Yanks “Kayo" Dope.
If thc Yankees win the American
League pennant. and they certainly
appear to be on the way. it will be
a “kayo" for expert opinion.
In the spring the New York
Americans were given little consid-
eration in the prc'aeason pennant
talk.
The Yankees have Just weathered
a tough slump. They came out of It
by putting over a big winning
streak. Ability to win games in
large clusters has been one of the
outstanding reasons for the team's
success.
Subs Fill Breach.
When Bob Mousel was put out of
it far two months with a broken
foot. Babe Ruth handicapped by a
"Charley-horse" and Pitcher Hoyt
and Catchers Collins and Bengough
suffering with bad arms. it looked
as if the toboggan might be greased
for the Yankees.
However. the club had enough re-
serve strength to tide it over the
rough days and proceeded to prove
its courage by a great comback.
One reason why "expert opinion
“appears to be in for a jolt because
of the line showing of the Yankees.
Nashville-Mobile off day.
A very important point in the back
stroke is the coast. The movement
of the legs and arms should be sim-
ultaneous so that the maximum of
headway can be attained.
Then at the end of the~stroke one
keeps the body straight and lets the
impetus gained drive one through
the water until it is expended. . .
It will take some practice to get
the most out of the coast. but it is
very neoeury that one get into the
habit of making his strokes and
kicks vigorously and at the same
time. and then straighten out and
let tile body slip through the water
until the impetus is gone.
For there will come the resting
Mrioda.

is lack of speed.
“Shecly is the greatest first base-

ed Umpire Bill Dinneen to me the
other day. ‘
When you consider that Dinneen

Rookie Looks Good.
If his first two starts -.aro a. crite-
rion of his ability. the Washington
club appears to have picked up a
jewel in Pitcher Crowder. recently
secured from Birmingham of the
Southern Association.
Detroit beat Crowder 8- 2 in his
debut. launching all fish-ans In the
first inning on four hits. After that'
the Tygers couldn't do a thing with
the “rookie" right hander.
I called balls and strikes in Crow-
dcr's second appearance and it has
been some years since I have been
more favorably impressed by a re-
cruit's stun.
I am ready to’ so on record that
he will make good.

Plenty of Stuff.
,Crowder didn't receive credit for
his second start against Chicago
since it went into extra innings and
was a tie when he made his exit
for a pinch- hitter, yet he showed me
enough to make me feel positive
that Wsahington has dug up a great
possibility.
Crowder gave 10 bases 'on balls.
.which doesn't read like good pitch—
ing. but he was just mining the
plate; Really the 10 bases on balls
offered a chance to Judge his real
worth.
In trouble almost every inning be-
t a
enough stuff in reserve t3 pitch him-
self out of difficulty. , Ability to twirl
with runners on is a true test of a‘
twirler' s greatness Crowder appears
to posse- it.
