S A.' \NTi> \IO. T»v, March 29 Hughey Jennings la hoping to rc
i • t , ;on* of Georg** Mail'd and Kid Harper what he terms
i dm hi baseball. Hughey Is determined to make these young
if,K» pi.in hitter* of »he old Keeler-McOraw type. Jenntng-,
<mi Kh"\\ !.•*!»• v* - H .ii an > capable batsman can he turned Into a jflacc
imi, ~f in nviditig Ins type of awing ia suitable to accurate macing
1t,,,1, \t , I |,;,d Harper are th** right aort. They catch the bat up near
i1,,. m ,'i i chop the ball with « abort, vicious stroke which la h*
down the right Held foul line as it ia the left. Only this
tvpe'of |,o . r i in b« made Into a place hitter. Crawford and Veach could

qualify in (hi> respect.
A |i ,*•!,•'> began to discourse on this subject, lie forgot all about
Mil ct . .» iarp i t• >i the time being, and bewailed the passing of the
bum ;,i i mi and run. The Tiger pilot aerioualy deems these plays
jo art » • ball, and t,c Isn’t inclined to llnd an> silver lining to this
cloud .1 • .tun: wants lots >f bunting and the hit and run for his club Just
a . earn, -tl> h* hop, feu better pltcbiug, but he has no great optimism
in this reaped.
"I don't 11k* to -a > that team play isn’t what if used to be,” said Hughey
Auburnlo liu I guc s that Is very true. You can't make ball play
« i bunt much .tiiv more, and they don't seem to know much about the hit
and run li th., Tigris would only hunt aud spring this hit and run stuff
ut t 1 * id Haltßnor- Orioles of course, Hughey had to mention the
Or <d<wo )<d that <>ri of thing, winning thin American league pennant
would b>' a pipe.
Hughey Orates

Th don’t want to bunt and they don’t like the hit. and
run. with i! impiem demand that bad halls be hit somewhere. If they
are thrown out aper an attempt of this kind, they go bark to the bench
feeding that t they had been left alone, they could have put a home run
over th‘* fence and been heroes.
"Don't think that when I send a Tiger up to bunt or pull some of this
strategic tufT that he rebels. There is no mutiny on this club. But how
In Sam II II r.m hi- *>r' of baseball be worked successfully if the soul of
the play, i no in it and they don’t practice enough to become proft
cii nt m thi.- r- per: ’ I can order bunting and hit and run practice till j
am black in the face, instead of freckled and red, and If the hearts of
ib»- pla *1 - an not in it. It won't do them much good. There is too much
of tht.- thou* ■ ii» -s pr actice in baseball, anyway. If I tumble in»o a pre
mature giave, i will be the fault of these hall players who have to be
told ,i hoii i ,! lii > to do a thing and how to do a thing, and the next
tint*- out lorgt i ill about It. They say they are trying Maybe they are.
They work hard mechanically, but they don't grasp the real idea of a
suggestion and - n< vei pet a tlmi hold on it That sort of practice isn'*
worth ih" lime it takes, and I Hin sorry to sav that if is the kind yep
many be'.l p .iycr* iak>*. if \ou don’t believe it, recall the number of natii
ral!\ prom is'tig players who come up, stick for a year or two without ini
proving, and 'm-n drop hark This failure to mix real intelligence in their
develop ia the big trouble with moat of them.
"That's the way with this hatting proposition It is mighty hard now
days to get it, t,.,\ proficient in the hunt and the bit and run. because
they don’t g ' i .< ir In nt -and gray matter enthusiastic in the practice
thereof \ud ,( they ire not profit lent. the plays enn’t he worked in

