Hit EN- when they look good"
This is the advice of Joe Jackson to
youngsters--and to everyone else--who
aspire to husky batting average
Trying to walt out a pitcher is a
bad practice continued the mighty
slugger of the world champion White
Sox. THE figures will show that a
batter has twice as good chance Of
landing safely on first IL he swings at
the ball, than he has IL he tries to
work the twlrier for a pass.
"An average of thirty-six batsmen
usually face a pitcher during an or
binary ball game. Even the most
mediocre moundsmen rarely yield more
than four passes TO a game, which
means one base n-balls for every
nine batsmen. On the other hand. the
poorest of batters usually can average
around $50 In hitting, which means
one safety In every four times up. So,
you can see. the batter who swings at
the bali gets on base once in four
oftener due to errors. while the man
who. waits out the pitcher con-
sistently would arrive on base only
about once in nine times.
pitchers Of the present day are
smart fellows. They soon recognize
the waiterE-and the non-waiters.
They always put the ball in the groove
for the fellows who try to walt them
out. figuring that the batter won't
swing at the frst two balls. no matter
where they are--and usually the wait
ers don't The result Is that the first
two pitches are strikes and the pitch
sr has the batter In a mighty deep
tole.
THE successful hatters of today are
those who use their brains to eross
the pitcher. The twirlers are mighty
tricky fellows. and you've got to be
tricky, too. If you want to gather In
the base hits. IL your habit Is to let
the frst pitch so past. whether good
or bad, the pitcher soon learns that
failing of YOURS and invariably will
put the FIRST one right over Bat IL
you cross the pitcher by letting the
frst one go/over sometimes and then
shift the program by swinging at the

plate, you'H have him worried lie

In their first eight batters three 800

This Ia not so important as the fact
that ovS of their hrst eight hitters
the Sox hal seven men who were bat

only four who were hitting that well,
In other words. seven out of eight
of the Chicago men were averaging

won the series on it's merits. They

the fiiantr, ard fftv-four hits to lifty-
one for the Giants. what these figures
do not show ts that the Giants had
the better pitching.
The New York hurIers were more
effective with men on bases. In spite
of Chicago's heavier hitting. each team
earned sixteen runs. New York's
ffty-one hits were good for a total of
seventy bases. while the fifty-four
hits made by the White Sox were good
for total only Of sixty-three bases.
The White Sox did not earn a run
Off Benton IN fourteen innings. earned
only one of Perritt in eight and one
third innings and only two off Schupp
In ten and one-third innings The
Giants earned five runs off Cicotte in
twenty-three innings, and seven runs
off Faher In twenty-seven innings.
Therefore. while New York earned
twelve runs in fifty innings Off the
two most effective pitchers Of the
white Sox. the Chicago batters earned
only three runs In thirty-two and two
thirds innings off the three most ef-
fective pitchers of the Giants.
AS far as fielding went. the teams
were not far apart Chicago's field
ing average was 1852 and New York's
s4e. The Giants carefully inserted
most OF their errors where they did
the most harm.
OF the four games lost by the Giants
there was not one which might not
have been turned into a victory by a
couple of hits. or by better fielding.
or by better Judgment.
