suppose. when you get down 10 II,
there are several things that enable
n man TO hit home Frustrating eye,
how he stands at the plate, how he
swings, his strength and weight and
his confidence. Let's take them up
in order:
You stand there at the plate watch
ing the pitcher wind up. You haven't
way In the world OF knowing wJat
he is going 10 serve YOU and Il is not
much use trying to guess because n
good hurler can disguise his windup
so that you get fast one when you
think a curve ball Is coming The
thing TO do Is to keep your eye IN
the ball And I never go up TO the
plate that something inside OF me
doesn't whisper, Keep your eye on
the bail, Babe. Keep your eye on IT,

can hit the ball all the time even II
he keeps his eye glued on II, but the
fellow who has his lamp trimmed
and keeps 1t on will make a whole lot
more hits than the fellow who doesn't,
It's easy enough TO follow the ball

crets OF my hitting Is my ability TO
keep my eye on the ball longer than
any other batter. even until II starts
to break. We all know that real
curve holds It's course and does not
jump until II is almost at the plate
and that is why a batter must watch

ball ought to be but amt
II Is in this business OF keeping
