HOOPER'S CLOUT STREAK

Capt. Harry Hooper, Of the Red

quit. During his long hitting period,
Harry banged out 20 hits in 80 trips.

The Washington times., 1920-06-05

The various styles of bat
welding practised by great hit
ters completely destroys the
theory that there is any such
thing as standard grip or that
one is necessary to insure sue
cess in hitting the ball safe.
In the accompanying pictures
are shown the hand grips of
leading hitters in the two major
leagues. Babe Ruth obtains his
marvellous propelling force by
swinging long heavy bat which
he grasps at the extreme end OF
the handle with his hands close
ly joined. An ordinary athlete
could not handle this stick, but
Ruth swings it as if it were a
toothpick. Ruth usually grips
the end or "nub" of the bat in
the right hand. He has at times
been compelled to tape his right
hand on account of the wear on
the outer edge of the palm.
Zack Wheat is another left
handler who takes the extreme
hold but he is different type
from Ruth in that he snaps at a
ball more than he follows
through" Speaker and Cobb
choke" just a\little. Both OBJ
tain unusual driving power by
hitting with their left elbows
low. Eddie Collins employs a
similar grip. He is shown here
at the top of his swing.
Heine Groh, of the Reds, has a
style that is all his own, aid
not likely to be extensively cop
led. Groh stands flat-footed at
the plate, directly facing the
pitcher with his feet in line
with the plate. He "chekos" to
an unusual degree and holds his
bat out in front of his body in
horizontal position and even
with his head until the pitcher
delivers, when he quickly falls
into a more orthodox batting
posture. Joe Jackson, of the
White Sox, is another heavy bat
