The American league champions are
not finding things breaking in their
favor these days. First Of all, Judge
Lands up and slams heavy fines and
suspensions on babe Ruth" Bob
Meusel and Pitcher Piercy for going on
a transforming tour after their tilt
with the Giants. Babe" and Meusel
will be out of the Yankee lineup until

Without this pair, the Yanks' outfield
looks mighty punk. Miller win be the
only regular left and the only good
utility men are Roth and Hawks, both
of whom are below the regular stand
ard. A month and eight days is a
mighty long time in q pennant race,
and when the two exiles are allowed to
come back the Yankees are liable to
be so far down that Ruth's homers
can't pull them up.
On top of all that, J. Franklin
(Home Run) Baker has announced his
intention to retire from the game. That
would leave only McNally and KILN
ger, crack athlete from Penn State
who was recently signed up. to guard
the hot corner. McNally will not do,
because he is about the weakest bat
ter on the team, while Glenn Killinger

put out quite a few shekels for him.
but now that Connie Mack has swap
ped his dissatisfied star to the Red
Sox, there are no hopes in that di-
rection. It has been rumored around
lately that Baker may not retire, but
he probably will, as he has beeen in
the game a long time, and deserves a
rest.
AS a last straw, IL seems that all of
the Yankee moundsmen, with the ex-
ception of Waite Hoyt, are holding
out for more coin. And Hoyt, despite
his fine showing in the worlds series,
cannot shoulder the entire pitching
burden.
The owners seem dissatisfied with
Wallie Pipp on first base, and may
switch Ruth to that position. About
the only positions that the Yankees are
sure about are second base, shortstop
and behind the plate. Ward fills the
keystone sack to nicely, while Ever
EFT Scott is the best shortstop in the
league. in point of fielding and con-
sistency. Schang, DeVormer and
Hoffman round out a catching staff
that would be hard to beat.
So, unless fortune undergoes a COM
plete reversal, Colonel Rupert, Hus-
ton & Company do not stand much of
a chance to repeat it's 1921 victory.

RazOr-BaCk
To PoSterity Is
Cry in Florida

GAINESVILLE. Fla. - Somebody
ought to have a genuine Florida razor
back mounted before they become ex-
tinct. They're hard to find. now.
Thus does no less an authority than
the Bureau of Markets n Crop Esti-
mates of the United States Department
of Agriculture here officially confirm
the suspicion that the porker around
which SO many yarns have been spun
soon will be a candidate for the mu.
scum.
The Florida farmer is responsible
for the passing of a pack OF bones and
bristles chock full OF mischief. The
razor back. or native hog, usually could
work his body into any place his nose
could enter. He was reared on a farm
but was permitted to roam the woods
until he became half wild and only a
photograph could portray the damage
he could do once he wormed his way
into a plot OF cultivated ground. AS
an article Of food he vas worth little.
Florida farmers for several years have
been stocking their places with pure
bred swine, and now have reached the
stage where discussion OF a pigs pedi-
gree is regarded as of extreme import
ance.

than eleven pioneer companies in the
central part of the state, extending
from below Peabody to beyond the
