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.

North Broad »t . Atlanta, Ga. Oppoett. Third National Bank. 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.

But you ought to hear what the three Rochester discard* with the Crackers now Graham, Alperman and Chap uelle—say about them. Their testimony is corroborated by Third-Baseman Ward of the Memphis club, also a Broncho cast-off. • V * Both Kroh and Chappelle, who work ed Tuesday, hurled spitters with con siderable regularity—the only differ ence being that Bill was getting away with It. * * ♦ Hisland, playing marvellously ot short for the Crackers, never played that jm>- sltion before in his life until he came to Atlanta.
