What's more, the Yankees are hustling this year as they never have before. Meusel, who used to be the laziest ball player in the country, has come out of his trance. He's going after everything hit anywhere near his territory and he’s running out his hits. His indolence has completly disappeared and he’s now one of the most useful members of the Huggins outfit. “And don’t forget that Ruth is a vastly improved ball player too, He's given up his old habit of trying to hit everything out of the park and while he isn’t making as many homers as he used to, he’s making more hits and his batting average is his than ever. And the ol’ batting avers tells the story.” And more of the same. You've read it a dozen times in the past fortnight—in stories by your favorite “expert’—and perhaps you're a bit “expert” yourself by now. Since areye likes the Yanks, the sporting editor, who is keen for va- riety, thinks it would be a good idea to have Harry Hassock, the famous “score by innings” man, tell why the Giants (we're assuming, at this writing, that the Giants will win the National pennant) ought to cop the Harry likes the Giants anyway and he requires no coaxing to wri the prowess of John Me' ‘famous as the Little Napoleon, and his brilliant aggregation of ball tossers.”” He, too, launches his story with a statement to the effect that, of course. can tell in a game like b: there are some things you can usually figure on,” he goes on to say, “and one of “em is teamwork, When it comes to teamwork there isn’t a gang of ball tossers in the country that can compare with the Clan McGraw. The Little Napoleon has schooled his men in the fine art of playing together. Individually the Hugmen may shade the McGrawmen but the representatives of the older cir- cuit more than offset this by teamwork the like of which hasn't been seen since the days of the old Ch Cubs. The McGri > a mac Huggins’ tribe are a bunch of luminaries who try to outshine each other instead of always aving together for the good of the team. It's teamwork that wins ball games.
