Sluggers, Not Hurlers,
Big Need of Baseball

Baseball, Americas greatest out
door sport, is today most dependent
upon and derives greatest inspiration
from the boys behind "Old Hickory, y
the bat, according to Connie Mack,
famous manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics, in an article in the Boys
Life.
This, according to Mack who has
seen nearly 40 years of baseball, repre-
sents change from the days Of base
balls infancy when pitchers were the
biggest drawing card of the game. The
batting rally, by which Mack means a
succession of heavy smuggling, bases
continually full, and the yelling spec
tators tense on their toes, has become,
he says, baseball's greatest thrill. AS
a result, the tendency of the sport has
been to develop a remarkable group of
hitters headed by that king of the
home run, the renowned Babe" Ruth.
Says Connie: "a team of this day
must have batters and lot of them.
Every man must be genius with the
hickory. 1t isn't enough that man
is a good fielder any more TO fit into
the modern baseball picture. | don't
care how good a teams pitching staff
is, and how fast their fielding COM
bination may be, if they haven't got
batting ability their chances of win
ming a penant are mighty SLIM

| The firemen and high school Ponies, playing their second game of the seasons series, slipped and glided around the polished gym floor, still coated with wax after the New Years ball, until the Ponies skidded the smoke eaters" into a 29-22 defeat.
 In an effort to off set the slick floor the players put preparations on the soles of their shoes, but the dope wasn't lasting enough to pre- vent them from over running the foul lines and side lines, besides slowing up their paces.
 In the second half of the game, the firemen looked like a pretty lsnappy outfit; particularly so in the third quarter when the boys pene- trated the Ponie7' defense for 10 points. A similar spurt in the final quarter would have pulled the game out of the fire for them. Their passing was fast but a little unac- curate, and the receiving faulty The school lads, confident of yic- tory thruout, had their strongest lineup on the floor from start to finish, and turned ina better game than their more recent encounters have been.
