BILLY EVANS SAYS

TANK'S CHANCES The Ynkees appear to be bent on distancing the rest of the field In the American League Derby. Some idea of the chances of the New York Americans to win the 1926 pennant can be gleaned from the following figures: First, it must be understood that any team able to win ninety or more games in either major league is considered to'have an excellent chance to go over. To dope out the situation we will take the first thirty-nine games played by the club as & basis for our deductions. • • • pennant dope Os that number the Yankees T.apared to win thirty while losing only nine. Since the schedule calls for 154 games, 115 games at this partlc ular time remain to be played. If, during the rest of the season, the Yanks could win only sixty games while losing fifty-five, the club would have a record of ninety victories at the finish. Thus it is apparent the Yanks need only to play a trifle better than .500 ball to win ninety games, always believed enough to give a club a j chance to cop. In other words, the Yankees are sitting quite pretty. • • • STOPPING RUTH "Kid’’ Gleason, veteran star of other days, now assisting Connie Mac-k in handling the Philadelphia Athletics, ias his own definite ideas J about battling the New ’York Americans. In the eyes of Gleason, Ruth Gehrig are the two big threats of the club, although he Is willing to admit that every man in the line-up Is dangerous. To have a chance with the Yankees when they are In a hitting mood you must play to Ruth and Gehrig, thinks Gleason. They are the two batters who must be silenced for an opposing club to be uniformly successful. • • • GLEASON’S VIEWS “By playing to Ruth and Gehrig, I mean taking no chances,” explains j Gleason. “In other words, with run- j ners on and Ruth or Gehrig up, I j would always favor passing either one If there was an open base. ”1 would go even further and say I would favor passing them, even though it meant that you would be compelled to place the winning run j on first base. “It has been my experience that you can’t pitch to dangerous batters in a pinch and get away with It to any considerable extent. “Such batters are always a menace. and a base on balls is often tnte best solution.” * S • VERY SUPERSTITIOUS No athletes are more superstitious than major league ball players. This holds equally good for the managers. Several weeks ago, just as the Yanks started their long winning streik, Joe Dugan suffered a badly split flr.ger. At the time. Dugan was

leading the American League at the bat and playing a brilliant game in the field. It seemed as if the Yanks were certain to be seriously handicapped by Dugan’s absence from the lineup. The Injury gave Mike Gazella, who, among other things, learned football and baseball at Lafayette, his chance. Mike stepped right into the breach and deli. ered. The Yanks kept on winning.
