But since Gilmore's organisation
went the same way as that of the
Union League. and several others
that blossomed forth with the object
OF crowding the two big leagues of
the baseball map. many good left
handers have appeared in the younger
octet.
This season there are no less than
eighteen pitchers who saw service in
Johnson's circuit last season, and who
heave them to the plate with their
southside limb. that will be ready to
take their turn upon the mound when
called upon. In addition to these
practically every major league man
ager has carried to their southern
training camps one or two other port
side moundsmen. Just how many of
these will stick is a matter of con-
lecture.
Nevertheless the fact stands out
that those players in the American
League who swing from the near side
will be called upon to face more south
paw pitching during the coming cam
paign than ever before.
Fielder Jones will present Kobb

probably be the only experienced left

Texas, state that the Detroit ball players
are in sympathy with a movement started
by fellow athletes to abandon the mill

The local players have been drilling
with bats instead of guns. and It is
understood this has been unpopular with
them.
