HAS PENNANT-WINNING TEAM

Manager Miller Huggins of New York Yankees, Believes He Will Win Championship. Miller James Huggins, the new leader of the New York Americans, is

thirty-eight years old, and one of the smallest men in baseball, standing 5 feet 4 inches. Huggins played In St. Paul, 1900 to 1903; Cincinnati, 1904 to 1909, and St. Louis Nationals, 1910 to 1917, inclusive. Huggins was appointed manager of the Yankees last winter, succeeding “Wild Bill” Donovan,

who has replaced Jimmy Burke as coach fbr the Detroit Tigers. With Derrill Pratt at second base, Huggins believes he has a pennant-winning team In New York. St. Louis fans are particularly interested in Huggins. He finished third twice with the St. Louis Cardinals, staging a wonderful pennant drive with the local club in 1914.
