I nodded underatandlngly. but MacPhail went right on "It's Dickey and Ruling The big catcher and the big pitcher The one ain't hitting and the other ain't pitching They've been the ba< kboue of the Yanka for a long time I'p until this year Ruffing has been the guy who could walk out there and win tbe big game The Yank* always knew he could slop a winning streak That's not so now. Dickey always paced the hlttera. I'ntil this season Bill was the most feared man In th* league Now be * looking at strikes he used to knock out of tbe park And there's something else The Yank* havd won so damn much they've forgotten bow to lose The average team wouldn't get panicky If it lost three or tour la a row. be. anse Its used to It. But losing I* something new to tbe Yaaka and they don't know bow to face It." From the Yankees Mac Phail moved Into the subject of night basehall with scarcely time <4f enough to get down a bet on the fourth race.

-They'll kill baseball, he said “If they go and play more than seven or eight night games at home That gives you one night a week during the really hot sum mer time, and that's enough Let a team start playing two or three night games a week and It'll kill day baseball just aa sure aa I'm standing here I don't think that will ever happen in the National league, however. A unanimous vote Is required to Increase or decrease the number of night games and there never will be a unanimous vote for more of the night stuff aa long as I'm around."
