()1! many )cars the practice
of taking a. full swing at
the ball has teadlly in-
creased. so that today the
great majority of major
league players use this method in
hitting.
Although Babe Ruth's success at
long distance hitting was a great im-
petus to this manner of betting. it is
not the original cause
The change from the short chop
first became noticeable when the
pitcher's box was moved back sixty
feet from the home plate.
The old manner of hitting gave
the batter a better opportunity to
judge the ball and lessened the ef-
fectiveness of the speed merchants
among the pitchers.
speed Did It That.
In the days when the back line of
the pitcher's box- was only 50 feet
away from the plate. pitchers could
more easily depend upon speed alone
A
out sixty-foot distance.
It is a common expression that no
matter how much speed a, pitcher
has he cannov. throw them by the
better.
The present day pitcher needs
something else in his “kit" so to
speak, and his most valuable asset is
ability to mix a good slow ball with
his fast one.
Those old-timers ‘Wlth terrific
speed were able at the short distance
to show wonderful effectiveness
withouhmlxing in a slow ball. It
was an” exceptionally good hitter
who suceeded against those follows.
if he used a long swing.
When old Cy Young was pitching
in his palmy days. a fellow was
lucky to get his but around with
even a short chop stroke.
Had Quid: Breaking Ball.
Amos Rusele was another onthoee
fast ball pitchers who also had a
quick-breaking curve ball which he
threw with practically the same
speed as his fast ball.
When Amos was in his prime a
rookie on the old Philliee was about
to go to bat against him for the first
time. Knowing Russia's great repu-
tation. this rookie asked Dick Cooley
the best thing to do in facing all
that speed.
Cooley replied: "You go up there.
kid. and hold on to your hat as tight
as you can. and if you swing at all
you will be lucky’ if he don't knock .
it out of your halide. "
Although free-hitting with a long
swing is now the usual custom. we
believe this style is at its peak and
a change to more hunting and sherb-
etroke hitting is growing.
nine Singles the Thing.
This change is due p pally to
the fact that so many ong nice
which just miss going over the
fences are caught when the same ‘
batten would increase the number of
their safe hits by more frequently
trying for line singles.
. This long hitting has revolution-
ised outfield play. The outlieldera
play so deep nowadays to be able to
get under the long hits. that they
cannot catch many lrne drives over
the infield which formerly were outs.
