State League to Sign Stars to Save Basketball Hazleton. Pa., Dec, 6.—The Eastern League being in shaky condition ow ing to lack of support as a result ot the war, managers of Pennsylvania State League teams at once got busy to sign the stars released from their contracts. Nearly every club in the; state circuit will get one or more of the Eastern League men. Their ac quisition will make the State League fastest in the east and will greatly boost the game, interest in which continues unabated in spite of the war. Hazleton, occupying last place is most in need of strengthening and is hot after new players. HARRISBTJRG 1 TELEGRAPH CARLISLE STARS HEED WAR CALL; j IN Y.M.C.A.WORK j Carlisle. Pa..

AGAINST LEFT-HANDERS | Eddie Collins prov ed well enough that the proper sort of left-handed \ i batsman is under no great handicap facing left-handers from the riHe pit. In the late seircs Eddie put in most of his time facing southpaws. He stood against Sallee, Schupp and Benton, with only a few scattered shots at Poll Perritt. Yet Collins emerged with an average well above .400. The answer as to why a good left-handed batter can't hit a good left handed pitcher is simple enough. He can.
