Savannah. March 11.-This was such
a day as you might find around New
York late in May. II was all yellow
and blue from the sun and sky, with
out breath Of air to even bring a
culver TO the smoke which drifted up
lazily in straight columns. And while
the Giants were reported to be SILVER
ing in the Texas snow belt the highly
elated Yanks were romping through
another ball game.
At the finish Of this game the count
stood to in favo- Of the regulars.
When the count was posted Jack war
hon shook his head a bit sadly. or, at
least. with something of wlstful
wacgle. II hope" said Jack, that it
isn't the same old stuff 1t seems to
re that | have seen score like that
before"
The same hope was expressed by
most of the slabmen. But Jack War
hop had right TO deeper forebodlngs
than the others. For Jack can look
back to last season and remember the
following incidents involved with his
pitching career as a member Of the
Yanks: % Five l TO defeats Inch
he suffered. 90 Five games in which
he allowed only runs without win
ming one Of them. ~ Eleven games
lost by one run where his pitching was
Of high quality.
No wonder Jack was a trlhe serious
as he inspected the days score at
tached to little batting.
Take those eleven games lost by one
run. If he had received any batting
support it would have been simple
matter 10 have converted them INTO
eleven victories. In which case ms
record. in place Of being eight won and
fifteen lost. would have been nineteen
won and four lost. Quite difference
The Yanks put up sprighuy article
Of ball in the field and in the box, but
the batting was again zephyry, or a.
east. far from fulsome. only seven
swats were gathered IN seven innings
by both clubs. This makes total o.
fourteen base hits in two days by both
teams. an average allotment Of three
ard halr hits to the club per game.
II is. OF course. too early TO Judge
any club at this stage. and II IS well to
remember that the pitching mas Deeh
first class for carly March. But, even
taking all this under consideration, Il
big change must arrive for the 1anks
to be classed as strong offensive ma
chine. Defensivcly they are on par
with any in the league. But mere IS
vet no sign of any rugged rabid at
tack that is backed up by the wallop
or the old kick.
The main batting was done by Frltz
Maisel. who gathered two lusty doubles
for himself. Fritz Was out for re-
vengc. 1t seems that he and Roger
Peckinpaugh arose and went out early
for a round of golf. II was agreed
that the match was TO be play, Tor all
the golf balls used the caddle
fares. Arriving at the eighteenth tee
Fritz and Peck were all square
But on reaching the green Peck sent
down a 10-foot putt, and then Frltz
proceeded 30 bloy a short one only
twelve inches from the cup. Accord
ing to Roger, Fritz came near gulplng
down the putter in his rage over such
an unexpected and costly aux y. d,
So the minute the ball game started
Maiscl began flashing out savagelY AT
anything in reach, his blows resulting
in two long drives for extra bases.
Smiling Bill keeps all hands going
even during kit libtl MUSEUM -
ample, while other pitchers were work
ing in the game he had Heating warm
ing u with Farrell for a long work
out and Caldwell and WARRIOR bunting
and fielding hunts. The player who
isn't in the game is - 1usy q or
buster than the one who is.
Marty McIlale had a short con-
ference With Captain Huston and Don
ovan. with the result that ey- -ything
will be o. X. an complete under
standing cred.
Doc Cook raped one through the box
that came near tearing away Ray
Fishers shapely limbs. A wild peg to
first resulted and Doc Wa force TO
circle IN bases at top speed until he
was nailed at the plate. After com
pleting he run he came near wiring
into own for an este moor, but de-
cided 20 try II out again in right field.
