he followed the ball through or not.
About one in ten players do it. Thel
others hit with their arms and really
check the motion of the bat when
they hit ball.
Among players and managers there
is a foolish old tradition that ball
players cannot be taught to bat-that
batting is a natural gift. If a fan
wants to get disliked by players, about
the easiest way for him to accom-
plish it is to argue that players can
learn to hit. They simply refuse to
stand for 1t and brand every one who
suggests such a possibility as a bug"
Yet it can be done Some day there
Will arise a manager who believes II
can be done and he will develop a
great team.
A few years ago Prof. Lansing Per-
kins, now dead, came to me with an
idea. Perkins was perhaps the best
known teacher of billiards in America.
He had trained and developed scores
of the best billardists in the country,
his last and perhaps greatest achieve
ment being with Welker Cochran,
The professor knew nothing about
baseball, but he proposed to me that
club in the major leagues to teach the
players how to bat. Naturally,
| grinned. Then Perkins took me to a
billiard table. set up a bail and told
! me to hit it as hard as possible and
| see how far | could drive Il around
! the cushions / walloped the ball
and watched it, Then he gave me
practice in following through the
stroke with the wrist. In two trials
! | drove the ball around the table
three more times than | had been
| able to do when hitting it with full
| force.
He then took hammer and a ten
penny nail and told me to drive the
nail, counting the strokes. He took
the second nail, showed me how to
follow through with the wrist, and |
drove the second nail in four fewer
strokes and with much less effort.
/ During the next few days | tried
out that follow through with the
wrist in fly-casting, in cracking a
whip, and in half dozen other ways.
Then | adapted it to hitting a base
! ball. | found myself hitting the ball
much further and with much less
effort.
"Perk." l said, ait is useless to try
/ to tell a manager you can teach his
players to bat. He'll think you're
crazy and the players Will only kid
you. The thing to do is to get one
1 player, the worst hitter you can find
take him away privately and try il
on him. IL you can teach one and he
really shows Improvement the others
will be begging you to teach them.
! About a week later | met Perkins
and he was sad.

We were speaking of hard hittersI
and someone remarked that Babe
Ruth hits baseball harder than
any player that ever lived. lmmedi-
ately there was an argument and in
side of five minutes nine different lat
tors were named as the hardest hit
tcrs."
Personally, | think Ruth applies
more power to his swing, that he is
perhaps the nest powerful batter we
ever knew, but do not think that he
hits a ball as hard as other players,
some of whom were small and weak
by comparison, have done, | think
Frank Schultz hit ball harder dur
ing two seaosns. that Buckley Free
man did. that Ed Delehanty, Dan
Erouthers. Elmer smith and Honus
Wagner all hit the ball harder
The difference between Ruth and
some of these hitters is the same as
between me and Jerry Travers at golf
| can swing a club harder and he hits
the ball harder.
Walter johnson, at times hits bal
harder than Ruth does and, with one
exception, ! think he made the long
est drive | ever saw in a ball game.
The exception was a ball hit by Eddie
Doheny, a pitcher, on the chicago
ground in the way back when he
hit the ball entirely over the club
houses in center field.
Ruth had a great year last year. If
you watched him closely you would
nave observed that he changed his
swing radically after he started hit
ting hard He hit freely and without
that tightening of the muscles which
marked his batting up to that time.
In other words, Ruth, perhaps I'M
consciously commenced to follow
through" with his b5t. and started to
get the additional drive at the instant
of contact which makes the ball traV-
81 harder.
The year Schultz made his wonder
full record for home runs he was
swinging that same way-folioWinS
through While he kept hitting he dld
it with every swing. Then a batting
slump came, he commenced to get
anxious, frightened up his wrist ana
forearm muscles and, although he hit
the bail seemingly as hard as ever
the home runs did not materializa
The fact is that every great batter
that is, a long distance driver, follows
through his stroke. You remember
Wagner's sweeping swing? After ne
hit d ball his bat swung entirely
around owe. his shoulder. You car
tell by the way a batter throws away

PEACE IS

Paris, March Is (by the Associated

Is, the British, it is understood. will
concede the point, although they still
believe that the preliminary pact is
not the proper place for tho Inaugural
lion Of the league, which. they declare,
should be included in the final peace

This attitude was indicated today

American delegation strongly desired
The inclusion of the league in the pre-
liminarv treaty, as well as in the final
pact
The British. it is made known, do
not wish to delay the league of ma

express the keenest desire for the inn
mediate signing of the preliminary
peace treaty, so as to alleviate unsat-
isfactory conditions resulting from the
continuance of the armistice.
In order to get speedy action, they
propose to strip the preliminary COM

they believe, include the league OF

ish program, would be taken up inn
mediately after the conclusion OF the
prcliminaries of peace and with any
amendments which might be added
would be made part of the final pact
