HITTERS USE BIG
AND LITTLE BATS
Physiques of Ball Players Belied
by Size of Clubs
Wielded
WEE OAKES SWINGS BEAM
Bresnahan, Big Man, Makes Long
Drives with Lightest of
Wagon Tongues
PITTSBURG, Pa., April 16.— Baseball
players' bats differ In size and shape
as much as the players do In physique.
And the strange part of it 13 that many
of the big fellows use a small, well
shaped war club, and a couple of the
"rabbits" wield something resembling
a w»gon tongue. An Instance or this
li the wood pile that "Rebel" Oakes, a
former Cincinnati star, but now with
the Cardinals, uses. A man can scarce
ly imagine such a little fellow swinging
so large and heavy a. bat as I lakes
(loos. The opposite Bide of til" caße Is
represented by BresnaHari, who, while
large in stature, hits with a reasonably
small club. , ''• ■"'-'
After a glance at the Hans Wagner
bat ono would think that the Flying
Dutchman might Just as well go and
pull up a young but promising tree and
use that to destroy the hopes of young
and old pitchers alike. No balance to
ii, large and heavy nil over, the aver
age man could hardly swing It. It
takes a person of immense strength to
use It properly, and Hans Is that.
Being so heavy, the great batsman can
meet the ball either on the handle or
the very end and make a hit, where
another player would put up a pop
fly or weak grounder.
mitciikm. m hmim;i:on ,
Mike Mitchell, the hard-hittlngr right
fielder of the Cincinnati Reds, uses a
rather largo stick. The body has plenty
of wood and weighs forty-five ounces.
The bat in Itself is enough to strike
terror into the heart of a pitcher. Bgan
handles a so-called bat' that Is lighter
than Mitchell's, tipping the scales at
forty ounces. Hoblitzel and Lobert use
practically the same sort of bludgeon.
The bat Is shorter than most and ex
ceedingly well balanced.
It Is popularly supposed that all biff
league stars have their bats balanced
perfectly, but that Is wrong. The clubs
used by "Wagner and Oakes have no 1
more balance than a load Of hay. But
with Hoblitzel It Is different. Richard
orders his bats by the dozen, and has
them kept over the winter In oil.
Harry Davis uses about the prettiest
bat of all. It Is long Shafted, small at
the handle, but a trifle topheavy.
Davis does not givo himself much space
to hit the ball with, however, as the
bat Is small at the end In diameter.
He must be accurate in his swing to
make a hit, but that is where Harry
shines; and the heavy end, when It
meets the ball squarely, drives it a
mile.
KJ:i:i.l'.ll"S BAT TOOTIETICK
"Wee Willie" Kceler uses a bat that
(lakes would take for a toothpick. Not
much longer than a rolling pin, c.x
ceedingly light find with a driving
power, that is, tho wood, at the and,
with all its shortness Keeler grasps It
about in the middle, giving himself
about fourteen Inches to meet the
pellet. Correct timing and accurate
■winging are Krcler's standbys when
at the plate. Everyone knows that a
more scientific hitter never lived.
Frank Chance's bat II a crude In
strument of torture to pitchers. Some
what like Oaken', but nil quite so rude,
it is heavy everywhere and large every
where. The handle Is very large, but
the Cub leader baa large hands.
"Cy" Seymour has the smallest hands
of any man playing In either of tha
big leagues, and his fingers do not
close around the stick.

OCEAN PARK, April lfi.—City au

Q. Im Anderson, in testing- the system
last night, found the circuit open, and
the city was without automatic fire

There is considerable mystery con

that ho has made a deal with Hilly

grab the middleweight championship
crown, and to keep it, and that he has
picked Ryan as the beat bet in ac

Papke feels that ityan Is one of the

that being near Papke's size, he can
give the latter the fin«;r points of the

Ryan's friends quoted him this after

"I can make Papke defeat Ketehel;

