In the American League the
Yankees continue their murderous

they gave the Athletic pitchers an
awful hammering. Higgins also is

moved along without the necessity Of
changing a pitcher. Then they start

Both the Athletics and Yankees
again are listed at .525. The Yanks

a good club. and it win get better
when the men get accustomed to
PLAYING together. I believe the Ath-
letics' pitching staff is bound TO i'm
prove, though Eddie Rommel is not
the pitcher that he was several years
ago:
Grove apparently makes the mis-
take of putting all he has on every
bitch. He pitches about three or four
scoreless innings and strikes out about
FIVE men. After that the bingles whis
tie all around him. So far Ty Cobb
is holding up very well for Mack and
Eddie Collins is starting to hit after
a feeble start.
In the National League, the Giants
have failed 10 make their expected
strong start against the supposed
..easy picking" of the East. The loss
of Sh0rtstop Jackson hurt. While
Roush also sprung a charleyhorse.
Eddie has been subject TO these
sprained tendons for the last two

injured Roush had a mere $50 aver

the ball, some one always caught it.
