PROSPECTS

ST JACK VEIOCK 'International N. S. Sporting Editor.) KEW YORK, March 16. "Everybody tells me the Yankees and Cleveland will be one-two. I hope they are right. Just like that!" Miller Hugsins. midget manager of the New York Americans, sent thla hopeful comment to the International hV'v.-s Service today from Shreveport, I-i., where Babe Ruth and company are training. "I am highly pleased with the, condition of the Yankees and the way they are shaping op," Muggins continued. "I thlaHilour pitching will bsbotter than It was last season, our batting heavier and the speed of the club as' a while greatly Improved by recruits. I do not' believe we will suffer by having but one left-handed pitcher rn Har-y Harper. It Is my belief that the addition of Walte Hoyt arid ColUrta aj second year men will or-balanc that. "There's one young- player In camp Tho looks exceptionally good. He Is At Wingo. brother of Ivy, the Tteds catcher. ,A Jt looks now, he Is sure to-be carried as extra outfielder. He is a bang-up hitter and I believe he will, grow Into a real star as a batsmen, though his fielding may not m-asure op In proportion to his hitting; as he progresses. "Bob Muesel a'so looks good. Though he Just g"ot to camp he has shown me irore peed and better fielding- ability than at any tlm last season. He has rcw confidence In himself and la much less awkward than last year. I expect to t Wm lnt the infield or the outfield la order to get the benefit of his card hitting every day. "It 1 too early yet to tell about Frank Baker who will not report until next week, However If, Baker. plays third Ward probably will a-o to aectnd 'sr. Fewester wJl be tried in the outfield. have a peppery young catcher in camp n Hoffman. He looks great, tie hlt the hall hard. too. and Is the hardest worker In camp. "Ruth's work Is a source of satisfaction.. He la getting down to weight x httlng well why mention It? I ay experiment with Ruth at first a-ae. If not it will be Mnesel or Pipp. Flpp shatrs enough aptitude as an outfielder be rjay be played in the garden"
