LESSONS IN BASEBALL

Copyright, 1922, by the International Syndicate

| ing the Cut both hands and both arms
DO an equal share of work.
Thus it will be seen how important
it is that the forward arm shall reach
as far back for the bat-stroke as posi-
bic. 1t does three fourths of the work
!! in making the bat-stroke.
The arm cannot go back far enough
unless the shoulder is well into the line
of the pitch. The shoulder must 90
back and come forward with the arm.
This is why stepping in to hit is
of paramount importance. If you step
away you can't get the forward arm
to reach back far enough to get full
swing. Then the fear shoulder will not
90 back either and will actually be in
the way of your backward movement.
The best you can do is to push al the
ball.
While the bat-stroke should always
be easy and well timed, not violent and
badly timed, it should be full, from ear
to ear. theoretically, Ruth, who
swings from one ear to the other, has
the ideal bat-stroke. But many good
hitters do not take the bat above the
line of the shoulder as they 90 back
lot thclr swings. oHe advantage IS
gained by Keeping the blade of the
hat horizontal and below the line of the
shoulder at the start of the swing. The
entire bat-stroke is then directly into
the line of the oncoming ball. There
is no chance for downward "chopo
upon the sphere. The bat stroke is al-
ways level. But the arc of the swing is
not so long as it is when the batter
takes the bat to his ear to hit as Ruth
does. So, some power is lost to the
batter who starts his bat-stroke below
the level of the shoulder
1t will be well for the young PLAYER

SURE OF VICTORY
Bv HENRY +. FARRELL,

BOSTON, Mass. May 26.-Princeton
the fighting Tiger of Nassau, has beer
nominated to carry the coIors of the
East against invaders from the Pacific
Coast in the intercollegiate track and
fleld championships starting at Harvard
stadium this afternoon.
OF all the eastern teams gathered fol
the annual classic, the Tigers alone
were considered to have chance to
keep the far coast from walking away
with another championship
University of California, champions
of 1921, and Stanford with two of the
strongest teams that have invaded the
East in years, figured there is nothing
to it but a coast victory.
The track the fastest i'll the United
States, was reported to be in perfect
condition after light rainfall yester-
day, which served to patch the surface.
The program today consists only Of
trial heats to qualify the men that will
start tomorrow for the titles.

"Babe" Hartranft, the young giant

1t will be well for the young player
to clearly understand that the bat
should be pulled through by the hand
and arm nearest the pitcher rather than
pushed or forced through by the hand
and arm farther from the pitcher or
by an equal effort of both arms.
The reason of this is plain. A man
can pull more than he can push. The
arm that pulls will exert greater pow
er than the arm that pushes. While hit
ting baseball the rear arm has moth
ing behind it to help it push The
weight of the body is in front of it..
When you start to push with the rear
arm you take away some Of the body
weight that should be going forward
INTO the bat-stroke. You pull it back
ward instead of forward to the ball.
When you go back slowly for the bat
swing, get your shoulder well in so that
your forward arm can go as far back
as possible for the bat stroke. The
weight of the body goes forward when
your step to hit and pulls the extended
arm with it.
In this way you not only get the
power of the arm into the bat stroke
but you get the full weight of the en-
tire body and of it's forward motion
into the swing too.
SO the hand that is nearest the end
of the bat should do most of the work
i'll the Pull and in the Drive. In max

CHICAGO, May 26.-Six hundred
high school athletic stars were on hand
today for preliminaries of the annual
rational interscholastic meet at Stagg

Note that Sisler right arm is fully
extended when he reaches the limit
of his backward motion for the bat
stroke. This gives the arm and body
full power to pull the bat through as
Sisler steps and throws his body for
ward to hit the ball. Like most good
hltters Sisler lets his forward arm and
shoulder do two-thirds of the work
Moral: Pull the bat through with the
forward arm and shoulder instead OF
pushing it through with the rear arm
and shoulder

KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE

Although they have. been conduct
ing a diligent inquiry county and city
police officers have not yet been able
to identify the automobile driver VINO
ran over and killed Fred Hutchison,
well known citizen Of the India Hook
section in Rock Hill, Saturday night
about $50. The killing OF Mr.. Hutch-
ison is described as one OF the most
brutal and ruthless crimes that nave
occurred in that city in long time.
According to the meager testimony
presented at the coroncr'S inquest
held in Rock Hill Sunday morning.
Mr.. Hutchinson was proceeding to his
home frcm Rock Hill in his buggy
when some unknown person driving n
Ford roadster crashed into him. The
buggy was slightly damaged and Mr..
Hutchinson was thrown to the ground.
His skull was crushed ana nc was
otherwise mangled. ,
The driver of the car then turned
his machine around and rushed back
toward the city Of Rock Hill, paying
no heed to the dying man. When
persons who head the crash reached
Mr.. HutChison he was breathing MS
last. Two negroes who were some
distance away saw the collision but
were not close enough to be able to
describe the man who was driving the
automobile and which escaped with 4
broken light.
Mr.. Hutchison was about G5 years
of age and was unmarried. His body
was buried in the cemetery at Ebcn-
czer Sunday afternoon.
The accident occurred near VIM
throp College on Oakland Avenue.
The dead man was on the right side
of the road while the unknown driver
Of the automobile which caused his
death was also on the right side be-
hind him. The verdict Of the coroncr's
jury was that the deceased came 10
his death as the result of being struck
by an automobile driven by an un-
known party.

