JOURNAL, LOGAN CITY, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH Dope On The Explanation of The j$SO?iSRBASEBALL Big Scrap Commerce Chamber M1ESTHE The Baseball and Sport Committee of the Chamber o! Commerce desires to advisa tht ipnijtixrthat the exhibition airplane flight by Rex Smith, avia , tor who was to have been hen for Thursday and Friday, was a feature of the annual conventiot of tn druggists of the state and was not arranged for in any wa by the Baseball Committee. After learing from the eommittes of the druggists that Smith would come here, the Basebal Committee agreed to furnish twelve passengers providing Smith would do some stunts over the baseball park just before the game. Other than that, the BaSe- - Copyi Ight, Collegians Rally in The Fifth and Score Seven .Counters Ambrose ' Is Ilit Hard By Locals Jacobs 'Pitches Good Ball. 4 In our last lesson we disputed tbe re- markable batting po- sition of Henry Heine Groh, a teali) great bitter and a vet difhoult man for a pitcher to deWe pie.-gceive. herewith a diagifem' of Grob's foot movements while in the act of bittjng.

Groits shilt Is very effective for him. Only two Oilier men, Lh ole and CarUsle Smith, have used similar mettuxls of stepping when attacking a pitched--bal- l. Groh first stands in the position A. B. He leads off whit his fright foot, B to C, then follows with his left foot A to I). Groh then takes a ahort third step with Itis right foot. C to E, then follows with his fourth, or hitting step, l to F. A complicated shift made 4n slow time and In continuous motion. It will bat. When the pitcher starts to deliver the ball Grob steps off with bis right foot tbe marked B had absolutely! exhibi-jpenti- tr position to that and fol- marked C lows with tbe 'left foot from the position marked A to that marked D. He then takes a third short step with his right foot this ttnie, C to E." Groh then takes his hitting atep D to BV This brings his forward shoulder and 'foot well into the line of the plate. When be finally does hit, the position of bis feet is much the same as that of all standard hitters differing only in that the feet point more directly towards the pitcher than ia usual. While Grohs final hitting position is that used by most players tbe manner on which he swings his bat never does conform to standard style. At all times be carries his bat over bis right shoulder. When he does hit, he does not hit with a level, horizontal Bat but with a bat that ia 45 degrees out of the horizontal. Grob ajso entirely disregards the backward motion for the Bwing. lie hits with a short chop" or push of his arms which begins In front of his body and ends a . ahort distance-.awa- y Groh does not follow through In the true sense of the word. How can a hitter who rejects all the usual theories and practice of. correct hitting hit so effectively as Groh?
