NOW that the New York Yankees have won the American League penunnt in the winter and Bprlnc lenpiea. the only thing left to be done U to cop the bunting in the summer season. However, winning a pennant before April 14 is not io difficult a winning after April 14, as will be proved by future develop ments. ' A few minutes after arriving in this town all I could hear was "You ought to m the Yanks! Greatest team in the world. Swell hitters. Pitchers going good. Babe Ruth is knocking 'em n mile. They'll win that pennant under wraps. No ball club ever has won n championship in n training camp, and the optimism is likely to work on the noble nthletes with reverse English. If they llsicn seriously to the ravings of the natives and become convinced they really arc good, then get ready for the big flop. True, there's n bunch of very good hurlers, some excellent hitters and all-around players, but these stars must get working together to get results. It might be that thej arc kidding themselves at present, but such is not the cac with Miller Huggins. the inltey manager. Hug has a very tough job on his hands. He is in command of a wonderful ball club, one which has been gotten together regardless of expense. He also hns two of the best advertised players in the game on his salary roll, Carl Mays, who almost caused a split in the American League last winter, and Babe Ruth, the world's greatest slugger, who was sold on the hoof for more money than ever was paid for any two players in the history of the game. Much is expected of that pair of stars, for the fanR have rend so much about them that they must deliver at every performance to maintain their social standing. Mays is a great pitcher and Ruth is a great hitter, but there are others in the cast who deserve special mentiou. Walter Pipp is a good first baseman, Dell Pratt and Fewstcr do well at second. Peckinpaugh is a swell shortstop, and every body knows what Frank Rnkcr can do at third. Hug's job has become even more complicated during the last week. In that time, Ping Bodle has clashed with the Yanks' leader, deserted the club and been declared persona non grata for all time by Huggins. But that isn't all tbc tough luck Huggins has struck. Vowster was bcaned in a practice melee by a toss from Jeff Pfcffer's wing and may be out of the game for a long time. He is conscious at the present time, but hasn't regained the power of speech. r Add to this the injury to Walter Pipp. who was hit behind the ear with n thrown ball while Ruel was warming up. and you have n combination of ca'ualty thai Is likely to make much trouble for Huggins and cause the Yankee pennant stock to do a tnilspin. The one bright feature in recent Yankee happenings is the definite announce ment that .7 Franklin Baker will be among those present within the next few days. Bake, having successfully dodged most of the spring training work, is now ready to get in harness, nnd Hug is expecting him any hour. . Bob Shawkey is breezing along neatly. Mays is in shape. Jack Quinn is in fine form, Ernie Shore never looked better, nnd (Jeorge Mogridge nnd Herb Thormah len are rapidly rounding into good left -handed condition. w rllOSE are the veterans and the new arrivals are much better than ,. the average. lint marc of them anon. After Proper Combination sTTOU can t win ball games on hitting alone," says Huggins, '"nor can a club JL be successful if it depends entirely on its pitching staff. What is needed is the proper combination, nnd that is what I am working on. 1 "By combination. I mean n perfectly balanced ball club. Cincinnati had one last year or it never would have won the National League championship or the world scries. Great hitters seldom nrc great runners, and if you can mix hit ting with speed, add some brains and good pitching, you will have a good combina tion. "But it means more than that. The players must possess a fighting spirit which will not admit defeat, their dispositions must be right and there must be " good morale. Oct a good ball club working together with the proper spirit and everybody knows it will be a winning aggregation. That is what I am working on. I want to get together a smart, fighting ball club and then I shnll be satisfied. But I am not predicting a pennant for 1020. That would be foolish, for ou never can tell what will happen in base ball. However, I enn assure ou that the boys will be out there righting every day, and every game will be bitterly contested. "Right now it looks us if h bad a great ball club. But wc must get the Lj proper combination to win frame. " "" " J Huggins seems to have the proper dope, especially when he says more speed (sjneeded on the club. For years the lankees have been handicapped in that department, and hit into more double plays than any other team in the leacue. Itjwas only on exceedingly rare occasions thnt a man could score from second on. a -jungle. In fact, it wasn t Letter than an even money bet that a runner on second could score on a double. Mighty of nrm. but slow of foot they batted their way in and out of ball games with amazing regularity. 1 Ruth is the fastest outfielder playing alongside Lewis. Knowledge of this makes Huggins's job n difficult one. He must sacrifice hitting for speed In some position, and then will come the rub. Viek is a very fast outfielder, but he cannot bit with Lewis. Nor is he a tlnshy player with the following that Lewis has. fileirh. a recruit from Saginaw. Mich., nlso is very fast nnd n good fielder, but will have to be exceptionally good to replace either of the veterans. If n new man is substituted and he foozles in a pinch, there will be a terrible roar from the stands 'ft, MfM ' WHY SJAY BIUL I .SuPPJD Tt VB UP 1 " -2SWX f .cMl r mW Z , '' DIDM'T COM& DOUM. 1 jWoUl BALU- DON'T Tiy ! -N r ".. y"V'W6MM ii course, is owuauAitv t. r 6u Aa) ff',"r 1 1 To ' i ,Wf iorr hitfr rr f I " ixt csee., fA with 11 T .Bill "" mflw' $WfW K ' -koMMitTcc- w ruwwcu ABfluT H'i "" .- 3gvi vSSteifcj' Ui V IS OFTH Aw'o MUSH- " pi j.iHi,.wtU' ' - ..sfej!L&ln.

Little Aaron Ward, at third, is a fast, clever player, and when it comes to speed, hns Frnnk Baker lashed to the mast. But what would happen if'the Maryland mauler is benched in favor of the youngster? Words enn 'not describe it If Fcwster replaces Pratt at second, little will be said, for this move has been expected. However. I do not think Fewstor will hit enough to keep him in the regular line-up. He has n bad stance nr the plate, and cannot pet any power in his drives. No wonder Huggins is worried over his combinations. But you will be surprised when you see Babe Ruth in action. The big hoy la' plnying renter field nnd is about twice as fast as one would suppose. He covers lots of territory, can get fly balls in front, behind or on either side and has .great throwing arm. It is not a mistake in placing him in that positions, for he fills it perfectlv He ied the outfielders in fielding last year, which shows he is no slouch out there. The Babe is happy and contented with his new ball club. He in the hardest worker on the squad and usually Is the last to leave the field. He loves to play baseball, and that makes hun an easy man to handle. He also realizes he is a public figure now. nnd up to him to make good. t "This is a greut team," he -aid. "and I know I will be satisfied bete. I leceived the i-alarv I usked for and believe me. I shall earn every cent of it I will keep in condition all vear and pla? my head off. Just watch me."

Instead of getting all of the men on the field twife n day, he has the new men report in the morning and the veterans in the afternoon.
