SOUTH PAWS IN BIG LEAGUES
Baseball Managers Cultivate Loft
Hand Pitchers and Battero.

About 81 per cent OF otherwise
normal people uso tho right hand In
preference to the left, per cent arc
left handed. and II is a curious fact
that one-thlrd OF the per cent are
ambideXtrous. II this proportion op-
piled TO baseball south paw pitchers
and batter9 II would cut no leo what
ever.
AS 1t is, fully one third of the play
ers In the major leagues are left hand
cd. or. at least. pitch and bat left
handed, while only few throw with
tho south paw. This extraordinary
percentage Is doubtless due TO the fact
that magnates and managers sed-
ulously cultivate south paw pitchers
and batsmen, particularly the latter,
under the belief that the left handed
pitcher has something on left handed
b0tters. while such batsmen have an
advantage over right handed batsmen
in a quicker start to first base and a
fraction of second In close plays at
the bag
This Inter fact accounts for the
steady Increase of natural loft handed
batsmen and OF right handlers who
change to tho other hand This ad-
vantage OF umo on close plays at first
base olso helps many left handlers to
high position In the batting averages.
but for real solid slusging we must
look TO tho normal right handed bats

MIR. Sothcrn's Accuracy.

credit for tho range of his rcpertory

Nevertheless the intelligent student

Reports of marvellous feats being
performed by Dutch" Arnold In tho
Philippine Islands bring out the fol-
lowing remarks from Arthur Duffy:
Arnold used to be quite a familiar
figure in athletic circles some ten years
ogo." says the one time champion. In
those days he could sprint. jump or
hurdle with any OF tho champions But
OF all the weird tales OF new records
made in sport I have to take with o
grain of salt tho alleged performance
OF Arnold In running 100 yards In Is

ARNOLD is an enlisted man and 1t is
reported. performed his great feat on

FIGHTERS NOM DE PLUMES.
Many corbetts and tocksons, but No
JoffrIco.

When II Is considered how partial
boxers orc to assuming tho names OF
the champions of their own profession
as ring titles II seems rather cxtraor-
dinary that tho nomc of Jeffries did
not attract moro followers. Savc for
quality as boxers only a single In
dlvidual assumed the nomo with even
moderate success This was Billy HUI
bor. who won quito an array OF semi
windupo as Young Joffrles.
Thcro were Corbotts galore. Long
before William Rothwell won the
featherweight championship under the
name OF Young Corbett, George Green
had used the same tito. He was a
boxer OF ability. Frod Corbett. now
boxing in the east is Carol Cain OF st.
Louis. And in tho last ten years at
leaTt 4 dozen men have earned dis
tinction after assuming tho name,
James ]. Corbett Is tho only ono who
really is of that name
There wcro plenty OF Sullivons and
several Young John LIS, but none OF
these did much so many mon who
actually possess tho name of Sullivan
have figured in tho ring that no In
dlylduality is attached to tho title.
There are two Young Walcotts. and
nobody can tell just which Is tho origi-
nal
Nearly ovcry boxer OF note. from Pc
ter Jackson on down. has had his name
assumed as q ring title by newcom-
ers. Young Peter Jackson was a box
er OF considerable ability, 1t now
seems as IL tho ring VIII bo flooded
with Young Jack Johnsons, as tho
dark skinned members of the calling
are exceedingly partial to bearing
names to which glamour is attached
II was across tho water that this
practice OF assuming tho names OF
prominent boxers first came into no.
tice. Records OF more than century
ago show that there wcro "Young 6
Mendozae" in great variety. Several
boxers assumed tho name of Jem
Belcher. generally preilHing 1t with the
namc OF their homo town Thus.
Bristol and Gloucester wero added TO
the name.
