Although the rain ceased before noon play would have been impossible, 80 that the fans were compelled to walt and watch and hope for revenge. Studying the opening game and fig- uring on the casual appearance of the two clubs, there js nothing to discourage the Yankee fans. The team to me looked a bit faster than I expected, and Huggins, by hi» manipulation of available material, scems to have added a trifle of speed. It is not a strong looking club. It is extremely slow and must depend upon its punch to overcome this slowness, URING the game I sat D Dr. Roy Miller. In baseball we talk of Wag- ner, Anson, Lajoie, Delehanty and other great swatters of bygone days, but when you get down among ball- players and ask them about hitters, a with the best they ever saw. He quit baseball some years ago and is practising medicine tn York, but occasionally he tears away from clinics and such things and watches games, His judgment of hitting and hitters is worth while. I listened to him while he batted mentally for each of the Yanks, and he enlightened me upon their strengths and weaknesses, It 1s not possible to tell what he said about each batter and about each pitched ball, but the sum total of his Judgment is that the Yanks will mur- der bad pitching and that the major- ity of them will be stopped short when the pitching is good, The way Mays stopped Duffy Lewis was to me the discouraging sign, Of course Lewis has not yet started to play at his real gait. He has been a slow starter for several seasons and lags in getting into condition, But Mays was pitching to a weakness which was perhaps known only to the Bosto.. club, and Lewis looked weak at bat. The truth is that if such a weakness on the part of a batter exists the entire league knows it within a short time and every pitcher attacks the known weak spot. I don't know whether Lewis has the vital weakness or not or whether his weak wing was the result of lack of practe’, but certainly Mays made him look bad at bat. Mays, by the way, ts not a pitcher to use In figuring either the strength or weakness of a batter. When he has control of his underhand bal he is practically unbeatable. When he lacks control he beats himself quick- ly ba becau: of what he does ainst Mays, because when that un- ne ball is lobbing and floating the best batters are helpless, McGraw reported one sign of hope in the face of defeat yesterday, He acquired Lee King, the famous out- fie! although why he ler is not clear. quite a ballplayer, and the fact that acquired his services and to George Smith Indicates ently hinted trade by whic the Giants will strengthen their ig staff may go through after | pt c all. | The time for cutting down ts at \haud, and a manager can in the next week afford to give four or five pretty fair athletes for one above average.
