PLAYING the FIELD

Cy jl HAT a lot of piffle, this talk IW about the New York Yankees L__J trading some of their best players in order to equalize the playing strength of the American League. For 20 years the New York Americans annually waged a loSing bat-

tie for honors in the American League, a goodly portion of the time finishing in the second division.^ During those years the New York Giants were meeting with unusual success and the National League enjoyed a commanding prestige with the followers of baseball

in Gotham. It was a well-known fact that strong representation in New York by the American League would be a fine thing for the organization as a whole, particularly in a financial way. In the biggest city in its circuit, the American League had only an ordinary team that didn't draw any record-breaking crowds as did the Giants. At various times it was hinted, always erroneously, that other clubs in the American League would turn over some of their reserve strength in an effort to bolster the New York Americans. YA&KS NOT TO BLAME r-=-a ITH a very few exceptions, \X/ any of the players ever vv turned over to the Yankees by other clubs was material that just couldn’t be used. Twenty years of waiting and plugging was a long time; but in 1921 the efforts of the Yankee officials were rewarded with a pennant. Four of them have followed since. True, the New York club does to a certain extent outclass the rest of the field in the American League, but the Yank' management can’t be blamed for that. The responsibility rests with the other seven clubs including magnates, managers and players. •< New York has built up a machine that should travel in high speed for several years more. When the club slipped In 1925 Manager Huggins saw the handwriting and added new material that came.-through. - \ Such players as Combs, Gehrig, Lazzeri. Koenig, Moore, Pipgras and others have been developed by a good scouting system and proper coaching. Try to get any of them from the genial Colonel Ruppert and the wise Miller Huggins! HAVE POWERFUL CLUB/ mT is a baseball proverb that In order to win pennants you must-- knock off the closest contenders. The Yankees, in the runaway race made in the American League, have been able to do that very thing in a most convincing manner. So-called crucial series have been soft for Huggins & Cos. During the final stages of the race Washington got into a nosition where the players believed they offered a threat. When the two clubs met, New York won three out of four of the games and started Washington on a slump that didn’t end until that club had lost twelve straight. A little later, Detroit, with thirteen straight victories to its credit, met New York in a three-game series* New York won all three games and started the Tigers on the road to ruin, Detroit suffering eight straight defeats before winning a ball game. The Yankees certainly seem to have “it,” which in baseball means “power,” batting strength and that makes for runs.

By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—0f the last eight survivors in the National Tennis singles championship who were to play in the quarter-final round at Forest Hills today, four were Americans, and possibly five because the Jaques Brugnon-Arnold Jones match was called at two sets all on account of darkness and still remained to be decided. Things began to look brighter for the Lome talent Wednesday when the French ace, Henri Cochet, was brought down by the brilliant attack of Johnhy Hennessey of Indianapolis. From the first point of Wednesday’s fifth set, Hennessey called upon all his reserve strength ar.a ran away with the set with the loss of but one game. The Hoosier stole Cochet’s thunder by launching the offensive. Cochet never had been so completely overwhelmed in a closing set before. The young American’s all-court attack puzzled the French visitor. The gallery, excited with the length of the play, went wild when the American won. f Hennessey today was to play Frank Hunter. Bill Tilden was to meet Jean Borotra. Tilden disposed of Borotra easily in their last two meetings. “Little Bill” Johnston advanced merrily by way of straight set victories.

NEW YORK, Sept." 15.—George Godfrey, Negro heavyweight, pounded Monte Munn, the young Nebifeska Legislator Wednesday night and scored a technical knockout in the fourth round when the referee stepped in and stopped the slaughter. Fight fans, looking a year ahead, were convinced Godfrey has improved to the point he no longer can be matched against “Palukas” a,iid are beginning to wonder whether Tex Rickard and other promoters who have designs on the 1928 title fight will attempt to •* draw the color line that prevented Wills from getting a chance at the crown. Munn was staggering around the ring, punch-drunk at the finish. Godfrey had put over a series of rights and lefts to the head which drew a steady flow of blood from, the Nebraskan’s mouth and nose. In the third a crashing right to the jaw sent Munn to the canvas. He arose unsteadily on the count of nine and was groggy at the bell.