The Genoa Conference.

Naturally the people of the world
want to know the meaning of the Ge-
noa conference, and The Yorkville En-
,quirer would be glad to throw some
light on the subject; but after study
ing the question from many angles it
does not know anything better than to
say that it is simply lost.
1t seems to be pretty generally un-
derstood that Europe is bankrupt; that
all the nations are demoralized; that
France having come so nearly to de-
struction, is in a panic; that with her
trade destroyed, and her factories idle
Great Britain is cropping her way out;
that Russia with her new experiment
in economic existence and all her ac-
tivities penalized feels hopeless; that
disrupted Germany hindered with rep
aration obligations that no country in
the world could pay, is desperate; that
the various other smaller countries de-
pendent upon the example of the larg-
er countries, are unable to work out
solution within themselves.
There can be no reasonable doubt Of
the fact that the solution of the whole
situation is money. That is the key to
the door of all difficulties. But none
Of the countries have monCy-anything
like enough money and there is the
rub.
Lloyd George of England is general
ly acknowledged to have been the
prime mover in the Genoa conference.
That he is interested first in restoring
the prosperity of Great Britain is a
natural assumption. That Russia, with
more than half the population Of Eu
rope, and undeveloped resources equal
to any other single nation in the world,
is necessary to the reconstructed ma
chine, has all along been obvious. The
main purpose of the conference, there
fore, was to bring back Russia from
her to the place that is necessary for
the we'll being Of all. That is the great
task.
From what has developed so far it
has been made clear that the leaders
of Russia realize the importance of
their country TO Europe and also they
realize the dependence Of their coun-
"a. = - -, y = Z.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-04-25

try on the others. But at the same
time they are unwilling to recede from
the new social experiments to which
they stand committed, and nobody
seems to be able to find a basis or
compromise by which the social and
economic status Of Russia can be ac-
commodated to the established order
Of things in the other countries.
Russia has been seeking to abolish
capitalism; but she finds that capital
is necessary to establish even her anti
capitalism, and because of her antag-
onism to capital she has as yet been
unable to find a way to bring 1t into
lsubjection to her purposes.
k In order to get capital Russia has
hagreed to withdraw her claims against
kthe Allies because of their efforts to
overthrow the Bolshevist government,
4 she has agreed to pay her war debts,
she has agreed to pay the debts con-
tracted by the previous government,
land she has agreed to restore property
taken from other nations. All this. is
in line with what was desired; but
still she is impotent without money,
and as yet nobody seems to know
where the money is to come from.
England and France were especially
outraged because of the announcement
that Germany had anticipated the con-
ference in making a treaty with Rus
sia. England was outraged because
Germany had accomplished single
handed what England had hoped to
accomplish through the conference
and France is outraged because she
sees in the arrangement the probable
ity that some 6sy soon Germany may
come back at her in the lead of mil
lions of Russian soldiers.
But it is commonly recognized that
the treaty is not of any immediate con-
sequence to anybody, because neither
Germany nor Russia has any money
1t is pretty generally understood that
Great Britain is very much concerned
about the attitude of France toward
Germany, her persistence in maintain
ing the most powerful army in Europe,
and also France is jealous Of Great
Britain, the more especially because
the interests of Great Britain seem to
require the stronger Germany Of which
France is afraid.
There is lots of politics in that &C.
noa conference and very little har-
mony. AS to whether it will bring
peace looks pretty doubtful. 1t is pos
sible, however, that out of it may come
conviction that there is no other
way for it than to fight it out further,
and there is much respectable opinion
to the effect that before the summer
is over there will be more fighting.

vERplcT AGAINST LAWYER

An order of judgment by default
was signed by Judge I. w. Bowman
yesterday afternoon in the case Of j.
p. Starnes against J. Harry Foster, a
lawyer of Rock Hill. The defendant
was not in court when the case was
called yesterday afternoon. The plain
tiff through his attorney, w. w. Lewis,
ESQ.,, of Yorkville alleged that some
four years ago he was injured at the
Lancaster Cotton Mills in Lancaster
and employed Mr.. Foster to bring suit
against the mills.
Later it is alleged that the attorney
compromised the case with the mills;
but no money was paid over to the
plaintiff Starnes. Later Mr.. Lewis
was employed by Starnes to collect
the amount alleged to have been op-
tanned by Foster through compromise
with the mill company.
Foster is said to have sent the attor-
ney a check for $185 few days age
in part payment of the amount alleged
TO be due Starnes, and this leaves q
balance of S65 due. The plaintiff
agrees to give Foster the interest on
tie money for period OF about 1our
years as legal fees.
Starnes was present in court yester
day afternoon when the case was call
ed He is a young white man who mas
only a portion Of finger on each mana
as a result of the accident, which was
the basis of his original suit against
the Lancaster mill.
