Cub Players Getting Great Applause From
 Chicago Crowds Now

Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, Jimmy Scheckard, Artie Holman, Harry Steinfeldt and Frank Chance were idols on the West Side in the pennant winnings days, but it is doubtful if they commanded more admiration than Cy Williams, Frank Schulte, Heinie Zimmerman, Jimmy Archer and Vic Safer are getting at present on the North Side from the Cub fans, writes Oscar Reichow in the Chicago respect of the followers through their earnest efforts and brilliant playing and richly deserve what they are get ting in the way of applause and en- coura cement.
 Fans were somewhat worried before the opening of the season whether Zimmerman, Williams, Safer, SchuIte and Archer would play up to their standard for Manager Tinker. They have learned since that these star players are surpassing their 1915 performance in every respect and it has been their combined assiduous eff forts that have kept the club in a position to battle for first division place. It has been years since the Cub fans have looked at such playing as Williams, Schulte, Safer and Z1m- nnerman have been supplying to date.
 From close observation one is almost compelled to say that the task of keep ing the Cubs in the race will fall up- on Zimmerman, Williams, Schulte and Safer. Their batting is the big point. If they can keep it up and the tWirl- CTS hold up their end the Cubs are certain. to be on top or near at every stage of the skirmish. What they have accomplished to date is sufficient proof of that, and it is doubtful if four men can be found in the National League to equal the work they have done in the first month of this sea- son's schedule

BIG PERCENTAGE OF MAJOR HlTTERS
 ARE LEFT FLANDERS

New York, May 27-A perusal of the mace welding records brings out a peculiarity. It uncovers the fact that the majority of the greatest s1uggers the game has produced have been right-handed hitters, yet the bulk of high percentage hitters are Ieft-handers.
 The left-handed batting stars for the most part are speedy afoot, the right handlers are clumsy to an ex- treme, most of the right-handers have been big men; the Ieft-handers run to the dinlinutive on the aver age.
 Old Cap Anson was a right-hander. So was Ed. De1enhanty who could drive a ball as far as any man in the game. Lajoie and Wagner. the veterans, are starboard clouters. Cactus Cravath, who damned the fences ever and anon last summer is a right-hander. Fred MerkIe, the long distance banger of the Giants, is a right-hander. Piano Legs Hick- man, famous s1ugger of a, few years ago. was a right-handed swinger
 On the other hand. Cobb is a south paw c1outer. So are Collins, Baker, Kauff, Speaker, Daubert, Luderus and Doyle. With the exception of Baker and Luderus all are fast men. Except ing those two, none can be classed as 8 terrific slugger: at least none is in the Cravath. Lajoie, Wagner, Dele hanty division. They hit the ball hard and far-but it is their speed that en- ab1es them to take unto them selves each year husky average.
 Once upon a time WiIbert Robin son, the brainy6 Dodger leader, was asked: "If a youngster, aspiring to become a big 1eaguer. asked you from which side he should swing at a bali. what would you tell him ?'
 Robinson, who has been in base ball since 1882. answered: My first advice to him would be to swing from the side in which he packed the m ost shoulder power. That's the main essential in hitting. In cases where youngster has almost equal power in his shoulders I would advise that he bat left handed, especially if he were som ewhat speedy.
 "A left-handed hitter always is from three to six feet nearer to first base than is the rfght-hander. When r1ght-hander takes his position he is on the far side of the p1ates the left handler is on the near side. When the right-handeF hits the ball the swing pulls him farther away from first, whereas Q swing actually sends a tsfs

LYRIC

The story of Her Two Weeks Honeymoon.y Pen Trenton's play, which Cecil spooner will produce next week at the Lyric, concerns the eventfuI career of two sisters, born and bred in a small New England town. both of opposite dispositions. One has the desire for the white lights of Broa adway, the cabaret at fractions, tango, etc, while the other is content with her home life and sur roundings. The two sisters, Clare and Anne Andrews, are two loveable char acters, and while opposites, are dra- raatica11y attractive, as they are the central characters in this most vital play of love, laughter and tears. Sel@ dom, if ever, has a play and produc- ton of this importance- been produced in late years. treating with this sort of a subject. There is one big thing the management claims in it's favor, that it is absolutely clean throughout, also refreshing and full of object lessons of life.

Under a strict inter pretation of the well known rules of the Marquis of Queensberry, Wolgast's s wrist blow was foul, and Ad was sub ject to disqualification. Tactics a. lot more unfair than this have been and are used by many fighters. Packey Mcfarland, in many of his bouts, hit with his open glove, which is branded as unfair by the Queensberry code. George McFadden, Abe Attel, Kid Mccoy, John l.. Sullivan and many other famous scrappers have all made use of blows which are not permissible under the rulings of the Marquis, but they got away with it.

 OF RING BATTLES

1s11-Ad Wo1gast knocked out Oakland Frankie Burns in 17th round at San Francisco. The German boxer had to adopt decidedly unfair tactics in order to get the CaIifornian's s goat Burns had a turt1e-like defense that was mighty difficult to solve. He had the habit, when in danger, of creuching until he was almost bent double; wrapping his arms around his head. Wolgast found a solution for this defense by adopting a wrist blow, making use of a short forearm and baok-hand punch that brought the
