S0UThPAWS GAINING IN
FAVOR OF TEAM OWNERS

progressed some smart batters
learned to bat left-handed so they
would be especially effective
against left-handed pitching. This
also added speed in the cases of
fast baserunners as they gained a
couple of steps in getting away
from the plate on hit.
Bill Carrigan and later Jack
Barry used Del Gainor and Dick
Hoblitzel at first base, the latter
against right-handed pitchers, the
former against the southpaws.
In the last world series both
McGraw and Rowland switched
to meet changes of pitchers.
Rowland used John Collins in
left field until the second game
when Perritt, a Highlander, was
substituted for Schupp, he sent in
Leibold for the balance of the
game. McGraw used Thorpe on a
change of White Sox pitchers.
Left-handers have always been
wonders at first base. Some of the
greatest initial sackers of today
throw and bat from the port side.
Witness Hal Chase, Jake Daubert,
George Sisler and Walter Holke.

II the value Of a southpaw is
doubted the Official averages Of
the National league recently il
sued show conclusively that the
managers in the older circuit have
no doubt about their use.
The records show that no less
than 81 port siders worked in the
National, probably the largest
number ever gathered together
under one tent during a season.
Only a trifle over half Of this
number we're pitchers, II in all,
the rest worked in the outfield or
on first base.
One manager, Fred Mitchell,
could have put an entire south
paw outfield into the field had he
wished to do SO, Williams, Wolter
and Flack all throwing from the
fork side.
The advantage Of left-handed
pitchers has long been well known.
In the days when they were scarce
they could usually be counted on
to fool the batters with curves
which broke just opposite to those
Of the right handlers. AS the game

Trout Fishing Good
Now In Lake Chelan

Trout fishing is good. At least
in one section, that being our
scenic part of the state known as
Chelan county, and in the particu-
lar body OF water known as Lake
Chelan.
H. e. Ovenden, well known bus
mess man Of Wenatchee, who Is
also we'll known as a trapshooter,
hunter and fisherman, was in the
city this week, and told of the fine
fishing that is now being found in
the big lake of their county. Mr..
Ovenden is one of the game COM
missioners Of Chelan county, and
knows the fish and game situation
of his county as well as anyone
living there.
Lake Chelan is open for fishing
the year around, and altho it did

fishermen who journeyed into
country near the close of the state
fishing season found excellent
sport, and 1t has continued so

and Lake Chelan trout are being
taken in large numbers.
0venden' is enthusiastic over
the sport furnished by his county,
done, he claims, thru the hard
work of the county commission
who are each one of them enthus-
iastic sportsmen and have the in
terest of the game at heart. The
county issued a higher average

A GILT EDGED INVESTMENT FOR
EVERYBODY

In looking over those war savings
certificates, the point to get in mind is
this: Uncle Sam is giving the rank
and file Of as the best chance to save
and invest small sums Of money that
has ever been offered in the whole
financial history Of the world. You can
now buy the promise Of the strongest
treasury on earth to pay you five dol
lars five years hence January l, 1929
You can buy that note any time dur
ing this month or next year at a price
ranging from $412 to 1929. You
don't have to figure interest nor clip
coupons, nor worry about the safety
OF your loan. Behind it are the wealth
and taxing power of the richest coun-
try ever known. Your coin is earning
four per cent interest right along, and
interest that is reckoned every three
months. There may be savings banks
that will do that much for you, but we
are not aware of any. If it were not
for that hundred dollar limit on each
purchase, and the thousand dollar lin
1t on the total that anyone can buy,
the big financial fellows would leave
precious few of these war-savings
stamps for the rest of us. After ali
these years of trying to cut out gold
brick schemes which takers aim at
the poor mans pocket-book, the gov
eminent is now giving the men of
small means positive chance to show
whether they know a good thing when
they see it. You can buy these war
savings certificates at any post office
and at many other places keep your
eyes open for the sign). By giving ten
days notice you will be able to pet
your five dollars Cor more) on or after
New Years Day, 1923, at any post
office where you can buy a money or
der. If you want to cash in sooner.
you can do it the same way, but in that
case you will only get three per cent
on your money. Better see the deal
through. If you have sound financial
sense, you will tuck some of these
stamps (big or little) each cay, and
the time to begin is now-Collier's.
