In i - _ „ | Today’s Sport Parade By Hsnry McLsmars New York. Aug. 19—(PF)— 8% week* ago. when the Yankee* ware hotter than a featherbed In the tropics. Clark Griffith made the headlines by saying the New Yorker* were not a super team, were du* lor a )»ad slump, and probably j would have a tough flme winning the American lx>a«ue race For thia opinion be waa ridiculed in prim, pointed out on the *trent and pm on the mailing Ito', of some of the better psychiatrist* Now. with the Yankee* floundering la th« throe* of a bad dump and apparentIv headed for a tough baU’.s to wla t.w pennant, it seemed only fair to give Mr Griffith a chance to gloat, even if only by long distance phone from Washington. But he took the fulfillment of hl* prediction in *trtde. avoiding even to much a* one “l told you *o” during our five minute talk. They're a dead-tired ball club. The Yank*.'* Griffith aalo. 'Tbev were all In agalnat na Tuesday. Had M life, no lift. That waa to he expected. They hit their peak early in the year, played themselvea out 81 bit. Now they've let down. May«e' they didn't mean to. bnt they Usve Just the aame And you know what It ippen* in any sport whm a team or a player ea*e* oft and then tries to get back in stride. 4t takes time. Just can't be done In a second ". ; Did he think the Yank* would c.ime out of the slump? “Can't tell. But I'll tell yon one thing northing must happen to Dickey or Dlmaggit If they're going to. Take either Dickey or Dimaggio from the Yank* and they would be just another baseball team, ent right down to the level of the rest of the league. Great team* are built around great star* Gehrig. Dickey, and Dtmaggio have been the Yankee* for a good while They're ' missing Gehrig new. Missing him : p'.emy. You don't take a hitter like ' Lou was. away from a team and not have him missed.” Griffith then pointed out that when Dimaggio «a* lost to the Yanks early In the season and they • ent on winning, lots of eri'lcs said the team was so strong It didn't need Joe. j 'That was aibaurd. Where would' they he now if ha still was out?' The critic* said Gehrig's loss wouldnot hurt, 'ither. It didn't t t a little j while but they're missing him now over the long pull. No. I've been In baatdiall 52 years, and have seen the bone -of champion* and »o call-| id super-team* scattered from Mclne to Florida. Time cuts them all down, big and little. And time is working on the Yankee* right now. A little slowing up of two or i three Yankee players and the parade will go right on by '«*n.'' Griffith aaid he had not made hl* prediction concerning the present Yankee* without •. thought to the psat. He recalled th* Yankees o.' the early twenties who swept to l pennants In 1921. 1932 sad 1933. cnly to finish a dismal seventh In 1925 He also mentioned tne Yank* cf 1922. who. after tiulld'ug up a tremendous lead In the early part cf the season behind the pitching of the 'Big Rve"—Hoyt. Pennock. Bbwwkey. Jone* and Bush—went into a nose dive and scarcely beat out the Bt. Louie Brown* In a photo flntob. Having forgotten to make the eall a collect one we said "goMbye" and lei Mr. Griffith's case aga.nat the. Yank* rest right there.
