Text | He is one of the best of the new style of strategic batsmen, and he last season earned many a first base through outwitting the pitcher by his peculiar style of making a base-hit. It was noteworthy how Tom was favored in this respect by the crowd at the Union Grounds. Whenever he made one of his patent hits–he simply allowed the ball to hit the bat–the crowd would laugh and applaud him; while, if any other club player of the out-of-town nines attempted such a thing, they would hiss him. |
