Baseball sharps yesterday still were
discussing Miller Huggins's order to
pass Young in the eight inning last Sun
day The majority favored the manager
of the Yankees against the judgment OF
Bush Apart from the various angles
already discussed we want to call atten-
ton to the fact that when Young came
up the infield OF the Yankees was lying
far back. 1t had suffered the experience
that whenever ii was drawn in some
Giant popped one over their heads or
bounced one over their shoulders
The stage was set for a great move
IL Bush had pitched to Young. We
looked for Young to drag bunt score
the run that would have tied things up
and leave the bags full for Kelly. You
can't dodge 1t. Higgins was right. but
II did not work out the right way for

If Babe Had Hit, His Team
Mates Would Have Emu
lated Him, They Say.
BY DANIEL.

said psychoanalyst yesterday. The
main reason for the poor attack OF the
Yankees against the Giants lay in the
failure of Babe Ruth. When the others
saw Ruth look so helpless at bat their
confidence was destroyed and they fell
before pitching which was expected to
prove easy for them. Had the Babe hit
the others would have come along with
him."
All of which Is interesting. There Is
no doubt that the Babe did not hit. He
gave many interesting exhibitions of
club swinging and waited welcome
breezes TO the press box on a couple of
those hot afternoons. But as mauler
he was a tremendous disappointment
1t looks as If the big fellow has taken
the lesson to heart and will take steps
to remedy his shortcomings.
Ruth is going out with Bob MeuseI on
a short transforming tour. and then
will settle down on his farm at Sud-
bury, Mass, to a winter of the simple
life-hard work around the place, with
plenty of wood chopping There will be
no vaudeville tour and life of ease for
the Babe this winter. He promises to
report at the spring training camp as
hard as nails with his eye clear.
Yanks Were I'm Slump.
At first blush Ban Johnson appears to
be right when he says that the Ameri-
can League was Inundated greatly by
the Yankee debacle, but Ban lays 1t on
bit thick when he declares that the
losers played the worst baseball ever
shown by an entry from his league in
the world series. The Athletics did not
exactly cover themselves with glory
when they scored only six runs in four
games and were swept into complete
rout by the Braves in 1914
The Yankees, let 1t not be forgotten,
made only one error in the five games,
and that lone misplay could have been
chalked up as a hit without doing an
injustice to anybody. The error was
charged against Aaron Ward on
grounder from Bancroft's bat The Yam
KEGS looked so bad on the bases because,
with two defeats against them. they be-
came desperate and took long chances.
The Yankee pitching was good, the de-
Tense was excellent all along the line.
But the hitting was miserable. The
team average was only .203.
The Yankees had the misfortune to
run into the world series while they
were in the midst of slump. They
made mighty few runs in the closing
games of the campaign. Their record
for the last Ave contests follows:
Cleveland. 8; Yankees. C hits). Bos-
ton, 8; Yankees. l a hits). Boston. 1 +;
Yankees. (5 hits). Yankees, 3 q
hits). Boston. /; Washington, 6; Yam
KEGS, 6 hits).
1t will be seen that in these five
games the Yankees got only five runs
and twenty-seven hits, an average OF
less than six hits a game. In their last
ten games, counting the world series, the
Yankees made only sixteen runs and fif
ty-nine hits, maintaining a batting pace
1t,,t. rDa,1,.
better than that which they had shown
IT, the previous five games. For a club
of sluggers this was mighty poor. But
slumps are bound to hit the best of
teams-and the Yankees got into theirs
at the wrong end of the season.
