SOME FREAK HURLERS
Few Players Who Can Use Either
Hand in Pitching.
Keenan, of Youngstown Could work
Equally Well With Either Arm
corcoran Tried to Come
Back" With Left Hand.

Followers of baseball have often
heard of the fellow who could pitch
a fast ball with either hand and make
il curve also. but few have seen one
of these pitching freaks.
Baseball history tells of CHAP
named Owen keenan,, who pitched for
Youngstown, O., in 1885. keenan,
could pitch equally well with either
arm. On the Fourth of July OF that
season this wonder pitched two games
of ball against New Castle and beat
that team in both contests. He worked
his left arm in the first game and
used his right wing in the second con-
test, with the odds in favor OF the
right whip.
The famous Larry Corcoran OF the
Chicago team, in the early SOS was
one of the great hurlers of the pc
Rod. Larry lost the use of his won
derful right arm during the season
of 1885. This almost broke his heart.
for Larry was not old in years. 1t
dawned upon him that he might make
a left-handed pitcher, for he was al
ways clever at throwing with his left,
and used to practice frequently. In
the season of 1886 Corcoran signed
with a Southern league team as left
handed pitcher and reported for
practice as such. He worked hard to
gain control, for he developed rare
speed. Larry pitched a few exhibit
ton games, and in one of them he
kinked his remaining wing SO bad
ly that he was released, so he had
to quit the game, for he had run out
of pitching arms.
Windham, originally a right-hand-
ed pitcher, lost the use of his pitch
ing arm through an accident He
made a shift and began practicing
with his left arm. He was very sue
cessful and made a splendid record
with the Worcester team of the East
ern league during 1913, so good, in
fact, that he was signed by the ST.
Louis Americans for the season of
1914. However, his pitching from the
left side was not natural for him, and
instead of his arm getting stronger
and better he weakened his whole
left side and finally had to give up
pitching.
So the ambidextrous hurler is more
or less of myth. The pitching game
is too strenuous for any kind of an
arm but the good natural wing.

AT 100, FIGHTS "FRESH AIR"
New York Centenarian Never Sleeps
With Windows Up-Says He
Never SWore.

Rome, N. Y.-Orvel S. Dorman of
this city, who has just passed his one
hundredth birthday, and is still hale
and hearty, says he LAS never slept
with the window open at night except
in the intensely hot weather, and then
simply to get cool air-not fresh.
He pities the "fresh-air cranks," as
he calls them, that they will not be
here to see him make good his boast
of seeing two centuries.
Two years ago Mr.. Dorman required
a physician for some slight indisposi-
ton. Arriving at night, the doctor
found the windows of the sleeping
room closed tight. The doctor opened
them, but Mr.. Dorman ordered them
closed again.
Mr.. Dorman never uses tobacco in
any form, leans strongly toward prohf-
bition and says he never swore. He
attributes his long life to a clear
conscience, plenty of hard work, alb
sence of worry and minding his own
business. =
He received congratulatory letters
from President Wilson and Governor
Whitman on his birthday.
