2 vS THE OMAHA SITNDAY BEE: MAY 28. 1916. ! SOUTHPAWSGET JUST DUES Sidewinders Regarded as an Espe cially Valuable Asset in the American League. ARE POWERS AS HITTERS New York, May 27. It may be true, as Chief Meyers once remarked to Fred Tenney, that al! left-handers are queer, only sonic are queerer than others. But in spite of their inher ited handicap the sidewinders are coming into their own in base ball. They are becoming a mighty power and in the American league especially they are about as valuable a pitching asset as a club can boast of. When Manager Bill Donovan, in cutting down his club to the player limit the other day, kept Slim Love, the towering southpaw, in preference to two promising right-handers he further emphasized the importance of the left-hander. That selection gave him three left handed pitchers in Love, Cullop and Mogridge. There are those who claim that three southpaws are too many for any club. In the National league and other circuits tliat may be true, but it docs not apply to the Johnson league. "If I were a manager in the Ameri can league," said a vcjeran ball player the other day, who is himself a left hand hitter and knows from experi ence what he is talking about, "I would carry a pitching staff top heavy with left-handers. With prac tically all of the great, hitters in the league left-handers, I thing that left hand pitching would win more games in the long run than right-handed pitching and I venture to say that some of the batting averages would come down sharply as the result. Many Southpaw Sluggers. "Take all the great hitters in the American league and almost without exception they are left-handed bat ters. There are Cobb, Crawford, Eddie Collins, Baker, Fonmier, Jack eon and I'ipp, just to mention a few who stand out as the most dangerous sluggers in the circuit. Now, it is my contention, and my experience, that it takes left-handed pitching to top left-handed hitting. "I claim that you can beat any club in the American league with the ex ception of Washington, more con sistently with left-handers than with right-handers. Washington is the only elub that has no really dangerous left handers. What they call the dyna mite in the batting order of most of the other clubi is composed of left handed hitters. Take Detroit as a starter, because they have the best hitting club in the league. Cobb, Crawford and Veach are the hitters, and they are all left handers. They either score or drive in more runs than the rest of the club put together. If you can stop Cobb, Crawford and Veach you have De troit stopped dead in ils Jracks, ior the rest of the elub it hardly up to the average. "The White Sox hatting order is much the same. The real power is centered in Eddie Collins, Fournier and Jackson, hitting third, fourth and fifth, and all swinging from the off side of the plate. Any time they are not hitting Chicago is not winning. There was a good instance of that when Mogridge beat Chicago a few days ago. He struck out Collins three times, Fournier once and Jackson failed to get a hit. Effective Against Yankees. "The Yankees are in much the same boat as the others. Left-handers are more effective against them. Baker and Pipp are the dangerous hitters. They are the only ones that really make the opposing pitchers nervous. And the result is that the Yanks have faced left-handers in every series. The other managers are playing to their weakness. Jf they had faced right handers all this season, they would probably be leading the league now. - The Yankees showed what they could do with left-handers against Boston and Philadelphia and St. Louis, while not as strong-hitting clubs as the others, can be best handled with the southpaws. Shot ton and Sisler re the bad men in the Browns, and Strunk and Mclnniss are trouble makers with the Ath letics. Any time Strunk gets on the bases the Maekmcn are apt to score, for he worries a pitcher. "They will tell you that hitters like Cobb, Speaker or Baker will hit as well against one kind of pitching as another. 1 don't mean to say that you can make poor hitters of them by pitching left-handers again! them. But to say that no left-handed hitter likes a southpaw better than a right-hander. They can't hit that curve going away from them like they can hit on that brraks in for them. And that it the answer. If the great hitters in the league hap pened to be right handers the south pajj would not be of much value." That this theory is now pretty gen erally recognised in the Arurruan league i militated by the number of IrSthajxted pitcheti. 11oki.hi Ii.h thrre.Vnd won a pennant lat season.

