YANKEES DISPLAY CLASS AND FORM; MOST POWERFUL TEAM IN LEAGUE

Farrell Rates Hugmen One of Greatest Clubs of All Time. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Corresoondent NEW YORK, April 20. ‘The Yankees will be so far out in front by July that there won’t be any race,” Broadway is beginning to say. So far this season the Yankees have shown themselves to be not only naturally a good ball club, but by all odds the class of the league and probably one of the greatest team of all time. Connie Mack had a great ball club onoe in the Philadelphia Athletics of SIOO,OOO infield fame. Bill Carrigan had a great team of Boston Red Sox before he quit the game ten years ago. But Mack and Carrigan are willing to admit that if New York lias not the most polished team in their memory, it has at least the most powerful. Athletics Felt Power The Athletics felt the power of the team in the first series of the season, failing to win a game. The Red Sox took socks on the chin uqftil Tuesday, when they succeeded in ending the Yanks’ six-game winning streak. ‘‘l’ve never seen a ball club with so many hitters that a pitcher had to bear down on every ball,” Carrigan said today. “It’s murderous on a pitcher to work on eight men on i lie club, any one of whom is liable to knock the ball out of the lot.” The advantage that a team gets from a Hying start is well recognized by baseball managers. To the Yankees its value cannot be overstressed. There have been cases where great teams got away to a poor start, as the Athletics are doing this year, and recovered enough when they hit their stride to make up the lost ground and win the pennant. There also have been teams which got away fast and held until mid-season approached, when they crumbled. Pure Class—loo Per Cent But in the case of the Yankees, it is no flash of spring form. It is . lass. When a batter is a .300 hitter he is around that mark for good. The Yankees are all .300 hitters and are likely to get better as the season advances. It cannot be overlooked that Babe Ruth is not hitting. Ho is just recovering from a severe cold and is not near "on his game.” Yet the team has speeded along. The reserve strength is so well distributed the team can get along without any player on the club for a tune at least. The club is getting great pitching from Herb Pennock and Hutch Reuther which, particularly in the case of Reuther, is an item of the greatest significance. The advantage of the flying start

while the Western clubs are knocking each other off and while the Athletics and Senators are having trouble is particularly good for the Yankees. It is also conductive to spirit and confidence.

FRIDAY BOUT Kepner’s Opponent Recently Won Over Billiards. Young Jack Dilllon of Louisvile, who is carded to meet Larry Kepner of this city in the ten-round semiwindup of Friday night's Armory boxing show, administered a decisive drubbing to the well-known Tommy Billiards of Cincinnati, Monday night at Louisville. The Louisville Times of Tuesday says Dillon “put a number of new knobs on the Cincy boy’s face.” Dillon's three former scraps in Indianapolis all resulted in victories for the Kentuckian. His first local engagement was with Bobby Lee several years ago and he took Bobby into camp with comparative ease. His second bout here was with Frankie Jones, and Jack outsmarted the veteran to win, something that is no mean feat. Summer before last. Dillon met Kepner at Ft.

Ty Cobb Shows He Still Has Speed

Bn United Press Tuesday's hero was Ty Cobb, who showed he is still without peer as a base runner by stealing home in the sixth inning as Crowder, Senators’ pitcher, was winding up. Lamar, on the play before the triple steal of which Cobb's score was a part, had broken a tie by crossing the plate on a sacrifice fly. The final score of the game was Philadelphia, 3; Washington, 1. Cleveland's errors assisted the Detroit Tigers in recording an 8 to 5 victory. Miller, who relieved Karr on the mound, was ineffective against the Tigers, whereas Stoner hurled well against the Indians. Boston celebrated Patriots' Day by observing the Braves take a doubleheader from the New York Giants. In the morning contest the Braves scored six runs in the fourth inning and won, 9 to 5. In the afternoon they broke an eighth-inning tie for a 5 to 4 win. “Cy” Williams got his third homer as the Phillies made it three in a row from the Brooklyn Robins. Scott, hurling for Philadelphia, shut out the Dodgers, allowing but four hits. The score was 4 to 0.
