Start’s left hand comes in handily for first-base playing, but Pike’s left-hand throwing weakens the second-base play, as it necessarily must do in every instance. But the Atlantics, like the Athletics, have no one who can do better at second-base then their left-handed men, Pike and Reach, and therefore they have to keep them there.
