Few Players Turn Around" at Bal

In the National League last season
there we're l72 players who took part
in Is or more championship games and
so worked their way into the official
averages. OF these ia, or almost ex-
actly twO-thirds, were right-hand hit
tiers. Forty-seven. or less than one
third, were left-hand hitters, while
only II turned around" or hit from
either side of the plate, according to
the sort of pitching they were facing.
That is. only about 6 per cent, or
three players out of fifty have found
it to be an advantage to shift their
position at the bat or these only
five are regular players on their
teams. namely Carey. of the Pirates:
Holke. of the Braves; Larry Kopf, of
the Reds; Dave Bancroft, of the
Phillies, and Lee Magee, of the Cubs.
The other six were pitchers or SUBJ
stitute players.

 Dominant Issue
(continued From Page one.)

(Continued From Page One.) Prussian in inspiration and method" He said he did not see how pro- gressives could support the Republi- can platform. He added that he had not aided any candidate for the nomination at San Francisco.
 Discussing the presidents physical condition the correspondent says:
 His face is not distorted in the slightest degree, as some or the un- friendly versions of his illness have asserted. The Wilson face is much the same as it was, though it bears the impress of great physical suffer- ing.
 stAfter he had worked and we had talked for an hour, the President walked from his office chair on the balcony to the movies in the east room, slowly, cautiously, but with confidence.''
 The correspondent described the movements of the President about the White House and said:
 '"The very best proof of the great improvement in the Presidents phy, sica1 condition was provided when he mounted three improvised wooder steps and entered the motor car with only such assistance as would naturally be given to a person con valescing from serious il1ness.'' The President walked with a sligh limp and used a cane, according tt the correspondent.

 FOR ROBBERIES
 OF AUTOMOBILES
cContinued from Page One. !,

The police have succeeded in recov- ering a portion of the property stolen from the garages, but the men who have been arrested claim that many of the tires and tubes were stolen a second time from the place where they had "planted' them. Detectives journeyed to Trumbull this morning, to bring back a quantity of the loot
 According to statements said to have been made by the alleged burg lars, Helmerick, Bassett and Koranil- ski are responsible for the actual rob- berries. Sternberg is said to have re- ceived a portion of the stolen goods, paying $50 for four autoan obile tires. Sternberg is the proprietor of "a res taurant in Henry street.
 A fifth arrest was made in the case this morning, when detectives brought in Daniel Bowden, a roomer at IFS Prospect street. Bowden is alleged to have taken an active part in the rob- berries.
 All of the men, with the exception of Bowden, were arraiSned in the City court this morning, and the cases were continued until Tuesday. Bonds were fixed at $1 GOO in each case The de- tective department expects to have an investigation of the 1atter entirely completed within a few days

PATR0LMAN IS
 HELD IN FAIRFIELD

Alleged to have been operating a car while under the influence of H- quor, and to have driven his car into
 a telephone pole in Southport in order to avoid Q collision with a machine operated by Herbert Beers of West port. Patro1man Frank J. Barta, of
 York street, a member of the Bridge
 port police department, was arrested last night in Fairfield by Deputy
 Sheriff William H. Gould, on charges
 of breach of the peace. John Mo roski, proprietor of a saloon in Will
 lard street, who was with Barta at
 the time, was also placed under ar
 rest, and is said to have been a par
 ticipant in the rumpus. Both men
 have been released from custody un-
 der bonds of s1OO, and will he ar
 raigned before the Fairfield town
 court Thursday morning.
 The arrest of Barta and MoroSk
 followed a near-colliSion on the Bos-
 ton Post road in Southport Beers is
 alleged to have been travelling west
 at the time, and the Barta car was
 proceeding towards Bridgeport. Barta drove his machine into pole in order to avoid an accident, and during the argument which followed the police man and his friend are said to have become extremely abusive. It is a1- legged that Barta flashed his police badge and also threatened to shoot anyone who attempted to interfere with him.
 Beers telephoned to Deputy Sheriff Gould and the officer stopped the i Bridgeporters as they passed through Fairfield. Both men are said to have threatened the officer, but he made the arrest nevertheless. When arraigned before Judge Wake man, in the Fairfield court last night, | Barta and Moroski continued their clustering.
 It was said this morning, that l both men are now being held on | charges of breach of the peace, but | these will undoubtedly be changed | before the date of their trial Supt l John H. Redgate has received no off, ! cia1 report of Patro1man Barta's ac- , tions, but it is probable that the off | cer will be suspended if a complaint | is entered. Patrolman Barta is on 1 duty in the First Precinct, but could 1 not be located this morning.
