Don't make the error Of using 100
heavy a bat. Because Babe RUIN
swings a heavy stick, don't thlnk
that YOU can. Also don't get the I'M
preston that a heavy bat is essen
tial to a good hitter.
The use Of too heavy a bat Is
fault that handicaps a great many
batters unknowingly. They can't
handle it properly, which results IN
a late swing. The bat swings the
hitter instead OF the batsman swing
ing the bat.
A short or medium bat OF Hght
weight is better than long heavy
bat for the average hitter.
Proper Grip Important.
The next thing is the proper way
to grip the bat. Usually ii is advis-
able 10 handle a bat as II feels best
to you. Most batters hold the hands
as closely together as possible and
grip the bat fairly close TO the end.
Most OF the great hitters stand

The foot nearest the pitcher
should always be closer 70 the plate
than the rear foot.
The successful batter studies the
pitcher as carefully as does the sue
cessful pitcher study the batter.
Have supreme confidence in your
ability. Never for minute forget
that the pitcher fears you. Try 20
reason that he fears you more than
you do him. That gives you the up

Never lose sight Of the ball. Fol-

Don't let the pitcher get on your
nerves. II he tried TO disconcert you
by slow methods. step out OF the box
on him. Be as deliberate as he Is.
Unless nature has given you Babe
Ruth's ability to hit them a mile
forget that a full swing is the best
way 70 hit. A majority OF the good
hitters use the short, snappy swing.
Don't overlook bunting as bat
ting asset. Ability TO mix up style
makes a batsman doubly dangerous.
Step into the ball, never pull away.
Pulling away destroys the power Of
the punch.
Don't Get in the Hole.
Never forget the importance or
the bat. Don't get too heavy a
stick. As you walk TO the plate
swing two or three bats until you
step into the box. That tends to
make the regular bat feel much
lighter after you discard the others.
Don't let the pitcher always have
you in the hole. Try to reverse the
conditions. When you get a pitcher
in the hole, pick on the cripple.
The best hitters in the major

strikes, and three balls and a strike

the pitcher invariably let's up at such
a time. That Is the time to hit.

Years ago Fielder Jones, manag-
ing a very ordinary ball club. the
Chicago White sox. was one Of the
most feared leaders in the American
League.
The club in 19O6 was known as the
"hitless winders." yet Jones won the
American League pennant and a
world series with that aggregation.
To win the world series, Jones had
to beat the Chicago Cubs, conceded
to have been one of the greatest
clubs in the history of the sport. In
1906 the Cub team was at the top of
its game.
Fielder Jones knew baseball. He
had the ability to drive the players
and get results. Yet the greatest
asset he possessed during his man
agerial career at Chicago was Ed
Walsh.
Ed Walsh. then one of the great
est pitchers in the history of the
game, unquestionably made Fielder
Jones a great manager.
