However, I can inform the palpi-

is hard to say whether he is ex-

a winning putt In both cases the
contemporary action denotes ex-

hustling energy mean more in base

A high morale is better than a keen

The run-up shot is said to be a

Andrews or anywhere else.
It has been figured by some ex-

golf in late years saves the-lives of
$4,000 fish annually. And yet it rs
remarkable how few fish one runs

appreciation for the old game. For

SHREVEPORT. La. March 81
Several weeks Of intensive training
here by the New York Yankees has
rounded the players into desirable
condition. and when they leave here
tomorrow to go transforming with
the Brooklyn National League
champions in a gradual homeward
journey, Miller Huggins can say
the spring training is a success.
Huggins has a formidable array
of talent in virtually all positions
and various shifts of players have
all uncovered a brand of playing
pleasing to him. But there's the
Cub. How can he use this prepon-
derance of excellent material to the
best advantage? Many pick the
Yanks to win the pennant this year,
but how. the little leader employs
his players will have great deal
to do with the ultimate result.
Then. too. the Yankees of the
past-strong and favored to slip un-
der, the wire winners in autumn
did not come through. A persistent
jinx, ever hopping one player or
other, spoiled roseate-colored pros
poets of the spring. However, un'
less the very unfortunate occurs
the Yanks should make a grand
fight for the flag the coming cam
paig1, for they. have great reserve
strength.
InneId Biggest Problem.
In the infield Higgins has some
thing to scratch his head about
Shall he put in probably the
leagues best defensive quartet In
Pipp at first, Fewster at second
Peck at short. and Ward at third
Or shall he insert a great offensive
one. though not so good defensively,
in Bob Meusel at first, Ward at
second, Peck at short, and Baker
at third?
On his choice will rest the win
ming or losing of a good number OF
games. undoubtedly. and II is in
deed a hard problem whom to use
and whom to keep iH the dugout.
Johnny Mitchell. the Vernon
shortstop. a sensation last year, is
also aiming for Peck's place at
shortfield. while Mike McNally. a
fine fielder. but no great batsman,
and French. a rookie, are desirous
of playing second. Fewster, though
seeing most service at outfield
posts. seems born to play " key
stone base, and wants to play there
more than anywhere else.
In the outfield another problem OF
selection confronts Higgins, as

The Wreckers.
1t appears that some foreboding
fate has elected to toss a nigh ex-
plosive bomb into any American

Fifteen years ago Hughey Jen-

won three pennants in row.
Whereupon powerful pitching

and the Tigers have never been
able to collect a pitching STAFF since.
