In learning to meet the ball

than in trying to place it as you

Another question on which
yung plaert waste a lot of time
is that of figuring what the pitch

throw a curve? a fast ball? a wide
one? And what's the thing to do?

yea. I don't believe In "guess hit
ting." and " never" do it 'myself.
Borne Of the great batterwit know,
say that by figuring what the
pitcher is trying to deliver thej're
able to set, themselves for it and
hiCbett because it; and this
would be an excellent principle f
ery Dattlrjcpuld always' outguess
tne pitcher. I remember pne game
in which, our team - ouUigured a
pit cher by always swinging: at the
Jiirst jbafl he pitched ; tnat was b
cau80 we knew that Invariably he
made the -first ball good. '-But

".The trouble with -guess hit
I'ng" i that it's bo frequently mis
leading. Suppose you bare figured
that the pitcher is going to deliver
a low curve, and you set yourself
for it. Then you. find k fast ball
speeding toward; the "plate chest
high. You haven't time to reset
yourself and take" a fnll cut at the
bail; the. result is ettb.erj.that is
sails' over for ' a called strike, or
that you whifT a it, or send it off
for a foul or- easy out; " '
f If, on that same balVyoa'd been
ready for- any good pitch, within
the strike zone, instead of being
prepared only for the one kinQ of
ball (the kind that didn't come),
youd have had a much:. better
rjiance of hitting It squarely. As
a rule, guess hitters have a bat
ting average of around .240.
That's why I say "wait "for the
good ones:"
There's a lot of volue to a play

a manager's bearing down on the
batter. . Running out .every kinu
of -hit is mighty important.: It
does" notlmake. any difference' if
the hit Is . the simplest kind of
grounder to second baseman, if
first baseman is all set to field the
throw and you're still 40feet from
the bag. A thousand things can
happen to prevent the completion
of the play; , and if you're tearing
for 4irst you can get . there In time
to take advantage of every mis
take. . A fielder can drop a ball
and pick it up again in just an in
stantbut if you're on the ground
that instant, is long enough to
make a great big difference.
, About" everything I've told you
so far has been connected with the
mechanics of hitting. There are
some important .elements that
aren't " mechanical. 1 The ones 1
want to tell you of are these
confidence and determination.

and known as a fine hitter,1 but he

Washington star, and Johnson had
been gi ing Cuyler serious trouble
right along. - ' ' -
There were three men on base,
two were out. Washington and
Pittsburgh were tied up each
had three games ad seven runs In
the final game. jCuyler had two
strikes and no blls; apparently
the great ' Johnsdn - was "' to end
Pittsburgh's-only nance since the
series had opened to take the lead.
Cool as a young Eskimo, Cuyler
stood in' his box and let two balls
fwhiz past into the catcher's glove.
Two and two! Whpn the next ball
came Cuyler swung and the ser
