She was IL his arms.
Then Hoppe turned his face away.
and down his cheek rolled q tear, and
it was a great big tear, too.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Chances Of
the New York Yankees in the 1922 Pen
nant race might be acquired by twisting
that old adage to read-"Teu me your
pitchers and I will tell you what you
are"
The Yankees have the pennant winning
team of 1921 together with just about
the finest pitching staff that ever has
assembled. Carl Mays, Waite Hoyt; Sam
Jones. Joe Bush, Bob Shawkey. Harry
Harper, Lefty O'Doul and maybe q good
That combination backed by a heavy
hitting offense and good defense looks
like it ought to be good for almost a
hundred games, and no team in the
league, including the dangerous Browns,
the improved Senator's. or the hghtlng
Indians can beat that mark.
With any kind Of luck in avoiding bad
accidents or tremendous reversals in form
the Yanks ought to go through in a
breeze. Perhaps the Yanks haven't the
best infeld in the league, but they have
a rood one. Scott at shortstop won't
make It any better than 1t was last year,
and Baker at third Is an uncertainty with
bad legs. Ward is a good second Ease-
man. but he is out Of place, and Pipp is
lust an ordinary first baseman. How
ever. II Is q balanced combination ana II
has worked together. With IKE McNally
and Johnny Mitchell as reserves, the team
is In a fair way.
