Lindstrom. in giving his opinion
about Hornsby. VAS asked what the
ball players think is the secret OF
Hornsby's great hitting.
Perfect timing and the knack OF
hitting the ball out in front of him,
he said by that | mean he hits
the ball before il gets to him. He
has the finest coordination and the
faculty Of picking out good balls TO
hit. He stands far away from the
plate, but still he is the only batter
We know of who can wait until the
ball is right up to him and hit II TO
right field without hitting it to foul
ground. Hogan. the Giants catcher.
also hits the ball in front Of him.
And with it all Hornsby has the
perfect temperament. He never gets
ratified. When an umpire misses one
he growls. but disinisses his grouch
at once and settles down to business.
He's smart batter. ! don't believe
he tries to outguess the pitcher be
cause they all know that he will not
cut at bad ball and that his eye is
so perfect that he can almost umpire
his own balls and strikes"
And Hornsby is not only great
hitter. He is great fielder. He
doesn't make his chances look hard,
as Frisch does. AMI he's about the
stcadiest infielder in baseball. And
Bucky Harris is one Of the several
smart baseball men who regard him
as one OF the greatest natural Lead
ers in the history of the game.

Rogers Hornsby is heading toward
another batting championship in the
National league and he probably will
lead the league with a mark Of bet
ter than $50.
This is not news, perhaps, if it is
an item of news only when a man
bites a dog. but it seems, at least,
to be u fitting subject 4or a story.
And the subject, in the language
of the day. might be-"What a
MAN."
Little Freddy Lindstrom, the very
good third baseman of the New
York Giants. was being congratu-
lated recently on a batting average
of $50.
He refused to take bow
I'm lucky this year" he said.
Anyone, with the exception of
Hornsby, who hits $50 is having a
lot of luck. Hornsby isn't lucky.
He's in a class by himself. The
greatest right handed hitter of all
times"
Hornsby is personality about
which there are no mediums. You
either think well of him or have a
violent dislike for him. He has an
air of cold blooded independence
about him that gives no ground,
Nor asks any.
But, above all, it will have to be
handed to him that he can hit the
ball. He has been hitting consistent
ly and regularly since 1916, when he
Joined the 800 class. and he never
has been out of it. His career aver
age for his 10 years in the major
leagues to $50. And that simply
can't be luck.
Not including the current season
Hornsby has been the champion bat
ter of the National league six times
Ty Cobb was the champion batter ir

giving Cobb due credit, Hornsby go

in the last half of the fourth. klat-

bled, klatka racing to third. Noonan
walked, filling the bags. McCleary,
the Falcons new shortstop, singled
into left scoring klatka and McKer-
nan. Rose followed with another
bingle and Noonan and McCleary
crossed the pan. Atwood crashed
out the fourth hit of the inning but
Patrus ended the rally with 4
grounder to third base.
The Rangers came back with a
bang in the fifth inning. Preisser
singled. Hayes and Wolfe were VIC
Tins of strikeouts but McKnerney
sent out safe blow. After catching
Wendrowski twice with a high fast
ball Atwood tried to sill third one
by and the Stanley Works star
promptly knocked it out of the lot
for double scoring Presser and
Mac. Wendrowski crossed the pan
with the third run of the inning on
J. Argosy's hit. Kelley opened the
Falcons half of the inning with a
hit but Preisser made a one hand
catch of McKernan's drive and con-
verified it into a double play.
Schauffer opened the sixth with 4
double but Atwood rose to the occa-
sion and famed krause, Preisser
and Bloom in succession. Wolfe
connected safely to start the seventh
and last inning. Mac famed. Wen-
drowski singled but J. Argosy fam
ned. A hit would have tied the
score but Milo Argosy was an easy
out, Patrus to klatka. At this point
the rain was coming down in tor
rents and the umpires called the
game after waiting for short
while.
"Yiggs" Patrus played a strong
game at second and made four pref
ty assists. McKnerney and Schaefer
were the strong points OF the Rang
ers' defense, both men making classy
plays. Kelley led the Falcon bat
ters with two hits while Wendrow-
ski and ]. Argosy both connected
safely twice off the slants Of Atwood.
The next battle between the two
teams should prove to be banner
attraction because of the great game
staged between the two teams yes
terday. The Falcons might have ap-
peared little better than the Rang
ers in the early innings but the later
innings showed that the Church
street team was an aggregation to
be feared.
