 swing. why you're off balance as you hit the ball and before you can re- cover and start for first you've lost nearly second
 | When you remember that the diff
 ference between a hit and a putout in
 an infield grounder is just about one
 step, small fraction of a second you
 can appreciate how vitally necessary
 1t is for you to be in a position to shoot
 for first with the crack of the bat
 against the ball'
 l How do you explain batting streaks and slumps" I asked.
 | T can't, unless I compare them with a game of draw poker" answered Ty. "Youll sit in game of poker one night and no matter what kind of hand you hold, it is beaten. Three of a kind, straights, flushes, and even full houses are beaten by one of the other fellows. Nothing will win for you. But the very next night, perhaps, you'll win. with anything; pair of aces will win
 dozen big pots for you; two small
 pairs will stand up for you; threes will win huge pots. Practically every hand you hold tops the other fellows.
 Batting is much the same way. Every swing you make finds the base
 ball and sends it where the other fel- low ain't No matter where you drop the ball, it's hit But perhaps the very next day, and for days and weeks afterard. nothing that you hit will go safe. You'll smash the ball like you did the day before, but always it's into
 some waiting hands. You'll hit a long the infield that looks like a sure hit And then some infielder makes a mir Gle stop and throws you out. Or you'll hammer one to the outfieId that's tick eted for three basses. whereupon an outfielder makes a circus catch Successful batting is due largely to watching the ball. to perfect timing and perfect swinging. But don't forget that luck is mighty factor; luck fre-
 quently determines if you'll hit beyond 300 or long way under it."

i Nea1S a uIIIefent SODD tnan dom has knOwn-the real Ty Cobb; | it reveals some of the inside de- l tails of many of the remarkable | incidents of his career. It is 1 story different than ever has been written before and one that no 1 lover of baseball should miss What is the secret of hitting?' I asked Ty Cobb
 And he answered.:
 There isn't any"
 But" I insisted, suppose you were advising someone how to hit success fully, what would be your first bit of advice?'
 'Watch the ball." answered the mightiest swatsmith that the game has ever known. AS soon as the pitcher swings his arm at you, try to locate the ball When you've done that, keep your eye on it-never take it off until you have made your swing or the ball has gone into the catchers mitt. Just like control is the all-essen- tial need of twirler, so is watch the ball the big thing in batting success. If you cant get line on the ball until its almost up to you you'll never be a good batsman Youll be easy pick
 n's all the time for a pitcher But if
 you get that ball focused at almost
 the same fraction of a second that it
 leaves the pitchers hand, you've ac- quired the most vital asset of a bats man.
 "rhe man who picks up the ball ali
 most as soon as it begins to move to-
 ward him has a long timeAcompara lively speaking-to judge it. He can see whether it will be a good ball---or
 bad one. If it's bad he knows he won't offer at it. If it's good. he can make up his mind and. when the ball sails up at him. his brain and muscle coordinate in the effort to hit
 But the fellow who doesn't fol- low the ball never can make up his mind what he's doing until the ball is almost on top of him. Then he swings. Chances are that the swing ill-tmed- and it's a. strike on him. or he pops up or sends out weak grounder."
 How about swinging at the ball?" asked
 Never do it with all the force that you've got-that's my advices." answer cred Ty. some fellows do, but never with any sustained success. Occasion ally they smash ball out of the lot,
 but only occasionally. Even Babe Ruth, mighty slugger that he is, does not put all his power behind the bat. He knows it isn't necessary, and he realizes the folly of it.
 The man who swings with all his might never can place hits, and rarely does he get into the 300 class. His full strength swing is against him. The fellow who swings with all his might soon becomes imperfect in his timing, he loses balance when he swings and F usually becomes an easy prey for the pitchers who curve ball roundhouse swinger to death.
 A good healthy swing, with the bat propelled largely by the power of the arms and shoulders, that's the thing. l You've got more than an even chance | ,f meeting the ball on the nose with l hat sort of swing. Furthermore, | when you do hit the ball, your body is | n perfect balance and you're all set O run to first. But, with a full body

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To anyone who doesn't know of the.
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
In the last few years it may sound strangA.
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say cigs-.
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smoh-
ers of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company arc
producing millions of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have cigarette for the wounded soldier,

thing asked for.-Adv.
