Yankee Pilot
Confident of
A.L.Pennant
Miller Higgins Says New
York Team Is Stronger
Than in 1927.
Copyright. 1928. BY united PRESS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
81 really believe the Yankees
are stronger than they we're last
year." Miller Higgins diminutive
manager Of the worlds champions,
told the United Press in an eXclu-
Sive interview today.
But" he added promptly, II do
not look forward to anything like
the runaway we enjoyed in 1927"
The shrewd little pilot who has
steered the New York Yankees to
five American League remnants in
the past seven seasons, a record
unequaled in the history of the ma
tional pastime, feels confident that
this year means just another tri-
umph for his club.
I'VE have improved all down the
line said Higgins, "and I still be-
lieve we have the best ball club
in baseball
Il think we still have the pitch
ing he argued. "A great deal de-
ponds upon it, of course. We have
released Reuther and Shawkey, and
Shocker, a great spit-ball pitcher of
particular effectiveness in the
spring, has retired. In their places,
we have Stan Coveleskie, Henry
Johnson and Al Shealy.
"Covy, I believe, will do well. al
though he was hit kind of hard
Thursday Then there is Pipgras.
ready to take his regular turn. and
MyleS Thomas, about due to work
steadily.
Opposition? Well, I think we
may expect our strongest opposition
from the Athletics, who will be
helped greatly by Speaker and Cobb
and who have picked up quite a nice
pitcher in Ossie Orwell, who was
with Milwaukee last season.
The Senators look better than
last year and they, too, should make
things interesting With these two
Contenders improved, the race
should be tighter, but don't over
look our own Improvement"

PLAY CINCY SATURDAY
Bethel Keeps HooSierS HuS-
Ting in Practice.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

PLANT CITY, Fla, March
23.-FolIowing two practice
sessions Thursday that were
the longest and best of the
spring training grind in Plant
City, the Indians of Bruno Bet
eel were prepared to motor to
Palmetto today to tackle the
Buffalo Bisons in a return ex-
hibition tilt.
The fact the Bisons finished out
in front over the HoosierS in
Wednesdays game at Plant City
didn't set well with the Bethel boys
and the tOSSers wearing Tribe colorS
were burning up to hand the Inter
national League champions a
f1ogging this afternoon.
It's a tough week closing for the
Indians for they will cover many
miles today and Saturday. If
weather does not interfere with to-
days long journey to Palmetto, the
TribeSmen won't get much rest
after the return trip tonight be-
cause they must hop cut early and
scorch the highways to Orlando to
I'LL date with the Cincinnati Reds,
Saturday afternoon. The Orlando
arrangements also call for the ath-
letes to jump back to Pant City for
a Sunday rest before claShing with
the Cincy Reds again Monday on
the Tribes spring training lot.
Dixie Leverett, veteran right
handler and Herman Meyers. youth
full left handler, were slated for Tribe
mound duty against Buffalo at
Palmetto this afternoon. A third
pitcher was to be used, if needed, &C
cording to Manager Bethel. who
planned to pilot a squad of nine
teen players to the March home Of
the BiSong.

Indianapolis, and they intend to
bear down heavily in the remain
ing exhibition games in Florida in
an effort to build up their reputa-
ton before showing before the
home fans in indianapolis.
AS for Thursdays practice in
Plant City it had all the earmarks
of actual labor. Manager Bethel
Gale dior intensified batting drill
and he found way to get it. He
simply used two pitchers at once at
different places in the spacious
Plant City park and the hitters were
kept busy walking back and forth
and taking three swings at each
place.
All ball players love batting
practice and some of the Indians
raised hand blisters Thursday keep
ing up with the pace of Betzel's ar
rangement.
The FASTENERS were in their uni
forms by 10 o'clock Thursday

the Importance of an epochal event.
But taking the dispatch and peering
intently between the simply
phrased lines-peering into the soul
of the thing, as you might say
you run right smack-da into de-
velopment you had been expecting
all spring.
Namely and to wit: The in
fuence of Rogers HOrnS5y on the
present and future conduct of the
Boston club. Nobody put that
deal over but your friend Rogers,
and if any subsequent deals are
put over or vital changes made
in the lineup or field operations
of that club he'll make 'em.
IN short, your friend Rogers is al
Il ready beginning to function as
the actual manager of the team to
which he was traded in a moment of
Falstaffian merriment by Mr.
Charles A. Stoneham of the Giants
last winter.
Noninally the manager still is
Pack Slattery and he is in a tough
spot. He got the job a couple of
weeks before Mr.. StOneham made
his celebrated decision that the in
terests of the Giants would be best
served if they tried to get along
without a second baseman.
Later when Hornsby was signed
to a three-year contract at $4,000
which is about four times the
amount Slattery signed for-the
manager automatically became a
dgure of reduced Importance; King
Emanuel to a MuSSolini.
And while Judge Emil Fuchs,
president of the club, assured all
and sundry that SIattery would
continue to manage the club and
that HOrnsby would serve merely
in the capacity of captain, it
wasn't in the cards for the ar
rangement to work out that way.
1T is not easy to keep these $40 1000
i a-year boys with managerial i'm
pulses in the background. And
maybe they shouldn't be. Horns
by fits into that convenient classifi-
cation known as a natural leader.
He dominated the Cards even be-
fore he was manager, and he was
no insignificant figure in the Giants
lineup year ago.
Ultimately. of course, Hornsby
will move into the job without res
erVations.

team and end on the football team
morning and after a short luncheon
rest they returned to action and
kept occupied until 2:3O. Pitcher
followed pitcher and even outfielder
Reb Russell and Chef Russell, rookie
first sacker, were pressed into service
on the mound to keep the hitters
hustling.
The batting splurge was ordered
by Manager Bethel who is striving
ernestly to bring out a punch in
his club. He has what appears to
be a formidable outfit on paper, but
in all but one of the exhibition tits
to date the team has failed to come
through as expected on the attack.
Infeld practice at the Indians
spring training park, Thursday, was
a dandy. 1t followed the double
sessions of batting drill and the
ginger jar was split wide open by the
FASTENERS who represent the inner
defense.
n
Coach Corriden hit many fast
ones to the infeld guardians as
Manager Bethel called for more
speed and ShOrtStOp Warstler's
ground covering skill again stood
out. If this lad produces in games
in the same manner he does in
practice he'll have the home fans
screaming glad tidings.
Walter Holke, first sacker. both
cred by a spring training batting
slump, extended himself during in
field drill Thursday and scOoped UP
many hard drives to his right that
were his weakness last season.
Bud Connolly worked out at
third after Fred Haney retired and
the little fellow fitted right into
the hot pace set. He is among the
best hustlerS in camp.
Ferd Schupp has a wild spell on
the mound Thursday and one of his
pitches crippled Catcher Roy Spen-
Ger, who was batting at the time.
The ball struck Spencer on the left
leg below the knee and finished him
for the day.
A. C. Clouds, Big Four telegraph
operator of Indianapolis, who &C
companied the main squad of In
dams South for a vacation, has re-
turned home bristling with glowing
hopes for winning tea mat Wash
ington Park. He scored a popular
hit with all the players by not miss
ing single practice and taking in
all the games.
Catcher Paul Florence, the lone
Tribe holdout, has been a camp
absentee several days. He was
called home on an important matter
and he departed without signing his
contract. He left the impression
with Manager Bethel ne would agree
to terms on his return. But regard
less of the manner in which the
controversy ends, Florence doubtless
will face a penalty when Owner
Perry returns from Cuba, his des-
tination when he left Plant City on
Wednesday night.
