CRACK BATTERS
NOT So BY
LUCK
Hornsby and Wheat Examples
of Players Who Hit
Consistently

Seeing Hornsby and Wheat top.
ping the heap and shining as slug.
gers supreme only goes to prove
the statements that there isn't much
luck connected with hitting.
Both Hornsby and Wheat have
been up there before. In fact they
are accustomed to being UP there.
Year after year these fine hitters
are to be found among the leaders.
II luck cut any particular figure
they would be up and down, for no
one athlete is lucky all the time,
any more than other mortals are
lucky all the time.
They are leading their league
because they are the best hitters
in their league, because they have
the necessary hits in a given mum.
Der Of times at bat. It's nothing
more or less than the working out
OF cause ana effect.
Some Of this batting skill must
be acquired, OF course, but we sus.
pect that most Of 1t is born in the
individual. To that extent the in.
dividual may be said to be lucky,
but that Is no reason for calling his
hits lucky hits or flukes.
Though this pair Of hitters loom
at the top it is well to remember
that there are many valuable slug.
gers in both leagues who, while
they may not roll up such high
percentages, have the faculty OF
producing hits when hits nieans
