NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Hugh Jennings
says Crawford is the hardest hitting
batsman of any time. Crawford leads
In long hits. which goes a good way
toward proving Jennings assertion. The
matter. however. has It's qualifications.
There are. or have been. batters who
drove the ball away from the bat with
as much velocity as Crawford imparts.
but who didn't make as many long hits
because they didn't have as much loop
to the drive. The ball went straighter
and hadn't the Crawford lift to carry
long distances. that is. the lift and Ihe
impetus combined. the compound force
which Crawford excels in bestowlng
