MILLER HUGGINS STILL OPTIMISTIC New York, A| ril 24 (U.P) A silver lining to the dripping clouds whMi : have drenched major league diamonds iiu the east for the post few days was observed today by that Incurable ! little optimist, Miller Hugglim, manager of the New York Yankees. The diminutive pilot of the world's champions is hopeful that a weekend of rest and pinochle may ho\e rt stored to his Yanks some faith in their ability to hit south-paw pitch ing. Otherwise, Hug admits, tin club seems about to he left-handed out of, the first, division, after getting away to a running start. The Yankees have dropped three i of their last four games to sunlit 1 paws. In fai t, they were able to! score just one run irt two successive I games off the offerings of "Lefty" Grove and Rube" Wnlberg, star port-1 sitlcrs of the Philadelphia Athletics before the rails set in. Babe Ruth, who sets the pace for his team-mate t on the altaek lias ; been hitting about Grove anti i Walberg stood the Babe on his head. Two doves sent om front the Bronx Ark this mor ting returned without any encouraging vegetation, but a j resumption of hostilities at the stadium is exported before tbe end of die week. Washington is next. Tiiete are at least five southpaw, on the Senators' staff who touhl he called up n for action against the i Yankees. Huggins believes that ttie brief! lay-off will have given his men a j chance to pull themselves together anil forget the nightmare of those, last two games with the Athletics. The Yankees were not particularly j susceptible to southpaw hurling last j year. Bat then, they weren’t susceptible to any kind of pitching Cronand Walberg each heat them three i times, and so did Hal Wiltse of the Boston Red Sox, another portsider. The only other left handers to win 1 more titan one game from the world's champions in 1927 were Karl White hill of Detroit, who won two anti lost three against New York, und J. Walter Miller of Cleveland, whose record against the Yankees was 2 won, and 1 lost. o Dan Ilowlcy Shuffles Discards Os Others And Produces Winning Hand • New York, April 24. (INS) —Dan Howley, genial pilot of the St. Louis Browns, is one of those geniuses who tan shuffle the discards of a poker deck anti deal himself a winning layout. No less than six of the nine Kt. Louis players who handed Cleveland a 4 to 2 d imming vestei day were dist arded by other major league clubs. They are McNeeley, O'Rourke, Blue, Manush, Schang and Gray. Supported by Kress and Brannon, the rookie Keystone combination, and Schulte, a second year man, these veterans are keeping the Browns in the race. Gray, who once won something like ten straight games for Connie Mack, already has turned in three victories this season.
