Then another short step with the r,ght

step. with the left foot and the blow OF
the bat on the ball.
The important point to be remem-
bered is that with all his pecullarltless
Groh, in the end, hits from the standard
batting position. All that his first
three steps mean, is that they put nm
into final position to hit. When ne
hits. his left foot and shoulder, are IKE
the left feet and shoulders of all good
hitters well into the line OF the pltch
In the end Groh IS shift OF steps con
forms to the standard. But his bat
swing never does conform to the
standard He never swings, but merely
chops at the ball. He never uses a
level bat, he does not follow through
much.
Next Lesson-How Groh Steps to Hit.

Tennis and hot weather appear
to make good combination. This
morning the writer arose bright
and early and flivvered over the
hamlet to check up on the courts.
To his surprise everyone was occu-
pied with players, tall, short, lean
and fat, while the sun cast It's
kindly rays upon them.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-16

OF all the famous batters who have
taken MANY steps to hit, Henry Groh,
third baseman of the New York world S
champions, has the most remarkable
position at the bat and the most re-
markable shift or series OF SHIFTS.
Groh s peculiar batting position and
shifts are contrary to all established
rules and standards of batting style but
he makes them very effective for ms
purposes.
Instead of standing in the standard
position, forward foot and shoulder well
into the plate and half of back towards
the pitcher, Groh takes up position
with both feet, side by side on the
rear line of the batter's box, full fac
inc the pitcher. Then instead of holding
his bat on his shoulder or at his belt,
he holds it high above his right
shoulder, almost above his head. He
uses a sort of bottle shaped bat, very
heavy in the blade and holds it far up
the helve.
1t is an amazing position, one which
excites laughter whom first seen. The
laughter is quickly changed to aston
ishment when Groh hits the ball hard
from that absurd position and with
that absurd bat.
Groh violates every accepted stand
ard for good hitting yet is very
good hitter. How does he do it!
Instead of taking the standard step,
one with the left foot, to hit, Groh
takes as rule four steps to hit, some
times more. His first step is not with

 "Sit down, Ben" said the general manager. Were going to hold council of war"
 Llttleford took chair and crossed his legs.
 "Is it the Ball outfit?" he drawled.
 "Yes," answered the younger man, and forthwith he told the other of the news that By Heck had brought him a few days before; he had not given the matter really serious considera- ton until that morning. Now" he finished, "I want to know whether you think there's any danger?"

 Its q good plan, reckon" growled Ben Littleford, "only I don't cotton very easy to the idee O us a-runnin' from the mine to this here buidin'. l never did like to run from any man wo'th durn, Bill"
 But that wouldn't be cowardly," Dale protested. Tt would be purely n strategic move, and It would save lives for us. For. when the Balls and their kinsmen come, you'll have to de- liver me into their hands or you'll have to fight like the very devil, that's sure; and, according to By Hecks fig ures, they outnumber you more than two to one"
 All right" Littleford replied. with a shrug of his huge shoulders. What ever you say, that same we'll do"
 So By Heck was sent for, and short ly afterward he sneaked into the iau- rels and went off toward the settle ment of the Balls. In the crook of his arm he carried his rifle, and inside his shirt he carried three pieces of dyna- mite all ready for the match-and he chose every step with great care for fear of jarring the explosive too much.
 He had not been gone an hour when Bill Dale heard dull, smothered roar from somewhere to the northward. Dale sprang up from his desk. ran to his ready and waiting horse. mounted and rode like streak toward the lowland.
 Dale arrived at John Moreland's big white farmhouse a little before the middle of the day. and halloed lustily at the gate. John Moreland and his two sons hurried out in response to the call. Dale waved aside all greet ings and inquiries after his health. and told that which he had come to tell. The elder Moreland turned quick. ly to his two stalwart sons
 Guns and hosses, boys! It'll be our last fight, and les be at 1t and make 1t a good fight"
 Less than five minutes later the three erstwhile mountaineers rode out at the barnyard gate with full belts of cartridges around their waists and with repeating rifles across the pom mels of their saddles, and joined Dale. The four hastened to the homes of the other Morelands and not loag afterward the old clan. in full strength rode toward the big, dim blue hills with Bill Dale acting as its leader. It was to be the clans last fight, and a fight for good cause, and every man of 1t was eager for the fray.
 Bill Dale bore himself proudly, and he rode like man born to the sad dle He found queer joy--a joy thar frightened his steel-grey eyes and flushed his sunburned cheeks, a joy that he didn't even attempt to understand-in the thought:
 For this one day I am a clan chief I am leading my own people against foe In my own country"

They think 1t was you killed Adam, and they don't think the Jaw handed 'em square deal at the trial"
 "Then listen to this plan," said Dale.
 "I'll keep By Heck up the river watching for them. He will have three sticks of dynamite tied together and capped and fitted with fuse. If he sees them coming this way in any thing like force, he will fire off the dynamite as signal to us. Our men will gather here in the upstairs of this building, and bar the doors-"
 "Oh. Bill," moaned the old fighter, you shorely don't think we'd ever let 'em git to the doors!"
 II hope they don't, certainly" smiled Dale "Where are your rifles, Bill?"
 "At the mine," said Littleford. "Ye see, Bill, we've been a-lookin' fo' trouble"
 Dale went on: "At By Heck's sig nal, I'll get on my horse and ride to the lowlands for the Morelands. I can
