Waite Hoyt Named Baby Twirler for Yankees
New York reports Waite Hoyt, 18, of the Yankees, as the youngest known quality pitcher in the majors. At 22 last September he is already hailed as a top right hander, similar to Christy Mathewson. His World Series pitching against the Giants kept fans in suspense and helped the American League champions. Hoyt, a former Brooklyn schoolboy, is growing and may reach 190 pounds as he starts his season. If he does not win at least twenty five games this year his followers will be disappointed.
