All or ~nlCh - provoked bN
widely prevalent notion that the
Yankees are seething with internal
dissension and that their chances
for another rennant are likely TO
suffer therefore.
When Carl Mays and Manager
Miller Huggins had their little
row at Bristol some weeks ago,
II was said that the Yankees
were hopelessly at odds among
themselves. and when young
Waite Hoyt got into . Jam
with the Rupert Huston pilot at
the Polo grounds the other day
the alarmists raised the same old
cry again.
Granted that MAYS and Hoyt did
have their little differences with
Huggins. what of 1t? ! could cite
a dozen instances of similar affairs
on other clubs not only in the
American League, but in the Ma
tionsl. as well, which differed from
The Huggins.Ma and Huggins-Hoyt
disturbances only in the sense that
they were given no publicity. They
flared up. died down again and had
no effect. either one way or an
other. on the fortunes of the clubs
involved.
Unless a club Is so completely
"mired" that its players do not
care a whoop whether they win
or lose, there Is bound to be q
certain amount Of friction not
only among the players hut he
tween the players and their man
ager. When a club Is In the
thick Of pennant fight and
knows that every game counts,
its players are bound to he super
sensitive and are likely tn resent
criticiam, whether II comes from
other players or from the mana
ger himself.
They are all keyed UP TO con-
cert pitch, their nerves are on edge,
and II they are at all inclined that

slightest provocation.
As general proposition. a cer-
tain amount OF this sort OF thing 10
good for club. II means that the
players are on tnelr toes ana llHnt-
ing for every advantage, even though
they may be fighting among them
selves.
There have been times, Of
course, when personal aniInosities
have ruined q clubs chances to
wiD-a little squabbling now and
then serves as a safety valve; u
il only when the players get TO
