The left-handed hitter who settles down in the batting box and takes a "toe hold" against right-handed pitching, but who fails to hit left-handed tossing with equal ability, is going to have a tough time of it this season in the American league. Never have southpaws been more plentiful. Plank, Hamilton, Weil-man, Weil-man, and Koob are with St. Louis. Russell, Danforth, and Williams are with the White Sox; Leonard, Ruth, Collins, and Gregg are among the port-side flingers with the Boston Red Sox; Coveleskie and Oldham are at Detroit; Harper Har-per and Boehling represent Washington; Coumbe will be met at Cleveland, Philadelphia has Bressler, and Morgridge and Cullop are only two of the several left-handers at present owned by the Yanks.
