th Bunis & finished second in the recent tradeXor Pratt and Bddie Plank. He thinky highly of Pratt and says that Derrill's injuped wrist is all O. K. again, and that he can hit.the ball hard, is young and aggressive and full of ginger. | Haggins thinks pretty well of his in- field and is glad that he has that wor- Iy off his mind. As for Eddie Plank not playing next season, Huggins does not believe it. He thinks the ancient southpaw will turn in some £00d games with €he Yankees. Plank and his brother Ira have garage on the Lincoln Highway Gettysburg, and they found it a pr perous proposition. But Huggins thinks that brother Ira can take care of the business while brother Iddie whips over his crossfire-shoots for the Yankees. The Yanks new pilot is making his first appearance in the American League, and he.says that, as far as he has been able to judge, there is a difference in the playing systems of the two organizations. In the Nation- al League, Hug says, the bats- men wait out the pitchers more than | they do in the Ban Johnson organiza- ton. There is more hit-and-run play | in the American league, he says, while in the National the sacrifice hit game is more widely used. Muggins isstrong | for the bunt game. One of the first things he is going to drill into the Yankees is the importance of being able to drop down a bunt. ¥ Hug- ginsisucceeds, the Yankees-will look a | lot better than they have for the last | few seasons. | Huggins also had something to say | about the charge that ho led the Na- | tional league last season in changing | pichers. New York fans will bo | redher pleased if Huggins does change | his pitchers when they show signs of weakening, because last season Bill Donovan had a tendency to leave his pitchers on the-mound until they were haxemered over-thehills and far away. Huggins says he did change tho Cardinal pitchers quite often last yesr, but this was because the St. Louis clwb was losing and winning games by such a. narrow margin that the flingers had ta be yanked just as«soon as they showed signs of hitt- ing-the down grade. The year before Jest. FHuggins says, the fans were affer him all the time because he &'t change his pitchers often enough. Hoggins says that:when.hezhad Pol Perritt in St. Louis, he used to keep him on the momnd when he was being hit because Pol was new then and he wanted to-break him into the game right. He believes that it Is a midstake to yank young ptchers if it | Is not absolutely mecessary. If a ‘I ciub has a good pitching staff, Hug- gins explained, it is not necessary to change pitchers often, but if the pitchers are errafic they have to be changed often. Fluggins aired his opinions about curbing the pitchers so that thero would be more batting. Fe said tho best way to make more hitting was to cut down the pitching staffs and then there would not be so much of a chance to change pitchers. The Yan- kee leader stated, however, that he doubted whether the fans wantea more hitting or run getting, for the agree a at F JUDGES DECISION AT NEW ORLEANS TRACK—HARVARD PAPER U HUGGINS ARRIVES IN METROPOLIS RGES INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS D UR- TO START WORK OF REBUILDING YANKS—BASKETBALL GAMES TONIGHT a Grand and Glorious Feelin’?

(New York Tribuna,, HARVARD PAPER FAVORS ATHLETICS | “Crimson” Comes Out for Re-| sumption of Intercollegiates Feb. —Strengthened Iy the example of Princeton and Yale, who through their undergrad- uates have made known that a return to intercollegiate activities would not be amiss, the Harvard “Crimson’ contributes its mite to the turmoil and editorially suggests that intercol- legiate competiion be resumed, ths “Crimson™ states in part: “Within the last fortnight Yalo and Princeton have unofficially come out for intercoHegiate athletics this spring. Harvard has yet to mmake known her position, but the vast ma jority of undergraduates are certain- ly heart and soul for some form of intercollegiate games. “It has been well proved that to keep an interest in a sport it is ne- cessary to meet rivals of a similar status and playing under similar elig- ibility rules. Harvard unofficially is unquestionably for the-resumption of intercollegiate games. High-Priced Coaches Doomed. “This does not mean we have to rush back to the old system with its numerous faults. We do not need to have coaches drawing enormous salaries, nor advertising campaigns to attract crowds of thousands. We simply desire to play in a contest with teams which are like our own. Baseball and possibly track could be dragged out along informal lines, but to try to have an informal crew would be the height of absurdity. rowo facts argue strongly for in- téreollegiate games. The first is that the President of the United States and the leading men of the war de- partment advocate them. Second, the colleges which have maintained an intercollegiate system have not shown thefr patriotic fervor or their interest in their nation’s affairs has Cambridge, present gemeration of baseball patrons had been educated to close. ball games | witir small tallies, and if a change was | made to curb the pitcher the pans would have to get accustomed | to the old state of affairs all over pgain.
