News in Numbers

/ Wilmington, and these boys came 10
US for the game. II was one OF those
regular April days when It rains In
the morning and the sun comes out
shining brightly in the afternoon.
The result, the five men were sur
prised; the best part OF the team.
"As the wea her conditions in the
morning were not so good, the
quintet thought that there would be
no game and so failed 20 appear for
the game. As the other nine was on
the field and came all the way from
Wilmington in order 10 play the
game II was thought best to put the
game through. even though II was
necessary for the Crimson and Gray
to cail on It's second-string players in
order TO place nine men on the field.
The game was lost. and the miss
ing players were notified immediate
ly after the contest that they were
suspended Indefinitely from the
team. As these men were about the
most valuable players OF the nine.
St. Joe felt their loss keenly; 40
keenly that they have lost every
game since that fateful day.
when things cooled down the
men In charge were able 20 see the
case in a different light. and now
the five players are re-instated.
This means that the Crimson and
Gray viii have their men In full
swing again, but thy cannot erase
the defeats off their losing side OF
their ledger which have been chalk
I'D up in the past three weeks.
THE players caught in the muddle
are Breslin. the ail-around star OF
the school, who plays the left gar
den and Is one OF the best batters
on the nine; McNicholas, the dimin-
utlve second-baseman. who starred
on the basketball team; Connors, a
pitcher; Mallin. the captain and
third baseman. and Darran, an out
fielder"

BILLY EVANS SAYS

In baseball. pitching is the big
punch.
This fact is being demonstrated
day after day in the majors and
minors.
No better proof OF what pitching
means TO a ball club could be Of
fered than the New York Yankees.
Prior to the opening Of the major
leagues. the Yankees played a SER
les OF exhibition games with the
Brooklyn club OF the National
The Brooklyn club won the series
s games TO s. Throughout the
south. the National LeaGuers made
merry at the expense OF the Yankee
pitchers.
The American League pitching
was Off color. and OF the first eleven
games played. Brooklyn won eight.
Coming back to Brooklyn. the two
teams finished the series. the Yank-
ees winning the last three games.
The failure OF the Yankee pitch
ers to hold the Dodgers in the games
played in the south, caused a num-
ber OF experts to feel that the pitch
ing staff would not be able TO carry
the burden imposed on the team
through the loss OF Ruth and Meu-
sci.

games OF the Brooklyn series caused
their supporters 20 take renewed
hope Since the start OF the Ameri-
can League season the New York
stan has continued its great work.
In the first twelve games played
by the Yankees. ten Of which were
won. some very interesting facts are
apparent. The outstanding one. how
ever. is that pitching is the big
punch in baseball.
In only three OF the 12 games did
the opposition make 10 or more
hits of the Yankee pitching stan.
Two OF these games resulted in the
only defeats suffered by New York.
In the other game. New York man
aged to win 10 20 because OF SUI
perior batting prowess.
In aeseries OF four games. with
Washington. all OF which were won
by New York. the Nationals made
only s runs and 10 hits. In two OF
the games Washington was blanked.
In the first IL games played. the
opposition has averaged only trifie
better than seven hits per game.
That's the real reason why the
Yankees annexed 10 victories.
The pleasing feature from a New
York standpoint Is that Bob Shaw
key scored a shutout in his first two
starts, allowing only four hits in
each game. A bit OF Jolt TO those
who said he was through.
