Veterans Add Depth to Yanks Old-Timer Pitching Rank
Billy Evans notes about a dozen major league pitchers with 12 years plus in the big leagues. He cites Pennock Bush and Shawkey with the Yankees, all starting with the Athletics around 1912, and details their late career leadership in AL pitching in 1922 and 1928. He mentions Sam Jones as another veteran, part of the Huggins staff, and compares era legends like Cy Young and Matty. The piece ponders whether the present staff will sustain winning form.

Rays Schalk on Catcher Duties and Youth Pitching
Ray Schalk argues catchers must study all facets of the position and guide young pitchers. He notes Shawkey Bush and Pention are limited to catching and throwing, while effective catching hinges on knowledge of batters, timing, and the manager's use of talent. Hoyt’s 1919 example shows Yankees lack veteran staff.
