When the Yankees get good pitching they can win like any other club, and ting is often insufficient to carcy taem through. Up to the present time no member of the Yankees has shown that he posesses the baseball intelligence of the diminutive manager. Huzzins may lack’ magnetism, but he certainly knows baseball, and knows more of it than any man under his command, New Yorkers are inclined to over- estimate the strength of the Yankees and underestimate the task of Huggins.
