; . “old and new, view of YANKEES AND GIANTS Little Norman McMillan | AT THE YANKS’ OPENING Fills Babe Ruth’s Shoes In Sen The Yanks’ Demon Slugger Watches His “Sub” Star in Opening Game With Sena- tors, Hitting Ball Safely Three Times. By Bozeman Bulger. BYES of New York fans have feasted on another star, recently arisen in our midst. Norman McMillan filled the bill. The avg has put a ring around his name. Tt was a sort of ico cream festival but, even so, this young man wearing the big shoes of Babe Ruth, won his Spurs on epening day—the first crack out of the box. ‘There was early sorrow at the sight of the Bambino, crouched tn a box back of the players’ bench all bundled ‘up in an ulster and golf cap, a picture ef gloom. But it was short lived. “Give us u peek at the new guy,” Some one yelled at Miller Huggins, “and let's go.'* ‘There was a runner on at the time and two out. McMillan, feeling a little wobbly in the foot gear of the mighty Bambino, and ip the front of a home crowd for the first time—a big league bome—walked to the plate. “He's too little,” cracked another Tooter between shivers. ‘He's a hulf ortion."S Mogridge buzzed a curve on the out- wide corner—Bang! The hit inte centre was a clean mack. The other runner skidded around to third. In another moment both trotted home on Pipp's long triple to the fence, “He'll do,” said Babe Ruth, to those immediately back of him. “If the Judge don’t let me back soon I won't ave no job.” But McMillan didn't stop there. Twice more the youngster came to bat and poked the pill to safety. On the second cr.ck he drove in two runs, In other words this heretofore un- known substitute made three hits on his first appearance in a Yank uni’ form, leading the entire bunch of slux- gers. Next to him) came Pipp with two good pokes, a and a double, — ‘As-the bleak pastime proceeded fans, he said, pointing to Camp Skinner and to Whitey Witt, both of whom stood, Dianketed and waiting. Further than that the Yank man- ager would no chances. Having the game 'y well sewed .p he let his line-u; go through just as it started. ‘There will be a right-handed pitcher working for the Senators to-morrow. Then will Witt, recently acquired from the Athletics, appear. Tt was thought Huggins would puil out Fewster and put in the more ex- Perienced Witt at the start. But it is evident that the Yank leader fntendr to make an outfielder out of Fewster despite what critics have said on the road. He was not far wrong yester- day. Fewster not only played bril- Mantly in the outfield but he made a two-base hit and a single. This opening appearance of the was robbed of much of its enthusiasm by the biting wind that chilled to the mar- WORKERS FOR RUTH . KEEP ON PLUGGING —EE \ Over 15,000 Petitions Sent to Landis Asking Babe's Re- instatement, Baseball Commissioner Landis's failure to act upon the petitions that have been sent him for the reinstate- ment of Babe Ruth has by no means stopped the workers who have inter- ested themselves in the case of the slugger. The following is a supple- mentary letter to the baseball boss and it is hoped that it will prove more fruitful than the one sent him | week ago: April 20, 1922, Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Chicago, Ml.

For a while the chilly northwest wind blew so hard that the new pennant was stripped from its mast, “Ti! say the Yanks Jost this pen nant quick,’’ yelled Nick Altrock, clowning around the home plate at the time. A few months ago when the Yanks bought Jones and Bush the scouts de- clared that if they could win twenty games between them the New York club would run away with the pen- nant. If that be true we might us well begin getting ready for another world’s series right here at home. Al- ready Jones and Bush have won. It's 4 long time ‘til fall, The Washington club was a disap- pointment to the oldtimers From re- ports they had expected a snappy, gressive club, with a punch, The Sen- ators were nothing of the kind. They stopped around just as if thoy were ‘til the Washington club, Much of this may have been dus to the wea- ther, The Yanks, @ motter, of fact, played little eball. It was simply a lam and ban, Thirteen hits made ten runs and that's all there is to it. There wasn't much baseball. It wus too cold.

S early as the second week in A the 1922 pennant the Giants are °. giving a display of their po- tential strength that is even notice- able to thelr most arch enemies. Early In the season there was some talk of the inferior pitching staff of the New York National club that some predicted would ultimately cast them on the rocks of despair before the leaves began to fall in the autumn. “The Giants ‘will not need a pitching staff at all," remarked one of the rabid Brooklyn fans, “if their heavy artillery hits the way they did in the opening game at Mbbetis Field agains: the Dodgers.’" And there was much truth in the statement for the world's champions just fell on ‘‘Dazzy" Vance in the firat inning, scoring three runs and accumulated a like number in the second chucker, Pp The way.the Giants played and batted behind “Shufflin' * Phil Doug- las In the opener was a revelation to the 10,000 fans who shivered In their winter furs and heavy overcoats. Phil just went along tn his customary lazy fashion, putting saliva on the ball, and his teammates played and batted like real champions behind him, Davy Bancroft leading off, Rawlings following; then the formidable Groh Pep Young, Meusel and George Kelly, This time last year the Dodgers started to give the Giants some merry beatings, and although at the termin- ation of the season the Giants werr the National League champions, Robby's club from across the river had beaten them in the majority of the season's contests, But judging from the way the Giants have been Plastering the Robins so far this sea- son it looks like another tale this year. Tt is not fair to use yesterday's game as a criterion to determine the ability of the Dodgers. It was too cold, and ‘Dazzy’’ Vance did not get warmed up before he was on his way to the showers and the world’s cham- pions had scored six runs. The Giants had all the better of the base~ ball breaks tn the 1922 opening of the McKeever Stadium. The Giants and their friendly en- emies from across the river will re- new thetr four-game series this after- noon with “Dutch’’ Reuther pitching for the Dodgers and Barnes or Artie Nehf for the Giants.
