HIGGINS A WIZARD

Heat Service Out OF His
Men.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Midget Miller
Higgins. boss OF the Yankees. is a
Hindoo when it comes to getting work
out of the pitchers.
His manipulation of the sharrshoot-
ers. more than anything else. has been
responsible for the show of life made
by the Yankees of 1918, and while the
heaTy-hitting members Of the team
have done their share in the way OF
making runs. il has been the pitching
staff which turned back the oppose
ton.
HuGSins was a stranger To the mem
bers OF the Ianks when tn t:suuad in
vadcd Macon. Ga. last spring. and his
players were strangers to him for the
most part. He had seen one or two of
his men in action. but that was all. and
he bad 10 make his calculations re-
Sardins the value of this or that
player on comparatively short notice.
Then just about the time the team
was ready to quit camp and start
northward. Bob Shawkey found that
he had been placed in Glass Ia of the
National Army draft, and left the team
to enlist. The loss of Shawkey was "A
hard blow, but Higgins grinned. set
his jaw and went after the remaining
members of the pitching staff deter
mined to mold them into ii combination
of winners
The secret of il all lies with Huggins
and his generalship in handling his
hurlers. In Caldwell. Alogridge, Love-
Russell and Thormahlcn Hug can't be
said TO have a world beating corps OF
wigglcrs by any means. yet he has
made a good pitcher out OF Love. has
awakened new ambition in the erst-
while erratic Ray Caldwell. and is
handling the rest of his men with a
master hand.
