fizzled. They started looking up
from time to time, but always threw
shoe at the psychological moment,
and their chances went glimmering.
This year Bill Donovan will have
nothing to say about their destinies,
for they are now under the supreme
command of midget Miller Higgins.
the little wizard who brought the
Cardinals out of the ruck in one short
year once he was given free rein.
It's Up to Higgins.
So. after all the hapless Yanks
are going to be watched with a great
deal of interest. and, unless Higgins
ability to get the last ounce of work
out of a ball club has been overesti-
mated, the Yanks of 1918 are due to at
least make a wonderful fight for a
first division berth.
Higgins. of course, will have to get
acquainted with his ball club. Aside
from one or two players he has never
seen any of them perform. But that
isn't worrying him. He believes he
can build up a winner, and he believes
in drastice changes to take the hoodoo
eff a chronic loser. He proved this
when he made his now famous trade
with the Browns. He is no respecter
of persons, is Higgins. Every player
in the squad will get chance, and
there isn't much sense in trying to
predict who will play the various posi-
tions-not with Hugh in the saddle.
Pratt Big Asset.
Derriu Pratt should help make the
Yanks. He was secured to play sec
ond base, and probably will be found
there in April. Pipp, Peckinpaugh
and Baker make up the rest of Hug s
tentative" infield. Hug has High,
Hendryx, Marsans, Miller. Lamar,
Camp and Wick for the outfe1d. Fair
looking material we'd say For back
stopping work the Yanks have Wal
tiers, Ruel and Hannah. the latter a
veteran minor lea guer from Salt Lake.
Walters has already made good, but
the others are question marks. The
pitching staff looks weak. Love, Mo-
gridge, Russell, Shawkey, Caldwell
and Plank are experienced. but Plank
is practically thru. The young pitch
ers are Brady, Enright, Monroe, Nc
Graw, Percy and Thormalen. This
Thormalen looked fair last fall and
may come out a winner. Extra in
field material on the Yank roster is
represented by linn Beck, who is no
chicken; Fewster a rookie second
sacker, and Aaron Ward, a shortstop.
None of 'em have set the world afre
as yet.
But with his seasoned players to
depend on largely Hug may spring
some surprises. He may coax the
Yankees into a fight for a berth
among the first four. He should fin
ish no worse than fifth.

Little Rock, aged 81, was drowned.
With his family he had gone to the
river for recreation. Just after noon
Mr.. Zermatten, who had waded into
water abut knee deep, called his wife
to join him. She started to the car
for her bathing suit. Scarcely had
she turned her back than she heard
her husband frantically calling for
help. She turned in time to see him
sink. He never arose. Half an hour
later his body was recovered. A lung
motor which had been hurriedlv
brought by Healy and Roth. was used
but life was extinct.
Mr.. Zermatten was born In France.
He leaves wife and child.

times we have little enjoyment.
This morning at one o'clock we had
a midnight lunch. | had two quarts
of milk and another boy had two eggs.
We fried the eggs by the heat of two
candles in a little village Somewhere
in France. Tobacco is very scarce.
Some of the boys offered 81 for sack
of Durham. / hope year from today
I will be at home with You. | will
close Your Son,
Archie Couch.