sired to entor his men not only for the
mile championship, but that ho would
also have a two-mile team, The Il
linois track team won the champion
ship of th" conference colleges last
year. In Rohrer ami Frcelund, IllinoiH
has two very Rood men, and with these
as a nucleus <;iii can be counted on
to make a good showing in the two
mile event, Last year Illinois was
third In the one-mile relay champion
ship, but later thi.s same team beat
Chlcagpi tlio champions, at tho re-
lays.
The two-mile pace should be very in
ten ting, with, Illinois, Yale, Princeton,
Pennsylvania and Missouri entered.
Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania
have good tin ins and the western pair
will have to travel very fast to win.
v He practically won the indoor two
mile championship, doing 7 minutes, r.ii
seconds, an average of 1 minute, 59
> .is for the half mile. Yale won
this event ia<t year, so the blue i" apt
to be the favorite for the event. There
are 195 teams in the class events, while
with six entries in the one-mile cham
pionship, five In the two-mile, live in
the Cour-mlle, six in each of the high
and preparatory school championship
races and two in the freshman event,
the total of teams is raised to 3M,
According to reports from the vari
ous college campuses, the varsity track
teams are rounding into form and sev
eral athletes are making good early
; eai on record*.
Tilley of Dartmouth is throwing the
hammer over IGO feet in practice. He
will give Talbott, formerly of Cornel],
but now at state college, a hard rub
in this event. Cooney of Yale is also
■aid to be making a very good showing
In the weights.
Towar of Michigan recently beat 4
minutes 2S seconds on Michigan's in
door track. This has so encouraged
the Wolverines that they are now con
fident that they will win back the
four-mile college relay championship
thai they lost to Pennsylvania last
year. But Cornell and Pennsylvania
will have something to say about this,
as each has a very good team.
I'< nnsylvania sshould figure more
prominently than ever before in this
year's relays. Murphy haa a team in
each of the championships and in the
freshman relay, and each team lias a
good fighting chance for victory. What
in.ire could the Pennsylvania students
want? Leave it to Mike.
II , leered 11 feet fi inches the oth
er .lay in the pole vault. He looks
to bo the best of the men this year at
Pennsylvania, though Parker and
Blakely are both vaulting in good
form.
Holdman of Dartmouth will be her*
for the vault. He did 11 feet 8 inches
on Monday In a trial, and Harry Hill
man, Dartmouth's new coach, rxpeets
him to beat twelve feet on the 30th on
Franklin field.
The preparatory schools tako more
interest in the Pennsylvania frame
than in any other meet of the season.
Tt five* the youngsters a chance to
compete under the eyes of rarae of the
best athletes in the college.

A Fit Guaranteed
Here's one way to get a fit—
pleasantest Kind of a fit to have
and we'll guarantee that you'll
have one should the Rocke
feller Institute notify you that
it had decided to help human- ,
ity by endowing you with
$1,000,000,000.
...
That kind of a fit is an impossibility
for us to produce, but you can bet your
last dollar that all B. & K. System made
to-order garments fit. WE GUARAN
TEE YOU A FIT OR MONEY BACK.
What could be fairer? And our prices
fit a lean purse or a fat purse. Excep
tional values in business suits at $20,
$30 and $40, and what's more, every
bolt of goods in our three stores is
marked in plain figures. There's no
more guesswork about the value than
the fit. The marked-in-plain-figures
system guarantees that you are not pay
ing an exorbitant price but getting the
same honest value that every one else
receives.
And these are only two of the rea
sons why MEN WHO KNOW patronize
our stores instead of near-tailors who
make such transparent claims as buying
out whole factories, putting the contents
in two-by-twice 6hops and offering so
called $60 suits for $15.

A PRODIGY
"So you think your boy is a prodigy?
But every man thinks his own son is
the most wonderful being that ever
breathed."
"I tell you this youngster is remark
able, no matter how you may sneer.
I've seen him do a thing that I don't
suppose any other boy of his age could
possibly do."
"What's his specialty? Mathe
matics?"
"Mathematics? I should Bay not.
He hasn't any more of a head for
figures than I have, and learning the
multiplication table was the hardest
work I ever did in my life."
"In what branch of science docs lip
seem to be particularly interestedV"
"He isn't interested in science at all;
but the other day a friend of mine who
has a big automobile left the machine
standing in front of my house for
more than half an hour, and, although
the boy was playing around outside all
the time, he did not once climb Into tho
automobile or even toot the horn." —

MANY PERSONS ATTEND
KITE FLYING TOURNEY
pax ri:i>i;i>, April 18.—Over a thou
sand persons attended the flr«1 annual
kite dying tournament at Point Flrmln
this afternoon. Included in the crowd
were three cars of boys from LM
Angeles, who arrived tins morning.
jiiss Lavete Crump, sioyd teacher
in the local schools, had charge of the
arrangements, under the direction of
('. W. Miller, director of manual train
ing. Diplomas were presented by Dr.
Grant Karr, The tournament was held
on the fortification site recently pur
chased by the government. This makes
an ideal site fur kite flying: on account
of the afternoon trade, -winds.
For original designs the heathen
Chinese boys would not have been in
it in competition with the American
boys today. There were tailless kites,
star kites, bird kites, compound kites,
tandem kites, monoplanes, biplane*,
parachutes and dirigible kite?.
The recent aviation meet furnished
many ideas. There were many entries
in the aeroplane classes. Kach aviator
was permitted to use 150 feet of string
and run 100 feet. Then he gave a slack
line and allowed the kite to glide, the
longest slide winning.
There was also much interest In the
draught kites competing for the strong
est pull, as well as (he little tailless
kites flown on 100 feel of thread.
HE MERELY WANTED TO KNOW
"Here," said the girl's father, who
had como downstairs after the clock
had struck 13, "ain't you goin' pretty
soon?"
••I— x was just getting ready to
start." the young man replied
"Ail right, r thought mebby you
might have begun a marathon oourtln"
contest! and i won't allow anythta
that kiiul in my house, with ell
light fustiii' what it does and no high*
low burner in tho parlor."
