Left Field is Regarded
~ Harder Than Right
Ball Players Agree That Center Field
10 Easlsst Spot In the
Garden. a

While the P1ttshurE Pirates were Al
Hot Springs . discussion was started
~ 70 which OF the three outdeld po-
sitions was hardest to play. Manager
Clark argued that the left fielder mad
the most dincult garden. while Otis
Clymer thought the hardest work fell
to the right fielder. both agreeing that
the center position was at all times
the easiest of the three Along this
line. the following from the pen OF
Jack Ryder, the Cincinnati scribe, Is
interesting:
.Amous outfieiders the left station
II generally rated ~ the most difi-
cult to play: that IL. when the sun
field II not taken into confederation.
The reason for this il that ieft-handed
batters, when they hit to left at all.
drive out balls that are harder TO
handle than any other variety sent to
the gardens. When = southpaw hit
ter cuts one to left, there II . peculiar
twist ON the ball which often. II 1t is
hit hard, causes It to take peculiar
dive or shoot. Such Q ball II not only
dinicult to Judge accurately. but 1t
comes to the fielder dead and hard to
hold. A left fielder must hava,a good
psir of hands to negotiate such
catches, a. the ball has q tendency
to break and twist out OF the glove.
and must be grasped firmly.
"Low-line drives close to the left
foul line, especially those hit by left
hand batter, are the hardest balls to
feld that are sent to any Of the gar
dens. 1t il strange. but true. that q
right-hand batter hitting to right held
does not impart this peculiar twist
to the ball, and this makes 1t shade
easier to play right ineld than left.
Center neld IL the easiest Of the three
positions. for q bali hit In that direc-
tiou has been met fair and square
By the bat and sails out on = pretty
straight course. with no disconcertins
changes In its direction. The middle
fielder has more ground to cover than
either of his companions, but his
catches are comparatively easy"
OF course where there are sun.helds.
that alters the argument altogether.
Both left fields in st. Louis are noto-
rfously hard to play on account Of the
fact that the sun blazes right down
into the fielder's eyes. Few fans have
much idea Of the strain on man
who II compelled to play like that day
after day, and due allowance should
be made for him II his batting falls
OF under the strain. A sun-nelder is
compelled to wear smoked glasses in
order to see the ball At all, and the
eject Of putting these on and taking
them Oh many times during an after
noon is bound to dim tho keenness OF
his optics.

Many Famous Players
Started as Pitchers
star Ball Tosssrs Who 0ssan oams
In Different Positions In Which
They Made Good.


Has the baseball fan ever stoppsd
to consider how many ups and downs
the present day stars experienced be
for they found position for which
they were actually htted? This has
been the case particularly with men
who were pitchers and either lost
their cunning as slab artists or were
not strong enough to keep up with the
rest of the crowd. One could name
probably half q hundred men who are
stars at the present time who were
once pitchers or catchers.
Let us start with Willie Keeler. 1t
may not be generally known that
Keeler began his career on the dia-
mond as . pitcher. In those. days he
played with amateur and semi-profes.
sional teams In Brooklyn and other
Long Island places. Even when Keel
er broke into fast company he started
as a third baseman. New York had
him and could do nothing with him.
Then Brooklyn had q crack at this
present-day star. But 1t was not until
he reached Baltimore that his real
value developed. He was placed in
right field, and from then until the
present day he ranged first in that
position.
Kid Gleason will be remembered ~
pitcher. Then he came to New
York and developed into one of the
best fielding second basemen in the
major league.
Callahan, who 10 playing independ-
ent baseball in Chicago, was once a
great pitcher. There is Isbell. He
ranked high as . twirler until few
years ago. Then he turned to infield
work, and II very valuable man at
either first or second.
Remember how Cy Seymour used to
whip 'em over at the Polo grounds?
But at his best he was erratic. Still.
he was valuable as hitter, and when
he left New York he was placed In
the infield. At present there are few
men who are his equal in fielding OF
hitting.
In Chicago and then in Baltimore. To
day he is very valuable man behind
the bat. Indeed, he is good in any
position when . team ID in pinch.
Frank ChAace. . catcher. developed
into star drst baseman. And II may
not be geHsrally known that Mike
Donlin broke into baseball as . pitch.
er. He came to st. Louis from Cali
fornia.
Then there 10 Bobby Wallace. He
was the Clevelands' greatest pitcher
in the early '90's- He was and is yet
q great inhelder. Hal Chase. who has
no equal a. nrst baseman, was q
pitcher for . time.
Danny HOFFMAN was pitcher in
the Connecticut league. and 50 was
Pat Dougherty.
