StengeFs Pitching Choices
Test Left-Right Theories
Pilots Fixution
On Strategy May
Take q BIustino
BY BURTON HAWKINS

One of the favored theories of
baseball managers-that left
handed pitching can apply the
brakes to lefthanded batters, and
vice versa-will be tested thor
oughly in today's All-Star game
at Griffith Stadium, with Casey
Stengel, American League man
ager, going all out to prove the
point.
Stengel'S tentative decision to
stack three lefthanded pitchers
against the National League sets
up an interesting situation. Most
of the National Leagues power
in its starting lineup is composed
of lefthanded batters-Stan Mu-
sial, Ed Bailey. Gus Bell and
Dale Long.
Stengel doutless is aware, too,
that Frank Robinson, another
better of authority in the Ma
tional Leagues starting array,
has slammed vast majority of
his home runs against right
handed pitching despite the fact
he's a righthanded hitted. This
operates against that theory, but
it's functioning in Casey's favor
and the shrewd Yankees pilot
NverlookS few bets.
Idea Overplayed?
There long has been a sus-
picion nursed by many fans that
This aspect of baseball has been
overplayed-that managers have
fallen so much in love with the
idea of becoming strategists that
many of their moves appear
ridiculous.
Some baseball folk are of the
opinion that rlghthanded hitters
OF talent will hit righthanded
pitchers of skill if kept in the
lineup. Otherwise how did Ty
Cobb. Babe Ruth, Al Simmons,
Harry Heilmann, Rogers Horns
by, ETC., maintain those high
; averages over the years?
They made the grade, some
what emphatically. Now, though.
when lefthanded pitcher
trudges in from the bullpen, re-
CARELESS of that pitchers quail
ity, righthanded hitter is sent
to the plate. A righthanded
pitcher who energies from the
bullpen generally will discover a
lefthanded hitter selecting a bat
from the rack, ready to pinch
hit tor that drafted Highlander
who was slated to hit.
Burden on Trio
So, in the late innings, second
, baSemen become leftfielders,
, third basemen become second
basemen and first basemen go
behind the plate as a result of
all the furious shifting.

The first three pitches from
the Senators Chuck Stobbs to
Ted Williams in batting practice
today were low and wide and
Williams let all three go by.
What do you think this is,
a ball game?" Williams yelled
to StobbS. That's the way you
pitch me when we're playing

Williams hit his next-to-last
pitch far over the rightfield
fence. but there was no more
expression than when he fouled
a couple back.
Jim Piersall followed Williams
into the batting cage and the
Yankees Charley Silvera, the
batting practice catcher, asked
Piersall if he wanted to bunt
one.

majors.

he will bat lefthanded against
