Amono Present Crop

There are many angles TO hgure
on" the Yankee manager continued.
what sort Of year will Bill Dickey
have? How will our pitching staff
hold up-especially our younger
pitchers? How many games can
Red Ruffing win?
I'VE ought to get at least four
good starting pitchers from our
present crop, with two or three
others in reserve. But this is the
first time in five years we didn't
look to be set. You may remember
a year ago they had us rated at 8
to against the field. This was the
shortest price big league ball club
ever faced. But we still finished
third"
I'D say the most important point
We must face is our hitting. believe
our defensive play will be good
enough. believe that from Rufflng,
Chandler, Bonham. Sundra, Donald
and others well get our share Of
good pitching. But we've got to get
better hitting than we got year
ago, when only Di Maggie held up.

Life Had Been Too Easy
At This Time Lost Yeor

A year ago the Yankees were
odds-on favorites. The Tigers were
picked fifth or sixth. You may recall
what happened. It is easy enough
to understand why Mccarthy, after
this startling upset, doesn't care to
crawl too far out on the end of any
breakable limb. And baseball limbs
this season may be extremely break
able as Army camps begin to beckon
and the rife supplants the bat.
There is one factor that may
come to Yankee help. At this time
and spot last March they had won
four pennants in a row. They he'd
won four World Series in a romp
Life had been too easy, Why run
after something you alreadv had?
It was impossible to key them up.
The pennant was taken for granted
They couldn't lose.
This time it is all different. They
want the old homestead back They
were none to keen about that apart
ment in third place. So there is a
different spirit on the squad. They
have discovered they could use that
World Series swag in quite number
of ways. The urge to win will be
double what It was last spring.
1t is impossible to estimate how
much this will help. But it will help
plenty.

Winter Book Commissioners
Deliqhted BY Scratches.

Often they are scratched. to the
unholy delight of the bookmaker.
Sometimes they start and run poor

man in 1888, and Pompey in 1926.
To those who played him So
across the board in March-he was
down to even money in April
Bimelech brought a net profit of
81. What sort of gamble is that,
when the chances are in 10
against his reaching the post? And
when he hardly can pay less than
that at the track, on the day of
the race?
Stagehand was almost as short
a faVorite as Bimelech. three years
ago. He never got close to the
post.
Andy K, at 10-1, appeared ap-
petizing in last years winter book.
So did Carrier Pigeon and Roman
Flag, at 12-1; so did Flight Com
mand and Prompt Pay, at 2O-1, and
Fenelon, Little Risk and Robert E.
Lee, at 30-1. They were nowhere
to be seen on Derby day, and no
one-well, practically no one-has
heard of them since.
That will be lesson to the class.

rich on Derby horses in March. 1t

am looking over the list right now.

Decline in Yonkee Power
Revealed in Fiioures

Here are some facts about the
1910 decline in Yankee power:
Red Rolfe. who batted .311 in 1898
and 329 in 1889, dropped to $50
in 1910.
Bill Dickey dropped from life
time average of .317 to .248.
Charley Keller dropped from 334
10 .286.
George Twink selkirk fell from
.306 to 269
Crosetti plunged from .233 to 1874.
Even the great Di Maggie skidded
80 points.
Bill Dickey expects to move back
around 300 again. Keller hopes to
get back to his 1889 range. Hope
springs eternal in the baseball
breast, especially in March and
April.
Just how hard Rizzuto and Priddy
will paste the flying pellet against
the big league pitching is something

on top of energetic Joe Cox, another

and it had not been struck.

1T Horses Nominated in 40,
But Only Eiqht Reoch Post.

