The . hardest hitters In baseball the fellows who connect with the old pill and. drive It the farthest the real fence busters, prove that the laws of physics work out In baseball just as they do In a scientific labora tory. These sluggers, almost to a unit, are tall men with long arms and most of them use long bats. And the long hits result from the- great leverage they get which cannot be attained by the player with short arms or the player Who "chokes" tip on his bat and pokes the ball. The longest hitter Is not necessarily the leading batter, and at the present time It Is remarkable that the most powerful hitters in the two big leagues are not even in the .300 class. Walter Plpp was generally credited the heaviest hitter in the American League last year. He batted only .262, but he led the league in home runs and made many triples a,nd doubles. All of his drives were long and crash ed to the outfield with remarkable speed and force. There may be many fans who ques tion Pipp's right to be considered the heaviest swatter in the league. I put the question up to Billy Evans, a great judge of batting, who told me he con sidered Pipp superior to either Sam Above, litiderus and Plpp, heaviest bitten of H16. Below, Etf. Delehanty, great batter of the old days. Crawford or Joe Jackson on long drives. Pipp is a tall, long-armed man. He uses a 42-inch bat, the longest per mitted by baseball rules, and when he meets the ball with, a free swing there is a tremendous leverage behind the sphere. Crawford and Jackson are both long-actned. Both meet the ball with free swings aad get the advantage of leverage, . In the National League the hardest hitter perhaps is Fred Luderus, of the Philadelphia Club, a .289 batter last year, whose great reach, aided by the length of his war club, gives him tre mendous hitting power. Heine- Zimmerman, who uses a much lighter bat, and Cy Williams, of Chicago, are also terrific hitters. Both are long-armed and use long bats. The leverage principle has always applied In baseball. Perhaps the hardest hitter of all times was Ed Delehanty, whose death 14 years ago ended one of the most remarkable careers In baseball, . Delehanty was a free, hard hitter, whose consistency with the club made him one of the most feared men to pitchers and outfielders. His average of .366 for 12 years is one of the most remarkable In the major leagues. Delehanty lacked an inch of being 6 feet tall, but he had remarkable long arms and used a long bat ; niTrfiiirriiiTr fsifni-f satuhday eve:::::g North Charlotte and , C. H. S. Winners In Y. M. C. A.
