Show Ambidextrous Duel Won Finally by the Batter An ambidextrous pitcher encountered encoun-tered a batter likewise talented in a recent game and the result was a base on balls. Paul Richards, shortstop, who throws equally well with either hand, was put in the Muskogee box in a Western association game with To-peka To-peka after two regular pitchers had been knocked out. All went well until un-til Wilson, a switch batter, came to bat. Richards wound up left handed and Wilson took the right hand side of the plate. The pitcher changed his glove and Wilson hopped to the other side of the plate. After several changes Richards discarded his glove and wound up with both hands in the air. Pitching alternately with his right and left hand, Richards walked the batter. |
