TOO MUCH TALENT
IS yANKS' TROUBLE.
May Have to Form g" Team
in Order to Let Some of
Men Get Action.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK. January 18.-If the
Yankees keep up their present
VI pace in pennant-winning as
1 we'll as In player purchasing 1t
may be necessary for them TO
put "B" team on the field, as some
of the colleges are doing In foot ball.
To revive American League competition
and give the surplus talent something
to do.
They will have the material to do 1t
by 1929. at any rate. The club already
has a second baseman, shortstop and
few pitchers tagged for delivery next
year or later.
The wto-team idea would relieve
Miller Higgins of no little embarrass-
ment when his recruits, such as Lyn
Larry and Jimmy Reese. start reporting
for action and bidding for places on an
outfit that looks good enough now to
withstand most tests for at least TWO
or three years to come.
Plans Are Suggested.
Games might b. arranged on TIL"
home -and-homc basis. If the other
American League clubs fell in with the
idea. While team "A" was engaging
the Athletics at the Yankee Stadium.
team ''B" would oppose the Philadel-
phia seconds at Shibe Park. Or Hug
gins might split up his first string nine
and put Gehrig or Ruth with team
"B" occasionally to attract the custo-
mers.
To offer a further alternative, Hug
gins might borrow the Notre Dame
system. starting his second string team
as shock troops and rushing In the
regulars when the reserves appeared TO
be- weakening. 1t would be an inter-
esting sight to see Ruth. Gehrig.
Lazzeri. Meusel and the rest OF the
regulars dash out of the dugout. along
about the fifth inning. and swing into
action against a visiting aggregation
that had been finding holes in the de-
Tense put by Larry. Reese. Gazella.
Now that the Yankees and Giants
have dipped into the player market
with a few startling gestures every clup
in either major league has something
TO show for record breaking Winter
