ure of New York. The team seems IN
no wise inclined TO remedy its weak
hitting faults nor to keep its head up
in the pinches. This afternoon the
Yankees hit almost as well as the vic
tors. But there was this striking diff
ference: Chicago swatted where the
swatting would do the most good;
New York couldn't produce the well
