Rooter Figures Out Why
Left Flanders Get Hits

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Joe Farrell, pres
ident Of the Woodland Bards, an organi-
zation composed OF followers of the CHI
cago Americans, and one of the most
widely known baseball ''rooters in the
country, SAYS that left hand hitters gen
orally are favored with hits because of
their ability to get 10 first on Infield
drives.
The right hand hitter. Farrell believes.
often loses the decision BY a step or two
and is thrown out on drives which ordi-
narily the left hand batter beats. Far
rell says the left handler has the advan-
tage Of standing a few feet closer to the
initial sack.
The records Of the American league for
last season show that the Southpaw bat
tiers hold their share of the honors for
extra bases.
