When | Cobb bats he "steps into" thé ball. | He throws every ounce of his strength directly into (he sphere, He bats lefthanded and stands with his feet together until the start -of his. wing.

When a cue comes in contact with the ball the main object of the player is to drive the sphere in a certain pre- cise direction. This is not his only object, of course, since 'his second- ary intention is to drive the ball a certain distance; but digectign his main thought. And Re Rereat bilHard players get at exact di- rection by following through with their cues. In fact, it may be said that the distance the bill will travel is determined at the instant of con- tact between cue and ball, and that the direction it is to take Is not de- ttroined until thie instant the cue leaves the ball at the end of the stroke. : When the cue does not follow through the stroke is necessarily Jerky and 'unicertain, exactly as the baseball batsman's swing is when he steps away from the ball, or as the golfer's awing is uncertain when he does not follow through. Goli- ers know, more {han #1 others, and more to their infinte sorrow, the disastrous penalties of failure to obey this law.
