WELL KNOWN TRAMBITAS FIGHTS HERE TONIGH
YANKS MU ST
STEP LIVELY
FOR PENNANT

NEW YORK, April l7-New York
will not win the American league
pennant this year unless the Yam
KEGS get on their toes for the rest
of the season.
The easy going spirit Of the Yam
KEGS rather than any particular
weakness in mechanical equipment
is the load that seems to be the han
dicap of the Huggins team. 1t lost
the pcnnant last year and it Ger
tainly can't have any other effect
this season.
The difference between cham
pionship team as is represented in
the Washington Senators and the
Yankees was shown yesterday. The
Yankees went into the ninth inning
with five to two lead over the
champions. The players started to
collect their bats and moved over
near the exit from the bench But
in ten minutes the game had been
blown right out from under them.
The Senators pulled Il spirited rally,
scored five runs and won the ball
game.
The Yankees seem to have every.
thing but that stuff of which Il
real championship team is made.
They take too much for granted.
They still think apparently that
they are the best team in the Amer.
lean league and that the Senators
are only lucky.
The Yankees are stronger team
on the field than they were last
year. The addition of Urban Shock
cr, Earl Combs aud Steve O'Neill
has strengthened the team on the
defense and particularly on the de-
fcnsc.
BIT with their increased strength,
the Yankees will get nowhere until
they get Il spirit like the Washing
ton Senators. They will have to
have the idea pounded into them
that there are other good teams in
the league and that a championship
ball club never loafs.
