No. 15, The Long Follow Through. Experienced batters like Riggs Stephenson know the value of a long follow through, letting the bat sweep to the end of its natural are without smothering the swing.

Never cramp the arms close to the body when swinging...

A team, they say, is as strong as its reserves, and one of the reasons why Brooklyn finished third last year was young Johnny Hudson. Hudson, who plays either short, third or second, stepped in when called on and came through. He has been with Brooklyn, on and off, since 1936, and while not a house-on-fire with a bat, has always proved a dangerous man to whom to pitch. Last year, he drove in th...

Perhaps the best all-around performer in professional basketball, Elgin handles himself with the dexterity and maneuverability of a small man.

He has blistering speed, stamina, strength and tremendous spirit. It is difficult to say which is h...
