Since the appointment of Field Mar
ehal Won Hindenburg as chief of staff it
has been reported that he desired to
leave in France and Belgium sufficient
men to hold the line and to devote his
energies to the east, for he is credited
with the belief that it is on the eastern
front that the first conclusive victory
must be won.

LEONARD ON POINTS.
Dundee Is Outpointed in Nine of
 Ten Rounds.

New York, June 13.-Benny Leon.-. ard of New York outpointed Johnny Dundee, also of this city, in a ten round contest here last night. Leon- ard had an advantage of nine pounds, Dundee weighing 127. Despite the handicap the latter gave a splendid exhibition.
 Leonard is matched to meet Freddy Welsh, lightweight champion, here on Friday night. The bout is expected to be postponed however, as Welsh is,- reported to be in no condition to face 0 dangerous opponent. ... I'd
 Leonard was cool throughout and met Dundee's rushes with left iab to good effect, and his footwork and blocking of blows were masterful- Dundee kept up his rushing tactics, even in the eighth when Leonard crossed a hard right three times to his face and jaw. ~.

Wie1d Willow WiIfuIIy.

New York, June 13.-There are
 grave doubts whether any Cubs com ! plained to Joe Tinker last night about those shadows on the Polo Grounds furnishing their batting lamps. Vic Safer and Jimmy Archer might side with the Giants in the Harlem ver- sion of the shadow batting case, but at the most, they could only file a minority Chicago report. When asked about those shadows, seven other Cubby- bearers merely replied, "Tee hee." Eddie Mulligan ioyfully gulf awed, Flaw haw.' It is presumed a Mulligan would rather be quoted guffawing Flaw haws'' than giggling Tee hees."
 This might be a good place to break in and say that the Cubs won their maiden 1916 victory from the Giants on the Harlem Green yester- day. and truly the Windy City links made swell job of it.
 Eighteen base-knocks, adding up to twenty-siv bases, flew from the Cub rifles, mortars and 42-centimeter guns, and the Giants were buried un- der the wreckage by a score of to 2. Plump Bumpetty- bump, The McGraw lads tumbled into third place, and tho Cubs moved next door to fourth. The score:
 Chicago ....... O21102O20-8 IS Z New York .. 1OO00O010-2 6

WILD PITCH SPOILS l CHANCE AT SHU1OU1'
Cards Get Only Tally When
 Cheney UncorkS Bad Peg

Brooklyn, June 13.-The Dodgers yesterday afternoon and increased their lead in the National league pen nant race by downing the Cardinals at Ebbets Field, score to l. In so the visitors from St. Louis, making the count one game apiece.
 Larry Cheney had one of his good days He allowed only seven hits, pretty well scattered, and struck out eight of the Miller Huggins men. His sole harmful fault was his wildness. The former Cub gave five men flee transportation to first base and also uncorked a wild pitch 1Hath was all that prevented him from shutting out the opposition. Chief Wilson was on third base when he unlimbered the woolly heave, and all that was ne- cessary was nice easy little trot home
 Against Cheney was pitted Slim Harry Salee. The latter looked like a sure winner for more than half the distance in spite of numerous heavy hits made off him. He had the same knack as Cheney of keeping his fees from rapping the ball safely Wien men were on bases-had it to an even more pronounced degree than Cheney in the early part of the game, but lost it entirely for two brief speeIs. and thereby lost the game. The score:

Left Handed Barriers.

It was to meet this fancy crop of left-handed hitters that so many sCuth-paws were rounded up
 A few years ago a ball club that had one good left-hander toiling from he mound was pretty well fixed To- day the Tanks have three in CuIlop, Morgridge and Love. The Red Sox have Leonard, Gregg and Ruth; all through both leagues you will find left handlers as thick as daisies in the fields of June. Six or seven years ago there were, possibly twenty or tVenty-one left-handers in both major leagues Today there are at least forty southpaws in active ser wee.

 Italian Champion.
 New Haven, June 13.-Chic Brown piled up lead in points by means of his good left hand that Bunny Ford was unable to overcome, and the final verdict was given by Referee Fitz- gerald to the Italian champion. Ford " ent down With his colOrs flying. No harder fought fray has been staged ill the Arena this season and Bunny was in the game every minute of the time, but Chic's reach and his aforementioned left hand gave him the better of a closely fought contest last night.
 The semi-fnal between Tommy Shea of this city and Battling Lahn was decided as a draw by Referee Dave Fitzgerald, notwithstanding the protest offered by many fans, who were of the opinion that Shea was entitled to the verdict. Shea showed to a better advantage in last night S go than than at any other time in his fighting career, landing effective blows and outboxing Lahn from the onset.

The right-harded hitter in baseball hasn't yet become extinct, but appar- rently his days of leadership are over
 There was a time when the right handler had all the best of it-When Lajoie, Wagner and Delehanty were at their best-all league leaders. But of late this condition has changed.
 The New Turn.
 Hans Wagner, a right-hander, led the National league at bat in 1911. Heinie Zimmerman, another right handler followed Honus in 1912. But no right handler has reached the top Cf the National league list since.
 In 1913 and 1914 Jake Daubert, swinging from the off-side, led his circuit, and when Jacob slipped last year Larry Doyle and Fred Luderus, both left-handers, fought the fight cut to a finish, with Doyle on the top.
 And for 1916 Daubert and Doyle have been leading most of the season, sh towing no change in the style that set in four years ago.
 Even Thicker Margin.
 In the American league the preVa- lence of left-hand hitters has been even more pronounced.
 The last right-hander to lead that circuit was Nap Lajoie back in 1905. Tn 1906 George Stone, a left-hander, ruled the roost, and ever since T. R. Cobb has maintained the leading crest.
 It might be argued that, as Cobb Is super-swa tsman, this evidence is not conclusive But the facts are, not only Cobb, but practically all the leading A. L. batsmen have been left-handed operators of the big mace.
 Cobbs leading rivals for the last several years have been Joe Jackson, Iris Speaker, Eddie Collins and Frank Baker All four are left-handers at

A Fan Mystery.

One query that you hear popping out about every seventeen minutes is this: Why is it that left-hand hit ters can't hit left-hand pitching effectively? The best left-hand hit ters can. You don't see many south paws bothering Cobb, Collins, Baker. Speaker, Daubert, Crawford and Doyle a lot. But the average left handler at bat is undoubtedly weaker against southpaW pitching, and large ly for this reason-the southpaw' S best curve breaks away from left handed batsman, whereas right handlers best curves break in toward him-and it is considerably easier to maui a curve ball coming in toward you that it is to hit one breaking away.
