brilliant double play In a recent
game against the Phillies. Hogg
was on first and Cady OH third,
whenWhitted hit a fly to Young.
Hogg thought Cady would try to
score and that Young would
throw home, so he lit out for
second. Cady held his base,
Young threw to second ahead of
Hogg, and the latter was caught
between first and second. He
turned back to first. Doyle
threw over Chase's head at first.
Young raced in, got the ball and,

Clark Griffith-always an extrava-

renowned baseball sage--fs ready to
boost Foster. Here is a sample:
'T have had on my teams the three
greatest place hitters in the history Of
baseball, and want to tell you that
Of the three, Eddie Foster is the best.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-07-31

The others are Willie Keller and Hal
Chase. Willie taught Hal, and Hal
taught Eddie.
Foster is the smartest batter ever
saw. A pitcher usually can tell by the
position Of the batters feet just where
he hopes to hit, just as boxer gets a
line on the schemes Of his opponent by
watching his opponents feet. If you
see a right-hand batter's feet set for
an attempt to hit to right field, you
can pitch fast inside, and nine times
out of ten he will pop up"
