Dobie Turns Loose
When the big Varsity end was IN

give him the panning OF his life.

II was in the other. and here. you

because the home folks tell you
that you are a wizard n no sign

The tall coach's breath was fast
ebbing away. and he turned to

The hardest hitters In base.
balI-the fellows who connect
with the old pill and drive II
tho farthcst-the real fence
busters, prove that the laws Of
physics work out In baseball
Just az they do In n scientific
laboratory.
These sluggers, almost to n unit.
are tall men with long arms and
most Of them use long bats.
And the long hits result from the
great leverage they get which can
not be attained by the player with
short arms or the player who
"chokes" up on his bat and polSes

The longest hitter 10 not nee.

markable that the most power

are not even In the 800 class.
Walter Pipp was generally cred.
tied the heaviest hitter In the
American league last year. He bat.
ted only .262, but he led the league
In home runs and made many
triples and doubles. All OF his
drives were long and crashed to
the outfield with remarkable speed
and force
There may be many fans who
question Plpp's right to be consid-
cred the heaviest swatter In the
league. put the question up 70

ting, who told me he considered
Pip superior to either Sam Craw-
ford or Joe Jackson on long drives.
Plpp is q tall, lono-armed
man. He uees a 42-lnch bat.

ball rules, and when he meets
the ball with a free swing
there 10 a tremendous leverage
behind the sphere.
Crawford and Jackson are both
long-armed. Both meet the ball
with free swings and get tho adj
vantage of leverage.
In the National league. the hard
est hitter perhaps is Fred Luderus
OF the Philadelphia club. a .2S9 bat.
ter last year. whose great reach,
aided by the length of his war club.
gives him tremendous hitting
power.
Heine Zimmerman. who uses n
much tighter bat. and Cy Williams
of Chicago. are also terrific hitters.
Both are long.armed and use long
bats.
The leverage principle has nj.
ways applied In baseball.
Perhaps the hardest hitter Of
all times was Ed Delehanty.

Gotham Fans
Like to See
Miske Battle

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-The two
bouts staged recently in New York
between Billy Miske. the light.
weight demon OF ST. Paul. and Jack
Dillon. the indianapolis wiz. have
accomplished at least one thing.
They have proved beyond a ques-
ton that the fans never will be
satisfied as to who is really the
better man until the two have had
n chance TO mill II out In n long
bout. with referees decision
tackled onto the last round.
Each bout between the two I'm
New York has resulted in an over
whelming opinion among New York
newspapers in favor OF Miske.
Each time, however. there have
been enough dissenting voices to
make Il quite apparent that enough
of shade was not earned to war
rant a decision.
In the first bout, two papers
awarded n decision to Dillon, while
two others called the bout a draw.
slam-Bang Affair
Such slamming and banging as
has been INDUCED In by these boys
certainly calls for better opportu-
nifty than has been afforded I'm New
York, with a referee who refused
to recognize that Queensberry rules
call for man TO fight with one arm
free. They deserve a bout some
where where the proceeds will be
enough to compensate them for the
splendid exhibitions they give. Also.
they deserve the decision that
would be given.
New York promoters undoubtedly
will be after n return match be-
tween the boys. The fans like that
kind of milling. and they'd be the
greatest attraction possible. with
the exception of Les Darcy, In their
division. 1t is not improbable that
Darcy will be matched with one or
the other.
