The SEASONS FIRST FISH STORY
bY PHILIP MARTIN

MYTH the parade of apple
w knockers from dugout to
plate we'll under way. several
large questions pop into the
minds of the turnstile-turners.
Baseball intelligentsia the length
and breadth of the land begins TO
perk up and ask about things.
One of the favorite issues be-
fore the assembly this season
seems to rest upon the various
batting abilities of two fellows
who. if not young. certainly
haven't taken to the rockers just
yet. The two ash-swingers under
debate are Babe Ruth and Mr..
McGraw's new second baseman,
Rogers Hornsby.
Who'll break up the most ball
games? Who'll get the most home
runs? Who'll win in the race for
batting honors?
Echo and the scribes will an
swer after the acrobatie arithme-
tic of October. Meanwhile
For the six years, 1920-26,
Hornsby led the National League
In batting with a grand average
of .397-the best six-year average
ever put down. And that's figur-
Ing the bad year-1926-when
jllness dulled his glamour.
Ruth has a twelve-year batting
average of $40. He has 356
homers to his credit in those
years. and pitchers have slipped
him the Annie Oakleys 1880
times. A formidable average
considering the homers and the
walks. He hopes to make it 400
circuit rides this season.
AS the dry agent said of Haig

A BITTER old man, pointed out
by the w~iseacres as a last
year man." is doing his turn with
children this season. You
may have heard of him before
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, from some
where in Georgia.

and buried Cobb these years
agone, but the ensuing seasons
have proved they wove their

able wool. For the Georgia AL

sore spot. on the inside of the
third finger of the right hand and
one on top of the middle snuckle
of the first finger of the left hand.
Such sore spots are sure indications
that the right hand grips too hard.
If the sore spot on the first finger
OF the left hand is next the second
finger, and especially if there is a
sore spot on the inside of that fin
ger next the thumb, there is no
question of the grip being at fault.
Not only does the right hand grip
too closely, but the right little finger
rides between the first and second
fingers Of the left hand. That must

be changed at once. The place for
the right little finger is exactly ove
the first finger of the left hand
and it must never press SO hard
even as TO make a callous, let alone
q sore spot.
The remedy is not hard. Prob
ably You have been using too loose
a grip with the left hand. Practice
swinging a club with the left hand
until you know YOU control it per-
fectIy with that hand alone. Then
try it by letting the right hand
ride in its regular position but
with no pressure. Probably that is
enough pressure at any time.
About the only function of the
right hand and arm is TO keep out
Of the way until after the club has
begun to descend on the ball. Then
the right shoulder gets to work and
forces the forefnger Of the right
hand against the shaft when the
wrists begin their whip.
