logical
explanation for the falling off in the
averages.
