Billy Evans Says

On no one feature of play is the
baseball player as touchy as on mis-
batting The old base hit has must
cal ring to the athlete that causes
him to throw out his chest with
pride. Even the pitcher likes to hit
'em safe Every fan can recall the
smile that comes over the counter
ance Of Il weak hitting pitcher when
he connects for single or extra
: base wallop.
The batsman is mighty jealous OF
his ability. When he fails he sell
dem gives the pitcher much credit,
rather he has an alib that removes
the odium of his failure without slip
ping the pitcher any praise.
In late years, with the pitchers re-
sorting to trickery, it has been un-
usual for some crack batter to
strike out without requesting the
umpire to look at the ball. If the
pitcher has a reputation for cheating
it is not uncommon for the batsman
to offer objections to the ball any
time he swings and misses. Very
often defective ball is responsible
for the sharp break it takes, but
more often the imagination of tho
batter creates the situation.
l have seen batters strike out on q
fast ball that didn't break an inch
only to have them insist the bal
jumped a foot. The average bate,
doesn't like to strike out, particular
~ in a pinch.
Unquestionably more alibis are Of
fered at the old home plate thar
anyq other base. Let good hitter
pop up or grouna weakly to the in
field and, while he raves at his fail
ure to hit, he accepts the situation
as break of the game. However, le