Horsemen are predicting that Mr. Dennison and Mr. Smith will keep him busy, too. Mr. Ronin is carded to drive Babe King, known as the world's fastest pacing pony, in an exhibition mile. The pony is owned by Miss Frances Dennison. Horsemen quartering at the Ben son track are busy preparing for the three days' meeting of the Nebraska Midway Racing circuit June 8, 'J and 10. Trainers put in a successful week with their charges, the interest at the track being noticeably stimulated by the arrival of several new strings. New Arrivals at Benson. Hal Brown, a former Nebraskan, showed up during the week with a likely looking string. Mr. Brown sev eral years ago had much success with his two pacers, Ginger and Don, fast ones that made them all step some throughout the middle west. Walter Pike blew in from faraway Louisiana for the June meeting with a stable, of sleek-looking animals, uca'led by the old campaigner, frank lin Pierce, a horse that is expected to lie a strong contender in the free-for all on the Benson program.

BIG WEEK FOR TRAPSHOOTER Five State Championships Are Scheduled for the Next Seven Days. THE SPORT IS NEW IN FLORIDA New York, May 27. State trap shooting champions will be turned out in batches for the next few weeks, for until the beginning of the "dog days" there will be from three to six state trapshooting tournaments weekly. Four championships have al ready been decided in the states of Oklahoma, Georgia, Missouri and Mississippi. From this time, however, the championships are more closely scheduled. The week at hand, for instance, has five state championships listed. They are to be held in Oregon, Kansas, Pennsylvania,. New Hampshire and Florida. This is the twenty-sixth championship tournament for Penn sylvania trapshooters, and the first fur Florida. Pennsylvania has the old est trapshooting organization in ex istence, and Florida the youngest, for the Sunshine state organization is less than two months old. In Twenty-three States. This week, too, will be the biggest of the present season for tourna ments, as thirty-one are registered with the Interstate association. These thirty-one will be held in twenty three states, as follows: Illinois, three; Kansas, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Nebraska and Iowa, two, and Arizona, Oregon, Indiana Missouri, Massachusetts, New Mex ico, West Virginia, Arkansas, Penn sylvania, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Wisconsin, California, Florida and Washington, one each. Twenty-five tournaments were con ducted last week and twentv-one tlie week previous. Week by week the number grows. Already 466 tourna ments nave been registered for this year, as against 3M last year, This proved beyond all doubt the ques tion of renewed interest and activity in trapsnootmg as a sport. While every tournament and cham plonship is of more or less interest to the shooters in their respective territory, there is alwavs one event which is larger than all the rest, Ore gon will have a big shoot, the biggest Oregon has ever had, for there is more interest on the Pacific coast this year than ever before. Kansas and New Hampshire will stage good- sized tournaments, and Florida will surprise the trapshooting world by the number of entries in its classic event. I he Kisstmmee club has in terested the city and countv authori ties in making the championship one to oe rcmemuerea. Most Interest in Penn State. The Pennsylvania tournament, however, will top all the others, be cause of the immense size of the state and the accessibility of the place in which the shoot is to he held Lansdale, just outside of Philadel phia. Three thousand dollars in cash and sixty trophies will he awarded the scatter gun bugs, and as an added attraction there will be a shoot in which $1,000 worth of mer chandise will be given. One hundred and fifty-six clubs are members of the Pennsylvania State association, and if each club enters two shooters in the tournament it will be the lari?- est state tourney in the country. The present Pennsylvania champion is Ltiaries n. wewcomb, who is also national amateur champion. In all these years the champion has repeat ed but once in the Pennsylvania championship, Fred" Coeman win ning in 1X)3 and 1907. Newcomb may repeat, but the "dope" is against him. In the Pennsylvania state shoot there will also be a 100-target event for women, which will decide the women's championship of the state. This is the first trapshooting cham pionship ever staged for the fair Di anas oi the traps, therefore, unusual in'erest is being taken in the num ber that will turn out. Illinois also has a women's championship listed for its v shoot the next week. The feeling is that it is only a matter of two or three years when every state will have its women's state cham pionship event, for the members of the fair sex are very much interested in the doings of the sport-alluring these bright days.

