How to play baseball.
There you have a real problem.

Every player has certain character
istics peculiar to himself.

the sport better than any one else.
In that respect 1t is well to be orig
inal.
During II years connection with
the majors I have seen a NUMBER OF
the really great ball players. 1t is
a pleasure to watch the truly great
players perform.

carefully study the styles or n

niche in their respective positions.
All star players have certain
things in common, because unoer
certain conditions proper basepaii
REQUIRES that plays be made just SO.
However, all stars have their own
lucas dpOuI ~

In considering the various phases

sition and discussed the proper play
ing of that position as CLEANED from
a of observation and interviews
with the games greatest stars. IL
is a composite opinion.

points together, SO that the ambi-

have the benefit Of the big leaguer's
experience and thought.
Then to further make clear
possibilities of the game. l nave a
a number of the leading stars tell
how they believe it is best to play
the position at which they have won
fame.
Monday the big thrill of baseball,
hitting, is considered. Babe Ruth
