Cannon also wants to ask Comiskey
about the profits of the White Sox
club, incorporated in the state of Wis

hlt with one, Two, three, dozen steps
to any field, in any way, when he
gets the ball suitable for his purpose.
That 5 the sort of hitter every
baseball player should be. But shift
ing requires q very good eye, lots of
confidence and practice. The really
great hitters can shift at will. Cobb
probably shifts his batting position
and step more than any other man..
His record speaks for itself. 1t has not
been approached by any other player.
Cobb will stand in all parts of the box,
shift anyway, hit anyway.
/ think that Cobb s success is to
a great extent due to this shifting. His
shifts defeat the earnestly sought OBJ
where the batter cannot hit it to ad-
vantage.
The value of the shift is that it en-
ables you to command the ball, to get
it, despite all effort Of the pitcher to
keep it from you, as nearly where you
want it as possible.
Say that batter likes q bah high
and close to him and dislikes one out

and feeds him balls low and on the
outside corner. The batter knows that
il he hits at that sort of ball he will
fail But il is q strike and must be
taken care Of,

ANOTHER NEW JERSEY sETUP

Writing of the Carpentier-Lewis mate
yesterday in London, Henry L. Farrell,
United Press sporting writer, under
New York date line today says:
Because the Frenchman knocked out
Ted Lewis, q middleweighf who has
been beaten by every first class welter-
weight in the United States, the fires
have been started to steam up see
ond edition of the Jersey City act.
Kearns saws Carpenter looked much
bigger and stronger against Lewis than
he did last July across the Hudson. He
figures Georges would do better next
time.
If there is a place i'll the world that
will pay to see it, Dempsey and Carpen-
tieir are sure to fight again.
Another argument being advanced is
that Carpenter was handicapped in the
Dempsey fight by a small ring and
heavy gloves. The next time they
would be put in ball room with cotton
gloves, and the Frenchman would have
q fine chance to win.
Smoke-ups have very effectual way
of getting results. Every big fight
staged in these new times has to 90
through the process of being worked
up to where fans will pay huge prices
to see it.
If the Frenchman had knocked out
Jack Britton in two minutes no sane
mind would consider that valid reason
for heavyweight championship fight.
Yet Britton has knocked out Lewis and
the venerable welterweight champion
never was accused OF having a deadly
punch.
Benny Leonard, lightweight champion
is willing to fight Lewis and it is at
least an even money bet that Benny
would knock him out.
Leonard was all ready to take a run
to London late this summer and seek q
crack at the jaw of Ted Lewis.
However, Benny has little chance to
get it, If the lightweight champion
knocked Lewis out in u couple of
rounds, or over longer distance it
would make Carpenter look like any
thing but u logical contender for the
heavyweight crown.s
This bandit who, robbed three land
ords knew whore to find the money.

knowing his weakness, stands away OH
the plate. If the pitcher keeps the ball
close to him it is called a ball. SO
Hornsby protects his weakness by
standing away off the plate. He com,
pels the pitcher to do one or two
things: Put the ball where he wants
it or give him u base on balls.
In this fix the pitcher will try to
work the lower outside corner on
Hornsby. Hornsby will shift his
one step into the plate reach over and
whale the ball out of the park. His
extra long. step in to The plate puts the
ball just where he wants it put.
The advantage of the shift of hit
ting step is that the pitcher never
can pitch to the batter's weakness,
because by his shift the batter is liza
bic to make a ball pitched to his weak
spot eome into his strong spot.
The batter who uses the standard
hitting step, keeps his rear foot tied
to the ground aud takes one step to
hit, is at this disadvantage: The
pitcher can accurately measure his bat
stroke, pitch to his weakness, keep the
ball away from him.
Young players who can shift will
do well to do so. But every boy must
decide his batting step for himself
There are three steps which he must
not use, the step away from the line
of the pitch on high step or a cooked
step, that. rs withdrawing the forward

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
pyright, 1922, by the International Sypdicat

