note that the old record was estab-
lished in another Yankee encamp-

orleans, where the Yanks were
called off the gal1ows as coming
under the general head OF unframed
labor. Their reply was to win the
American League pennaT1t and their
only worlds championships.

1t would almost appear that the
Yanks were waiting for the lash
before stepping out at their best.
Five days ago, when adverse
sentiment had chrystalized In one
vast scatching bleat. the outfit
looked as though 1t was breathing
its last and the line Of volunteer pail

Today, Ruth Is hitting, the pitch

say, looks the part of the best
si1ortstop in the league and Tony
Lazerri no longer ID wandering

has been as complete as IL was sud
den. 1t may even be permanent.
Take the strange case Of Mr..
Ruth, for example. In his first
four games against the braves,
he went to hat is times for d
net total Of two singles and two
passes. He hit only one Ouffield
fly and expired seven times on
infieId grOunders, once on pop
fly to an infielder and four times
on strikes.
In his next two Boston games.
he got five hits and one Of them
was a homer, another. should have
been, two were doubles and two
were singles. For the moment, our
Mr.. Ruth seems to nave returned
to the races.
Koenig and Lazerri. just az sud-
denly, established something more
than bowling acquaintance around
second base and, simultaneously.
Lazerri got his first hit as e.
Yankee. He added another in the
same game by way of emphasis and
for good measure.
koenig, meanwhile, has been the
hitting sensation OF the game and,
up until yesterday, had a very
natty average of 500. He also Is
playing a great game at shortstop.
1t wouldn't be exaggeration to
say that the Yanks have improved
100 per cent in one week. They
had a long way to come.

ASTE:RN'S
VETERANS
NUCLEUS
BY ROSS CONKLIN

Charlie Guyon, Eastern High
School athletic director, has just
about reached the point where he
is willing and anxious to thrash
any able-bodied boy in the school
who is found thinking anything
but baseball. Having feasted
through the long winter months
ON basketball and football and
having eaten his fill Of those
sports temporarily, Guyon is
grinning with anticipation fol
baseball is his favorite sport.
Having seen the game from all
angles, umpiring, playing and
coaching, the Redskin is well quail
flied to coach the game. In the
summer months he is an umpire
in the minor leagues and any
one who can jumps in the minor
leagues must be at least ACQUAINTED
with the quickest exit.
Hardening back to last yeac,
gGuyon turned out championship
team with nothing but two prayers
and lot of hope. This current
season finds him much more fortu-
nately situated in that he has six
letter men back Backing up that
half dozen he has a lot of young
material that can be worked with.
Rankin and H0gge were good
enough to catch Eastern to 4
title last year, and they are on
hand. Thompson and KidWelI
are there to back them up when-
ever the occasion arises. They
were good catchers, too, as high
school receivers 60.
In the pitching problem Guyon is
well fortified also. He has Quinn
and Frager, and no coach would
want two better nnoundsmen for a
nucleus. Quinn and Frazer had the
opposing batters leaving the plate
talking TO themselves last year, and
there Is every reason to believe that
they viii repeat the offenses again.
Nicholson is young hopeful that
Guyon expects much from, and
Perry and Atkins are reported Ito.
have said they were willing to throw
their arms OFF II given the chancs.
That makes five pitchers out now.
and more are reporting daily
The infield seems to be pretty
wei shot. only one regular being
in school. The remaining base
guardian is McAllister, the blond
youngster who made such a favor

too. TaIbert, be he ever so
good, cannot cover the whole
outfieId, and that makes the Sec
Ond problem. However, with
Scruggs, HOgartIl, CapeIIi and
Reid, all good bali players to
choose from, those vacant posi-.
lions ought to be well filled.
Eastern will not play its first
series game until one month from
today and the schedule is peculiar
in that the Light Blue and White
will play series game every
Tuesday after that date.
1t is In the pitching line that
Guyon hopes to trump his adver-
saries. He has hitters and he can
train infielders. but he must needs
have the curve artists. He Is
working on the bang now and by
the time the season opens the
Indian will have his usual, classy
pitching staff.

meeting.
after these rules are approved by

and sincere purpose, and the APP
pointed civil service commissioners
have every reason to believe, through
earnest assurances by the Mayor and
