Yanks in Bad Way Against Southpaw Hurling

'Foolishness!’ Says Miller M Huggins; Pilot Sees Silver Lining. SENATORS DANGEROUS Plenty of Portsiders on Washington Club. BY FRANK GETTY United Tress Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 24.—A silver lining to the dripping clouds which have drenched major league diamonds in the East for the past few days was observed today by that incurable little optimist. Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees. The diminutive pilot of the world's champions is hopeful that a week-end of rest and pinochle may have restored to his Yanks some “faith in their ability to hit southpaw pitching. Otherwise, Hug admits, the club * seems about to be left-handed right out of the first division, after getting away to a running start which promised at one time to exceed last season's for speed and comfort. Lose Three of Four The Yankees dropped three of their last four games to southpaws. In fact, they were able to score just one run in two successive games off the offerings of "Lefty'’ Grove and "Rube” Walberg, star port-siders of the Philadelphia Athletics, before ? the rain set in. "I hope that when we get going the boys will have all this foolishness about left-handed pitching out of their systems,” said Huggins. “We have a lot of games with the Washington Senators due right away, and I don’t want the boys to get panicky every time they see a pitcher v’ith a glove on his right \hand climb into the box. F "For all we know, he may have nothing but the glove.” May Forget Idea There are at least five southpaws on the Senators’ staff who could be called upon for action against the Yankees if the world’s champions continued to shudder helplessly in “ the face of left hand pitching. Huggins believes that the brief lay-off will have given his men a chance to pull themselves together and forget the nightmare of those last two games with the Athletics. The Yankees were not particularly susceptible to southpaw hurling last year. But then, they weren't susceptible to any land of pitching. Grove and Walberg each beat them j three times, and so did Hal Wiltse of the Boston Red Sox, another portsider. The only other left handers to win more than one game from the world's champions in 1927 were Eayl Whitchill of Detroit, who won two and lost three against New York, and J. Walter Miller of Cleveland, whose records against the Yankees was two won ,one lost.

HUDKINS IN -DUTCH’ i Ace Advised to Declare Self; “G'ommish” May Recognize Baker. Bn United Press NEW YORK.
