A perusal of the major league bat- ting records would make it seem so. Left handers have been far more fre- quent tn winning the batting cham- pionships, ¥or years the right hander had been in the eclipse as batting champion Only in the last four ycars has the left hander been pushed into the back- ground. . Larry Lajole, a right hander, won the American league championship in 1905, Since that time Harry Heilmann is the only right hander to break into the championship spotlight. v . Ty Cobb, famed star of the Detroit Tygers, has accounted for an even dozen winnings. He showed the way for nine consecutive years, 1907 to 1916, Then after losing out to Tris Speaker, won three more in a row. Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals started the comeback of the right handers in the National league. He took down the honors in 1919 and has turned the trick four times in a row. In winning the National league bat- ting champlonship for fQur consecu- tive years, Hornsby ties the National league record held by Hans Wagner, 4. Inspired by the work of Hornsby Harry Heilmann, noted slugger of th Detroit Tygers, has won two out of the last three swat titles in the Amer- jean league. . Why has the left hander been far * more consistent than the right hander in taking down the big league batting honors? i . Walter Johnson, famous pitcher of the Washington Nationals, once gave me a pretty good reason for the ap- parent superiority of the left hander as a champion. ““The left hander as a rule plays mére Paseball at the plate,” says Johnsen, “he makes pitching a tough- er job, *The left-handed litters scem to walt you out more, have & penchant| for picking on the cripple, mix up thelr style, seck to outguess you. “In addition, a majority of them are fast and try to take advantage of their #tep pearer first because of their po- sition in the batter's box.” ole o ¥ias the lively ball played a part in the revival of the right hander as a batting champion? Piteher Urban Shocker of the 8t Louis Browns soems to think so. His views bear out Johuson's theory only with the reverse English. 4 **The lively ball has done away with much of fhe strategy at the piste,” says the Browas' star. “A ma- jority of the batters are up there wwinging. The player who tries to bunt, drag, or place his hit, is the ex< ception, “The rabbit ball also has some of the premium oft speed. In goneral it has worked to ,the ad- vamtage of the right hander more than $he left hander. “Hornsby and IHeilmann are great ®atsmen. Nelther is a speed merchant The base hits they make are scldon of the seratch varicty. They are real champions.” DELANEY VERSUS ROBINSON Bridgeport Bover to Clash With Col ed Battler “ taken in Boston Tomorrow E\;nlnz. ck Delaney ar- completa hi Poston, April 8 - rived in town today t training for his fight Gee Robinson at Mechanics build Thursday night.

There was considerable scoring in the carly part of the battle and frequent base hits, and in the fourth inning a base on balls to Groh, doubles by Young and Kelly and a prosaic single by Meusel gave the Giants three run But the scoreboard boy missed his count and displayed four runs for the National leaguers. The Giants had a big lead at the time and appeared to have the game the old bat bag, as they say now and then, But the White Sox batted* Watson freely and finally succeeded in tying the score by scoring four runs in the eighth inning, The mistake on the score board waswaot corrected, and when the Sox came to bat for the ninth, Bib Falk batted for Connally.
