How fast is a camera Bhutter? You can get an idea by observing these two remarkable bits of action. On ths left. OeorgR Burns, hitting first baseman of the Cleveland Indians, Js connecting with a fast one that came across the plate right to his liking. Burns uncorked one or his hefty wallops, sending the pellet on a lino to left center for a double. Tho ball can be seeu just after it left Burns' bat.

Above, Al Simmons, mighty clouting monarch of the Philadelphia Athletics, takes a healthy "cut'' for tho third strike. Al swung a little too soon, tho ball still being ible in front of the plate. Oddly enough. Burns mid Simmons both use unorthodox s'yles at tho bat. Burns "hues" tho plate, standing with both feet close together.

Simmons pulls away from the rubber whon he swings, a stunt very much against, the accepted methods of batting. It. is for this reason Simmons is called "Foot-in- tho-buckrt Al." Both pictures are rare pieces ot sport photography and w-'ro snapped by Louis Van Oeyan. NBA Service cameraman, during a recent gamo between Indians and Athletics at Cleveland.
