PAGE SIX HOPE OF YANKS LIES IN SWAT KINGS OF TRAM Billy Evans Says Better Teams Than Yanks Have Repre- sented New York TEAM SLOW ON BAS! BY BILLY EVANS World’s Greatest Baseball Expert | New York, Oct. 3—Greater teams | thdh the New York Yankeés have | represented the American League in| the world series, but never ‘a ‘club| with more color. A team possessing remarkable | power at the bat, coupled with a good | defense and fair pitching, the Yankees | found it a very difficult matter, in- | deed, to win the American League | pennant. i The New York team has for several | years been the enigma of the Ameri- ean League. With an offense ap- parently sufficient to crush any op~| position, the Yankees have been in- and-outers. At times the.club looks like the greatest aggregation “ever gotten together. Yet almost over- | nieht the same club can look very | ordinary. "These. sudden. reversal of forms can perhaps, be best explained by types. The New York Yankees from the top of the batting order down to the pitchers, is a team that can hit. Tt is a team that likes to hit. | It plays the slashing style of a game to the exclusion of all others. When it is hitting, it looks great. The crack of the old bese tends to enthuse,! pnd the general nlav of the club re-| flects the enthusiasm. / MORALE SUFERS On the other hand the Yankees | are easily depressed. Batting slumps are apart of baseball. No matter how great a hitter the individual, there are times during the season | when he suffers a slump. | Batting slumps are unexplainable. | They just happen. When a couple} of good hitters slumb, it is very of- | ten contagious, the inability to hit | spreading through the entire team,| It is at such times that the New York Americans look like the or- dinary ball club; It is .not’a team that fights \its hardest when in such | a slump, but rather’a team that takes } it as a matter of course. §uch an attitude has® at several times. nearly | proven fatal to the club’s chances. Failure to hit ‘naturally affects | the temperament and spirit of the player or players. In a Sreat many |? cases, the slump in batting is fol-'| lowed by a similar let-up in the field. Worry over both, invariably clogs up the thinking apparatus, and it is not the unusual to have.a bunch of dumb plays work themselves into the pic- ture. * A team made up of free-swinging | hitters, batters with tendency to hit for extra bases, is the type most} liable to suffer batting slumps. | The| New York Americans is just such al team. SLOW ON THE BASES The Yankees are slow on the bases, and very naturally this slowness of | foot is reflected in the work afield. It is a team that lacks a varied at- tack, but how those athletes ean hit the ball! I seriously doubt if thére ever was a team more dangerous at the bat from the standpoint of slugging strength, pure and simple. Home: runs are snothing out of the ordinary in the lives of the Yankees. ny man on the club, and I don't |; except the pitchers, is liable to “bust” one for a homer at any time. If a pitcher elects to pass Ruth, he must face Meusel. If he refuses to take a chance on Meusel, then he must pitch to Pipp. If Pipp looks dangerous, there looms up “Home Run” Baker of the old days. After Baker comes Ward and then Schang, both take a _ dangerous cut | vat the ball. ~ Even the lead-off men, Miller and Peckinpaugh, loom up in the home- run column, while Carl Mays and Bob Shawkey usually come through? with a couple of home runs every year. MOST INTERESTING TEAM The Yankees certainly are a color- ful aggregation. There is no getting | away from it. Despite its slowness | of foot, and the fact that at times the club can look very ordinary, it, is one of the most interesting ag- gregations that has ever represent- | ed_a major league in the ‘big. series. | ‘ It, is a team noted for its hitting | ability. Fandom has demonstrated | that. it loves the slugper, and the | New York Yankees lineup fairly | teems with sluggers. It is a club | that gets runs. in huge clusters, In_a_.very important series with | the Washington club before the clos i of the season, it scored 59 runs in| In one of the all-important | 6 games. games in the final clash with Cleve- | Jand. it went out and scored 21 runs | Such hitting should cer- | encourage- | for Mavs. tainly be considerable ment for any pitching staff. PITCHING STAFF: WOBBLES What about the Yankees pitching staff? During the final stages of the race the staff wobbled badly, due ta Shawkev’s ininred orm and a! tendency on the part of Mays to have | ~one bad inning. Shawkey has had a pecular season. | ‘A sore arm handcapped him for about six weeks at thé start. Then he hit his stride. and for a eounle of | months was the most denendable man on the staff. The fall weather brought a return of the sore arm, and- with it a reversal of form. Mays, a glutton for work, who has | SLUGGING OUTFIELD OF YANKEES & The mighty Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Elmer Millerand Roth ake upthe New York“Amer- ;. icans slugging out on which the Yankees place much hopes inthe world ip to be aaa with the Giants. SPORT