SAYS

H1T]1 HESE are great days for
the left-handed pitchers. -
- recently remarked Lefty"
Leifeld, assistant to Manager Lee
Foil of the Boston Red Sox.
In his day, Leifeld was one of the
games greatest southpaws. Ger
tainly no one is better qualified to
express an opinion as to pitchers,
southpaws in particular.
1T should be no great trick for
southpaw to win twenty games
in the majors this year. The an
nouncement that lefr-hander is to
pitch is almost enough to whip some
clubs"
FRS HIRE is no denying the fact
II left-handers are having a big
- year in both major leagues.
At one time the southpaws were
used almost exclusively against clubs
having many left-handed hitters in
the lineup.
Recently the portside pitchers have
been equally successful against clubs
top-heavy with right-handed hitters.
Why should a left-handed batter
find it more difficult to hit a south
paw than a right-hander facing
right-handed pitching?
("1 HAT is a deep mystery that
remains to be explained.
~ There doesn't seem to be
any logical reason for such a con-
dition. yet it exists.
When 1 asked Leifeld, famous
southpaw of other days. for his So
! luton. he replied:
at just seems to be. 1t IS my
opinion it is largely mental The
hazard is there and the players quit
under it.
THE greatest left hand hitters do
not fear southpaw pitching. Cobb,
Collins, Speaker. Roush, Sisler and
the rest hit the port-siders about as
well as the right handlers.
"Yet there are certain left-handed
hitters who murder right-handed
pitching, who are helpless against
southpaws. That one thing keeps
them from being classed as great
hitters."
If the New York Yankees fail to
repeat in the American League, in
| all probability the reason will be
too much southpaw pitching. The
| Yanks are getting a steady diet
Of it.
MEXICAN League managers
n n seem to think one way to
IL beat the Yankees is to south
paw them at every opportunity.
When Detroit approaches a series
with the world champs Cobb saves
Whitehill, Wells and Cole, his trio
of southpaws.
Cleveland slips the Yanks Sherry
Smith and Joe Shaute.
When st. Louis faces the Yankees,
the teams two leading southpaws,
Danforth and Wingard, are always
called on.

Expert Tennis Talks
By Mercer BeasIey-

RI ENNIS ranks with the sci
entif1c sports, with bill
G lizards, golf and finer forms
of baseball. Very frequently the
most important matches are de-
cided by eyelash margins. Making
the most Of the call of the toss"
a seemingly unimportant detail,
sometimes starts player out on
the road to victory.
Not enough attention is given to
the possibilities of winning the
toss. Yet it has its advantages
no less than those in football when
a captain calls the toss. of the coin
correctly and elects to defend the
goal with the wind in his favor.
The First Break"
In tennis 1 think the advantages
are even greater. UnQuestionably
the player who wins the toss also
wins the first break" He has
the choice Of service or court. In
the cup matches some pretty keen
thinking is done on this point.
II a player has 1t figured that he
can break through his opponents
serve on the first game and win his
own service on the second game
he will let the other fellow serve
first. In most cases, however, the
toss winner serves first. The serv-
er is usually the attacker and it
is up to him TO show what he can
do.
This may give you an idea of
the value of calling the toss cor
rectly. Say it is a close match, and
each player has won his service up
to four-all in games.
The Advantage
The service then would be in the
hands Of the player who won the
toss, and If he won that game he
would be in the lead and within
one game of winning the set.
This is an important advantage
as any tennis player knows. 1t
means that the leading player can
afford to take all the chances,
whereas his opponent must adopt

the most cautious and careful sort
of program.
Give a little thought to the toss
the next time you call rough" or
smooth" 1t means something
more than just starting the match
off.
