Bucky Harris Thinks Yanks Will Repeat BY LEO H. PETERSEN (United Press Sport* Editor* New York April 7 (VP) Bucky Harris isn't Hk»* mom major lea cue* managers. He doesn't pul) any punches and cornea right out with what' he thinks And he thinks hi* I*4“ Yankees should, and will, win the American league. peimant "Who's going to atop u»*7" he asks Sure, the Red Sox. Indians and other dubs have been strengthened. But no have we. We will open the season 25 percent stronger tins year than we did last " There is tp> question but what the latter statement is correct. At the start last year the Yankee* floundered In the second division " until 'a near player revolt against then president l-arry MacPhaill changed things and got them on the right track. Harris, more than any one else.i was responsible He called a clubhouse meeting at which he told the player* that he was interested only in what they did in the field and that he would fight their front office battles for them That did it Not that Harris doesn't have hid problems. He is wondering whether Joe Itimaawio win hj. able to throw; . whether Charlie Kellet is going to be able to come back: whether big Bill Bevetis of world series pitch ing fame is going to whip his sore arm and whether the aging George McQuinn will hold up another season at first base. But none of those situations has him worried The one thing he know., he must have to repeat the club's 1917 performance is a healthy Dimaggio in Centerfield. Dimaggio will not test his arm. which was operated upon during the offseason for the removal of Isnie chips from the elbow, until the Yanks open against Washington April 19 Tommy Henrich will be at his usual light field spot and if Keller Is unable to make the grade JohnTonight & Thursday o 4 OI K BIG DAYS!
