Rube Ruth of the Red Sox nnd Fit die Schupp of the Giants were the most effective pitchers in their re spective leajxues during the pnst sea son, nnd both of them are left-huntlers. This Is one of the things that marks the development of baseball. In the early days of the same a southpaw was n rare nrtlele. The National league was organized In lSTfl, nnd during its first ten years of existence there were, so far as we know. Just about seven good left-handers in fast company. These were Rich mond, Raldwln. Shaw, Morris, Casey, Ramsey and Cushman. Today tbere are ten times that many jiort-siders n the reserve lists of the two big leagues. No pitching staff is considered complete without at least a couple of good ones. Yet, in 40 years of organized baseball it Is prob able that not over fifty southpaws real ly have made good. It Is easy to look back and recall most of the better ones since those early days. It Is a short list: Rreiten- (?:t :? : H Y A Babe Ruth. stein. Esper. Clausen. McCill. White, Alt rock, Klobedanx, Ilannehiil, Lei f eld, Pfelster, Waddelt, tVlltse and. of course, that ageless veteran. Eddie Plank. Half of this number were only ordinary pitchers. Three or four of them at most be long in a class with such great right handers as Keefe. Radbourne. Clark son. Carruthers, Ging. Ehret. Meekln, Young. Rusie, Nichols. McGinnlty, Overall, Donovan, Mullln, Walsh, Wood. Adams, Coombs, Bender, Math ewson, Johnson and Alexander. Wad dell belongs in this class and so does Wlltse. one of the greatest of south paws and a pitcher who never was given the general recognition he de served. In the eight years previous to last season only twice did a left-hander top one of the big leagues In the rec ords of the pitchers. In 1908 the lead ers were Reulbach and Walsh ; In 1909 they were Camnitz and Mullln, and in 1910 they were Cole and Bender. Mar quard was the most effective twlrler in the National league in 1911. but Covington led Johnson's organization. Rendrix and Wood were In front in 1912. Mathewson and Johnson In 1913. In 1914 Leonard was first In the Amer ican league and Doak in the National. Alexander and Wood were the leaders In 1915, Marquard and Leonard, there fore, were the only southpaws to lead their leagues In a decade, but things appear to be looking up for the-clan. Beside Ruth and Schiipp, the big league now have such left-handers as "Old Man" I'lank, Marquard. Leonard, Rliey. Sallee, Benton. Covelekl, Cul lop. Nehf, Vaughn, Smith. Tyler, Mog rldge, Koob, Harper, Russell and Staler. HUGGINS FEELS QUITE SAFE Manager of St. Louis Cardinals Confi dent He Has Strong Corpa of Catchers Snyder Leads. Manager Miller Hoggins of the 8t Louis Cardinals feels pretty safe re garding his catching department Frank Snyder seems set for a big come back, while Jack Roche, recalled from Portland, seems to have been cured of the lame arm that troubled him for several years. These two will give Hoggins a chance to use Mike Gonzales regularly on first base, with the recruit Williams la reserve. Hoggins plans to carry an entire second string Infield this year. ilMi! iiHIi i; niliili !'!'!
