Smith this spring produced seven

Smith this spring produced seven pokes in ten attempts at moments of critical importance for a hitting average of TOO. But the burden of the pinch hitter is in most cases too great to be supported. He often feels resentful at being called on, des- pised utility man, to haul out of their own trouble the players who get all the publicity and preferment. Also. he bats so seldom that he is out of practice Pinch hitting Is a hard and thankless job in any trade.

THE PASS TENSE

Quite often Babe Ruth goes abat- ting in tense circumstances with the score nearly even and the ball game jouncing eagerly on the bases, ready to be knocked home. Under those conditions managers give him no chance to hit. They have him walked on four consecutive wide ones and take their risk on the succeeding hitters. And that, whether you like 1t or not, is baseball.
