Merkle on baseball Of today com

seem to think about Is getting big

eflt day baseball It II very lively.
We had a lively ball up in the In
ternational League, but the ball in
use in the majors ii even more 30.
But don't think the game Itself
is being impaired by the lively ball.
The play Ii merely taken away from
the pitchers and given to the hat
tera. The big sluggers are the boys
who now get the advertisement. II
doesn't matter. The fans like heavy
hitting and flock through the turn
stile. That means more money for
the magnatas, and in turn it means
better conditions for the players and
better pay than they used to get.
THE institution OF baseball has
improved tremendously in the twenty
years since first broke in. The
teams stop at better hotels, enjoy
bigger meal money allowances, have
the privileges of better clubhouses
and perform on better diamonds than
they did before.

THE MAsHTE AND THE BALL.

with your stroke. It ID an ex-
cellent idea in this shot to take
4 little turf after the ball is hit
for the minute the blade goes
into the ground 1t aids the
breaking Of the wrists back so
that the clubhead goes through
the ball faster.
A very important thing to re-
member il that only half OF
your work is done when the club
head meets the ball properly
don't quit there.
Should your swing be q poor
one to the point Of almost meet
ing the bail, think Of swapping
the shot off quickly, and 1t may
make up for much Of Che poor
swing. The clubhead will not
send the ball very far If you
hit only with your hands.
