EYE CONCENTRATION
EASY IN BASEBALL
More Difficult to Keep Optics Glued on Stationary Golf
Ball Than on Horsehide Speeding Up to
Plate From Pitcher's Box
W(0 Kpcp liis 'cc on n bnscbnll,
hioli Is moving swiftly, than it is for
n Kolcr to Keep Ills cje on n golf ball,
wliieli iin't moving at all?"
Tliii query lias been promulgated
wore than once.
lu the first place, it Is n matter o
tclf.piotection to 'a batsman to follow
the ball.
He Knows that i he tfoesn't a bard,
round object H likely to land in the
midlife of his ftaturcs with annoying re-
suit. . , ...
In the second place, a moving ball
focuses attention more than u station -nrv
object does. 1,1
When 11 pitcher with no great sipced
l lobbing his slow ball oer there is a
far greater temptation to Hhlttlttao eje
than there is with a fast pitcher dust
ing off the inside corner.
Further Proof
ONCE in a while a tennis player
icmovcs his c)C from the ball before
he stiokes it. but not nearly bo often
as a golf player. .
The eve of the tennis player is held
bv the movement of Hie ball, wherever
the eve of the golfer is quivering to
look u't Mttnc buuker ahead or come water
hazard that must be carried. '
The golfer has uo moving objeptlo
IipIii hold his ooncentration. Which
twites quite a difference.
Tho .300 Hitter
WHEN J speak of the .300 hitter
5011 may not appreciate what a rare
bird' he is. . ,
Among seeond basemen, shortstops
and third basemen who began their en
lcers within the last twenty-five years
nud who have served more thnn a sea
son or two, only four average above
00 for the entire span.
These four arc AJagner. Lnjoie. Lol
tai and Honifby. Tliere isn't a third
baseman in the list who averages ."00
for hi-, career. Hchilo Zimmermanu did
up tlirougli 101(1. but the Great 551tn

brace SIslcr. Collins, Hornsby and Oroh
And it's the longer road that counts.
Hlghts and Lefts ,
THIS seems to be a timely moment to
settle another debate ns to the pro
portion of right and left handed hitters
in baseball.
Since most of the great hitters are
left-hand swingers, the idea seems to
have been that this tjpc predominates.
The fan thinks of Cobb, Collins.
Speaker. Itotish. Sisler. Ruth, etc., and
the first Impression is that baseball is
largely n game of southern exposure.'
But in going over thr rccordi of the
National League you will find that 118
bat right-handed. 48 bat left-handed
and 11 arc equally gentle and well
broken from either side of the plate.

FILMS SHOW M'LEAN WRONG
American Skater Not Given Wrong
Signal as He Claimed
Chrlstlania, Feb. 1!!. Films taken
of the 10.000-mltrc ice-skating race ou
Sunday between Oscar Mathicscn, of
Christiuuia, and Itobcrt McLean, nf
Chicago, show that the llagman at the
curve wheie Mcl.cim took the inner in
stead of tiic outer track gave the Amer
ican skater the proper signal.
It is therefore held here that Mc
Lean's claim that an incorrect higunl,
given by an offieifil at the curve, was
the cause of his mistake in taking the
wrong course is tmtcnnblc.
