LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26 (N.AN.A.).—Hornsby’s entry into base- * ball’s Hall of Fame brings up once more an ancient argument. W have been the greater hitters—the right-handers or those who | swing from the left side? The left-handed swingers offer you Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, George Sisler, Lou Gehrig, Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker and Ted Wil.llnl.'n.s for a starting line-up. This is quite a colection of talent to move against. The\ right-handers counter with Rogers Hornsby, Hans Wagner, Napoleon g . Lajoie, Ed Delahanty, Harry Heilmann and Joe Di Maggio—also a prellyl SCIYS Losmg Coach fair crop. The left-hander, being closer to first base, has more than a full| stride’s advantage. I'd say the left-handed hitting side had a slight edge, | 1; oo oo e robiak tactbatt] but nothing to rave about. For Hornsby, Wagner, Lajoie, Delahanty and | g;r:’:riix}l':e?o;cbx ;gursgamfi i Di Maggio also could lean against the leather. Don't forget that Hornsby averaged above .400 for four consecutive | 000 the last two seasons. years, taking in his average for that time, which is something. Only in Baseball Do Lefthand Hitters Star Baseball happens to be the one game in which the left-handed hitter | man university council to drop the takes a high place in any all-time ranking. In golf, no left-hander ever has won a big championship. No left- | late today. hander ever has won the United States open or the British open, the United States amateur or the British amateur crown. In fact, no left- hander even has come close to any major golf event. There have been good left-handed golfers. But no great ones—no Jones, Vardon, Hagen, Hogan or Nelson. The portside entries can play in the low 70s, they can break 70 here and there, but they are lost in major events. In golf there are no such left-handed stars as Cobb, Ruth, Jackson, Speaker and many others. Just why this is no scientist seems to know. If s0 many people can handle a baseball bat so effectively as left-handers, |y ."c v 001 that lists a total enroll- | why not golfers?

But the crushing preponderence is all on the other side—Bill Bill Johnston, Rene Lacoste, Ellsworth Vines, Don Budge, Maurice Mc- | 1 Tilden, Loughlin, Bill Larned, Fred Perry, Anthony ‘Wilding, Norris Williams, on through the present generation. The star right-handers in tennis out- number the star left-handers by 10 to 1. The same is true in polo. All great polo players have been right- handed swingers—Devereux Milburn, Tommy Hitchcock, Cecil Smith, Luls Lacey. I can't recall any left-handed polo players. Maybe there are none. In games where you pick up some form of a bat to hit the ball, base- | ball is the only sport that can show you a line of top-notch lefthanded | swingers. Scientists Will Have to Figure Out the Mystery There have been great left-handed pitchers—Waddell, Grove, Ruth, | | atdeast for the duration of the war. | Prof. Phillip O. Badger, chairman | of the N. Y. U.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—A fight eard in Paterson, N. J., this week will start at 1 am. It's a strictly private affair for workers at the ‘Wright Aviation plant, but a couple of pretty good boys, Johnny Yelavich and Danny Ro- sati, will meet in the main scrap. Boston papers are blasting at amateur hockey because there’s too much fighting and too little playing. Dick Seibert is one ball player who is annoyed because the Athletics are offering a bonus based on attendance instead of a raise. Says Dick: “It took me a long time to have a good season and now it looks as if I picked the wrong one.” The Iowa sports front has a goal of $15,000 with which 10 ambulances will be pur- chased for the Red Cross. They will be named after former Jowa athletes, such as Fred Becker, the ] ) University of Iowa tackle who was killed in France. Splitting with laughter—Eno Jolsen, Detroit bowler, really rolled a split the other night. He was trying to spill the 3. 6, 9 and 10 pins when his bowling ball split in two. Not a bit dismayed, Eno located another ball and grabbed the last laugh by count- ing games of 197 and 214—just 39 pins over his average.— . One-minute sports page—Red Cochrane, the welterweight champ, takes a night off from his Navy duties to referee on the “Bundles for Bluejackets” fight card at Newark tonight. With juicy offers to fight Ray Robinson and Charley Burley in front of him, Red probably wishes he could take time to collect a bundle for one bluejacket. Since Dr. Wilbur C. Smith of Tulane became a member of the N. C. A. A.

Charley Gehringer and Scout Wish Egan of the Detroit Tigers are making a survey for the Michigan Army and Navy Recreation League to learn how much atheltic and recreation equipment is needed for the Army and Navy posts in that State. If you wonder just how good a basket ball squad they have at the Jacksonville (Fla.) Naval Air Station, such guys as Gustafson of Penn and Mann of Purdue are on the “D” team, which is just about equal to the “A.” Sailor Bill Posedel of the Boston Braves is figuring on go- ing back to the Navy before the draft can get him.
