2—S SOUTHPAWS GET JUST DUES Sidewinders Regarded as an Espe- cially Valuable Asset in the American League. ARE POWERS AS HITTERS New York, May 27.—It true, as Chief Meyers once remarked to Fred Tenncy, that all left-handers are queer, only some are queerer than others, But in spite of their inher- ited handicap the sidewinders coming into their own in base ball. They are becoming a mighty power and in the American league especially they are about as valuable a pitching asset as a club can boast of, When Manager Bill Donovan, in cutting down his ciub to the player limit the other day, kept Slim Love, the towering southpaw, in preference to two promising right-handers he further emphasized the importance of the left-hander. That selection gave him three left- handed pitchers in Love, Cullop and Mogridge. There are those who claim that three southpaws are too many for any club, In the National league and other circuits tnat may be true, but it does not apply to the Johnson league. “If 1 were a manager in the Ameri- can league,” said a veteran ball player the other day, who is himself a left- hand hitter and knows from experi- ence what he is talking about, “I would carry a pitching staff top heavy with left-handers. With prac- tically all of the great hitters in the league left-handers, I thing that left- hand pitching would win more games in the long run than right-handed pitching and I venture to say that some of the batting averages would come down sharply as the result, Many Southpaw Slugger “Take all the great hitters in the American leggue and almost without exception they are left-handed bLat- ter: There are Cobb, Crawford, Eddie Collins, Baker, Fournier, Jack- son and Pipp, just to mention a few who stand out as the most dangerous sluggers in the circuit. Now, it is my contention, and my experience, that it takes left-handed pitching to stop left-handed hitting. “I claim that you can beat any club in the American league with lfi’c ex- ception of Washington, more con- sistently with left-handers than with right-handers. Washington is the only club that hw no really dangerous left- handers, hat they call the dyna- mite in the batting order of most of may be are the other clubs is composed of left-| ol handed hitters. “Take Detroit as a starter, because they have the best hitting club in the league. Cobb, Crawford and Veach are the hitters, and they are all left- handers. They either score or drive in more runs than the rest of the club put together. If you can stop Cobb, Crawford and Veach you have De- troit stopped dead in 1{!- tracks, for the rest of -the, clubis hardly up to the average. “The White Sox batting order is much the same. The real power is centered in Eddie Collins, Fournier and Jackson, hitting third, fourth and fifth, and all swin ing from the off side of the plate, nr time they are not hitting Chicago is not winning. ere was a good instance of that when Mogridge beat Chicago a few days ago. He struck out Collins three times, Fournier once and Jackson failed to get a hit. Effective Against Yankees. “The Yankees are in much the same boat as the others. Left-handers are more_effective against them. Baker and Pipp are the dangerous hitters. They are the only ones that really make the opposing pitchers nervous, And the result is that the Yanks have faced left-handers in every series. The other manafers are playing to their weakness. 1f they had faced right- handers all this season, they would prphably be leading the league now. “The Yankees showed what they could do with left-handers against Boston and Philadelphia and St Louis, while not as strong-hitting clubs” as the others, can be best handled with the southpaws. Shot- ton and Sisler are the bad men in the Browns, and Strunk and McInniss are trouble makers with the Ath- letics. Any time Strunk gets on the bases the Mackmen are apt to score, for he worries a pitcher, “The, Cobb, Speaker or Baker will hit as well against one kind of pitching as another. I don't mean to say that ‘ou can make poor hitters of them y pitching left-handers against them. But to say that no left-handed hitter likes a southpaw better than a nnhl-hunger. They can't hit that curve going away from them like they can hit the one that breaks in for them. And that is the answer, If the great hitters in the league hap- pened to be right-handers the south- pays would not be of much value.” hat this |hco? is now pretty gen- erally recognized in the American league is indicated by the number of klhh\nfled pitchers. Hoston has three, Wnd won a pennant liw season Chicago has three and was in the fight all the way. Detroit's best hurler, Coveleskie, is a southpaw Cleveland carries three, and St Louis bas & trio of them. Clark Griffith never found it necessary to bur 0 himself with the fork handers because he happens to have a pitcher m Walter Johnson who is so far above the rest that he makes all b Ling orders look alike.

The Petrogradski Kupetsche- ski (Petrograd Merchants) bank. The new venture starts operations in the month of June next with a capital of 5,000,000 roubles, of which 55 per cent is taken over by the Dutch syndicate This sum is 10 be increased to 10, 000,000 roubles as speedily as pos- sible.

