When asked about those shadows, seven other Cubby-bearers merely replied, ‘“Tee hee.” Eddie Mulligan joyfully guff- awed, “Haw haw.” It is presumed a Mulligan would rather be guffawing “Haw haws” than giggling “Tee hees.” This' might be a good place break in and say that the Cubs won their maiden 1916 victory from the Giants on the Harlem Green yester- day, and truly the Windy City Tinks made a swell job of it.

Hans Wagner, a right-hander, led , the National league¢ at bat in 1911 Heinle Zimmerman, another right- hander, followed Honus in 1912. But| no right-hander has reached the top ¢ the National league list since. In 1913 and 1914 Jake Daubert, winging from the off-side, led his circuit, and when Jacob slipped last year Larry Doyle and Fred Luderus, both left-handers, fought the - fight cut to a finish, with Doyle on the top. And for 1916 Daubert and Dovle have been leading most of the season, showing no change in the style that set in four years ago.

But the average left- bander at bat is undoubtedly weaker against southpaw pitching, and large- 1y for this reason— southpaw’s best curve breaks away from a left- handed batsman, a right- hander’s best curves break in toward him—and it is considerably easier to maul a curve ball coming in tov you that it is ta hit one brea away. it in the sixth.
