But Won't Trade Ruth, Pens

Others on Block
~ F0RD q. FRInK.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29. That the
entire Yankee team would Be torn
apart, # necessary, in order to re-
build and strengthen 1t for the
coming season, was the declaration
made by little Miller John Hug
gins q few days ago, before he de-
parted for st Petersburg, Fla,
to look over the site Of the new
training camp.
Hug won't trade Ruth, and he
won't consider a deal that would
take Dugan, Pennock or Meusel
out Of New York. But any Of the
other players are on the block if
such . deal will give the mite man
ager the strength he desires.
Il kept my team intact as long
as / could" Hug said. II have
always been loath to break up 4
combination Of players, and / have
certain sentiment toward the
men who have stood by me through
four hot and heavv pennant races.
''But." and the mite manager
scowled as he spoke, "you can't
changes before another season
starts
One thing seems almost certain.
Earl Combs, II he continues to i'm
prove, will almost surely supplant
little Whitley Witt in centerfield
"A capable catcher must be secured
who can relieve Schang of much Of
his work, and new blood must be
injected at short.
But more important than an
that is the need for new pitching
strength. OF the Yankee fiVe-star
staff, only PennOck showed his
real form last season. Jones, out
with q sore arm most of the time,
was . sad disappointment. Shaw.
key, aging rapidly, failed to como
through as expected. Bush was
an in-aIAd.Outer: HOyt had three
bad months and two good ones.
That sort of pitching doesn't win
pennants and Higgins knows it.
Pennock next season Is b fixture.
The others-any of them-may be
traded. If such q deal can bring the
new, blood which Hug knows is
necessary to Yankee success
And 50 Hug Is in the market,
avowedly and without pretense.
Certain deals already are pending.
Others are in the making. And IL

fore January 1.
There's another radical change
in the Higgins plans, too. That
is an increased attention to young.
sters. In other years Higgins
hasn't paid much attention to his
rockies. He didn't need to.
But this year he's got to have
some new ones. And consequently
he il en- route to st. Petersburg
right now to look over the new
camp, make all arrangements for
the coming Of his club, and attend
to the thousand and one details
that are part OF training camp
shift.
And this spring, too, Hug will
probably adopt the McGraw plan
OF asking his rockies and sUbsti-
tutes to report full two weeks
ahead of the regulars, so he can
look them over and give them
some hard work before the real
crush comes.
Something has to be done to the
Yankees. Higgins knows it. He
has no illusions. And though the
1924 season has scarcely ended,
he's already on the job for 1926.