THE SPORT IS NEW IN FLORIDA be turned next will the shooting champions out in batches for few “dog days” there will be from three to six state trapshooting tournaments weekly ready been decided in the states of Oklahoma, Georgia, Misdouri and Mississippi. From this time, however, the championships are more closely scheduled, The week at hand, for instance, has five state championships listed, They are to be held in Oregon, Kansas, Pennsylvania,, New Hampshire and Four championships have al- Florida. This is the twenty-sixth championship tournament for Penn- sylvania trapshooters, and the first for Florida. Pennsylvania has the oldy est trapshooting organization in ex- istence, and Florida the youngest, for the Sunshine state organization is less than two months old, In Twenty-three States. This week, too, will be the biggest of the present season for tourna- ments, as thirty-one are registered with the Interstate association. These thirty-one will be held in twenty- three states, as follows: Illinois, three; Kansas, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Nebraska and lowa, two, and Arizona, Oregon, Indiana, Missouri, Massachusetts, New Mex- ico, West Virginia, Arkansas, Penn- sylvania, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, California, Florida and Washington, one .cach. Twenty-five tournaments were con- ducted last week and twenty-one the week previous, - Week by week the number grows. Already 466 tourna- ments. have been registered for this year, as against 333 last year., This proved beyond all doubt the ques- tion of renewed interest and activity in trapshooting as a sport. While every tournament and cham- pionship is of more or less interest to the shooters in their respective territory, there is always one event which is larger than all the rest, Ore- g)u will have a big shoot, the biggest regon has ever had, fnr there is more interest on the Pacific coast this year than ever before. Kansas and New Hampshire will stage good- sized tournaments, and Florida will surprise the trapshooting world by the number of entries in its classic event. The Kissimmee club has in- terested the city and county authori- ties in making the championship one to be remembered. Most Interest in Penn State. The Pennsylvania tournament, however, will top all the others, be- cause of the immense size of the state and the accessibility of the place in which the shoot is to be held ~Lansdale, just outside of Philad phia. Three thousand dollars in cash and sixty trophies will be awarded the scatter gun bugs, and as an added attraction there will be a shoot in which $1,000 worth of mer- chandise will be given. One hundred and fifty-six clubs are members of the Pennsylvania State association, and if each club enters two shooters in the tournament it will be the larg- est state tourney in the country, The present Pennsylvania champion is Charles H. Newcomb, who is also national amateur champion. In all these years the champion has repeat- ed but once in the Pennsylvania championship, Fred Coleman win- ning in 1905 and 1907. Newcomb may repeat, but the “dope” is against him, In the Pennsylvania state shoot there will also be a 100-target event for women, which will decide the women's championship of the state. This is the first trapshooting cham- piunshi{) ever staged for the fair Di- anas of the traps, therefore, unusual interest is being taken in the num- ber that will turn out, Illinois also has a women's championship listed for its‘shoot the next week. The feeling is that it is only a matter of two or three years when every state will have its women's state cham- pionship event, for the members of the fair sex are very much interested in the doings of the sport-alluring these bright day Here's an Umpire Who Doesn't Have To Take Any Sass The fpllowing episodg is no made- to-order yarn, nor yet a product of the fevered imagination, It is an ac tual oceurrence at a ball game played by an independent San Antonio team |in a nearby town recently and Scotty Israel of the San Antonio Express vouches for it.

It is P ble that Chandler Egan, who |came back to the game last year after a long absence, will make the | trip to Del Monte, and the east will be represented, in a sense, by Hein- rich Schmidt, who has moved to that section, but who first made a repu- tation when a resident of Massachu- setts. | The cancellation of the special train from Chicago in the interests of amateurism made it out of the ques- tion for many of the players in and about Chicago to make the trip. Others who were not banking on the special train have found it impossible to spare the time, which'they would | have been glad to devote to it had there been the prospect of a repre- sentative field at Del Monte.

