[Nationals of Washington at Capitals of Columbus 7/13/1867] We noticed...that the Capital players, in batting, held their bats in front of them before they struck, a style of play which necessitates a double swing with the bat, backward and forward, thereby rendering the aim difficult. The proper way is to half shoulder the bat, bringing it down to meet the ball, especially for swift pitching.
