presented by a leading article in the

The killing frosts which visited
the ORANGE, lemon and grapefruit

eEtailed enormous losses unon the
fruit growers and have lcsscned the
supplies of these fruits for the on

millions of dollars 1t is a hard
blow to thousands of persons resi-

others resident in other States but
financially interested in the fruit
orchards Of that State. Florida so
far has had no destructive frosts

says that he has little doubt of ability

Team, Says Senator
By SENATOR"

Daniels look pretty good to father. All
100 hitters, ana, with the exception OF
Lelivelt, fast on their feet, these gar
deners should hold their own. Roy
Hartzell. while a savage hitter. is not
classy enough to break into that
charmed circle, though he looks good
to be the utility outfielder. IL he fails
to land a regular berth in the infield.
But no matter what skill there IL in
that outfield 1t will be nullified IL the in
field is as week as 1t was last year. At
times last season Ford had to play
second base. This will hardly be seen
this year under Chance. He knows his
business better than Wolverton.
Has Fine Pitchers.
The twfr1ers of the Yankees look good,
on paper. at least. Ford, Mcconnell,
Warhop, Caldwell. and Fisher have
shown their class in the big show. In
der the shTewd handling of Chance. they
should pitch excellent ball, particularly
when paired with Ed Sweeney. one OF
the best backstops IN the game.
Youngsters with the Yankees who
should make some records are George
Al Schulz, the big southpaw from Sa-
vannah; Paddy Green, from the Con-
necticut League, and Ray Keating, who
was the New England Leagues sensa-
ton in 1912. Indeed, the battery players
will hardly worry Chance much.
With a good start. that is, as to con-
dition, the Yankees may fool a whole lot
of US. But the grim fact remains that
making ball club Is a tough task, and
when you have to make an infield
you're up against about as tough a job
as there is in the great national pas
time. Thats Chances job Tor 1918. and
figuring the New York club in the first
division this season.
The Washington times., 1913-02-24

If F. Leroy Chance succeeds in whip
ping an infield together. the Yankees
viii be a fighting team, though il has
inherent weaknesses sufficient to keep
it out of the first division. But the
New York club is certain to play better
baseball this season than it did last.
Chance assures that by his mere pres.
ence on the field. whether it be on first
base or the bench.
The Yankees chief weakness is that
infield. First base is well covered
by either Chance or Chase. If Chase
plays second, he may electrify baseball
or he may be a gigantic failure. None
dares hazard a guess. 1t is known what
he can do a first, but second base for 4
southpaw is strange to the big leagues.
Claude Derrick. the long person who
subbed for Jack Barry and Eddie Col
iins in Philadelphia is a cracking good
fielder and many fill that yaWning gap
at short. Jack Martin, who has recov-
cred from Walter Jobnson's shifting OF
last spring, is another lively customer
TO work around that short field.
At third Young MidlSif made favor
able impression last year, but Roy
Hartzell is already at work getting into
shape to make a bid for the job. Young
HARRISON, from Atlanta, is a shortstop,
but he may be switched to third or Sec
ond. If he shows hitting ability.
Is Hard Problem.
The infield is hard problem for the
Peerless Leader. Undoubtedly he will
show us several sets of infieiders in the
early days of the coming campaign. He
knows that he will have a good team, if
only tNat infield can deliver the goods
at the right time.
The outfield is almost as good as set
tied now. Walter, Cree, Lelivelt, and
