SouthbasVs and Right Hand HurIeyy
Look All the Same to Bobby Veach

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 29.-Bob-
by Veach, left-hand hitter, says that
southpaws are no harder for him 10
get to than are right handlers.
Bob has been demonstrating the
truth OF this statement by his con.
sistent work against southpaws dur
ing this trip north.
Southpaws are generally recognized
as hrader for left hand hitters TO
reach than are right handlers. The
preponderance OF right hand twirlers
and the advantage In a few feet In
going from the plate to first, gives left
hand hitters general favoritism over
right hand batters.

me whether they're right handlers or
southpaws," said Bob veach. ~''If I'm
hitting In my stride, I'll get them all
no matter which side they throw
from. II I'm not hitting, why can't
get any OF them"
some OF the Tigers 30 so far rs TO
say that a left handler can put more
stun on any kind Of q ball than can
a right hander--billiards balls, tennis
balls. and bowling balls as well as
baseballs.
veach thinks that a southpaw is
generally harder TO hit merely be-
cause the batters face fewer OF them
than they do right handlers and the
