Bentley Improves J Batting by Change t Said Jack Bentley when men- f tion was made of the similarity ' of his batting position to Ruth : t "I used to take the long, hard cut at the ball Ruth takes, but t found myself stepping out too J much. You have to take that ' i kind of a swing to hit them as J far as Ruth does, but I found J t out that If I wanted to strike out less and make more base hits I'd J have to tighten up and I did. It ' J seemed to me that by making the , change I was playing more for t the ball club." '
