puts emphasis on hitting the ball
a great distance and figures that
is the only thing to do.
Naturally I cannot argue that
long distance hitting is lad. I
am very much in favor Of it..
But the long distance hitting will
take care of itself if the boy will
first learn to hit properly with
a bat which he can swing. We
have in the big leagues certain
players who are called Single
hitters," and the fellow who can
hit singles consistently never has
to worry about doubles, triples
and home runs. AS a matter OF
fact three or four singles are
often much better than one or
two home runs though they rank
below in total bases. For boys,
I would say that it Is better to
forget long distance hitting until
they have learned the shorter
game. Then as they grow bigger
and stronger and improve in tim
ing the ball. the long hits will
be forthcoming.

Some boys are big and strong
and can use n fairly heavy bat,
but the average boy is not strong
enough to swing the sort of bat
which big league ball players use.
Yet they are always trying. I

Heavy Bat

Furthermore, don't get the idea
that one must have a heavy bat
in order to hit the bali far.
Distance is as much the result Of
timing and sometimes the timing
means a lot more than weight Of
the bat. I have seen big league
ball players swing themselves
into knots with heavy rats and
not get any great distance on
their drive. and then try a lighter
bat and get plenty Of distance.
The answer rests in meeting the
ball at the proper time with
plenty Of power supplied by the

Select a Light Bat

So I say to the boys, forget the
heavy bat. Select one that feels
light enough for a natural swing,
and one that you can handle with
out unusual eXertion. I cannot
suggest any particular weight for
a boy because this does not de-
pend on either age or size.
Muscular development and nat
ural strength make it easier some
times for one boy to swing q bat
which will be too heavy for
another boy who is older and
perhaps larger.
All boys know which way to
swing into a ball SO the bat will
not crack. so l need not give any
advice on this point.
1 might say. too. that some
bats are entirely too light, but
there is not much danger of boys
going wrong on this score. They
usually pass up the very light
ones and go for the heavy models.
Naturally a bat must be strong
enough to withstand a hard swing
against a speeding baseball. and
this means wood solid enough to
carry a little weight, anyway.
Once you select a bat which
feels good when you swing it,
learn to swing it in the most
natural way. Don't feel that you
have to grip it with both hands
at the extreme end of the handle.
That is all right at times, and
some hitters do better that way.
But don't forget that some Of our
best hitters grip the bat three or
more inches from the end.

Proper selection OF pats is very
important if a boy is to be sue
ceSSful as ball player. And from
what I have seen of boys teams
it is something that gets little at
tention. No player, whether
boy or a big Lacquer. is going to
do much hitting unless he is
{. .-.pped tn bat which bal
ances well in his hands, and one
which he can swing easily.
/ had occasion a few years ago
to take part in some exercises
which included a ball game be-
tween teams of boys about II or
is years Of age. They had about
a dozen bats spread out near their
bench and naturally I was at
tracted by them. I picked up
one and I st quite surprise,
it was SO heavy.
