He started In tho major leagues looking

he has tremendous power and speed.
He is not u good man handling pitchers

The Yanks. " truth. have small
chance to use any strategy whatever.
They must stand fiat-footed and hit
and hit and hit. The Giants must use
their dash and rushing attack TO break
tho Yankees defense and upset their
pitchers. There Is no d"p" in this: 1t il
the only way ,hry can play ball--be-
cause it is the Kind Of ball their mch

In this sort OF an attack of course,
