Ruth, the most valuable. player in
the league: in Witt a wonderful
iead-off man, and in Meusel and
Elmer Smith a pair OF hard-hitting
right fielders, who also field their
position well.
Freddie Hoffman's work in the
absence Of Wallie Schang proved
that they are well supplied with
catchers and their pitching staff is
one of the best 1 have ever seen.

ing staff, this is the same club
as that which had to battle all
the way last year to win by the
narrow margin Of single game.
The acquisition of Penn0ck and
the improvement shown by Sam
Jones, Aaron Ward and Babe
Ruth have made q wonderful diff.
ference in the playing strength
Of the club, however, and SO has
. change in disposition
1.-THE Yanks OF a year ago were a
careless lot, seemingly Indifferent
as to whether they won or lost.
They played when they had to
play and proved their class by de-
feating the Browns, their closest
rivals, whenever occasion demanded.
Most Of the time, however, they
appeared to take their ultimate tri-
umph for granted and conducted
themselves accordingly.
Now they are q hustIng, aggres-
sive club, fighting for the breaks
and keen to take advantage of their
chances. They are driving all the
time as though they couldn't make
their lead too long. The personnel
may be the same. but the spirit of
the club is entirely different.
'"This is reflected in the marvel.
Ruth and Aaron Ward. The lat

he is ! star Of the first magnitude
and there has been just as great a
changE for the better in the big

prior to the current campaign.
the Babe was just long distance
hitter and Q sgoOd base runner.
Now, however he is one Of the
most efficient OutfieIders I'm a
game and a better hitter than he
ever was before. He may not be
hitting as many home runs but
he's making more singles and
doubles, and by hitting to all
fields is making il harder. than
ever for opposing teams to play
for him.
"And then there is that great
pitching staff Connie Mack and
were talking about the Yankee
pitchers a week or so ago and
Connie wanted to know how on
earth you could beat a club with
five pitchers good enough to finish
about two-thirds of the games they
started. I couldn't figure a method
offhand and neither could he.
1T probably is true that the
American League. as a whole, is
not as strong as IT was last year.
1t hasn't fallen away as much as
the Yanks have improved, however,
and I'm inclined to think that the
Yankees owe the greater part of
their present long lead to their
own unaided strength rather than
to any rival weakness"

Among the laws which he signed
during his first years as chief execu-

keynote of his success in public life =.
his loyalty to the institutions of his