TWENTY-FIVE WILL MAKE TRIP New York, May 27.—Billy Gibson, who is engineering the venture, has practically completed arrangements for the proposed expedition of Amer- ican boxers to Buenos Ayres next month to take part in a monster pu- gilistic carnival which will be one of the features in the general celebra- tion of that city's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. “Gib” was com- missioned by a representative of the Argentine Republic to plan the in- vasion and secure the talent, and he is now only awaiting the return of that agent from Washington, where he went to confer with the minister to this country, before announcing the details of the project. Gibson is counting on about twen- ty-five men making the twenty-four day trip from this country. At the present time he has a full score “ribbed up” for the journey. These are: Freddie Welsh, world’s light- weight champion; Jack Britton, Bat- tling Levinsky, Matt Wells, former English lightweight champion; Frank Loughrey, Jim Savage, “Wild Burt” Kenny, Augie Ratner, Knockout Eg- gers, Eddie Campi, Sailor Grande, Harry Palmer, the Pittshurgh ban- tamweight; Billy Fitzsimmons, Frankie Daly, Harry Wills, Sam Mc- Vey, Tex Kelly and Tommy Robin- son. The men, with the exception of Welsh, will be signed for two matches, with an option of two more. They will all receive a flat guarantee with first-class transportation and ex- penses both ways.. The guarantees and transportation, Gibson figures, will amount to about $150,0002 Most of the bouts will' be staged in the city of Buenos Ayres. If present facili- ties are found to be inadequate or undesirable a special arena will be built. The matches will be fought during July and August and it is pro- posed to stage them twice or thrice a week, each show to consist of two fifteen-round bouts and one twenty rounder. World’s Championship Bouts. Two of the bouts will be world's championship affairs, Welsh defend- ing his title against White and Brit- ton defending his self-claimed welter- weight championship against Lewis. The other men will be matched among themselves or with local talent down there. There are good, bad and in- different boxers among the invaders. The assortment is a heterogeneous one, “We couldn’t take all first-class men down,” explains Gibson. “The object of the campaign is to popular- ize boxing in the Argentine, The na- tives have anly a few sports. The little boxing they have seen made a big hit. They have some local talent, but ag the game is Just beginning to gain a foothold this talent naturally does not compare with our best. There are a few American boxers living down there, who are looked upon as champions, but who were nothing more than mere preliminary boys up here. If we sent all our good men there the game would be dead after they came back, for they would n up. The men behind this scheme wish to develop locat talent.” Gibson Enthusiastic. | Gibson is_enthusiastic over the pos- sibilities of the Welsh-White and Britton-Lewis trip. He says it is planned to charge from $5 to $10 for the Welsh-White and Britton-Lewis bouts. Prices for lesser matches, of course, will not be so great. Britton and Lewis will meet local men before meeting each other, Some of the matches Gibson has in mind are Le- vinsky against Tro)as or Marchand, the French light-heavyweight, now in Buenos Ayres; White against Wells, McVey against Wills and Grenda against Bissert. The pro- gram, however, will be adjusted after the arrival of the Americans. “The venture is practically a sure thing," declared Gibson. “The only thing that can possibly ‘gum the works’ is the method of paying the boxers who make the trip. I intend to protect the boys in every way, and the first stipulations I insisted upon when the matter was broached to me was that American referees officiate in the bouts; that the boxing rules as adopted by the New York State] boxing commission govern all con- tests; that their purses cither be de- a posited in full with me or to my credit in a New York bank before they step aboard ship. I have no doubt that these concessions will be granted. The men tnterested in the promotion of the trip are most anx- ious to introduce boxing in the Ar- gentine, and they command backing for an enormous amount. Within the next few days 1 expect to have everything all arranged.” TEN THOUSAND COAL DIGGERS ARE WANTED FOR WAR WORK (Correspondance of the Assoclated Press.) n, April J0.—The war office ied the coal owners of Eng and Wales that 10,000 volunteer miners skilled in tunneling and tim bering-up T needed for the sh f France val owners are trying cans to supply the men wk are rees in to de with the production of coal will nor undergo mili ary tralning COLDS CAUGHT DURING AIR RAIDS BY LOWER VITALITY )0 At inquest A W . who died | Ine W the news . , hysician declare that | w o raids were (n progress the ) .

MAY WIN PLACES IN OTHERS Chicago, May 27—If Bob Simp- son’s fellow Missourians give him fair support, the Tigers may be ex- pected to cut heavily into -the point total at the conference meet at Evanston, June 3. Figures show that Simpson’s records are better in four events than those of Big Nine ath- letes éntered and if he runs true to form he should score fifteen points along for his team, granting him first place in the both hurdle events and the broad jump. In the dual meet with Kansas the other day, Simpson won the 100-yard dash and the 220 in ad- dition to those three, but his time was 101-5 ‘econds, which marks him as slower in that event than several of the conference sprinters and Bérgman of Notre Dame who in meets this spring have done the century in 10 flat. Hoyt of Grinnell, perhaps the best 220-yard dash man in the coun- try, is likely to beat Simpson in the furlong, which the Missourian won in 0:22 flat. » On paper the meet will be a close one, with first places well distributed and the final honors in points prob- ably will be settled by seconds, thirds and fourths. The numerical strength of [llinois' team gives the Orange and Blue the best chance in that case, but Wisconsin, and probably Mis- souri, may be expected to figure in strongly. Arlie Mucks, the best shot putter in the country now and holder of the intercollegiate record in the discus throw, is practically sure of garnering points for Wisconsin in other outdoor events—the hammer and javelin—so that the Cardinal propably will give Illinois a closer battle than was the case at the indoor meet last March, The Illinois squad will suffer from fiercer competition 1 other events and though Ames and Bush are likely to crowd Simpson closely in the hur« dles, the winning points they gath- ered in the indoor meet will be lack- ing in part.
