This is Harry Wright's opinion of scientific or “place” hitting as given to Ferguson, of the Boston Herald:--”I think that scientific batting is a possibility to our players and so is heaven; but there is precious little hope of either at present. I have a theory that, as the weather grows warm and the boys have their hair cut short and fall off in their batting about the same time, there is a relation between the two of some kind. But what it is and what is the good of the information is beyond my ken. There may have been a period when I was regarded as a scientific batter myself, but there are few, if any, left to tell the tale.