Golf Championship At Del Monte,-Cal. Lacks Many Entries New York, May 27. From corre spondence received in this section it hegins to appear that the western amateur gold championship is in the strict sense, not to be a western af fair at all, but a purely Pacific coast and northwest event, with, indeed, not too much participation, even by the men from the northwest. It is possible that Chandler Egan, who came back to the game last year after a long absence, will niake the trip to Del Monte, and the east will be represented, in a sense, by Hein rich Schmidt, who has moved to that section, but who first made a repu tation when a resident of Massachu setts. The cancellation of the special train from Chicago in the interests of amateurism made it out of the ques tion for many of the players 1n and about Chicago to make the trip. Others who were not banking on the special train have found it impossible to spare the time, which'they would have been glad to devote to it had there been the prospect of a repre sentative field at Del Monte. The course there is beautiful, if not per haps the very best test of tournament golf imaginable, but the long cross country jump is too much for the players of the middle western sec tion. This year's western championship, therefore, will lack the entry of Rob ert A. Gardner, the national amateur champion, and himself a westerner; that of Sawyer, who has always been prominent in the western, and the western champion himself, Chick Evans. Evans, having won the event four times, wss determined to give it up this year, hut trniporarily changed hi mind in tinier to help out th ront men just aa he helped thm out laat year, by plavins; some won derful golf in the reposition tourna ment.

Billy Gibson, who is engineering the venture, has practically completed arrangements for the proposed expedition of Amer ican boxers to Buenos Ayres next month to take part in a monster pu gilistic carnival which will be one of the features in the general celebra tion of that city's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. "Gib" was com missioned by a representative of ths Argentine Republic to plan the in vasion and secure the talent, and he is now only awaiting the return of that agent from Washington, where he went to confer with the minister to this country, before announcing the details of the project. Gibson is counting on about twenty-five men making the twenty-four day trip from this country. At the present time he has a lull score "ribbed up" for the journey. These are: Freddie Welsh, world's light weight champion; Jack Britton, Bat tling Levinsky, Matt Wells, former hnglish lightweight champion: rrank Loughrey, Jim Savage, 'AVila Burt" Kenny, Augie Rattier, Knockout Eg gers, Eddie Campi, Sailor Grande, Harry Palmer, the Pittsburgh ban tamweight; Billy Fitzsimmons, Frankie Daly, Harry Wills, Sam Mc Vey, Tex Kelly and Tommy Robin son. The men, with the exception of Welsh, will be signed for two matches, with an option of two more. They will all receive a flat guarantee with first-class transportation and ex penses both ways.. The guarantees and transportation, Gibson figures, will amount to about $150,OOOT Most of the bouts will be staged in the city of Buenos Ayres. If present facili ties are found to be inadequate or undesirable a special arena will be built. The matches will be fought during July and August and it is pro posed to stage them twice or thrice a week, each show to consist of two fifteen-round bouts and one twenty rounder. World's Championship Bouts. Two of the bouts will be world's championship affairs, Welsh defend ing his title against White and Brit ton defending his self-claimed welter weight championship against Lewis. The other men will be matched among themselves or with local talent down there. There are good, bad and in different boxers among the invaders. The assortment is a heterogeneous one. "We couldn't take all first-class men down," explains Gibson. "The object of the campaign is to popular ize boxing in the Argentine, The na tives have only a few sports. The little boxing they have seen made a big hit. They have some local talent, but as the game is Just beginning to gain a foothold this talent naturally does not compare with our best. There are a tew American boxers living down there, who are looked upon as champions, but who were nothing more than mere preliminary boys up here. If we sent all our good men there the game would