The Seaforth News, 1961-05-04, Page 7ll'assiol Reveals BafitLnj Sect'ets Stan Musial was sitting in the shade Of the Cardinal dugout, Rad naturally it wasp't long be - Pere the conversation get around to hitting, "The only time I ever had soy real trouble was in the spring," began the great St. Louis vet- eran, whose 3,294 base hits are World only to Rogers Hornsby in the National League. "I'd feel strong and think about hitting home runs and I'd get fouled up. "I'd be thinking my body gen- erated the power and Pd start lunging. But you get your pourer With your wrists, If your bat is still back when you take your step, you'll seep wood into any pitch." A fellow suggested that the Cardinal star Was seldom fouled on a curve ball. "Well," be continued, "when I first came up I really could hit The fast ball. I mean, nobody could throw it by me, So they started curving me. Then, when I learned to hit the curve, those pitcherswere in trouble." Muscat's listeners laughed with him for a moment, but then the veteran suddenly got serious again. "However, it isn't as easy as that," he went on, "It used to be you'd see the fast ball, the ,curve, and the change of pace. Now they have the pesky slider. If you don't watch out, it can get you all fouled up. It's an optical illusion. You swing and it isn't there; and it's always hitting you on the fists. "If I was a young hitter just starting out, I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd get a big bat with a thick handle and I'd choke it, and maybe I'd handle a few of those sliders." But they all want home runs; they all swing for the long ball, dcwn around the end of the bat. "Sure," Musial said. "Well, I had to change. When I first got started inthis league, duridg the ,• early years, I just tried for base bits. I used to talk to myself up there at the plate. I'd say to my- self, over and over again: 'Get the fat of the bat on the ball and bit the Iine drive.' I figured that if I got good wood on the bail, • it would drop in there some- where." Stan laughed again. "But then everybody started going for the home runs and I had to change, too. That's where the money was." Toe Gasagiola, the one -tune Cardinal catcher turned radio 'sportscaster, broke in with: "Af- ter I'd been traded to Pittsburgh and would catch behind Stan, I got so I could telt when he was going to give the ball a ride. I'd see the ball coming, right down his groove and I'd almost want to turn my head sway, so I couldn't see what he was going to do to it," "I trained myself early," Mu- sial continued. "I developed a scone of vision about eight feet out in front of the plate arid I knew just how hard every pit- cher could throw. So I'd follow the ball until it reached that sone. Then, if it kept coming, I got 't'he fast ball flash. It it hesitated, I'd say to myself: 'Curve.' "But' as I said before, now they're throwing that slider and it isn't as easy as it used to be." am - REEL SOLDIER -- Jacques Cher - Hee, former husband, of actress Brigitte B'ardot, fudged out of the French army, but he's in uniform again — for the movie cameras. He's 'shown on loco= tion in Milan, Italy, where he plays o memher of a fascist unit during World. War II in • the film "Pigeon Shooting." Was it true that he could see , the ball eoniilvg off the bat? asked Ed Rtunili •of the Chris- tian Science Monitor. "Oh, yes," replied the man whose 5,596 total' bases and 675 doubles, are NL records, "The outside pitch, which I hit into left field, is right in my line of vision and I can see it come off • the bat. Picking up other pit,:he's is tougher, because they're not in the line of vision," "But getting back to the home run, I think a young player has to make up his mind in the. be- -ginning. If he isn'tbuilt for pow- er — if he doesn't have the leverage and the strength to reach the fences — if he doesn't have the tools, he's writing his release by swinging down at the end of the bat. "A young hitter should first concentrate on getting one hit every four times up. Then he should think about two for four and three for four. "In 1947 I'd hit 19 home runs," Stan said. "The next year :-I jumped to 39. So in the spring of '49 I couldn't wait to swing that bat for the fence.. I was going to break Babe Ruth's re- cord. But about the first of July, when I had only a dozed homers, I got smart and went back to hitting straight-away =- and fin- ished with 36 homers. • "I've changed my stance a lit- tle from time to time." "flow could anyone tell?' put in Garagiola. "You always .lock ail wrong with that coil spring stance of yours." Stan smiled. 'Yes," he said, "I opened up lily stance one year and nobody even noticed it." "I don't know," the Wise- cracking Garagiola went on. "I don't think Stan ever • got much furl out of playing. My big thrill was to walk 'over to the -lineup card on a dugout post and see my name was written in. There was nothing quite like it,, But Stan: well, he: never had to look. He knew it was there, He doesn't know it, but he missed a lot" i IDE STORY '-- Sure enough, as suspected, those scary apes vWhidh appear on TV xhows Ore usually only human after all.

In their capacity as guest jun- tor scientific aides to the United States Army Corps of Engineers research city, Camp Centuey, Greenland, they reported they learned how to: Find water — by boring into the thick ice with huge steam drills. The water being melted in subterranean caves that way was found purer than distilled water; the ice, from which it is made has laid one::posed for centuries. Blaze trails across the ice — with parallel wires, buried in the snow, which brcadcast si':rais thate keep surface vehicles on course even when Arctic fog or wind -driven snow cuts visibility to zero. Build "fifes" — by learning how to operate the master con- trol of a portable atomic reactor which saves the need for hauling in huge quantities of diesel fuel for heat end= power. Build shelters — by excavat- ing huge",trenches (with special tractors) similar to the way run- dern coal mines are dug. Inside the trenches complete barracks are erected and afterward the trenches are covered with corru- gated metal toots and the snow is blown back on with machines. Find ways to store gasoline,. machinery, and other suzettes in unlined ice reservoirs. Gas can be pumped into " the ice caverns without losing its qual- ity. Tools' can be stored without rusting. There was at least one touch of the old Scout life, though. The boys built an igloo, cut- ting the ice slabs "with mach- etes" They slept in it one night when the temperature was 64 'below zero outside, 30 inside, writes Frederick W..Roevekan'ap in the Ohristian,Science Monitor. "We took off our Arctic wear and went into double .sleeping bags, in our underwear," said -Kent. "We slept all right." Nor was this all just a Scout experience, however modern, Both boys are interested in natural science and technology. Kent "probably" wants to be- come •an engineer, Soren, a tat - clear physicist, "I was pretty ,Sure of that be- fore I left for Greenland," he said. "Now I .am sure." This, summer, Kent .plans to return to Greenland to work as a scientific assistant. Was it be- cause he liked to so much? "Yeas, and because of the money, 'you )know," Kent said. Assistants get $650, practically all of- which they can save. "I' like the money, too," said Soren. "I am trying to get back there, myself."
