This is the last of the seven articles contributed by a, base- ball enthusiast keen on the, im provement of the game in Hong- kong.
The importance of the outfield position is very evident. The ability to handle hit balls (both flies and grounders) determines to a large extent the number of runs scored by the opponents.

So, the theory' that moving and still-ball games are far apart finds no foundation in the mobility or otherwise of the ball one hits, but in the differences that lie in the
methods of wielding the rackets, clubs or what have you for the respective games.
