no loss if Mr
Batters have their peculiar notions
about taking their positions at bat,
and most of them have some little od-
dities they indulge in just before'
stepping into the batsman's box. A'
few really believe that by going
through a certain set of motions and
ridiculous dldos it will bring good
luck. Others do it for effect, a'
grandstand play. or for their ownf
amusement.‘
However, the great batsmen of the
game, with few exceptions. rarely in-
dulge in any of this fancy stuff either
before or after getting to the plate.
Sam Crawford. iniole, “‘Honus" Wag 1'
her, “Home Run" Baker, and a few
lather famous batsmen have a very‘
1buslncss—like air about them 'when
taking their positions at the plate.
The fact that they are there is suf-
ficient to worry any pitcher. y
A chap by the name of Lewes, who‘V
used to play with Buffalo when Dan
Shannon was manager of the Bison»;
' had a stunt he always pulled off bc- '
fore hitting at a ball. that reminded
one of an lndian medicine man go;
lug through his mysterious incanta
tions of invoking aid from-tile father
of the great waters. Just before his. .
turn came to face the pitcher. Lewes

would face the sum—that is, if it wersI
visible’é—tben walk slowly to the plate,
step on it with both feet. carefully
turn around twice. step back, and hit
the ball—that is. if he did not strike
out.
“Ty" Cobb makes a great fuss be-
fore going to the plate. and generally
creates a great fuss after reaching it.
“Ty” has some stunts that are an-
noying to the pitcher that he pulls off .
in between balls and strikes. which
ever the case may be. He will pose
as if ready' for the onslaught. then
suddenly stoop' down ’and grab a _
handful of dirt just as the pitcher lsV
about to pitch. ”Ty" does not seemi1
to worry whether the ball goes over
the plate or1 not, for Cobb takes a
strike, about“ meekly as any man.
