BATTING FAME IN A SEASON

Joe Connolly of the Boston Braves, on His 1914 Showing, Has Brilliant Future Before Him. Connolly, the Boston slugger, is a newcomer in the ranks of batting stars, but from his work during the past season and so far this year, it looks as if he will continue to be among those present for many sear

sons to come. He’s just a kid, in years and experience, and should have many seasons of usefulness before him. Connolly has a free and easy swing that is carried along by a pair of powerful shoulders. He has a fine eye and times his swing with perfection. His drives are hard and on a line, with nothing flukey about them.
