MILLER HUGGINS SETS MARK

Enters Washington Series With Smallest Squad on Record—Twelve Players in Outfit. . It is doubtful if any major league club during the past twenty years entered a series either at home or on the road with such a limited number of players as Miller Huggins did when the Yankees played their last set of games at Washington. He had no extra catcher, nor had he an extra fielder or outfielder. ■ Besides this, there was no such thing as a pinch hitter on the team. Twelve players made up the entire outfit, the three extra men haying been pitchers. One of these waft Sanders, who did not pitch one complete major league game during the past season. The Yankees set a record for losing players, as 17 of the original 24 left without a release being handeded out, and another one who started the season. Hank Robinson, also quit.
