HUGG|NS MAY co SOON
Rumored That Yankees viii Let
Out Pilot Before Taking Last
Western Trip,

NEW YORK. August 11.-According
to a rumor here. Miller Huggins may
be deposed asmanager Of the Yankees
before the club leaves on its last
western trip.
This rumor has it that one of the
owners of the Yankees. dissatisfied
with the way in which the mite man-
ager has been handling the team on
its home stand, is to consult with GER
tain veterans of the club as to their
opinion whether or not the team could
win the pennant under other leader
ship. In case the players favor a
change, the story goes, this half -own-
er will attempt to wean his partner
into turning the club over into other
hands.
During a recent illness of Huggins
in the west the Yankees. under the
joint management of. Capt Peckin-
paugh and Coach Charlie OLeary,
won nine straight games. They are
said to have made the boast to news
paper men accompanying the club
that they would show up Higgins

Seldom is it the good luck OF any
championship outfit to smash through
the year WITH continued success
At some time or another stifr gale
is likely to snap the halyards that
carry the colors, and for a week or
two they droop futtering toward the
ground.
slumps Seldom Last Long.
Usually a slump lasts about ten
days. Some have been prolonged to
a fortnight, and there have been g.
few instances where they continued
indefinitely. In the latter case the
team did not win the championship.
Each of the leading clubs in the
major leagues has made a gritty and
of the time each Of them has led its
league since the beginning Of the
year. It is physical strain and a
mental drag to set the pace all Of
the time. This becomes more of a.
task to bear when some Of the other
improvement.
Players of the leading teams grow
worried over trifles. They fear they
will blunder. and that always seems
to bring the blunders on. The lack
Of a base hit for two days in sue
slugger SO profoundly that he
couldn't hit anything.
Until luck. as the player called 1t,
turned the other way a star was not
much better than a novice.
Both Cleveland and Pittsburgh are
causes. They aren't getting hits
when there are men on bases as often
as they did. They are not sagging
so much in their team batting as they
are in the timely hit column which
doesn't show in the score.
The second cause is an evident lack
Of pitching strength in pinches. Pitts
burgh shows this more than Cleve-,
land, because the Pirate pitchers were
better to begin with and they we're a
bigger factor in their teams success
than were the India1 hurlers. It was
team up while the pitchers were go
ing bad. and. of course, il the champions
fall in their hitting they are doubly
smitten.
Pitching Ii Problem.
The wear and tear on pitchers.
where only a few games constantly
separate the leaders from the team
next to them. Is terrific: The man
ager must try in some way to produce
a winning pitcher every day. He can
try to do 1t, but whenever he fails he
is worried. and he is doubly worried
when he II compelled to take a pitch
er out Of the box and finish a game
with a second and perhaps a third.
That upsets the routine Of his pitch
ers and II he has two or three men
who need at least three days in which
to rest before they are fit to go ahead
again. he Is in fair way to lose about
as often as he wins. That is one rea-
son why Cleveland and Pittsburgh
have been playing not much better
than 500 per cent and a while ago
they foated along with base ball of
the $50 kind on tap at all times.
If this Is what is known as the
championship slump, it is fortunate
for them that it has come SO early

Cadore of the Dodgers won a pitchers
