o o | Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley" I I (Reg. U. 8. Pat. Off.) 0 — C New York. May II tl’Pi The question asked most often to day regarding lite Ameri an league pennant rate Is what goes?' Taking the- overall look the an swer would seem to be: | "Joseph Paul Dimaggio. Jr.," and the New York Yankees.” Vs liintaz g<M-s. so go the Bronx Bombers. Well, the Yankee Clipper has Iteen in there sint e the opening Irel] and there’s a rising suspicion that although they currently are in a tie for second place, i the Yanks are going to he awfully I tough to shave. II True, the amazing Philadelphia \thletics and the coming Cleveland . Indians are ahead of them in [>erI '•♦ntages. The A s rule the roost and it would i>e mighty nice to see Connie Mack win another one. But they need to convince a lot of people that they really deserve to s ay up In that rarified atmosphere Cleveland s still another story. The tribe, too. could be trouble to tomahawk and was rated a dark-tior-e for the bunting. Vet it has c lot of ques ion murks In a long race <tret<hinx to Oct. 3. And. on the other hand, there are many reasons to start liking the Yankees as a repeater. It was Branc h Ric key, the Brooklyn Dodger president who isn't often wrong, who contended this spring that reserve strength is a big factor on a pennant winner. Rickey asserted tiiat the Dodgers had it in spades. lie hasn't made his point, yet. For when such stars as Pete Reiser. Bru «• Edwards and Pee Wee Reese have been <n the ben h the Dodger* have lost ball games. But the Yanks have been making good Hi key’s theory over ill the Americ an league So far this season the world champions have had as much physii a! difficult as any team in either league Yogi Berra was out at the start: George M< Quinn lost some line: Joe Page was laid up with indigestiion. and right now Tommy Henrich is laid up with a bruised kneecap. Charley Keller has a twisted ankle an i Phil Rizzuto a i W Ist ed leg muscle. What happened? Steve Soti< ho. k took over capablv at first; Gus Niarlios did so well la-hind the bat that Yogi was worried about his job. and the pitchers came through without relief the days when the redoubtable Page was laid up. And now. Bobby Biown has stepped in for Rizzuto: Johnny Lindell, a star on any other ball club, replaced Keller, and Cliff Mapes picks up Henrich’s hoe. if Rickey is right, and lie usually Is, the Yanks have all the reserve strength necessary. o —
