MOST PITCHERS ARE NOT GOOD LETTERS
Joe Bush However, Exception to
 General Rule

Why are so few pitchers good bats men? Glance over the swat averages of any league and you will find that a great majority of the last 40 play CTS in the ranking are pitchers. It would seem that a pitcher who is fla miliar with the manner in which the various deceptive deliveries are thrown would have an edge when he came to the bat. However, the knowledge that all pitchers possess of how the ball breaks Is of, no ad- vantage, rather t seems to work as Q handicap.

 Occasionally you will find some star
 pitcher who is equally effective at the bat Joe sBush Of the New York Americans is such a type pitcher. 1 Joe Is a double-thrcat player--as they say in football.
 Throughout the American league season rival pitchers work as care- fully on Bush as they do Babe Ruth. Joe takes healthy swing like the Babe. and while he strikes out often he breaks up many n ball game through his ability Co hit. In the recent world series wieh the Giants no player on the Yankee team took more liberties with McGraw's pitch CTS than Bush. IL was Bush who Manager Huggins selected to step to the plate in the pinch ia the memor- able sixth game that decided the ser- les. The bases were filled at the time. Bush received d base on balls. Some compliment to Hush from every angle.
 "Its the mental attitude Of the pitcher that makes most Of them poor hitters." That Is the explanation offered by Joe Bush, who can hit as, well as pitch.
 Most pitchers aro Of the opinion that no one expects them to hit the ball." says Bush. Because of that feeling they do not enter into bat ting practice with the same zest as hte rest of Inc players. With the pitcher it is a mere formality. al custom Of baseball When the pitcher steps 10 inc paie iu reg ular game he never feels that t is up to him to come through with a base hit. Rather hc figures thai everyone expects him to strike out or pop up and if he does otherwise they will be greatly surprised. ln- steal of wanting 10 surprise them. he average pitcher Is content 10 take three careless swings and retire to the bench 1T all batters went 10 the plate feeling the same way about hitting as do pitchers no, many hits would be made during the course O. a ball gafne."

 There is no question bui that Bush is correct iH his theory. Nine out or every tou pitunrr consider bat ting iH=r- lorsnIlity.
