Yankees VIII Sho1O Fighting
Spirit of Venerable Ancestors

President Frank ]. Farrell, of the New
York American league team. is confident
| that the Yankees will not be thrown
! from the saddle when the season starts.
He predicts that Stallings, having big
squad of pitchers, young and speedy IN
fielders and husky Outnelders who can
hit. will give Gotham's fandom several
joltS in the solar pleXuS of conversation.
Farrell, who returned from the Hanks
training camp at Athens, pins compll-
ments on the work that is being done by
Pitcher Jack Warhop, one OF the great
est stumbling blocks with which the
champion Tigers had to deal last sea-
SON WarhCp will be among the first
seven pitchers, declares FarfeH.
The big twirler, who can as yet hardly
be cassed as a veteran, went under fire
for the first time Tuesday. He pitched
for the Yanigans against the regular
Yanks. The Vans won D to j.
While Warhop was hit for nome run
by Jack knight, the pitcher with the un-
derhand delivery held the big Smokes
to three hits. He was puzzle when
taps meant tallies.
''The HighlanderS will be very fast this
year unless present indications amount
to ncthing" says President Farrell. 'Of
course the players have not had a chance
to extend themselves at tne training
camp in the south, but they have shown
enough to convince both Stallings ard
myself that the team has been greatly
strengthened. In appointing Hal Chase
captain of the Highlanders the premium
has been placed on speedy play and
ginger, Chase has begun his new task
with all kinds of enthusiasm and the
players are with him to man:

a chance to see Johnson work out at his
best, but this boy Foster looks like
coming star. He was a bit under the
weather last week and of course did not
show his best quality, but he's of major
league calibre sure.
Harry Wolter will probably play right
field permanently. He is a natural bats
man, a great sprinter and beautiful
fielder and throWer. We were very |
lucky to land this fine young player and !

ATHENS is a splendid place for training

Iighlanders will train there again next
