Must Be On Alert

If the pitcher gets you in a
hole by getting two strikes on
you quickly, then you have to
be on the alert. It is a good
idea, under such conditions, to
shorten your grip on the bat.
BY that, I mean to move your
hands a little farther from the
end of the handle and be set
to take shorter swing at the
ball. You know the longer the
swing the more likely you are
to miss the ball. This explains
why so many of the long-dls-
tance hitters are so high in
strikeouts. and, fellows with the
shorter swing, are so much
more difficult to strike out.
Don't be to anxious and swing
at anything after the pitcher
gets you in a hole, because a
smart pitcher is going to pitch
wide or high to you, in the
hope that you will swing at a
bad ball. But, as I said before.
you must be on the alert to

COLUMBIA
TOFLY OCEAN

ATLANTA, Ga, July 1.-THE
monoplane Columbia. twice con-
queror of the Atlantic Ocean,
will take off from a Southern
city, probably Atlanta, in the
next few weeks on it's third trans.
atlantic flight, with Capt. j. Err
roll Boyd at the controls.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted to recover the wings that
carried Clarence Chamberlin and
Charles Levine from New York
to Germany, and Boyd and Harry
Connor from Harbor Grace. New
foundland, to Lands End, Eng
land, and to install extra gaso-
line tanks, Captain Boyd revealed
here.
Follow Old Route
Atlanta has been tentatively
selected as the initial take-off
point for the hop to Harbor
Grace, with a stop at New York.
From there Captain Boyd will fly
alone the route that he and Con-
nor traversed in 1880 to bring
them and the famous Bellanca
monoplane worldwide fame. Cap
tain Boyd said:
'It has been my ambition to
fly the Atlantic solo. This year
1 will get started earlier and
consequently make the trip un-
der better weather conditions.
1 hope to get started within six
weeks"
Was War Filler
Captain Boyd learned to fly in
1914 at EaStchurch, England, and
was a captain in the British
forces before the war.
In October, 1915, Captain Boyd
was shot down at Zeebruge while
raiding a German submarine base
there. He was interned in Hol-
land, but in 1915 paroled to the
United States. arriving here to
join American airplane manufac-
turers in testing the Army's
planes that were to go overseas.

When a player takes his
place in the batter's box he is
not there merely to swing at
anything he thinks he can hit.
The good batter is the one who
uses his head as we'll as his bat
and engages in a battle of wits
with the pitcher who is trying
to fool him.
Make him pitch the ball over
the plate. He has trouble
enough out there trying to get
it over and at the same time
trying to place the ball where
you do not want it. Make his
work just as difficult as you
possibly can.
How can you do that? Well
in several ways. One is to so
the limit with a pitcher when
he is wild. Say for instance
that he has walked two men
ahead of you, or even walked
the batter ahead of you with
four straight pitches. That is
enough to prove that he is hav-
ing trouble with his control.
Under such conditions never
walk up and take a swing at
the first ball he pitches to you,
even if it does look good. Let a
strike go by if necessary. He
has to pitch two more anyway
to strike you out.

. Take the case of a batter
when the pitcher has pitched
two or three balls in succession,
with no strikes. It is always a
good play, with two and moth
ing, or three and nothing. to
let the next one go by, no mat
ter how good it looks. But,
when you are going to take one,
as they say. do not stand there
with your bat hanging in one
hand. as batters sometimes do.
Make the pitcher guess
whether you are going to take
a swing at the ball or let it go
by, Act just the same at the
plate as if you were waiting to
swing at it.
The Washington times., 1931-07-13
Waiting Out Pitcher

Give the pitcher to understand
that he has to pitch to you.
Wait him out when you can,
take as many as you can but
always stand as If you were
about to have your swing.
This advice on walLing out a
pitcher when he is wild, or when
you have him in a hole, applies
to most every hitter III the bat
ting order, even the fellows bat
ting third, fourth or fifth But
like all rules, it has an exception
or two. For instance we have
the case of a good hitting
catcher coming up to bat. Two
are out and the game is close.
It would not be good baseball
for him to work the pitcher to
the limit in order to get a base
on balls, if this would bring up
weak hitting pitcher. Under
these conditions it should be the
play of the pitcher to step in
end take his swings at anything
that he might have a good
chance to hit. When a weak
hitter follows a good one it is
sometimes a good idea to forget
about making a pitcher pitch.
But ordinarily, make him
pitch. If he is wild help him
GROW wilder. Remember that Won
don't have to hit the ball to be
valuable member of your team.
Many a game has been won by
runs which started from passes,
and remember that a pitcher
who walks. you is going to have
more to worry about after you
get on base.

7 { X R|CKARD.
OPPOSED
MATCH
BY JkCK DEMPSEY

AAAANAA
!, The remarkable power that
Jess willard had to absorb punish
ment was demonstrated in the
third and final round of our
championship fight at Toledo,
July 4, 1919. had dropped him
seven times in the opener, had
punched him around with more
than fair enthusiasm in the sec
sond, and then blasted at him
with all I had left in the third.
But he remained upright.
I almost wore out my fists in
the first half of the third trying
to flatten him. Realizing then
that was arm weary and that
some of the full zip was absent
from my shots, I quit trying to
pound him to the canvas in that
session.
Fierce Body Attack
Deliberately, 1 went along with
q fierce body attack, figuring that
& could so soften him up in that
round so he would hardly be able
to stand up in the fourth, When
3 few, well-placed hooks to the
chin would cause him to wilt into
defeat.
., But there wasn't fourth
round. hardly expected there
would be as the bell ended the
third. Jess was sagging even
then.
Another minute-yes,, even 80
seconds-of that hammering on
his body in the third would have
caused his collapse. AS the bell
rang and we started to our cor.
sfiers at the end of the third, l
looked at Jess Willard and knew
that I was to succeed him as
champion of the world.
Jess teetered and lurched to his
corner. He had to be guided to
his seat and tumbled into it. His
arms hung limp at his seat: his
legs sprawled before him; his face,
"a CORY mass, slumped on his
>schest. He was "out" then. His
handlers tried for about 80 Sec
-onds to restore a little strength.
But it was no use. Nausea at
tackled Jess
=. So his seconds held hasty
conference and, just as the bell
was about to ring for the fourth,
q towel was hurled into the ring.
That token OF defeat ended the
bout. But the odd thing is that
it didn't land in the ring itself. 1t
floated on the ropes.
The referee didn't see it there
and was ready to summon us to
action when his attention was
called to the towel dangling on
j the strands. Then he rushed
over and lifted my ARMAND
that was the end of the fight
and the beginning of my seven
i years of fistic kingship.
I recall nov, when the match
was first proposed to Tex Rick
ard that he was opposed to it
violently.
mo, no." he said. 81 won't
git mixed up in a thing where
it's sure a little fellow like
Dempsey will be kilt"
After a lot of pressure was
applied. Tex reluctantly agreed
to make a try at it. Willard had
about decided to retire. He had
plenty of money then and didn't
like the boxing game anyway.
Tex offered Jess 100000 and
that was too much of a tempta-
tion for the big Kansan. He &C.
cepted.
Dempsey Got S27,5OO
Tex thought that maybe I'd
fight for nothing but training
expenses but, after a while, he
agred to pay us $4,000 plus
$4,000 for training-a total of
$27,5O0.
+, The show didn't do so we'll
not as compared with fights of
a later day. But Tex cleaned
up about $4,000. which con-
tented him, Jess had 100000 to
add to his bankroll, and I had
10 title that eventually was con-
tVerted into about $5,00O,0 900 gross.
