Side Port Slugger Has Advantage fip Getting Away from Plate. “Don’t want him because he is a left handed hitter, and I have enough left handers on my club now. Could use a right hand hitter, but no more of the southpaws.” Such a complaint is com- mon among managers, major and minor allke. They fear to have on one club too many batsmen who swing from the off side of the plate, as such a team is usually regarded as a mark for the southpaw pitcher. A glance over the batting records of the past year would indicate that a club of left hand hitters might not be so bad after all. It has long been contended that the left hander gets more hits because he can get away from the plate better and has a shorter distance to run. Un- doubtedly therg is an advantage, and many a blow which meets a hit for a left hander results in the right hander missing the decision by a step. But why should the left handers show the way in long histance hitting, in drives which do not depend so much on that extra step at first base. There seems t0 be no answer to this problem in the slight advantage held by the left hander in rcaching first. It must be that this class can outslug the boys who bat from the other side of the plate. In the American league last season nine players who took part In 115 or more ‘games qualified as .300 hitters. Seven of the nine were left handed hitters. The squad of southpaw swat- ters was made up of Speaker, Cobb, Jackson, Strunk, Collins, Gardiner and Sisler. Veach and Felsch were the oniy representatives of the right hand hit- ters to win a place in ‘the select set. caagn gomey ) 162,859 excited fans OME CROWD!

That many Meccas are sold every three days. (4 Two others, Spencer and Rumler, qualified, but for limited activity, in less than 30 games. 'Now for the long distance hits. Wa ter Pipp led the American league in home runs, and his only real rivai was Frank Baker, the figures being 12 and 10, respectively. Both hit from the oft side of the plate. Joe Jackson led the league in triples with 21, and his closest rival was Eddie Collins, with 17. Both belong to the left hand di- vision in hitting. Speaker and Jack Graney, two more of the southpaw swingers, showed the way in doubles, each with 41. Only three players in the league passed the .200 mark in hits during the season. The trio was made up of Speaker, Cobb and Jackson, all of whom clutch the bat with the fork hand resting above the right. It might be added that they were the only double century _hitters in the major leagues, as no player in the National league reached the figure in safe hits. Besides the batsmen mentioned above, the American league has an- other flock of batsmen who swing_the same way and must be ldbeled as dan- gerous, even though they have not a place in the Swat soclety of 1916.
