a pcrusal OF the batting records
brings out a peculiarity. 1t uncovers
the fact that the majority OF the great.
est sluggers the game has produced
have been right.handed hittcrs, yet the
bulk OF high percentage hitters are left
handlers.
The left.handed batting stars for the
most part, are speedy afoot. the right
handlers are clumsy to an extreme.
most OF the right handlers have been
big men; the left handlers run TO the
diminutive on the average
Old Cap Anson was a right handler.
So was Ed Delehanty. who could drive
a ball as far as any man in the game
LaJoie and Wagner, the veterans, are

last summer, is n right handler. Fred

WlIbert Roblnson's Advice.
Wilbert Robinson. the brainy Dodger
leader was asked IF a youngster, as.
piring to become big Lacquer, asked
you from which side he would swing at
a ball. what would you tell him?"
Robinson, who has been in baseball
since 1852 answered: my first advice
to him would be to swing from the
side In which he packed the most
shoulder power. That's the main es.
sential in hitting. In cases where q
youngster has almost equal power In
his shoulders. would advise that he
hat left handed.
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times., 1916-06-22

"a loft.handed hitter always Is from
three to six feet nearer TO first baso
than Is the right handor. When a
right handler takes his position he is
on the far side OF the plate; the lett
handler is on the near side When the
right handler hits the ball, the swing
pulls him farther away from first,
whereas. a swing actually sends q left
handler nearer TO the initial bag
When you take into consideration
how often during a season that q throw
beats a man to first by just one stride
you can appreciate the great advantage
there ~ in hitting left handed.
But this fact shouldn't influence q
youngster who bats left handed nor.
mally to shift to the other sIde-unless
he has as much or greater power In
his left shoulder as his right
AS to Lajoie and Wagner.
How much better do you think those
batting stars Lajoie and Wagner would
have batted II they had Deen left
handed hitters-and fast afoot?"
From 20 to 40 points each season
during their prime" answered Robby.
Both men rank among the greatest
sluggers the game has produced. They
never scored fuke hits. When they
made safeties they earned them by ter.
rible walloping.
AT least 20 times each season Ia.
joie and Wagner have been beaten out
OF hits to the iniield because they ar.
rived at first Just n fraction of a sec.
ond behind the ball. That means the
stride. Batting from the left side
would have put that stride in their ia.
vor and those outs would have been
hits.
"But both those men are normal
right handlers. They have the real
swinging power in their shoulders
Had they shifted TO the port side they
would have gained that stride, but
would have sacrificed their mighty slug
ging ability. So In their case, as In
the case OF any normal right handler
1t would be folly to change to the lefi
! side"
