Yankees Look Good
Even When Games
Are Lost

One reason why the Yankees
are rated so highly in other
American League cities is that
they have won so many games
on the road this season, and
also because they looked so well
in the games which were lost.
Higgins men have got an even
break or better in every city in
the league.
They have outplayed the
Mackmen, Browns, White Sox
and Tigers on the home grounds
Of these clubs, and have broken
even in Cleveland, Boston and

The earliest date ever set for
football practice at Fordhan 10
announced by Coach CaVanaugh
as the grid men prepare to

The Yankee-White Sox series for

deals less in mere possibilities, how
ever. The White Sox, one Of the So
called sap teams of the training
camps, can jump the pace for the

four from the Yankees at the
stadium, starting today. No other
club is even close at this writing, so

Ossie BIuege's collapse this
spring is most unexpected and
his effectiveness at bat since
returning from the West has
been practically nil. A batting
average of .l46 isn't worth
mentioning and, while he keeps
silent, may have some bearing
upon his general falling off In
his own standard of play.
Sam Rice's failure is another
shock for Washington fans. He
has appeared in nine of the last
Ia contests and a batting average
Of .206 is far too low. for a major
league outfielder. But his season s
record is only .20s, so he may be
said to be holding his own.
While Washington's pitching
might be much more effective, it is
not entirely to blame for the teams

On the other hand, the Griffs