noodle 1t..-* fh< be>t.i !. ayetages will niff or. it Is impossible to induce
them to do anything except straightawa: hitting, and until this idea i*
changed, th> • extremely valuable plays that I have been discussing will
continue to be ju t. what 1 called them -lost arts."
Havers Have Wrong Idea
JKNNIVSB isn't so sure as the players that more frequent use of th,
' and run and bunting will embarrass batting average He con
old Orlol* again, and ,alls attention to the fiui that thi
*• * of ;ti. halting teams in the history of the game
• n it I id yirtually a 'loo average for ih, entire club. The Or oles
! 'ought • w > hitting club. Keeler. McOraw, Kelley and Hughey
"< < up. I\ pulling tiie unexpe, ted and letting the base hits
< i■ of hern •1 y, Hut their averages didn’t suffer Jennings *\
t I* the far* they practiced the art of bunting and place hitting to
extent th * makes modem hatting practice a tin horn affair. They
I, * ned to bmt o that the chance of a double play was nix. and the
< .me of .i- ,f, blow instead of a sacrifice was at least 60-50. That whole
tribe got so that It could pull and push the ball all over the field, and
Keeler and MckJl w became ihe greatest place hitters of all time. They
grew to po k .1 hole and shove the ball Into it with deadly precision. si>
proficient did this club become that the hit and run became a two-base cer
taint' for the runner, with more than a probability that the batter himself
would be sate at first. _ .
A Matter of Work
YOU can’t convince Hughey that anv good batter who uses a chop
stroke can’t <U> the name thing. He concedes that It takes long
months of persistent practice, hut he asserts that this is a sure pre
script lon. Did you ever think of Kavanagh as a place hitter? Well
admit that we didn’t until Jennings told a little story and urged us to be
more observing !>urlng all the long morning practices lust summer, Kav
anagh refused to hit a ball straightaway. The wild Irishman insisted upon
pulling every ball, first to right and then to left field. He got so in prac
tice that he shoved the hall tn these two directions about as he pleased.
He tried the scheme in actual games. A slant at the score books reveals
that he did hit into an astonishing variety of gardens. Martv is working
along this same line this spring, and Is getting results. Jennings thinks
b»- will become a deadly place hitter In lime. If he does, he will be a mir
acle man with the mice, for ho is a terrifically hard hitter, too.
1 ii ■» ..
Maisel and Harper have started their course of instruction. Both have
ihe kna- k of hitting into all fields developed far beyond the skill usually
exhibited in young play era. They are both quick learning and quick think
ing young chappies, and if Jennings' theory is correct, the Tigers eventually
will become one of the very successful hit and run clubs, for it is very
likely that both of these recruit* will be in the regular lineup before many
years have paired.
Keeler and McGraw
WILLIK KEELER has been known for years a* the greatest place
hn'er of all time. Jennings doesn't subscribe to that theory He
think MrfVraw waa better than Keeler in this art. The records
don i show ibis, but there is a reason. McOraw was one of the
Ertultilt i» ui off mui Lliu game evor maw, and ha insisted upon nulling a
Homo flu h and gening a walk every time he could. John was a wonder
at fouling off balls, and as the foul strike rule wasn’t In force In his play
ing day-, he devoted his attention to raiding hen roosts. Hughey says that
mm day Met;raw fouled off 14 bails In a time at bat and then drew a walk
Keeler batted further down the list and found all sorts of opportunity to
xvork the hit and run. In working this play he became supreme among
place hilt. r« Hut Jennings is positive that McOraw would have been even
greater had no* he also possessed his lead-off talent.
McOraw still can hit thnt hall. He gets disgusted with his team every
"n ", r : ‘ n / 1 " N ' ps so lhe to ‘he boys how it should be
done. He iihott-1 them, too.
( obb a Place Hitter
THKRi: h.iy a been ninny arguments over whether or not Cobb is n
genuine place hitter. The ayes, have It. Hilly Sullivan says that
the great, mi ihing about Cobh is his ability to keep his eve'on the
'' Hll ,nd ‘bo * ! ‘me time note the sudden shifting of position bv
opposing players and then slapping the ball through the vacated hole.

Famous Trainers Make Big Ma* :
jority of Entries In Early
('losing Races
The Cleveland entry shows that*
as for many years past, the early
closing events of the Grand Circuit
are supported by some half dozen
or less trainers this season, Walter
Cox. Tom Murphy, Ed. Geers, Laa

nishing a major portion of tha
horses.
Peter Mac, the speed sensation of

cause of some missing names on tho
Cleveland entry, as The Eno. Sprt#-

There are around 40
olds entered in the' two events, but
the open race has lean than 10 of

nearly a score.
The Cleveland list suggests a

Cox has Billy Dale and Young Todd
