HITTING | | By Billy Evans Which is the harder ball to hit, a gessed by Walter Johnson, or a golf ball resting silent!y on a mound of | sand? If you asked such a question of Rogers Hornsby, George Sisler, Ty Cobb or any other great hitters, they would undoubtedly reply that the hit- was a much more difficult with Walter distance feat than connecting Johnson's fast one. If you put such a query to Gene Sarazen, Mike Brady, Walter Hagen, Jock Hutchison or any of the other great golfers, they would be certain soft in comparison to solving Walter Johnson's delivery. No doubt that is the way it seems to the experts in baseball and golf. But after all is said and done it is the things at which you are expert that are easy to do. Swings Are Different. The golf swing and baseball swing are entirely different.. In baseball much more depends on the body piv- ot than in golf.
