i'FANNINGM
SAVANNAH, March 17.
There wnn a general belief ns ex
ploded early In tho winter thnt whoever
followed Chnnce as leader of tho Yankees
would have only a bunch of baseball Junk
on his hands.
But after Inspecting tho talent Smiling
Bill has In tow wo take tho liberty of
mailing that rumor as a bum piece of
dope.
Donovan hnsn't tho greatest material In
tho world hi enmp, nnd he Isn't going to
win inn- iiennant this year. But he has
a. better ball club than most pcoplo glvo
him credit for having, and ono ot the
best defensive machines In the game.
The One Ingredient
Where will the esteemed Yanks finish?
Wo haven't any Idea. Probably around
llfth place. But wo'll suggest this If they
get to batting a bit and Wally PIpp, tho
tall llrst baseman, hits up to ex
pected form, they aro liable to mako a
haid drive at tho first position.
That part of It Is just n matter of
batting, for with tho batting nttached
they hao tho defenso to win a pennant.
In addition tn Sweenej, Eonovan baa .a lino
catchtr In Nunamaker nnd a promising joung
ster In PI Sehwcrt, late of Pennsylvania Unl
tcrBlt. ne has ono of the best pitching staffs
In baseball. He has ono of tho hst tlelillng In
iili 13 In thn game, and, with High added, a
good fielding outfield.
He haa the speed with such fast men around
aa Malsel. Cook, Cree, High, PIpp, Mullen nnd
oth'TH And he hns one of tho best all-round
utility men in the gamo In Roy Hartzcll.
Something Else
Defensively the team is n strong one,
with fine pitching nnd tine fielding. Of
fensively It Isn't strong, unless a decided
till ft takes placo In a number of batting
eyes.
But wo are hanking upon something
elso this season to start the Yanks out
of tho rut and that Is a renewal of team

oSW
bo
spirit and of faith In better days ahead.
For nt least four years tho ambition
of the Yanks has been crushed. They
have llgurcd there was no hope nhead
to fight back Into tho open. But this
season, with a clean sweep nt the top,
with a responsible ownership nnd a
leader who Is looking for a chance to glvo
every man a squaro deal, there Is sure
to bo a big change. And If there Isn't
a change we know enough of tho new
owners to know thoy will not bo content
to stand still. Wo know enough of Cap
tain T. L. Huston to know that he will
never bo content with any failure, and
ho has fought on bigger fights than that
of helping to lift a ball club out of tho
grotto.
Club Batting
Donovan has been spending most of
his tlmo developing or trying to develop
a run-making machine. Last season the
Ynnks averaged .229 at bat ns a club.
This soason Donovnn figures that with
PIpp and High ndded oJid certain Im
provements among players who hit below
normal last year, the club average will
xlso to .240 or possibly .24o. If this es
timate Is correct. Smiling Bill will have
a ball club good enough to make a fight
for fourth plnce, tho result depending
upon the breaks of tho game. He be
lloves that Cree, PIpp, High, Nuna
maker and Cook will hit over .270. And
both Malsel and Pecklnpaugh are better
bntBmen than their 1S11 averages showed.
Mnlscl Is as fast as Cobb, and this Is no
figure of speech. He batted under .210
and stole 74 bpses. No other ball player
In all history ecr turned a trick like that.
Ho has been under tho Instruction of
Joe KeJIcy, who was as wise a man nt
bat as nny thnt ever lived. Kelley knew
how to slug, poke and bunt, and when to
do It. And he has given Malsel moro
than ono keen, Inside tip that will help
Fritz wonderfully.
