YANKEES SHOW UP WHITE SOX New York Club Looks Like It Were In As American League Champion By Henry L. Farrell, (U. P. s ass Correspondent) Now York, June 11. (l.'P) —Ray ; Shalk. new manager of the Chicago I White Sox. like Dan Howley, equally ! new manager of the S'. Louis Browns, 1 mu.-: be convinced by now that the New York Yankees look like American league pennant winners. When ihe Yankees visited St. Louis] Howley took a look at the champions and remarked sagely, "How are yoty going to beat a club that yon can’: | get out?" Schalk didn’t expose his Inner thoughts when he departed with Ills flock of athletes, bnt he and his men were not as chipper ns when they came into New York only one game behind Ihe lpague leaders. The splurge made by the Yankees may have a very vi.al effect upon the future of the White Sox, a young and impressionable team. Considering that the Yankees have won 14 games from the Philadelphia Athletics and tire Whi e Sox. the two leading contenders, the Yankees look as if they were in. bu; .wo dangers threaten them — over condfienre and overtraining. Miller Huggins said recently he dind’t fear the loss of games to the Athletics and 'the White Sox beclnise the players would be on their toes against .hose teams. % “The weaker clubs 'may give us | greater trouble because the players may not try as hard as they do in harder and more important games," he said. Pittsburgh looks almost as good in he National league, where the other Chicago club, the Cubs, is now furnishing the chief opposition. Tl»e Pirates. playing without Kiki f’uyler and Ray Kremer. have a comfortable lead bu: the Cubs will become a serious menace if Carlson, received from the Philadelphia Phillies, pitches according to expectations.
