YANKEES FORTIFIED
WITH GOOD RESERVES

A ball club Is said to be no stronger
New York Yankees are we'll fortified
In any emergency. There great reserve
strength lies in the infield. where
Manager Higgins has Mike Gazella.,
Aaron Ward and Spencer Adams all
primed. The Yanks have two sub
stitute outf1elders, one Of whom, Ben
Paschal. recently has been put in the
lineup to face left-hand pitching. The
other is Carlyle, a heavy hitter, but
an Indifferent fielder.
On the shoulders of Mike Gazella.

game. Gazella for several weeks sub
stituted for Joe Dugan at third this
year when the Yank third sacker Suf-
fered from injuries. Gazella showed
that he was equally at home at short
stop when Mark Koenig showed un-
mistakable signs of nerves by boot
ing easy chances in tight games. Ca
zella is a light hitter. averaging un-
der the .250 mark, but does his best
work In pinches.
Aaron Ward, for years the CLUB
second baseman and who went to the
New Yorks as third baSeman, has
been seen little in the inf1eld this year.
He has been called to hit for left hand
pitchers against the southpaw hurl-
ing.
Spencer Adams came to the Yanks
from Washington, where he played as
a. substitute last year at second DaSe
for Bucky Harris. Adams saw rev
innings Of world series play against
the Pittsburgh Nationals. He has been
called upon as a pinch hitter and sub
stitute runner this year, but has done
little work in the inf1eld.
The New York outfield regulars are
Ruth, Meusel and Combs, but WITHIN
the last six weeks Of the seasons play
Higgins has withdrawn Combs when
the opposition put in q left-hander
and stationed Paschal in center field.
This weakens the defense, but Paschal
dotes on left.hand pitching, which on
sets his lesser fielding ability. PAS
chal is a 800 hitter, f1ne tnroWer
and a fast man on the bases.
Carlyle was purchased this season
from the Boston Red Sox for use as
a substitute batter against right-hand
hurting. His batting average is close
to the 800 mark. Carlyle is an un-
certain fielder.
The Yanks are we'll fortified behind

was obtained from Washington on

TOUGH SERIES SEEN
BY RIVAL MANAGERS

NEW YORK, October 2 P).-
Rival managers of the world series
contenders, Miller Higgins of the
Yankees and Rogers Hornsby of
the Cardinals, joined in predicting
a hard-fought battle for the cham
pionship.
Hornsby said:
II am very optimistic. We have
a we'll balanced club, more so, in
my opinion, than the Yankees.
Without taking anything away
from the strength of our oppo-
sition, feel we have an edge
when all departments of play are
taken into considerable We're
going in. there to fight every step
of the way; We'll need to because
the Yankees are powerful and /
expect a close battle"
Higgins statement
"My team is in good shape.
I'm not picking the winner, but.
if the Yankees play as they did
in piling up their big lead last
Spring, I won't have any COM
plants. If they don't, why. that's
another story. I look for a hard

That brings us up to pitchers and
I think the superior world series ex-
perience of Huggins' veterans in that
department will turn the tide into his
favor. The schedule also is in Hug
gins favor. Should the series run
six games 1t will be stretched over
eight days. That means that Huggins
can afford to give Herb Pennock, star
Of his staff, four days between games
and perhaps use him in between as a
relief man.
Pennock did not fare so we'll in the
last month Of the season. but he has
pitched only once in the last two
weeks and has had a deserved and
needed rest. He pitched brilliantly
against the Giants three years ago
and, though Herb is now 80. he is
even a better pitcher today than he
was in 1923. He is one Of the coolest
players 1 ever saw on the ball field. a
pitcher who can arise to big occasions,
and I look for him to bring in two
victories.
The burly Shocker is going into this
series with the enthusiasm Of a boy.
The thrill Of a world series has been
denied him for many years and now
he is anxious to start against St.
Louis, the city in which he played for
many years and where he makes his
home. Shocker is smart and still can
bear down when occasion requires.
He has pitched against the Cardinals
in st. Louis city series and thinks he
knows how to pitch to them.
Ruether, Hoyt. Shawkey and Jones
all have world series experience.
Ruether probably will be Higgins
third pitching choice and Hoyt his
fourth. while ShaWkey and Jones will
be used as relief men.
Hornsby probably will start with
Alexander. use Sherdel against
Shocker and open in St. Louis with
Flint Rhem. I agree with those who

is a bundle of nerves and has a lot
of pitching tricks in his kit. He has
style which should go especially
good against a club which has not
