3 THE BEE : OMAHA, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1921 f Yankees Polish Up Bats to Slug Way to Pennant New York Americans Have Good Chance of Winning ' 1921 League Race Says Scribe. By JAMES CRUSINBERRY. Copyright. By Th hlmo Tribune. Shreveport. La. March 16. (Spe- ctaL) Led by the world famous Babe Ruth, the New York, Yankees are all set to slug their way to the 1921 pennant in the American league. One lias to admit there is a splendid chance, too, of their accomplishing that ieit, for it is a Wonderful aggre gation of swatters gathered under the leadership of Wee Miller Hug fins and along with it he has a pitch ing staff that has class. There appears to he no other idea in the mind f any of the host of ball players in Mr. Jlnggins' camp than that this is the year for the Yankees to win. It's a great thing to have such confidence and spirit among players. New York was close to the pennant a year ago. With a hit more s-pced on the bases, the trick might Stave been turned. Speed Added to Team. Now it is the belief of the little boss, that some speed has been added in the presence of Hobby Koth and the likelihood that young Chick Wat it may come through and fill a regular position. This, with the additional slugging power as well as defensive strength added by the re turn to the game of "Home Run" llakcr, makes the Yankees look like a team that is sure to he in the fight. Then. too. Wallie Schang has been ! procured to fill a weak spot behind -"it.- i. -i. It is bv far the most impressive and most formidable outfit of base ball talent I have seen this spring. There's a bigness about the Yankee's club that almost dazzles one. Babe Ruth alone is enough to make the whole ttatn impressive, but there are others who are leading lights of the game. Strarnre It may aeein, Hugtrlns protv ehlv has to do moro experimenting this Borim than any other leader In the Uagui', Reganlless of the jirescnce of his prima dnnnas. his leutu at present writing 11 not put together at all because he is it- tiMiiplhiK to work out a new combination that will lvrovldo a stronger defense with out sacrificing any of the attacking power of the inachir.F. . Making .Many Shifts. For instance, he has Ualie Ruth playing canter field, right field and left field, be- (Ides first baa". Ho tins shifted young Ward, who performed at third a year ngo, over to second nnd buck again. He has tried young I'ewater at second as well as the outfield. H has filled his outfields with young sters on some creations an.l then shifted back to ring Bodlo, Ruth and Koth. He has had Walter Pipp playing In the out field as well sa at first base and doesn't know at this writing how he will set up his machine for the opening game of the season. A combination that seems to suit him best at thla time is to place Hob Meusel at first bace, Ward nt second, Peckln- Working Off Weight at Hot Springs r - fx r- w I ?

It would not ho nt till i surprising xhnuld that lineup take the Held lor the (penlng game. Speed on the liases. In this way, he would have speedy base runners In Fewster nnd Roth to pre cede Babe In the batting order and Habo would be followed by such clean-up sluirgera as ttaker and Meusel with capable hitters following in Ward, rcckinpaugh i and Schang. There Is considerable doubt about Few ter's batting strength. So far he hasn't een Impressive with the stick and somo , experts say he shows signs of fear of the f high fast ball slnceh Is accident last spring when he was hit In the head and put off of the game for nearly the entire season.

Should his hitting be too far below par. he is likeiv to be only a utility man with the veteran Ping Hod is still holding his place In the (am crashing the ball to the fences. Concern Over Slnvb Staff. The pitching staff while strong and sturdy, Is giving the manager some con f" because there Isn't a good seasoned i left hander on it except Harry Harper 1 who w-as obtained from Boston. ,.S!,a,Tkey Ho't' 1's "d gulnn are likely to take turns with Harper working as often as possible against teams that are weak when facing southpaws. Harper never has been a real steady and con alstent southpaw. Hugglna needs a real southpaw and needs him badly, and unless one can be Obtained in some manner, it may prove costly. Pat Collin?, regular last year, Is ft houldout at present. There are some fine looking recruits for the, slab but not one of the good look ing ones la lefthanded. mil Piercy. big righthander from the Pacific coast, looks like he might crowd some regular out of a place on the staff Two Kerrult Should Stick. Alex Ferguson of the International league and Tom Sheehau of the Southern association are two others who shoulr tick. Jesa Doyle came from Greenfield, Tenn., with a fine record. Mika McNally, last year with Boston, 1s out for utility lnfi.eld work and might even take a regular place should any of the veterans falter. A youngster, Johnny Mitchell, last year on the the coast Is almost sure to stick. Ile a a hummer at hott. and Camp Skinner from Georgia is an impressive kid. , A. H. Wingo, brother of Ivy of the Reds, is a young outfielder who will stay up. He poles "em lefthanded and pules 'em hard and runs In a big league stride. Fred Hoffman will be a second string catcher and pnrhapa work in half as many games aa Schang. Other Live Kids on Team. Devormer, Oault, Gressick and Thole are ltv kids from which to pick a catcher for tha bull pen. There are a lot more lads in the camp who aren't ready to trail along with Ruth this season. Hugglna Is working his men twice a day and working them . hard. No one does mora than Bambino Babe, who has perspired off 10 pounds and -could work oft another 10 to good advantage. Central Athletic Club Angling for Games Hie Central Athletic club will put an independent base ball club in the field this year. The club is anglintr for games with local class B and C teams. Last year the Central Athle tics lost but one game of the 16 played. Two star hurlers of last season's team have already returned to the ranks, Raymond Black and Abner Marcotte, the latter of whom won all of his eight games last sea- son.

MICKECS 15th and Harney ADTICBTISEMEXT ADVERTISEMENT PITTSBURG MAN MAKE WONDERFUL STAT Declares Tanlac Enabled Him to Eat Better, Sleep Better and Work Bet ter. Has Gained Thirty Pounds. "I consider Tanlac the grandest medicine in the world, for I have actually gained oO pounds in weight since I began taking it. It has just simply rilled me with new life and energy and for the first time in years I can sit down to the table and en joy three square meals a day like other people. In fact, Tanlac has made me eat better, feel better, sleep better and work better, and I guess that's all a man can expect of a medicine. "Before I took Tanlac I was off 25 pounds in weight and was so badly run down I was hardly able to do my work. Nothing seemed to agree with me and my food invariably soured on my stomach. I would alwavs have an uncomfortable bloat- ed-up feelinp; in my stomach, and al- tnougn 1 inea many Kinas oi meui cines. I never got relief until I took Tanlac. "I also suffered considerably at times from Rheumatism, but this has all disappeared. In fact, this won derful medicine has made a new man out of me in every way. I feel years younger and can do as much work as in any day of my life. "Of course, I am only too glad to give you my testimonial, because I want other people who are suffering as I did to take this medicine and get relief."
