BY J. ED GRILLo.

Though all the teams in the American
League have each year tried to develop 9
consistent left-handed pitcher. but little
success has been made in this direction
The fact that Eddie Plank and Doc
White. two veterans, still are head an(
shoulders over any of the other southpav
fingers show that there has been deartf
of good left-handers in this league fol
the past seven or eight years.
Every now and then one of the clubs
seems to have corralled a high-class left
handler, but after a year Of sensational
work they usually drop out of sight
White and Plank are not threatened with
losing their position at the head of the
southpaws of the American League fol-
some time to come, for there does not ap-
pear to be any of them in their class.
New York has Vaughn, who. on occa-
sions shows much, but he is not the con-
sistent performer that are the two veter'
ans. Boston has a splendid youngster in
Collins. but he lacks the experience of the
two leaders. The rest Of the southpaw
fingers are not to be classed with White
and Plank.
In the National League there seems
even to be a greater scarcity of high-class
left-handed pitching material. 1t seems
to be the consensus OF opinion that Maj
Rucker Of Brooklyn leads them all
Wiltse Of New York is not steady enough
to be q real star, while Pfeister of Chi.
cago is successful only against certain
teams.
Washington has not had a successful
left-hander since the days when Case Pat
ten was in his prime. and Patten was
some pitcher. Though apparently not
possessed of great speed or deceptive
curves. Patten knew the art we'll and II
was his headwork that made him q
success.
No pitcher ever dropped out of the lime
light more suddenly than did Patten. He
was at his best In 1907. but the following
year seemed unable to beat any team
though he commended right along that his
arm was as strong as ever. He was giver
trials by Boston and New York. but failed
in both instances.
Since then the Nationals have tried gu,
several left-handers. the best of which
seems to be Gray. and Dolly is far from
being a top-notcher.
Don't fall for that ten-round bout be
tween Abe Attell and Coster. in which
the Brooklyn lad is given credit for max
ing good showing against the cham
pion. That was merely an exhibition Sc
far as Attel was concerned. and he is {
master of making fight look on the leve
when he is really under forty wraps. At
tell has one OF the longest record!
in the history of the ring. and 1T would
make most interesting reading If he woult
point out the few occasions that he wa:
really doing his best.
1t is to the fact that he does not allow
himself TO go at top speed every time
he enters the ring that his long and sue
cessful career is attributed
His showing against Coster was prob
ably for the purpose or return mater
at which he will probably give the Brook
lyn lad showing up.

but as yet has not had a definite answer
as to whether he will get Killifer or not.
By reason of an agreement existing be-

first chance at any Of the Nationals sur

Friel. however, believes that he has a
