PREP LEAGUE NOTES
The Tech athletes who returned from
the S. I. A. A. meet at New Orleans
say that if Joe Logan had not fallen on
the last hurdle in the i20-yard race
he would easily have established a new
Southern record for that event. The
man who passed Joe when he fell beat
the old mark by 4-5 of a second, and
Logan was six feet ahead of him when
he hit the last hurdle.

Although the bases were full with no
outs in the ninth inning of a game
Monday, G. M. C. could not score, and
the game was won by Riverside 3 to 0.
Williamson, Riverside’s all-prep pitch

19 batters.
The Southern prep season is fast
nearing a close, and Riverside has yet
to meet its first defeat this year. The
team has the remarkable record of
winning nineteen straight games.

The race will be sailed in Septem

IJpton will at once get into com

Sir Thomas considers that the
conditions of acceptance of his chal

are a great victory for him He says
they will enable him to build a good,
seaworthy boat.
It i« still a question whether Sir
Thomas will be. allowed to tow hla
yacht across the Atlantic.
Asked whether he thought the de
fenders would meet him with a big
ger boat than the challenger, Sir
Thomas replied:
‘That does not give m** the least
worry. They have always treated me
In the most generous and sportsman
like spirit.”
The New York Yacht Club’s ac
ceptance of the challenge says:
“The races are to be sailed as you
suggested, under our present rules of I
measurement, tirrn* allowance and;
racing rules, It being understood that
the rule requiring a yacht to rate at
the highest limit of her class in cer
tain cases shall not apply to this
match.”

T
By “Chief” Meyers
(Star catcher of the Giants and one
of the greatest hitters in the
National League.)
B ATTING ability 1h the high art !
of baseball. True skill with the j
Ptick hides many a minor fault.:
Brilliancy in all other lines pales into!
nothingness if not backed by at least j
leverage hitting power.
"Can he hit?” is the universal ques- ;
tion which greets the announcement
of every now arrival to the game. The 1
three magic words embody the chief
concern of scout, manager and pub- I
lie.
There Is a so-called axiom in our
profession that “batters are born, not
made.” I disagree with such logic.
There ip the same opportunity for im
provement In batting as In fielding
or base running. The sphere may be
just a trltle more limited because phy
sical equipment enters more strongly
into the calculations.
Not every one, of course, no mat
ter how studious, may become a Ty
Cobb or a Honus Wagner. And it is
a mighty good thing for the pitch-
ers* and catchers thftt this is eo. Few
athletes have the lightning speed of!
Cobb, which enables him to heal
plenty of Infield raps which would]
be. easy outs against average runners
Few’ again have the muscular power
of Wagner, which enables him to
drive the ball with rtfie-like velocity j
Nevertheless, serious study and
painstaking practice will go a long
way toward overcoming the majority I
of physical handicaps.
.300 Notch Real Feat.
When one stops to consider condi
tions, a .300 batting average strike? |
home ns real achievement. It means
hitting safely three times In every
ten chances. The batsmen, singie-
handed. must fight an army of obsta- J
t-les. In the first place he has a per
fectly round stick with which to pro
pel a perfectly round ball thrown
from « distance of C5 feet with all
the force of human power.
He. has approximately half a second
from the time the ball leaves the
pitcher’s fingers until It Is up to him.
In that half second he must swing his
bat so that the curved surfaces .ot
the two objects (bat and ball) meet
fairly In the middle of their respec
tive lines of flight. If he hits the least
fraction oi’ an inch under the hall it
means a fly of some sort—either foul
or fair.
Now there are nine, agile and active
opponents so distributed throughout
the playing field that any sort of
high fly means certain retirement.
If the batter hits a fractional inch
over the ball ho wands it down to
the ground, where the speed is
checked, and where it is generally
quite easy for one of the in fielders
to intercept it.
Add to these complications a skilled
j pitcher who can make the hall vary
many ways in its flight to the plate,
and that little half second of grace
dwindles almost into nothingness. The
wonder then is that so many reach
the select clast*.
Swing of Natural Hitter.
Still there are certain principles
of batting science that will help to
overcome these obstacles. The most
important, to my mind, is that of
meeting the ball in front of the body
This is no more than the swing of
the player Who is termed the natural
hitter. Zimmerman, Wagner, Lajoie,
Doyle* and Cobb all employ the style.
Some of them may do it all un
consciously I know 1 did for sev
eral year.* 1 before 1 joined the Giants.
1 always hit the ball very hard. Mc-
Graw pointed out to me the reason.
He drills and drills this idea Into nis
men morning, noon and night. Mc-
Graw has developed a number of
high-class hitters from average ma
terial.
A1 Bridwell Is a player that I would
term a “made” hitter. In a pinch he
was one of our most trusty batsmen,
for he was sure to play every t-’hade
in his own favor Bridwell became
proficient by learning to meet the
ball in front of himself.
Here an* some of the advantages
of this style of swing. More power
is. behind the thrust, for the entire
weight of the body is called Into play
in reaching forward to meet the ball.
It 1m naturally the very steadiest po.^i
sible attitude, for it does not handi- i
cap> the eye. The line of vision docs
not change, as would be the.* case ifi
one let the hall come up even to the
plate. If will be readily appreciated
that a style which permits the most]
advantageous use of such an impor- ,
tant factor as eyesight Is one of un
usual merit.
