ORDINARY BATSMAN FEARED IN PINCHES He's Apt to Hit Ball at Un- expected Moment (By Billy Evans) Batters are divided into three clas es according to no less an authority !than the eminent Hugh Jennings of the New York Gia Well do T recall a conversation I had with Hughey on this point when he was managing the Detroit Tygers. The day previous the Tygers had Been beaten by timely hitgn the part of a player D Was lucky to finiah the on hatting around . . He was just an ordinary batter who came through in the pinch. The diseussion over the defeat caused Jennings to make this remark. “There are three kinds of batters. The good hitter who is always danger | out. The good hitter who invariably acks the punch to come through in a pineh. The ordinary hitter, who has the habit of doing his best work in the crisis.” ¢ b Asked to further explain his theories on batting, Jennings con tinued. “There are certain great bat- ters, players like Cobb, for instance, who are always dangerous. They hit ‘em safe a majority of times, whether the bases are empty or choked. No situation bothers them in the least. Then there is the good hitter, who comes through with nothing at stake but who lacks the punch in pinch. | Tast, but not the least, is the ordinary batsman who is his best when a timely hit means some thing, T can name a dozen players who are more to be feared at the plate in a pineh than many players win have an aver- age that is 50 points hetter Conrs the ¢ batsman, wl ing through th the part of faculty o, pinch, plus the lessness on the the pite who holds said { batsman lightly, is the answer, ac- cording to Jennings inary com- there bhall batsman who Tt gives the punch that ot! way with a de- the s dangerc have o much the American ning ex- Gerber verett sel opinion of Jennings, is no more valuabic player on a elub than the ordinary is dangerous in a pineh elub an unusual batting ecan be acquired in Often som« player crepit batting averag pitcher to pass up a batsman who happens t fatter percentage In league T can point out two s amples of this truth, Walter of the 8t Louis Browns and ott of the New York Yankeos, dom does this pair break into the but bhoys, when a hase hit is needed in the old pinch, there are few tougher birds to than Gerber or Scott.
