Shake-up Expected In Yankee Basehall Chib By Henry 1., Farrell, (U. P. Staff Correspondent • New York, May 12.--Rumors, clrculated for some time, that a big shake up on the New York Yankee bail club is impendtig were strength-; cried today when it was learned that Ed Barrow, business manager of the eluli ami the former Held manager of the Boston Red Sox was on the way t<> Uuicigo to join the team. There Is nothing to indicate, however, that the Job of Miller Huggins, manager of the team that has run up a winning streak of two games this

season, is In peril. To the contrary an official of the 1 club said today. “Huggins can have that Job as long as he wants it." Batrow. when he was handing the. Red Sox, was known as an iron leader and a disciplinarian of the .McGraw school but he is not expected to use any heavy hand with the club. It is thought that the club has some deal in the making in the wind and that he has taken the checkbook of Colonel Jake Ruppert to use the influence of cash. He}*>rts from th > training camp j that the Yankees were not behaving I were denied emphatically by the of- l li. ,al- of the club and by many visit- i ors who dropped in on them while they were getting ready for the pennant race. The most interesting question in baseball today is ‘ what has happened to the Yankees?” Many competent critics have expressed the opinion that the'team is too old and that it lacks the college boy spirit of the Philadelphia Athletics and the Washington Senators. The Senators are almost as old as the Yankees but they have twice the drive and enthusiasm of the former champions. The benching of Deacon Scott, veteran storstop. who had played in i 1.307 consecutive games, was one in- '

dication that the management deemed it necessary to get some new blood in the club, but the rookie Wanning er needs experience and the club has not done much better with him in the game. The pitchers complained about the inefficiency of the defense and the players are moaning about the poor pitching. “When Babe gets back." is a dangerous hope for the club as it is probable that he will not he back in the game for another month and it is doubtful that he could pull the team out of its slump if he could get back into a uniform today. o 4- •J-5- + + + + + + + + + •> + '*■ YESTERDAY’S HOME RUNS + ++++++++ + + + + + + + Williams, Browns, i — s.
