1-posito is anxious for another
bout with Young Mulligan. The
ltamford battler claims that he was
not feeling well on the date of their
last bout in the local armory. He
promlsw to reverse the verdict this
time. ;
Joe Welling. at one time contend-
er for the lightweight title is malt-
li a a comeback in the ring and is
anxious to appear 0i. the local card.
He may be matched up in the semi-
tinel bout with Bobby Robideau. If
Welling is anything like he was in
his prime the fans should see plenty
of action.
Rose is working on two other
test bouts which will be announced
at a later date. The local club hopes
to draw a larger crowd than they
did at the Mulligan-Sharkey scrap.

In ell sports. term plays a most
important pert.
.There is a set way to do everything
and that method is generally looked
upon as the best.
In golf there is the correct stance.
the proper grip. the tollow .through
and a. number of other mannerisms
regarded as necessary to get distance
and accuracy to one's shots.
The same holds good for baseball.
A maJority of players have decided.
ly similar «$er at the hat. The feet
are just so far apart. the distance
trons the plate is invariably the
urns, the bat is held at about the
same spot and it is considered most
enential to step into every pitch
rather than pull away.
.
O .
It has long been a theory of base-
ball that: no batsman could'echieve
greatness who failed to step into the
ball as he started is swing. To pull
away from the plate was a fatal
fault. .
Then along came Al Simmons or
the Philadelphia Athletics. He prov-
ed to be one of the few exceptions.
Simmons has a very unorthodox
style at the bet. He '-'pulls"‘-on a
great. many pitches. This habit early
in his major career caused him to
be called “Foot‘-in-the-Bucket" Bim-
mons.
Moat any mans rer other than
Connie Mack would probably have
started to change his style the mo-
ment he arrived in the training
, ._ camp.

Waterbury. July l.-Local civic
clubs and the Waterbury Advertising

h‘Eastern League Baseball club fran-
chise in Waterbury. it was learned
after a meeting of representatives of
the organisations yesterday.
This action has at least tempor-
arily halted the plans of the officials
of the Brassco club to shift the
franchise to another city.
There is every indication that e
twilight schedule will be adopted.

Montgomery. Als.. the year Sim-
mons joined the A's. I at once ex.
pressed surprise at his unusual bat-
ting style.
"Do you think he will be able to
hit in the majors with that style?"
i asked Nanager Mack.
“Well. he has hit the hall where-
cver he has played and it‘s the same
size ball up here." was Connie‘s la-
conic reply. « v - -
"Note the long bat he uses and
then ,watch his position atter he
‘pulis' and you will observe he isn't
as far away from the plate as it
seems." he continued.
I did and realized the truth of
Mack‘s wisdom. Simmons is today
one of the best batters in the Amer-

Umpire declares Infleldlly on ball

cr's box. Catcher makes a play on
bail and muffs it. Does that make
any difference in the play?
0 O O
No doubt the wording of the rule,
which says an inneld fly is a fair fly
ball other than a line drive that can
be handled by an intielder, is what
raises the question as to whether
the handling of the ball by the
catcher affects the play.
It does not. It matters not who
makes the play. provided the umpire
is of the opinion that said ball could
be handled by an infielder.
The fact that the catcher dropped
the ball near the pitcher's box is
evidence that anybody on the infield
could have probably played the ball
better than he did.
