Text | While at Geo. Wright’s store, I was shown a new baseball bat. It is a rather expensive bat as regards first cost, as the price is $4; but, as it is alleged that it will last a season without breaking, it is cheap. It is made with a cane fitted through the whole length of the bat, which makes it proof against breaking from hitting a ball with it. And the cane imparts an elasticity to the bat, which is a great aid in batting. The bat weights a little over two pounds only. |
