(Joiilil (Associated Press Sports Editor) Jimmle Foxx, the cherubfaced far mer boy from, Maryland's eastern shore, already has offered as one reason for his phenomenal hitting this summer an eagerness to get his bat on any pitch close to the plate, He has quit waiting for good, balls and has found he can hit those "a little bad" Just as well and as far. But there's something else behind the .400 batting average and the nome runs connie Muck's . power house has accumulated. Jimmle has changed the weight of his bats and the new sticks probably have- more to. do with his steady mauling than his eagerness to take anything with in reach. K X I.lfiHTKH WAT , , , Talking it over. Foxx .. pondered several minutes before he decided to tell. "Everyone thought," he said final ly, "that because I was big and had plenty of power I should .swing a heavy !tlck. They gave me bats about the heft Babe Ruth uses, 40 to . 41 ounces, and . didn't do so well last year. "This spring,, without aavlria any thing to anyone I ordered a half dozen sticks myself and the only requirement I made was that they scale under, 37 ounces. A couple of them are only 30 ounces. Well, they've made all the dif ference In the world In my hitting. I use a thinner grip anyway than the Babe does, with more weleht out around the end of the bat. That gives mo more wood on the ball. So I found that these new clubs, oven though they were lighter, drove balls farther than the heavier ones I'd been using. "I've been trying to figure It out and Jn my mind it gets down1 to two things. "Tho lighter the stick . Js ' the faster you can swing it. It's fnov ing Just a little more briskly, than a, heavy club when It meets' the ball. That sends the ball away faster. Faster away means farther. "Then, with , lighter sticks, X seem to be able to wait a tiny fraction of a second longer before .1 have to start my swing. That's because the lighter club gets there faster, too. But, more important, it gives me that extra time to Judge a ball as it comes up to the plated " "If it's a curve I get an' ' ejfira glimpse at the way it's breaking 'be fore I let go. Mnybe in that .time I can see it's going to break outside anyway and I save hitting at a bad ball or missing entirely. If it's a last ball I get that extra chance to juugc just how fast (t Is. Sometimes that's good. Sometimes there's noth ing can help you if the guy throw ing is fast enough.
