Batten find considerable difficulty in solving his slants. a It is very seldom that Tommy Shannon In heard to talk haclt on tho bull field, but Perlnian got the Uttle fellow's nanny Thursday and a lively argument ensued for a while. ooo Danny McLennan says: Ain't It a grand and feeling That sends your heart and head a reeling When, with two mm on and two men out, The batter conies throtiith with a timely clout, ooo Transconas are In a fairly irood position to start the third round, but There's many a fall for one and all At Wesley Park, w'trrn thry piny baseball, ooo "Babe" Ruth Is Juat two months ahead of his last year's home run record.

ooo This seems like a reatonable explanation. Red Paber ha offered the presence of clean, white balls as the renon for the batters getting their tyes on the apple better this season than before. 0 0 0 All these explanations may have a hnrd In the business, llowaver, the fan does not worry about the why. Jin loves to see the bull hit. especially when there's runner or two or three on the bugs.

Thai's the kind of baseball he likes to see and the renon for the hitting Is of lexa Importance than the fact that hitting Is freer and harder than for many years. I 0 0 0 THE FAN 8AY3: I de not care to question why The ball Is hit so far and high; I love to find some sunny spot, I do not worry if it's hot, And there I sit and have thrill Each time plsyer hits tho pill, i I like to see the home turn lag Then In the eighth fill every bsg. With bssos choked and two men out Some slugger get home run clout; A throo-hoao swat I love to see Bounce off the well known hickory, Two-baggers, too, delight my eyes And singles I do not dospise. Baseball to me is never dull Provided hits are plentiful. Thst's why I never Question why The sphsre is hit so fsr and high, I simply sit and have a thrill Each time some athlste swats the pill.
