Huggins Now Has Four ‘‘Clean- Up’’ Batters Ping Bodie, Del Pratt, Baker and Hannah Give Local Team Hitting Strength It Never Possessed—M any Promising Youngsters on Club’s Roster. | MACON, GA., March 23. OWN here on the banks of the D Ocmulgee, where the mocking birds sing in the magnolias and the Southern sun thaws out the bones of the veteran ball player and turns them into youngsters again, Miller Huggins is preparing to lead northward a team which since last year has been transformed from the} one with the weakest punch in the American League to an aggregation which looks to pack the healthiest kick of them all. The metamorphosis | largely is wrought through the cor-| ralling of Ping Bodie, the noted fence | buster of the Athletics and Derrill| Pratt, the former clean-up man of the Browns. | With the addition of Bodie and} Pratt to tho Yankee ranks, the New | York American Leaguo Club of 1918 will havo in its batting order four | men whose slugging abilities earned them clean-up positions—Bodie with the Athletes, Pratt with the Brown ies and Yankees Pipp with the Yankee: and Cer- | gers can be considered lacking * 18 CERTAIN TO BE A ENT STORY FROM LAST WHEN THR YANKEES SHUT OUT TWENTY | AND IN THIRTY-O ONLY ONE RUN. In addition to Bodie and Pratt the Yankees will come North further strengthened by the addition of “Truck” Hannah, @ stalwart rookie backstop from the Pacific Coast League, who bears all the earmarks of being of big league timber, In the short time Huggins has had to size | him up Truck hag displayed a fine throwing arm, a good baseball head and an undimmed/batting eye. tf; Hannah can hit’ curve ball pitching with the accuracy and force he can wallop the fast ones, then Bodie, Pratt, Baker and Pipp certainly will have to look out for thelr slugging laurels, BECK TOO HAS FOUND HIS BATTING EYE, While Zinn Beck was let loose by Huggins when Miller managed the Cardinals, it by no means is certain that Zinn, who once more finds hun- self under the authority of Huggins, TIMES CAMBS MADR oD will be kept with the Yankees all season. Beck's great throwing arm alone may cause Huggins to retain him, Beck also is picking up in his hitting, and has been clouting the ball promiscuously in the practice games here. After seeing Bech triple a man home here the other day Huggins shook his head gl fully and remarked to Roger Pe n- paugh: “That bird @ertainly has improved some since I let him go from uh Cardinals. In addition to Bodle, Pratt, nah and Beck, Hugeins will North with him several players who, while with the Yanks for a short time near the end of last season, | still cannot figure ax old familiar faces on the Polo Grounds, Included among the youngsters fighting for a place on the team are Sam Vick, and “Muddy” Ruel, the Memph speed boy; Howard Camp, the for- mer Saliy League st si.
