LEFT HANDED BALL PLAYERS.
They Should Pitch or Take the Out
field or First Base.

Left handed throwers who desire to
play the intield should confine their eff
forts to first base. The records OF
baseball fail to show u left handed
thrower successful in any iniield posi-
ton other than first base. This is due
to the fact that left handed thrower
who tries to play second. third or
shortstop Is always off his throwing
balance when he gets ground ball.
1t is necessary. therefore. that he
should change his position before he
can make IL throw to any of the other
bases with any degree of accuracy.
"A left handler Is conceded to have
considerable advantage over right
handler in playing first base. This is
because a left handed thrower at first
base is always in position for throw
ing to any of the other infielders or
catcher without having to make any
shift. In handling hunts and attempt
ing force play at some other base
the fraction of second saved in be-
ing able TO field and throw with prac-
tically the same motion gets the YER
dict on many close plays.
Left handed thrOwers are under a
serious handicap when trying to catch
a catcher who throws right handed
will tell you 1t is much easier to
throw to second with a right handed
batter up than left handler. A right
handed batter gives the catcher clear
view of second base and the runner
With left handed batter it is slight
ly obscured. The majority Of batters
are right handlers.
Players who throw left handed
should choose only pitching. playing
the outfield or holding down first base.