be dead after they came back, for they would clean up. The men behind this scheme wish to develop locat talent." Gibson Enthusiastic. I Gibson is enthusiastic over the pos sibilities of the Welsh-White and Britton-Lewis trip. He says it is planned to charge from $5 to $10 for the Welsh-White and Britton-Lewis bouts. Prices for lesser matches, of course, will not be so great. Britton and Lewis will meet local men before meeting each other. Some of the matches Gibson has in mind are Le vinsky against Trojas or Marchand, the French light-heuvywelght, now in Buenos Ayres; White against Wells, McVey against Wills and Grenda against Bisirtrt. The pro gram, however, will be adjusted after the arrival of the Americans. "The venture is practically a sure thing," declared Gibson. "The only thing that can possibly 'gum the works' is the method of paying the boxers who make the trip. I intend to protect the boys in every way, and the first stipulations I insisted upon when the matter was broached to me was that American referees officiate in the bouts; that the boxing rules as adopted by the New York State' boxing commission govern all con tests; that their purses either be de posited in full with me or to my credit in a New York bank before they step aboard ship. I have no douht that these concessions will be granted. The men interested in the promotion of the trip are most anx ious to introduce boxing in the Ar gentine, and they command hacking for an enormous amount. Within the next few days 1 expect to hav everything all arranged. TEN THOUSAND COAL DIGGERS ARE WANTED FOR WAR WORK dirraarnnrtftn-4 f tha Aaan-lata.1 Praaa London, April JO.

SIMPSON HIM UP TIGERS Missouri Star Is Expected to Win Three Events in Western J Conference Meet MAY WIN PLACES IN OTHERS Chicago, May 27. If Bob Simp son's fellow Missourians give him fair support, the Tigers may be ex pected to cut heavily into -the point total at the conference meet at Evanston, June 3. Figures show that Simpson's records are better in four events than those of Big Nine ath letes Entered and if he runs true to form he should score fifteen points along for his team, granting him first place in the both hurdle events and the broad jump. In the dual meet with Kansas the other day, Simpson won the 100-yard dash and the 220 in ad dition to those three, but his time was 101-5 -econds, which marks him as slower in that event than several of the conference sprinters and Bergman of Notre Dame who in meets this spring have done the century in 10 flat. Hoyt of Grinnell, perhaps the best 220-yard dash man in the coun try, is likely to beat Simpson in the furiong, which the Missourian won in 0:22 flat. On paper the meet will be a close one, with first places well distributed and the final honors in points prob ably will be settled by seconds, thirds and fourths. The numerical strength of Illinois' team gives the Orange and Blue the best chance in that case, but Wisconsin, and probably Mis souri, may be expected to figure in strongly. Arlie Mucks, the best shot putter in the country now and holder of the intercollegiate record in the discus throw, is practically sure of garnering points for Wisconsin in other outdoor events the hammer and javelin so that the Cardinal probably will give Illinois a closer battle than was the case a,t the indoor meet last March. The Illinois squad will suffer from fiercer competition tn other events and though Ames and Bush are likely to crowd Simpson closely in the hur dles, the winning points they gath ered in the indoor meet will be lack ing in part.

Women Are the Efeal Buyers of Autos "Automobile manufactures as a rule have been slow to realize that the women of a family buy the car in an ever-increasing number of cases," sad W. E. Stalnakef, vice president and director of sales of the Path finder company. "If accurate figures could he secured of the sales of au tomobiles during the last year, I be lieve you would find that it was the feminine portion of the family which decided in four-fifths of the sales to whom the check should be made out. "In most homes, the purchase of a motor car is a real event. The pros pective and relative merits of each car are thought about, talked about and planned for. Before the sale is consummated, the manufacturer of the lucky car which the ladies fi nally decide upon must create a firm confidence in the car purchased,' through his product itself, his poli cies' and his salesmanship."
