In the May number of the Captain, Mr. C. B. F ry has some useful hints to boys on the choosing of bats. We ex­ tract the follow ing from his article :— b a l a n c e : h o w to g a u g e it . Balance is really, after size, the most important point in a bat. It is a curious fact that a nicely-balanced bat, whatever the look of the wood, usually turns out well. So I strongly counsel you to take trouble over the balance of every bat you purchase. But the worst of it is, balance is a quality very difficult to describe. When you pick up a bat b y itself you may nDt perhaps be able to make up your mind whether it is well or badly balanced; so you ought to start by selecting, say, half-a-dozen of the right size and wood, and then try them in your hands one after another till you discover one that, as it is called, “ comes up ” better than the others. To arrive at this result, you should test each bat th u s:—Take block with it on the floor and stand just as you would in a match, ready to receive the b a ll; then lift the point of the bat backwards with your wrists, and make an imaginary stroke or tw o till you gaiu the “ feel ” of the bat. Perhaps an imaginary cut or two best serves the purpose. Y ou w ill soon find out which of the bats comes up lightest from the ground and feels most handy to use. The knack of judging the balance of bats can be cultivated by frequent practice on thos9 belonging to your friends. But you must not follow the example of the man in the story who used to pick a bat from a friend’s bag with a “ B y Jove, what a beautifully balanced one ! ” and then casually drop the article into his own bag. w e ig h t : a t ic k l is h q u e s t io n . A very common question is, “ What weight should m y bat b e ? ” To which there is no really satisfactory answer. F or a full-size bat 21b. 4oz. is about the best standard weight. It is very difficult to get a good full-size bat lighter than
