structing it. Scouts have been cont-
111issioncd to go into the innermost re—
cesses of the “bushes" to search for
talent with which to build the club for
next season.
It is altogether likely that when the
team takes the field next spring there
will be an entirely new outfield. for the
present is one of the weakest hitting
combinations in the major leagues. it.
is also a cerpiinty that a new second
baseman will be engaged.
Ilihood retain their jobs, but none of
{the other players except A] Walters is
‘a certainty. Donovan has announced
liltat he is willing to trade any of his
lplayers except the aforementioned
‘men.
The wretched work of the pitchers
and weak batting have been the heav-
lest handicaps of the Yanks this sea-
ison. Not one member of the pitchers'
1::t11ff has come up to early season ex-
!pect aliens. And the team baiting has
'been just as bad. The Yanks stun-l
sixth in the standing of the clubs in
hitting. ‘ H :3“,
Unless the Yanks show great im
pr'ot emcnt in their games against the
Tigers they a1c likely to go hurtling
into sixth place before long, for the De-
itroit team is leading the league in
club batting and is playing better ball
Iin all departments than at any other
time this season.
Donovan is still hopeful he will ob-
tain Denill Pratt, second baseman ol‘
