\ left-hander works lot different
from Il righthandcr. This is some
thing The southpaw should bear in
mind
In the excellent article which Mr.,
Sparks wrote for the North American S
amateurs he gave lot of good advice
that every pitcher ought 10 study, no
matter which hand he throws with
But, in addition to these, there arc
some other important points that apply

7 have to make.
Only in the last ten years has the
southpaw come to his present important
place in baseball Once a lcft-handcd
pitcher was novelty: now he is almost
as frequent as his brother who huris
from the other side.
Twenty years ago there were not
more than half dozen in the National
league. Now every club in the big
show has at least one, and some have
two or three.
To large extent the coming of left
handed batters developed the need for
lcfthandcd pitchers.
One can easily trace the progression.
More men are naturally right-handed
than lcft-90 per cent perhaps.
The boy who threw with his right
hand also batted right handed. There
fore, in the carly days of the profes
sional game not more than one or two
men in the batting order of club
would be left-handcd hitters.
LeftHanded Hitters.
Then managers began TO find out that
the lcft-handed hittcrs enjoyed a big
advantage. Dan Brouthers. Sam
Thompson and Roger Connor were slug
gers of the early days who showed
what could be done. Young players be
gan to initiate them, and the crop of
lcft-handed hitters grew, until today
perhaps 40 per cent of the big leaguers
are on that side of the plate.
But the left handed hitters were early
found to have one weakness While
they could kill right handed pitchers,
they had their troubles against left
handed twirlers. and so the hunt for
southpaws began. IL is still on, and
the southpaw kid who has anything
need not worry about his future. He
can get plenty of chance.
What Mr.. Sparks says about control
is absolutely correct 1T is the most
important Of all pitching qualifications