Shall a batter take
but one step to hit or
shall he shift his feet so
that he can get the ball
just where he likes it9n
is a question that has
been discussed by base
ball experts Tor 80
years.
The answer to that
seems to be this: The
batter must decide his
own style. His eye, his
temperament, HIS swing
will indicate to him
just how he should step,
take one step and hit
at the ball where the
pitcher gives it to him,
or by shifting, taking
two or more steps, try
to command the ball, to
bring it within good hit
ting distance, where
he likes It, regardless
of the intent of. the
pitcher.
Personally, l favor the
shirt, several steps, but
| know that many bat
ters who do good work
when hitting with one
step, would fail utterly
if they tried to take.
two or more steps as
they hit.
OF course, the really
good hitter will do all
things that eau be done
in batting, stand i'll any

BIG LAUGHS COMING.

IN cleaning house this spring, may
be you ran across the old family
album. If so, you had laugh at the
peculiar clothing styles and solemn
expressions on the faces of former
generations.
Did it ever occur to you, that our
photographs are also going to get
'the merry-ha-ha" when future gen
serations discover them in some OBJ
scure nook Of the air-ship houses that
will be in use rs or 100 years from
now?
The marvels of today will be old
fashioned later on. 1t is hard for us
to believe this. That has always
been the way. Vanity being eternal,
each generation-while laughing at
the past-is cock-sure that the pres
ent is "the real thing"
Have you read Mark Twain's sa-
tire, "a Connecticut Yankee at King
Arthur's Court?" It's film version
makes movie audiences roar at the
ludlcrous eject of a modern Amer
lean, transported back into time 14OO
years, unhorsing armored knights
with lasso and knocking them down
like nine-pins, with a flvver.
The stately dignity of the ancients
IS farclcal, from the 1922 viewpoint.
At lumber mills, teams used to
haul boards to boxcards, where they
were leisurely transferred by roust-
abouts.
AT modern mill, the lumber is
carried out to the box cars on long
conveyor belt, sort of endless NOV
ing platform. The lumber comes in
a steady stream. An efficiency ex-
pert has calculated how fast the load.
er at the car should work, and the
belt is geared accordingly. The
loader works at a set speed or gets
buried under oncoming boards.
We regard this arrangement sol
EMMY. But, having all the elements
of humor, it will make future gen
erations haw-haw.
In the future, automatic machinery
and Inventions will free men from
industrial slavery. Cheap, fast-fly-
ing airplanes will enable all to live
in the country. Cities, at night, will
be deserted groups of factory build
ings.
We, voluntarily imprisoned in
cramped apartments or small houses,
will seem queer to our descendants
Daily We go to work in our prison
cells, to pound typewriter keys, push
a pen or perform monotonous opera.

1.-THE. TRoGLoDYTE PARTY"

THE reactionary Republicans hav-
ing failed to avail themselves of
the suggestion to change the name
of their faction of the Republican
party to the Newberry Party" Sen
ator King, Democrat of Utah, sug-
gests still more comprehensive IT,
tie. In discussing the pending tariff
bill, he said:
81 propose that the name of the
Republican party be changed. AS
senators know, at one time the Demo
Gratis were known as the Democratic
Republican party. The Democrats
later dropped the name Republican,
and years afterwards it was appro-
priated by those men who met in
Michigan and gathered together the
remnants of the Wing and other po-
litical organizations. The Republi-
cans under their present leadership
are not entitled to the name. They
were appropriately dubbed 'standpat-
ters' and 'reactionaries' in the days
of Aldrich and Speaker Reed. The
archaic policies then announced have
become the present policy of the Re-
publican party. They are the party
of reaction. They are seeking isola-
ton, political and industrial, and, of
course, with industrial isolation
comes decadence.
"Strabo, Herodotus, Pliny, and
other classical historians speak of
the trogldytes - cavemen, person
who seek exclusion, isolation, and
separation from others. This bill de-
clares for troglodytian policy. We
are to become a nation of troglody-
ties.

priety name the party of Harding
