And not the least evidence of luck is just such secondary injuries as I speak of, which prevent a man from doing his best work, but at the same time don't loom up as important enough to cut much dash in the dope.
 One thing which has influenced my ball playing perhaps more than any other, is the fact that I am left handed. Now am not a port slider in other ways.

course I do not know that I could have been a successful short stop or sec ond baSeman even if had been right handler. But the fact that I was not prevented me from even trying to fill any other position save first base. That is the penalty that the left handed in- fielder pays for his physical deviation positions available are immediately shut off from his reach. | l felt this handicap when began to play regular baseball, but at the same time I noted that there were compen- sations. There usually are. If my port sideness kept me from trying for three out of four infield positions it made me all the better first baseman. For at the initial sack 1 consider that the left handler has slight but decisive ad- vantage over his right handed brother. Throwing as he does from the offside of his body. he can get quicker throw
 to second or third and just as quick a
 delivery to home plate. This advantage
 slight to be sure. is nevertheless valua-
 ble and should give the left handler a
 visible percentage in making double
 plays.
 The advantage of batting left handed
 is generally recognized. Most of the
 to bat from the near side of the plate
 though they are left handed in no other
 respect. Obviously from this side the runner has shorter distance to cover
 in reaching first and the difference, some three or four feet, is frequently enough to determine whether batted ball shall be a safety or an out. Again, into his stride and should be in a po- sition to make a quicker get away to first than as though he batted from the opposite edge of the platter.

MANY PLAYERS NOW
 SLIDE TO FIRST
However They Lose a Fraction of a Second in Doing SO that in Some Cases Puts Them Out.

Why does a baseball player slide to | first base when trying to beat a close play? Because he thinks he can hit the bag quicker that way than by go- ing across standing up. That fallacy
 was exploded years ago by actual test, but the younger generation of players either has forgotten it or never knew it, and the practice of sliding to first
 base is growing with each new relay of
 recruits to the majors. Even some of
 the older players, who ought to know
 better, are catching the disease.
 Way back before the present century began there was considerable agitation
 in favor of letting baserunners over
 run second as well as first without in-
 curing liability to be put out for it.
 the object was to increase base running ing second. It was argued, and ac-
 tually demonstrated by stop watch
 tests. that runner had to slow up a fraction of a second to make 8 slide either head first of feet first. The req son was never clearly given, but some asserted it was because the runner had to break his stride to make the slide and others that he lost some of his bodily momentum.
 Anyhow" the tests showed the fastest possible way to get from one base to another was to stand up, run at top speed all the way, and over run the bag. It was decided against permitting runners to do that in go- ing to second base because of the diff ferent conditions. At first base 1t is not necessary to touch the runner. but only to beat him to that cushion with the ball, while at the other three bases it is necessary to- tag the runner as everyone knows.
 Under these conditions it readily is an advantage for a runner to slide in- stead of going in standing up. Ere Quently when the ball beats a runner to second third or home he can avoid being touched by sliding away from the guardian of the base and making it necessary to tag his spikes or his shins, whereas ii he went in standing up he would present a much larger tar get for the baseman to touch.
 Consequently the movement to per- init overrunning second base was side 1 tracked a favor to foxy base-run- ners with the ability to slip around l opponents although at the cost of a | fraction of second in their speed.
 There is no such advantage in the l slide to first base, however, and the | player who hits the dirt merely in- | creases the chances of being beaten by | the ball. It is quite probable that l the players habits of sliding to other | bases on all close plays, so as to make
