How To Hit
Lesson Given
By J.. Vosmik

Twenty-one-year-oId Joe Vosmik,
who is hitting right up with the
leaders In his first year In the
majors, gave a batting lesson TO
Interviewer Austen Lake, a Boston
baseball writer, the other day.
There Is something In what Joe
says. Here's the yarn:
There Is a tradition in major
league baseball that the best bat
ting eyes are brown-a deep brown,
shiny and alert, like those Of Rog-
ers HornSby, Babe Ruth, Frank
ODoui, AL Simmons. But Cleveland
Joe Vosmik'S eyes are amber-green
though they have the same search
ing keenness that Is characteristic
Of other sluggers.
Hitting, SO they say, Is primar-
ily In the eyes. The keener the sight
the quicker the impulse TO the
nerve center that operates the
mechanical action Of the body.
Eyes like those of Vosmik's C'head-
lights" Rabbit Maranville calls
them indicate the true hitter more
than his sturdy shoulders and mar
row hips. They are the prenatal
gift that made him a potential bat
ting genius from the moment that
he was born and not developed.
For. as Ty Cobb used to say, great
batters are born
Homer on Curve Ball
1T was Vosmik's hit over the
left-field fence at Fenway Park
that broke up q ball game In the
tenth inning yesterday.
what sort Of pitch did you hit?"
I asked. !.
"A curve on the outside corner
he replied. "A fairly wide curve.
} When I hit that long ball TO Oliver
in the sixth II was q straight, fast
one, q little high. That single /
scratched off the handle In the
first was a change OF pace, inside.
/ guess they r experimenting on
me. mixing them up to see whether
I have any weak spots. They throw
mostly curves TO me because young
fellows just coming up are sup
posed to be shy on curves
Following the Ball
How much Of a curve ball do
o see before you hit it?'
Practically until my bat meets
II. OF course a batter starts his
swing Just about when the bali
begins to curve and as his swing
develops he adjusts its direction to
follow the ball. That's why he's
got to watch II carefully until the
bat meets II. I can even see the
first flash of the balls flight after
the bat strikes 1t and II starts of
on its ride.
It's all In the timing. There's
a point where the swing reaches
the maximum OF its power. Your
power increases as you approach
that point and diminishes after. II
you nail the ball at the peak II
