An image of Fred Luderus hands gripping his bat. This is one of a series of Charles M. Conlon closeup studies. Conlon’s handwritten notes on back state “The pose of the natural born hitter, he permits his fingers to rest lightly on the club, without strain, until he starts his swing.” Featured in McCabe’s “Golden Age” Conlon book.
