Text | Anson of the Chicago Club is using a bat made of several separate pieces of ash, jointed and glued together lengthwise, while in the center is inserted a rattan rod about one inch square and composed of twelve strips of rattan firmly glued together, running from end to end of the bat. The handle is wound with linen cord. He thinks the additional spring obtained will send the ball father. This wrapping of the handle, however, is technically a violation of the rule, which requires the bat to be made “wholly of wood,” but it is a rule which nobody will object to changing if the wound handle proves to be an improvement.
