D6oN inspired ny lIlc JSIllOlG o1lOW
ing the Yankees made in the spring
training games through Florida.
Major and minor league clubs
kicked the YankS around in a most
unceremonial manner. Probably no
major league club ever made a more
sorry showing in preseason exhibit
ton games. The admitted greatness
of the Yanks has made this reversal
of form all the more surprising.
While il would be a great thing
for the American League race if
il were true that the YankS were
going, / will have to have more
conclusive proof than the mere
inability of the club to win in the
South.
THOSE familiar with the New
i York club know that despite its
greatness the YankS are a careless
team. To them the winning OF eX-
hibition games means less than any
other club in the majors. A great
many of the veteran stars are in
clined to be nonchalant IN the
spring. merely taking the games as
a workout rather than inter-league
battles.
For that reason, if there was no
other one, the atrCViOus showing the
Yanks have made in Florida
shouldn't be taken too seriously.
In some way I would prefer to
see the Yankees moving down the
opposition in the south without
exerting themselves. Such show
ing would have a tendency to make
the club even more careless and
breed overconfidence.
I fear that about Wednesday the
Yankees will resume their winning
WAYS and a month later will be
going at top speed, showing the way
in the American League by COM
Portable margin.
THOSE who are inclined to be-
il lieve that New York will have
difficulty in repeating offer these
reasons for such belief:
A catching staff that is none too
strong and contains several IFS as
to whether it will be as good as
last season.
The fact that all the veterans are
Just one year older than last sea-
son and it is known that added age
doesn't help the old-timers.
The belief that Pennock and Hoyt
will not be as effective as last sea-
SON
The hope, as we'll as the belief,
that neither Ruth nor Gehrlg can
be any better at the bat than last
season. It is contrary to all pre-
cedent to think they will be more
troublesome at the bat. Each had
a banner year.
The opinion that two successive
remnants with the attendant pros
perity may cause the club to lose
some of the enthusiasm always SO
helpful in putting over pennanV
winner.
Z
Possibly the Yanks are not go
ing to run over the field as they
did last year, but can't win my
self over to the belief that the
Yanks are going, based merely on
spring training results.

High protein offerings were strong

Winter wheat was firm to cent

Oats were in quiet to fair demand,

Flaxseed showing low moisture
