Huggins Says Washington Stacks Up * Like Repeaters —N. Y. Hopes Hinge on Ruth and Shocker. BM United Brett NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Miller Huggins looks upon the Washington Senators as the team his New York Yankees will have to beat to win the 1925 American League pennant. “Washington has a better team than it had last season and the club will have more spirit and confidence as a championship team. We’ll have to play much better this season to beat the Senators,” Huggins said.

The Yankee manager thinks Stan Coveleskie, Dutch Reuther and Vean Gregg are great additions to the Washington pitching staff. They are veterans, of course : but Huggins favors years and experience on a ball club. Mike McNally will provide some badly needed reserve strength, as the team was notoriously weak last season In utility men. New York’s chances In the pennant race depend almost entirely upon Babe Ruth and Urban Shocker. If Ruth is In condition to play and If he continues to slug, hit and field Uke he did last year, he will inspire the whole team. When Ruth started South a few weeks ago he said he was thirty pounds overweight and he admitted that he had done very little work of aany kind during the winter. ■ CoL Jake Ruppert, owner of the "club, said some time ago that the team cinched the pennant when the deal was comploved for the transfer of Shocker from St. Louis to New York. In St. Louis the general opinion is that the Browns got all the better of the deal when they secured Joe Bush In exchange for Shocker. —— —— WINTER GOLF Coast Player Leads in Texas Open Meet.
