LESSONS IN BASEBALL
Timing the Bat Stroke to the Pitched Ball

Copyright, 1922, by the international Syndicate
Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-02

Contrary to general understanding,
it is not necessary to hit baseball very
hard to get hard or long drive. Indeed
most batted balls are hit with too much
effort on the part of the batter.
Good timing, that is meeting the ball
with a nice, even swing, in good time,
hitting it when it has reached a certain
point which offers the best hitting, is
much more important than hitting it
with tremendous power.
Timing the bat stroke, to catch the
pitched ball Just at the right place in
its flight for hitting is the finest of all
the arts of baseball. A well timed ball
will fly off the bat with great speed
though the batter may use little power

WILLS GETS READY
To CHASE JACK
in LONDON
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, May 2.-Rumors float
around that Harry Wills has booked
passage and will sail for England to
challenge Dempsey all over London.
Jack Britton, welterweight champion,
who has beaten Ted Lewis several
times by knockouts, decisions and ora
tory, will have time figuring out
what he is if the London Kid becomes
the world S light heavyweight cham
pion.
Lewis mixes with Carpenter in Lon
don May H. If he beats the French
man, he will be the world IS cham pion.
Lewis is one of our pe8kiest problems.
He lost the welterweight championship
to Britton only to gain greater fame
by going home to England and win
ming the British welterweight, middle
weight and light heavyweight cham
pionships.
Mike O'Dowd, former middleweight
champion is going along with his stable
mate to feast on some of the soft
morsels that Lewis found in England,
and Mike Gibbons is also bent on the
same mission.
Johnny Kilbane is home from the
other side and wants to get back some
of the coin that they took him for
over there. He told the matchmakers
at the Garden that he was ready to
defend his title if he gets his terms.
The featherweight champion has
always been willing to fight under
those conditions, but no promoter
around here can shake his clothes and
find a couple of hundred thousand on
the floor.
The Leonard Tender thing is sure to
come off this season some place. There
is so much money waiting for the bout
that neither side will let such chance
slip away.

WASHINGTON May 2.-The senator
was chuckling over sharp passage at
arms between two of his colleagues on
the senate floor. They had bristled at
each other and had couched ferocious
retorts in that peculiarly stilted Ian
guage which the senate regards as prop
erly fulfilling the requirements Of po-
liteness on such collection.
"That little spat reminds me-" said
the senator, "of the time Senator KS
wife tried to get him to beat up Sen

He broke off into laugh at the rec
objection.

MOTHER WHO FLED FROM

viii Be Returped to West Chester
Police When Baby Receivers

Mrs. Mary Petrosky. who escaped
several days ago with her young baby
from the contagious ward of a. West
Chester hospital. where the baby had
been confined with measles, was retaken
in Philadelphia today.
Mrs. Petrosky walked out Of the hos
pital while Chester County authorities
were pondcring over the problem cre-
ated for them by the fact that, while
stern law demands she be confined 300
days in Jail for operating a still, hu-
manity demands she be allowed to care
for her child.
Chester County ordinances do not
permit her to remain in Jail with her
baby. so the authorities attempted to
solve the problem by sending her to
the Chester County Home. Then the
baby contracted measles and the mother
was sent with the baby to the hospital.
Because the child is still sick, she
cannot be taken back to West Chester.
She will be placed in the Philadelphia
General Hospital until the baby re-
covers
