The Hartford Times gives the following advice to their professional team: “Do not attempt to bat down a certain spear of grass, or to run on ‘one of Dicky Pearce’s baby hits.’ Bat the ball. Strike at it. Knock it somewhere, and word for it, your batting will stand higher, and the chances for the championship will be greatly enhanced.
