The sketch pictures how this can be overdone. Reaching too far down with the hands during the address causes the arms to straighten out too much while at the same time it pulls the body over into too much stoop. Power is lost when there is too much stoop, however much you may feel, when stooped away over, that you are going to hit harder. . hits originate through freedom ' of bodily action and the stoop, as Scott; by of game, 2 Coll- umpires, Kay and Sullivan. right through the shown in the sketch, does not en- courage freedom. ---- QUINN WITH TIGERS.

The ability to beat the real con- tenders is what wins pennants, Pittsburg leads in the National League because it has the edge on New York and Cincinnati, its two most dangerous rivals. Washington is within striking dis- tance of the Athletics because it has won nine of the 14 games played with the Mackmen. Eight games are still to be played between Philadelphia and Washing- ton. Those eight games will prob- ably decide the pennant in the Am- erican League. The Washington club makes no bones of the fact that remaining games with Philadelphia are the key to the championship.

"That hardly holds true in baseball where the defensive and offensive | strength play a somewhat equal | part. A good defense hinges largely around the infield of a team.

The moment a tight situation pre- sents itself every member of the Washington infleld starts to chant. "Come on, let's turn in a play for them." That is the expression used when a double play is most necessary to save the day.

The failure to complete a two-ply killing can usually be traced to some slip in the handling of the ball. Famous double-play combinations always gamble, they are "take-a- chance" players. The ball must be thrown with speed and the players involved must anticipate the throw. Mere tossing or lobbing the ball loses many a play that could have { been turned with speedy handling. * ss In the handling of the ball one finds the difference between success jand failure in the making of double | plays.
