July 19 (U.PJ-Base-, ball s two most famous sophomores, | Hob Feller and Joe DI .Maggio, j stood W feet apart and eyed each] other. Bob let the ball go with | a sweep of his powerful right arm. , Joe swung with all the power m| his broad shoulders. The game, was over. > The bull nailed into the left field bleachers of Cleveland’s municipal stadium where 58.884 fans had sat tensely, and Joe trotted around the bases behind three mates who had been on the sacks to give the New York Yankees a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians. It was Feller’s fourth loss tn as many starts. It was the 24th homer for Di Maggio. I Feller walked eight men. hit one. and made one wild pitch. — Di Maggio already had connect- § for a double and a triple, driv iog in one run. Feller was the first pitcher to go the route against the Yankees in their last 16 games. He gave up seven hits and fanned seven.. It was the 18th straight game in which Di Maggio had hit safely. Ruffing scored his 12th victory. The runner-up Chicago White Sox picked up a half game on the Yankees when they took a double header from Boston. A 10th inning single by Radcliff drove in the winning tally in the 6-5 opener When Oaffke fumbled Walker’s single. Kreevich came home with the only run in the 1-0 nightcap. Detroit got only two hits off Monty Weaver, but two walks, a single by Walker and a pair of errors In the first inning gave them all of their runs in a 3-1 decision over the Washington Senators. The St. Louis Browns walloped the Philadelphia Athletics, 10-6, then succumbed 7-6. The Chicago Cubs maintained their .QO3 point advantage over the New York Giants in the National league race.

Mel Ladd suffered a severe injury to his ankle in the opening et the second inning, la an attempt to pull one off the fence behind the backstop, he turned the ankle. He was carried off the field and doubt was expressed that he would sec action again for several weeks. International Harvester Co. of Fort Wayne called Manager Mies yesterday morning and asked that he bring bis club to Fort Wayne to meet the .Harvester in an afternoon 1 game. Decatur has been turning in * some fast ball games and the merit 1 of their playing is being recogniz- 1 ed by teams of high standing.

Jake Ruppert is a very smart man. and has done all right by himself in that little matter of accumulat-! ing what sdme like to call worldly goods. So I don’t suppose I have much right to advise him along business lines, being as my worldly goods consist chiefly of a pogo 1 stick which 1 employ in keeping that very vital one jump ahead of the sheriff. But I am going to advise him, nevertheless, and if he follows my advice he can save himself the tidy sum of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars a year. Colonel Jake is strictly silly when he pays Joseph McCarthy 935.000 a year to manage the New York Yankees For the simple reason that the New York Yankees, as they now stand, don’t need a manager. They are so much better than anything else in the American league that : McCarthy could go off in the j Maine woods hunting antelope or j i anything else that is in season, ‘ and stay there until the snow falls I

without endangering the chances of the team. You know as well ns I do that the Yankees, even if McCarthy were a thousand miles away, would go right on winning games by telephone number scores. The ( current Yankees are the same sort j of team that the Yankees of the late 1920’s were. They have everything it takes to win in abundance, j the pitching is good, the fielding Is j fine and the batting — well, look ( ! back the Y’ankee games of this 1 year and count the innings where they got runs in hunches like grapes. Six runs, seven runs, five < runs, eight runs. The old Yan-, kees, with Ruth and Gehrig knock ; ing the ball all over the place, and with Hoyt and Pennock and the boys pitching three and four hit games, needed no manager. All Miller Huggins had to do was sit on the bench and see that the boys went to bat in the proper order. Or.e of the chief problems of a manager, as I get it, is to handle , the pitching. Well, the Yankees , never have needed much pitching. , The present Ruppert team could ; use a left handed embalmer with L a roundhouse curve out on the ’ mound and still win the American j flag by six games. When a team is averaging anywhere from seven I to 15 runs a game it doesn’t need .; a Hubbell out there dohig the I flinging Next year Colonel Jake should I hire himself a W P.A worker for f < about fifty a week and give him 1 the job of managing. The rules i: require a manager, but there is ] no use paying a small fortune to 11 get one. All McCarthy has to do 11 is sit in the dugout and keep an | account of the bloody details as' < the Yanks slam the opposition ■ over the head with doubles, ’rip : les and homers. He doesn’t have any fractious players to handle.' The Yankees are all nice boys and I need no “father” to keep them m I line. I hereby state my willingness to manage the club, for a 10th of what McCarthy gets. 1 promise not to go near the stadium. and to confine my activities to ordering new supplies of bats 1 for the boys to break hitting extra base hits.
