HOW TO BAT
For the Best Batting Results
BY Rogers HOinsby

Champion Batsman of the National
League, 1920.
In considering the qualifications
OF good batter, the principal one
Is to have the eye" No matter
how strong man Is. or how big.
unless his eye is able to follow the
ball accurately after 1t leaves the
pitchers hand, his strength or his
size will avail him nothing.
AS to the size OF tho bat tho
choice Is simple enough. Some
boys have the idea that the heavier
the bat. the farther the ball will
go. There Is no truth in this. The
best bat for you to use Is the one
you can WELD easily-one which
has real wood In 1t so that ball
met fairly will travel on a line to
the spot you tried to reach.
The best position to assume at
the plate Is the most natural posi-.
ton. Really, this Is half the battle
in batting. You often see a big
league batter taking unnatural
crouches while at the plate, but you
will look in vain for his name
among the list of leading batsmen.
1t seems to me that a player stand.
Ing well away from the plate has
the better position. for he can
step into" the pitch, while one
who crowds" the plate might be
unable to connect with ball inside
because he Is compelled to meet
1t with that part of the bat near
the handle.
However. there are some mighty
good hitters who stand up close,
80 the best thing to advise as to
batting position is to assume the
most natural one.
After all. though, 1t is the eye"
that counts.
Note: This is the first of series
of articles, each one by some big
league baseball player. Don't miss
them II you like baseball.

AOLYOKE BOOSTER TRIP
PROVES REAL SUCCESS
WARM WELCOME RECEIVED IN

Tuesday of this week, twenty-five
automobiles filled with Holyoke busi-
ness men and number of ladies
started from Hotyobe at twenty min
utes after eight on trip to various
surrounding towns to advertise the
coming celebration on July and the
Holyoke chautauqua.
The cars, well covered with ban
ners and pennants regarding these
two important events, were, under the
able direction Of Forrest Hethcote,
and were on the followinw schedule
arranged in advance:
Julesburg-arrive $40: leave, 9:45.
Big Springs-arrive, 1915.
Venango-arrive 1900: leave. 1920.
Grant (dinner). arrive 1880 p. m,
leave 2:45.
Imperial-arriye 400.
Lamar arrive 500.
Holyoke-arrive, $50.
This time card was adhered to
very closely until Imperial was
reached when it was decided to make
a detour from the established route
to visit Champion, Nebraska, and
Amherst, Colorado, these changes
causing a delay of about one hour,
ard Holoyoke was reached about that
much later
The boosters were well received at
every town visited, and much favor
able comment was overheard on the
music furnished by the Holyoke band
and the singing of Mr.. Snider, a men,
Der of the baEd.
A boxing match was staged at sew
eral Of the stops between Fighting

both of Holyoke; and this feature
created much enthusiasm wherever
the bouts were put on.
Special mention must be made of
the reception accorded the boosters
at Imperial. Here the local band
met the Holyokeites at the edge Of
town and gave them welcome, and n
large number of citizens and farmers
and their families were gathered to
show their appreciation. Imperial
has the proper spirit, and Holyoke
should not soon forget this demonstra'
tion of friendship.
This trip as a whole was won
derful example OF the dependability
of the modern automobile. Covering
about 40 miles. with the time spent
at the numerous stops aud the num-
Der OF cars OF different makes which
engaged in the trip, II was remark
able that n schedule OF this kind
could be maintained and us little
trouble experienced en- route.

not compare with those in Colorado.
