Playing the Field With Billy Evan?

OAST season the New York' Yankees won the American League pennant because of three eauly season winning streaks. Eight straight to start the season, foil lowed by eeven more consecutive wins a little later on, to be topped off by sixteen in u row around midseason. put the Yanks over. Dropping those three winning streaks, totaling thirty-five games

from the picture, arid tiro crew piloted by Miller Huggins failed lo play .300 ball at other times. Apparently the Yankees are tailing a page out of last season's book of success by get. ting away to a good start this year. _.Thoy began in a convincing manner by taking three straight

from Evans the club favored by most experts lo win. x A majority of the experts hadn't figure New York at ell last spring. A good many >tilF insist the Yankees were lucky last year. So the 'players are stepping right out and early upsetting the dope for the benefit of the critics, who have again conceded them only an outside chance to repeat.

The Yankees have greater power than any other club In the American League, not excepting the Detroit Tjgcrs and Philadelphia? Athletic*. who also pack a mean punch. # .

WORRY FOR RIVAL PITCHER O down the batting order of the New York Yankees and you will find there isn't a single breathing spot for the opposing pitcher. Combs and Koenig. fast men, good hitters and hard to pitch to. head the list. If either one gets On. the rival twirier must get busy ' with Babe Ruth. Batting third, the Babe is a threat as well as a weapon. t If the pitcher is fortunate enough to get by Rif\h without any danij age, there follows in quick succession Lou Gehrig, Bob Meusei. Tony Lazzeri, Joe Dugan, then the catcher, either Pat Collins or John Grabowski. and both take a healthy cut at the ball. \ There is always something for the opposition to worry about when the Yankees are in action. Os course, there are, times when the club looks bad when lft a slump, because no tean\ is so feeble when not hitting as a free-swinging aggregation like the t auks. However, there is always danger in the air when the members of the Huggins troupe are in a hitting mood.' .There is just the right amount of both left and righthanded hitting. If for no other reason than the hitting power the club boasts it would be necessary to consider tin; Yanks as a club that must he beaten to win the American League pennant. WILE (JET GOOD PITCHING mN the south, during the spring training season, rival managers in summing up the chances of tlte New York club to again win the American 'League pennant, scouted the strength of the Yankee pitching staff. T am of the opinion that the Yanks will get better pitching than other clubs think possible. The entire staff looked good during the first two series. Iloyt, Pennock, Shocker. Reuthor and Shawkey are five pretty nifty veterans to fall back on. Good pitching is very essential to a pennant winner. In t’bis respect, however, the New York Americans are a trifle different. With the tremendous possessed by the club, it can get along with fair pitching where the average team would need good or even better that thaat. No one will question the strength of Connie Mack’s pitching staff. Yet In the first series of the year, New York drove Grove, Gray, Rommel and Klimke to the showers and treated Pate ajnd Walberg, in the t role of relief pitchers, very roughly. Houston has sold Pete Stegman, rookie pitcher, to the Corpus ‘Chrlstl club of the Texas Valley League.

This Is Where lThey Belong!

It is not reasonable td expect any other store to equal H auger’s values—because no other store is in such a favorable position—as to low rents, low operating costs and great baying power (40 stores in association). Here are the greatest clothing values in Indiana—here is where they belong. That men seem to be finding it out is shown by the record business that is coming here! On the avenue—better clothes, less to pay. See the windows.

RYAN IS ONE OF LEADERS Tommy Proved Worthy Foe for Taylor—Boxes Here Thursday, Tommy Ryan of McKeesport, Pa., who v. ill come to Indianapolis for a ten-round fight with Trip Limbaco, Filipino feather, Thursday- night at the Arnjory, Jias mingled with the best in his class for several years. Almost a year ago, at Louisville, on the eve of Derby day, Ryan and Bud Taylor staged one of the hottest battles in ring history. Taylor was credited with talcing the honors in this bout, but a number of Indianapolis fight followers who witnessed the scrap expressed the opinion Ryan was entitled to an edge, or at least a draw.” Ryan last appeared in this city about a year ago, when lie was matched with Merle Alte in a tenrounder. There was quite a difference of opinion on that occasion as to who was winner, but all the fans agreed it was a whale of a scrap. Limbaco is of the aggressive type, like all the rest of his fellow-coun-trymen of the ring game, so Armory fans can look for lots of flashing fists. The Legion boxing officials are preparing for the banner crowd of the season, and request ringside patrons to purchase their seats in advance to avoid the jam at the box office such as last week.

Brewers and Indians in Wind-up Struggle of . Series. * i MILWAUKEE BLANKED ! I Schupp and Wyatt Shine in Monday Game. By Eddie Asli In the old days, on the main stems leading out of town, “Last Chance” life saving stations £ot a big play. And the Indians of Bruno Betzel were expected to get a-big getaway play from the fatyt this afternoon as they battled tlia Milwaukee Brewers in the series finale. t was the last chahce to see the home pas. timers in action until May 18. 1 following today's conflict, the Tribesmen will hit the A. A. highways for a stretch of five series in enemy territory* playing at Minneapolis, St. Paul. Kansas City. Milwaukee and Louisvillcyln the order named before “coming back to yoo hoo" to meet Columbus. Only Tlrree Hits The Indians plastered the Brewers, 10 to 0. Monday with Ferd iSchupp doing the flinging in big league style. The southpaw flipper allowed only throe hits and struck out six men. The first bingle off Schupp was not registered until the seventh stanza when Brief got a pop fly base knock in short right center. • Strohm, who walked in the fifth session, was the first Brewer to get o.n. And that the only walk issued by Schupp, and he did not hit a man, had no wild pitches and no errors. Good-natured Ferd enjoyed a large afternoon. Joe as “Big Moment'* And there was another hero. “Wabash Joe” Wyatt tigthened his belt, thrust out his Wabash chin and banged out two singles, a double and a triple. He was the "big moment” of the Tribe attack. I'p four times, he’ “scored” with bits four times and crossed the plate himself twice. Yea. Wabash! The Indians got ten hits. For the first time this Reason the Betzelites won two contests “in a row.” Sunday they won, 11 to 3. and Monday. 10 to 0. Cduld one ask for more? Cold facts answer “no." The “die Hard” fans were looking for the “die easy” fans Monday evening to shout over the punch uncorked by the* Indians Sunday and Monday. The Tribe played errorless ball, but not so the Brewers. Four miscues were charged against the visitors. The Tribe had only four assists Schupp either struck 'em out or made ’em loft. Encouraged by two big league! clubs. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, with the tip they would bid for his services for next season if be showed earnest ways this season. Ferd i Schupp evidently is aiming at an-1 other trial in the majors. The Brew-j ers. rated heavy hitters, were baffled j by Ferd Monday.Rob Snyder went hitless Monday, j but he drove in two runs with long; sacrifice fly balls. Tiiree newspaper men are with the Brewers. That town believes in boosting. The Cream City posted high attendance in the A. A. last year. Yes the Indians finished one notcli above the Brewers. \ Elmer Voter blasted -a triple in the seventh to drive in two mates. The only real line smack made off Schupp was <fohnson's single in the eighth. Carl McCleaster, local umpire, officiated in the field Monday in place of George Magerkurth, who was suspended indefinitely by President
