NEW YORK. May 2s.-The club that
gets the pitching consistently should
win the American league pennsnt this
year And In that statement lies a
hint OF the troubles big leaguers are

The Yankees have been aflicted with
the poorest pitching they could have
been given. counting the possibilities
Of the stan. but their fence-busting
batting and the doggedness OF their
leader has kept them within striking
distance. They have chance 10 get

President Wilson Favors Sport; May
Save Baseball From Cfowder Order

II the Crowder order goes through
IN It's original form II Will sound the
death knell 20 baseball IN major and
minor leagues.
There ls only one reason 10 believe
II. will not go through as originally
given out, that being a statement from
President Wilson made early In the
war.
The president said that he consider
ed the continuation OF he3lthful sports
an essential factor In war times and
that he could see no reason why sports
should be discontinued
In his statement President Wilson did
not difierentlate between professional
and amateur sports. between baseball
and any other form OF athletic ac-
tlvity.
His word will be ANAL in the Crowder
order and undoubtedly great pressure
will be brought 10 bear 10 have him
make some exceptions In the case OF
baseball.
Millions OF dollars worth OF prop
erty will be rendered practically value
less II baseball Is discontinued Hun
dreds OF thousands Of dollars In rev.
enues will be cut or from the Federal
Government through the war tax paid
at the gate.
Whether the Government can better
stand this loss by putting few hun
dred men to work at Jobs they know
absolutely nothing Of is a question for
the administration 10 solve.
Against the order also stands the
theory that the people ST large need
amusements 20 divert their minds oc-
casionally from the war.
In favor Of the order so far as sports
are concerned, Is the telling blow Of
slackerism In several branches Of sport
recently exemplined by Joe Jackson
and Al Mamaux going into the ship

There is getting 10 be a settled con-
viction among the fans that Otto Wag-
ner is just about as sure an ouffelder
and good around player as they grow
them in this league. He Is positive on
ny balls, plays the batters with fine
judgment and is a hesdy man up at the
plate for inside play, like the hit and
run and the bunts or feinting with
either and drawing inflelders out Of
position
One thing you have 10 say for Du-
mont. he has control. something that
every good pitcher must possess. When
"Duie" relieved Ray there were two
balls on the hitter and no strikes and
two OF the foe on base. A ticklish
position for q relief hurler. Dumont

Benny Kauff did some pitching when

Everyone knows how George Slsler

bsserunning were found to be OF more