From our trusty wall safe, at
this point, we draw a copy Of a
winter book for 1910. From another
compartment of the same secret
niche, we take a chart of the run
ming of the 1910 Derby.
Listed by the bookmakers are 127
horses at various odds. The chart
shows that eight of them reached
the post. This is the way they
finished:
Gallahadion, Bimelech. Dit, Mo-
land, Sirocco, Roman, Royal Man,
Pictor.
Gallahadion paid $500 to / at
the track. In the winter book, he
was 80 to land you can count
those who bet on him on the tip
of your nose. In his case, as with
most long shots, it is better to wait
until Derby day, when you know
he is going to run. You'll get
almost as good a price at the track
as you will in the book; sometimes
better.
This is the way the eight horses
who ran in the race were listed in
the winter book. two months be-
forehand. Remember, they were
only eight out of l27, with no as
terisk beside their names to show
that they, and they alone, would
reach the post:

New York Yankees
We attempted % wheedle the cor
rect answer or the right guess from
Manager Mccarthy himself-with no
great success.
I'D tell you if I knew" Joe said,
"but I don't. We still have a fine
outfeId with Di Maggie. Keller. Sell
kirk and Heinrich But we have
new infield, with men now at short
and second who never have played
big league ball You know what short
and second mean to ball club. Riz-
zuto and Priddy are two OF the best
minor league infielders that ever
moved up. But only actual compe-
tition after the season opens can
give us the full story
And there still is the chance that
Rizzuto may be caught In the draft
at an early date.
Gordon was a fine second base
man" Mccarthy said, Il believe
he'll be Just as good at first. But
that's still a guess. This might be
one of the best of the Yankee in
fields with Rolfe back in shape, but
no one can tell until the big stuff is
on. I'm not worried about their
defensive side But it also takes
runs to win ball games, and it takes
hard hitting to get runs.

jittery suspense until after noon to-
morrow, when the location of the

True to the traditions of the old
time point-tO-point, the committee
will not divulge the location of the
course until shortly before 2 p m.
when the first race will be called.
The card consists of two races,
the first for individuals plotting
their mounts over a five mile course
somewhere in the neighborhOod Of
Warrenton, and the second a team
race over a similar mysterious course
Of about six miles.
Renowned Riders Entered.
A large entry will strive for the
valuable trophies. A partial list
of the entries contains the names
of several noted cross-country
riders and equally renowned hunters.
Among them are Mrs. Robert c.
Windmill who will be riding her
game mare Rosette. This splendid
combination paired with Miss Ma
talie Hazard won the team race last
year. F. H. Prince, jr., Of Orange
County Hunt will ride his able
hunter Main Spring; Francis T.

patrick. E. Gardner Prime will be
up on his Mischief Pullen Hughes
has entered a good hunter called
Middleburg and Miss Mildred Gains

T. Beatty Brown up Crompton
Smith, having recovered from a re-
cent operation, will ride Mowgli
Saturday. Cheyenne, owned by Mrs.

Hunt. also should be a factor in the
/ individual race. The sterling mare
has regained her 1899 form in which
she won the Riding and Hunt Club
Plate and the Dunboyne Chal-
| lenge Cup.
There also is a splendid entry in
| the team race. A few of them being
Lucie Duer who will ride her good

Early Betting on Derby

NEW YORK, March IA tNA.
NAD.-Weekly report of the Derby
Horse Club
Folk who are planning to pick the
winner of the Kentucky Derby
should have some idea of what they
are up against in this, the most
popular of all the guessing games
in sports.
To give you an index, We dig back
into the files for 1910. You probably
know that certain bookmakers pub
lish and circulate future line"
of odds at this time every year
about two months before the run
ming of the Derby. The rule is
play-or-pay: If your horse fails to
start in the race, you still lose your
bet. Considering that only a dozen
or Is reach the post on Derby day,
out of more than 100 original en-
tries, you practically are licked to
begin with.
Once in a while, though, you sock
one on the noSe-and from then
on you are a chronic victim of the
winter book" germ. Your cor
respondent admits bashfully that
he came up with Johnstown two
years ago, in March, at odds of IL
to l. On the day he won the race,
Big John was to S. A stroke of
luck like that will make you
sucker for life. No longer can you
