Base Runners.
New York. May 23.-In New York,
American league fans will tell you
the Yankees jinx is in it's death
throes and that the team is about to
wing away with the American league
pennant
Yesterday. the Yankees, facetiously
referred to as a 'murderers' row. by
some of their trusting admirers,
hits and got nary run out of the
mess. The Six. on the other hand.
pasted Jack Quinn for only four hits
and scored one run-the winning one.
of course
There is A lesson in this for the
baseball fan, and it is that no team
can hope to consistently win without
speed. The Yankees are slow and
will have lots of hard fighting to
maintain a place at the head of the
list in opposition to speedy aggrega-
lions like the White SoX and Red SoX.
This. however, must not be taken
to mean that the Yanks cannot win a
pennant in their present makeup, for
chances are they will come mighty
close. They have hitting power and
their pitchers are excellent. A hit
ting team as powerful as the Yanks
can get along with less speed than
lighter one. for it can rely on hit and
run strategy with much success. On
| the other hand, a couple of speedy
!, men injected into the Yank lineup
| would make the task of that club so
] much easier it makes one wonder
| why something isn't done to reach
1 that end
| Imagine what would happen if the
| White SoX or Red Sox had the punch
| of the Yanks together with their pres
! ent strength along other lines. Also
! imagine what would happen if there
| were a few base runners in the Yank
| lineup. AS it is the American league
| is going galloping into the stretch
| with the age-old bloody finish The
| Yanks, White SoX, Red Sox and In
| dams, it appears. are billed for a
death grapple right on the threshold
| of the worlds series.
