MANY FIGURED YANKEES
PENNANT CONTENDERS
Now There Is Doubt if that Club Has
the Necessary Punch.

New York, April 2S-when theYankees
came back from Dixie, fresh from a
successful training trip and with all
players In condition, they loomed up as
strong contenders for the pennant In
Ban Johnson's circuit. Prior to their
opening series with Boston they looked
like club that was sure to figure
Now there IL some doubt as to whether
the Yanks have the necessary punch.
And that doubt exists in New York
In the Boston series, despite the fact
that the season was only a few days old,
the Yanks lacked ginger and driving pow
er. 1t had been predicted that left-hand-
ed pitching would worry them, and Bos-
ton won the FIRST two games with left
handlers on the mound. When the
Yankee players found they could do
nothing against the wizardry of the Hub
southpaws they seemed to give up the
eight. .
Compared to the Giants, they are inferior
as club with the punch that wins ball
games, and some of their most ardent
supporters are fearing that even though
they manage to keep In the fight through
the early summer, they are liable to
blow" when the race narrows down to
desperate battle and a drive toward
the pennant.
The season Is young as yet, and the
Yanks may hit a fighting stride that
will make them look like an altogether
different ball club, but the club that
fights for every game from the opening
bell to the. wind-up is the kind OF a club
to put 1t over Donovan's boys from early
indications.

PECKINPAUGH STARTS
SOME GOOD STICKWORK

New York, April 2S.-Roger Peckin-
paugh, OF the Yankees. is one of the
best shortstops in the big leagues
yet because of a retiring nature
Roger doesn't get as much publicity
as some Of the more forward players,
who are always willing to pose for
the photographers and "gush" for the
newspapers.
Instead OF playing" to press, Peck
goes about the business of earning his
salary from the Yankees in a quiet,
determined way, and this year, despite
his modest nature, he is getting into
print every day or SO because of the
lusty manner in which he has been
hammering the ball.
As a hitter Peckinpaugh has often
been ranked among the weak ones.
But right OF the reel this year he
broke into the lime by busting up
two ball games at the Polo Grounds,
and since that time he has been show
ing better form with the stick than
ever before.
"Wallie" Pipp. who is always expect
ed to hammer the ball. says he would
like to be classed as a weak hitter in
the spring. He has a hunch that, like
Peckinpaugh, he would increase his
hitting and get the credit for pulling

CADDOCK SURPRISES
FANS At WRESTLING
Grappler from Iowa Makes Champion
Stecher Yelp.

New York. April 2.-Earl Caddock the
handsome young Apollo, Of Anita Iowa,
who knocked back the good citizens OF
Omaha with plain surprise when he made
Joe Stecher yelp enough in theiD re-
cent wrestling bout there, Is one OF the
cleanest-cut youths who has ever laid
claim 10 the worlds heavyweight grap-
ping crown.
Caddock, IN his best form, weighs less
than 1S pounds, and compared with
stecher, Stranger Lewis. Doc Roller,
Vladek Zbyszko and other heavyweight
matmen he Is at a disadvantage when
Il comes to weight, for all OF these
big fellows tip the beam we'll across
the two hundred-pou notch.
The claims put forth by Caddoek are
being accepted without hesitation by
wrestling fans throughout the country.
There were no badly garbled reports OF
the match sent out from Omaha and
everyone who follows wrestling closely
is willing to hand the young Anita
farmer boy the laurels. Yet Caddock is
eager 10 get stecher onto the mat again.
He rsalizes that winning the title by
forfeit leaves some doubts 10 his right
TO claim Il. and he feels so sure that
he has stecher's goat firmly by the
horns that he wants to prove II con-
elusively.
From all reports Steeher quit cold.
and quite unexpectedly. Even his mana
ger admits he refused TO leave his dress
lng-room for the third fall, after each
wrestler had taken fall. II this Is
true Stecher showed a streak Of ochre
that no one believed was In him.
The new championship claimant Is q
pupil Of Frank Gotch. who taught linn
all he knows OF graphing. And take
Goteh's word for u that his protege
is the neatest Piece OF wrestling machin-
cry uncovered in years
Caddock won the national amateur
heavyweight championship at San Fran
cisco in 1915. and since he turned pro-
fessionaI he has beaten some OF the
toughest wreEtlers in the game. He Is
Testing up now at his Anita home. but
Texpects to start a campaign in May.
