NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-East-han1 batters are increasing ont of all pro portion as compared with the in- crease of lefrhanl pitchers, accord ing to President John 1Ieydler Of the National Baseball League. Fur thermore. the biggest and most bril- liant drawing cards of the game to- day are thoso who perform sensa- 'tionally with the stick rather than in the pitchers box.
 Just glance at the facts and figures said Heydler, "and you will find that the most prominent bats men of today are portsiders with very few exceptions. Of course Rog CTS Hornsby is the big exception
 Reasons Advanced
 'It lis debatable question why we have had this tendency to left hand batters. Many believe the left handler is generally better because he is nearer first base and there fore should get there more quickly. Then some folks add that a left handler always has been able to bunt better than a right-hand batter. Records will show that more left- handlers bunt successfully year in and year out than do right-handers.
 Now, some have said that the National League could be called the school of night hand batters. and the American League the school Of the left-hander. This theory started over phe long rivalry that existed between Wagner. rlght-hand batter, and Ty Cobb, who as we all know. stands on the opposite side of the plate when he swings. In my opinion, Wagner was the greatest right-han1- CT of them all, although many fans believe Pop Anson the greatest.

 Consider, however. that pitching is very strenuous, much more So than outficld.ng. And consider, too, that Johnson had to do most of ii for Washington for years and years.
