NEW YORK. oct. 27.-If the base

Weeghman. who runs the Chicago

plans. This year, he declared today. he
is going right ca through with them.
Weeghman has the idea that hitterS

peated assertion. proved many times
according to present methods. that real
hitters are Just simply able TO crack
'em and the boys who don't hit EN- can't

with mis- new idea.
Just about g year ago Weeghman
conceived the idea Of taking a crack
golfer to California with him and sick
ing him onto the boys with the purpose
Of showing them a golf swing in their
batting. A follow-through blow, such
as ia used IN golfing. Weeghman con-
tended. could be put to good advantage
on a baseball club.
