Yankees 1922 Pitching Staff
May Be Greatest Of All Time
American League Cham
pions Will Have 10 Step
Lively to Keep the Pace

The greatest pitching staff ever
assembled
Nothing less is what they arc pre-
dieting the 1922 Yankee hurting out
fit will provo, since the addition Of
Sam Jones and Joe Bush to tho star
cast headed by Carl Mays and Waite
Hoyt, with its fine supporting company
of Bob Shawkcy and Harry Harper,
not to mention "Lefty" O'Doul and
somc of the newcomers who are ex
pected to step out into the limclight
This is lot Of good pitching, an ad
mission that could he wrung from
most anyone, but whether it is better
than some Of the big time stats Of
other days is something that calls for
a lot of argument from many places.
1t was easy enough to get by with
assertions of this kind in the early
days Of baseball. In the days of the
A. G. Spalding, ono II noundsman was
an entire pitching staff. There was
Tommy Bond in 1878 and 'T9. He
pitched all the games for his team in
these years, when Boston finished in
first and second places, and it must be
agreed he was some pitching staff.
And Charley Raonourne and others
might be mentioned who carried the
pitching burden with very little help,
which is still talking of the days be-
fore pup Hector negotiated his first
bone. Even in 1896, which isn't going
back any further than lot of us can
remember, Tim keefe and "Smiling
Mickey Welch were all there was to
the New York pitching. And the same
pair didn't have an awful lot OF help
in 1888 and '89, when this town boasted
it's first National League pennant.
In 1890 to 1892
In 1890, '91 and '02 John Clarkson
and Charley Nichols were hurting
mainstays that helped Boston to the
gonfalon in the three afore mentioned
seasons, and these two alone were the
equals Of a lot of the present-day STATS
that fill half the player benches of
more than one major league team.
Baltimore was considered to have
quite a set of hurers in their big
years. 1898, 1894 and 1895, but as
matter Of fact the superiority of the
Oriole aggregation, both on the attack
and defense, made their siabsters look
better than they really were. Amos
Rusie and Jouett Meekin, with others
Of the Giants. probably made up more
powerful mound array. This pair cas-

year OF the Temple Cup series, when
New York captured three of the four
games played.
Probably the first pitching ensemble
with genuine wealth Of material, one
that would coincide with the modern
idea Of real staff. appeared in 1897,
1893 and 1899, when kid" Nichols,
Jake Stivetts, Fred Klobendanz and Vic
Willis showed Boston the way to the
pennant in two Of the years and
finished second in 1899.
Brooklyn has been fortunate in the
possession Of two Of the finest of
pitching STATS in both quality and
quantity. Back in 1899 and 1900.

nlty. Harry Howell and Jerry Nopes
were priced additions. But for the
amer can League raid, which trans
pifed the fol flowing year. here was a
punch tnat should have ruled sunrono
Tor considerable period.
Or course the Dodgers 1920 staff is
stlll keenly remembered. Burloir;
Grimes. Ed Pfeffer and Leon Cadore
and kube Marquard and Sherry Smith
was probably as finely balanced a
mound union as can be pointed out.
In 1900 to 1902
Only Pittsburgh ever equaled Brook
lyn in being blessed with so much
good pitch ng at one time. In 1900 TO
ISo2, when they were three-time
PPennant winner, they, could call on
Jesse Tannehill, Jack Chesbro.
Schoolmaster" Leever. deacon" Phil
ll'ppe, "Rubc' Waddel and Ed Do
heny.
George Winters, "Old Cy" Young and
blil Deneen for the Boston Red Sox
were tough trio to beat in 1903-'04
to show with Christy Mathewson, Red"
Ames, "Hooks' Wiltse, Joe McGinnity
and Dummy" Taylor. In 1911, when
the Giants started repeating, the first
three were going strong and, with
"Hnbe' Marquard, Bugs" Raymond
and jeff Tesreau, gave an admir-
Bile mound selection. Of course, any
staff with Big Six" would stand out.
and in 1912 Marquard hung up his rec
ord of nineteen straight victories.
In 1906 the Chicago Cubs with Jack
Pfeister, Orval Overall. Ed Reulbach
and "Three Fingered" Brown were, in
the general opinion, the greatest set
OF moundsmen ever brought together al
one time. In six years they accounted
for four pennants and TWO champion
ships. They were great bunch In
1908 Reulbach shut out Brooklyn twice
on the same afternoon.
Possibly the only combination thar
might be estimated as equal or superior
to the Cubs collection was sported b.
the Athletics from 1909 to 1911 Eddie
Plank. "Chief' Bender, Joe Bush. Jack
Coombs and Bob Shawkey were about
as generous pitching apportionnent
as any manager could dare to expect.
In 1910 they triumphed over the Cubs
in four out of five games and it took
the Chicago team ten innings to win
that one game.
One Of the greatest set OF hurlers
The Yankees will be called on to match
was the Red Sox staff Of 1915 and 1915.
Ruth and Mays, with Ernie Shore,
Dutch" Leonard and George Foster,
were all wonderful pitchers at that
time
All in all ,one can see where the 1922
New-York tribune., 1922-02-12

Yankee hurlcrs will have to do consid
cra5lc showing before the critical will
allow that "ereatest ever" stuff
Stlll, it must be conceded, there is
reasonable excuse as basis for the
claim. Mays, Hoyt and Jones are un-
ouestionably a marvellous pitching trio.
Whether Joe Bush will come through
as strongly in his twelfth big league
year as he did few years ago and
with the form he occasionally flashed
last season, is still a question. Then,
Bob Shawkey's 1922 form is another
question.
This much might be said-thc
Yankee staff rates as one of the great
est rio BANDED twirling comb binations.
And if Harry Harper acquires steadi-
ness and Lefty" O'Doul is as near
ready as he is presumed to be, the
greatness of the Yankee pitching array
should be demonstrated beyond any
argument

ANOTHER'S WOMAN'S

VIOU remember. no doubt, the ease of Mrs

and felt aggrieved because the state depart

piled with without intolerable confusion and
misunderstanding overseas.
Mrs. Oleson 5 grievance is the reverse. The
state attorney general will not let her use her
maiden name, or, rather, her husbands Chris
tian name with Mrs prcfixed. on the ballot.
She has won a name for herself under her
married name. Peter Olcson may not be known
all over the state of Minnesota. but Mrs. Peter
OleSon is. That particular form of designation

voters as Annie Dickie Olcson. a collocation of
words with which the voters are not familiar