WORLD TURNS 10 WORLD SERIES AS MAJOR SEASON ENDS; iNew York, Oct. 3—With the ma- jor league baseball season passed into history the eyes of the sport- ing world and that includes nearly everybody are turning toward the polo grounds. There will be held the struggle for the title of world’s cliampions. The first game is October 5, The National League champions finished the season with a defeat received plenty of it, seemed to show the effect of it at the finish, by a tendency to let down at some stage. In most of his games he was foy- itunate enough to get plenty of hit- iting, so that his one bad inning habit was no handicap on his winning. Hoyt in the final stages was at the jtop of his game, which makes. it seemethat he will play a prominent part in the clash with the Giants. * TO DEPEND ON TRIO Thus it is apparent that Manager Huggins will confine his pitching ‘se- lections ‘to three men, Mays, Shaw- key and Hoyt. Jack Quinn, the lveteran spitball pitcher, is prone to come through with a brilliant game, just. when most of the fans have about forgotten that he was with the team. It wouldn’t surprise me if Quinn got a chance, against the Giants, who Hike snitball. pitching none too well. In Harry Harper. and “Rip” Col- jlins, the Yankees have two peculiar ipitchers. No left-hander in the American League has_ more stuff than Harper, no sright- hander than Collins, Yet it is questionable if either will get a chance, Both lack poise. They have a habit of developing a wild streak at a most. inopportune time. Lack of control. may prevent. either from getting a chance to start. ‘Harper, however, turned in several brilliant exhibitions. of nitching at ithe close of the race, and if. Huggins is hard pressed, will get his chance. Like the Giants staff, the Yankees is good, but not great. There is a possible chance that two combinations. may appear-in the Yankees infield. One. would have Pipp at first, Ward -at second, Peck- innaugh at short and Baker-at third. The other would have the first three named with McNally holding, WINS PENNANT Miller Huggins, once famous | second ¢ baseman, manager of Cincinnati Nationals and New | York Americans, finally is with la pennant winner. He managed the New York Americans in their drive for the flag. by their old rivals, the Brooklyn ‘Superbas, yes:erday, while the Yanks wound up by winning from ‘ the Boston: Red’ Sox. Pittsburgh maintained ‘second: place in the ‘National League by a victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Browns won the third place in the American:circuit by subduing the Detfoit Tigers, Cleveland lost its final contest to Chicago. down third. An injury to-Baker gave McNally ms chance, and he certainly made good. While lacking the hitting power of Baker, he held his own at the bat, and fairly sparkled in“ the field. / His defensive play proved of such value, as the Yankees came) into the home stretch, that he was kept at thd atten Baker.Swas in condition to play. Either Baker or. MéNally will fill the bill at third. - Baker will improve the offense of the team, McNally the defense. It is’a matter for Huggins to decide which is of most’ importance to the team. At short is Peckinpaugh, one of the greatest. in. the business. With Scott, ‘he share the premier honors in-the American: League. At second is Ward, ‘a mighty fine fielder and a dangerous batsman. Pipp, at first, is afar better player than generally given credit for. He will unhold the honor for the Ameri- can League at the initial sack. It is| a good infield, but hardly compares with Steinfeldt, Tinker, Evans» and Chance, or Baker, Barry, Collins-and McInness. » SUPERMAN ADORNS ourriet | In the outfield the Yankees have the. outstanding figure of baseball; the superman of all times: “Babe” Ruth Seldom, if ever, has a.world series offered so big’ a bee as an added attraction. The ordinary world series usually proves - most interesting, but with Babe Ruth as_ the added-attraction; the series is provided with an extra, thrill! The ‘deeds of Ruth at ‘bat are’ too well known to need any additional mention; it suffices to say that he hits them wheré-no one clse does. His every appearance at the plate in the big event will provide a most ex: citing moment, Supporting him in tho outfield: is Bob Meusel, almost ‘as dangerous, a right-hand hitter, and Elmer Mille:, who has most acceptablly filled the weak spot in center field. SCHANG TO DO CATCHING “In all probability, most of the catching will 'bé done by Schang, al- though Devormer,. when given a chance, proved his ability to be classed as a real big leaguer: Schang is catching the best ball of his career. At the bat he.is always dangerous. It was his home run’that decided the final game with Cleveland, | a game that meant 80 much to both clubs. * The New York “Americans ‘js a good team that has great. possibili- ties. It is a team that often fails to get the most out of its possibilities. It has its faults, but there is no denying that it is the most colorful aggregation that ever won the right to play in the-big show. What it) will do remains to be seem. (Copyright, 1921, N. E. A.
