The Yankee owners are satisfied with the efforts of our managerial selec- tion. “We give Huggins all credit ofr what he has accomplished in winning two American’ League pennants and we certainly do not blame him be- cause the Yankees have not been able to capture a world’s series. I think Miller Huggins ts entitled to a fairer deal than he is accorded by some critics."" Questioned as to whether there would be a team shake-up and as to whether ‘Babe’ Ruth was due to be brought up on the carpet for his sad showing during the late series with the Giants, Col, Ruppert stated: “That is a matter for Miller Huggins to attend to.

Hus- ton—was that their long-cherished ambition of being able to open the new Yankee Stadium next spring with a world’s pennant flying had been smashed, But, as Col. Ruppert said, the bet- ter team won. There is no doubt about that. This series hasn't even left room for an alibi. The Giants were, and are, a much superior ball club to the Yanks, Not only did they bat bette?, field better, run bases better and think quicker, but their playing proved conclusively that the one-man system is much more effective than a scattered fleld of stars, During the games, all of which went to the Giants—excepting the ten-in- ning tle—McGraw directed every play, practically dictated to every pitcher the ball that he should pitch to certain batters. It all worked like a machine with McGraw the mi The Yanks in an dividual stunts splattered all over the srounds. Apparently there was no cohesion, no co-ordination, no dis- efpline.

Young, a left hander, who had hit around .350 up to that time, was dangerous. Kelly had hit around 200. Huggins's judgment was cor- rect. But it didn't work. And, when Kelly smacked the ball for a clean sin- gle that broke up the game, Bush threw down his glove in disgust and glared at his manager. He might just well have said to the grandstand: “That fellow is crazy. See what has happened.” And he got away with it. Had that happened to McGraw Bush would not have heen pitching for the Giants next year. If a man does not ‘submit to McGraw’'s discip- line he does not stay on the club. Since the big leagues began playing the World’s Series under the Na- tional Agreement !n 1905 no club has ever been shown up so badly as the Yanks, and this goes for the Braves- Athletics series, The brilliant team work of the Giants, the fast thinking of the individual players, brought to Nght many weaknes: of the Yanks club that veteran ballplayers had dis- cussed for a year—in quiet corners.

When It comes to detatis— finer pointe—the Yanks are lost. This was series of details, During the series the Yanks m an average of a little more than #i& hits per game, the statisticians tell us, and an average of 2 1-5 runs a game. They can’t win on that and never could. So there is no room for discussing pitchers. The Yank hurt- ers held the Giants down all right. They simply couldn’t’make their own quota of runs, They had to pay too much attention (o detalls—the quick thinking stuff—and they didn’t know, how. The Yanks, as a matter of face were subnormal in this series. The Yanks had counted right along on Babe Ruth breaking up a bail 4a occasionally by one of his long pokes. Consequently the Giant pitchers centered their efforts on ways to break up Ruth. McGraw 4i- rected every pitch. The fact that Ruth batted .118 for the series and not once was purposely walked is evi- dence of the c@mpleteness of his bust. The Bambino’s efforts were pitiful. Frankie Frisch played marvellous ball for the Giants. He is, perbepa, the best second baseman we éver had. Oldtimers will shake thelr heads now, but In time they will realize it. Bancroft proved himself superior to Everett Scott,as a quick thinker sin the series, but he was no better fielder. ‘ Dugan and Groh both played i Uantly at third, Groh proving him the better hitter. Ward, at second, was a distinct ais- appointment. He seemed to have fallen in a slump. Repeatedly he let the ball play him instead of playing the ball. There is an excuse for Ward, however, and his work should not be regarded too harshly, He is not a second baseman by nature or training. Ward \s essentially # third baseman, He plays second just way. On third he was a wonder. At first base, Wallie Pipp was ei perior to George Kelly. He not only fielded better, but he hit much better and was in the centre of nearly every rally started by the Yanks. Schang showed superiority the Giant catchers.
