Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK June 21.—The serif > between the league irad3ic Athletic;-* and the second place Yankee.' beginning today at the Stadium ought to clear up a number of vital point,. Not the least interesting of which is whether Mr. Cornelius McGillicuddy'r. young gents <an trike it. st n a I or the past several seasons Mr. McOillieuddy's voting gents have looked like champions m the gymnasium, hut just as soon as you took there away from the big bags and sent them against real opposition they would fold up like a Knute Hansen, only quicker. a a st THIS CONDITION REPRESENTS ONE OF THE STRANGEST PSYCHOLOGICAL QUIRKS KNOWN TO BASEBALL AND MR. M GILLICUDDY. AWARE OF ITS EXISTENCE ONCE EXPLAINED ITS PRESENCE ON IHE GROUND THAT HIS GENTS HAD SPENT SO MANY YEARS IN ’THE CELLAR "I HAT ANY SUGGESTION THEY MIGHT RISE TO CHAMPIONSHIP LEVELS PROMPTLY PROVOKED EXTREME t RIGHT AND NERVOUSNESS. ACCOMPANIED BY A GENERAL COLLAPSE a a a a STARTLING demonstration of the vicious effects of the malady as it gripped the team a year ago was made when the Yankee reeling and groggy, won three out, 7ti four in a scries with the champion .hip at stake last September.
The i hampions were tossing away games with a prodigality that must have been offensive to the < oolidges. They became nudge-overs for practically every team in the league. But they didn’t worry. They said they would brat the Athletics in the September series that remained to be plaved and that those victories would decide the rare. They did.
INDEED SEVERAL OF THE MORE DISTINGUISHED YANKEES VIEWED THAI PARTICULAR SERIES WITH SUCH <;(;ORN AND lOMAI iIOIYS LEVITY 'I HEY DID NOT EVEN BOTHER ABOUT GOING TO RED THE NIGHT BEFORE IT STAR lED PERHAPS IT WAS JUST AS WEIL ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN STEPPED OUT AND MADE TWO HOME RUNS "I HE NEXT AFTERNOON, AND ANOTHER OF I HEM GOT A HOME RUN TOR HIMSELF AT A CRITICAL MOMENT. tt a a BUT this us another year, as you will learn by your calendar. And the situation is a bit different. So are the ball clubs. In no one department do the Yankee.? appeat strong enough to claim superior strength. All down the line the Athletics seem to have the edge. Their present position at the head of the parade has been legitimately achieved. tt r. tt Even Ihr vaunted occ ult powers hv which the Yankees have been able in the past to make the Athletics say Aunt. Uncle and Sister Alary can not be said to he definitely present. Os these strange mystic forces and their effects it will be possible to write with greater certainty after the current -erics of five games is ended.

American League Rivals Open Five-Game Clash in Gotham. FANS CROWD STADIUM Tension in East as Teams Battle. /;■ 1 inl l tt /V, ,v NEW YORK June 21.—The ten- : ion and thrills which precede a world series gripped the baseball fans of New York and several thousand from Philadelphia today as the Yankees and Athletics went into the five-game engagement which may decide the American League pennant race of 1929. Not since the "crippled" Yank' arose and beat back the confident Cardinals of St. I ouis in the postseason battle of last October have baseball games meant as much to the fans of this city—to those of the entire country, for that matter — as today s double-header got under v. ay. Two Twin Bills _ With five games to play in three days, the leading and only real contenders for the American League flag, went into the struggle with professions of confidence. The rivals will clash in another doubleheader Saturday and in a single game Sunday. Both clubs enjoyed a rest on Thursday; both were early on the battleground, where all attendance records for games in the first half of the season were threatened by the rush of fans for tickets. Connie Mack having gathered together his first real pennant threat since the pre-war days, broke his traditional silence to confess that he believed the Athletics would settle the pennant race here and now. Opinion of Pilots “I do not think the Yankees can stop us in this series, nor hereafter.” said the aged pilot, and for Connie that is a lot of talking. On the other hand. Miller Huggins almost equally reserved of speech, expressed confidence in the world's champions to stop the Mackmen just as they did last September. The Athletics, in first place, were seven and one-half games ahead of the second place Yankees previous to hostilities today.

• The timer has a tuning fork which vibrates 100 times per second, 1 perforating a tape with each vibration. At the start an individual string is placed in front of each runner. When the runner starts the string breaks and starts the timer. The timer stops when the individual finish string is broken. As the finish string breaks, the runner’s time is marked on the perforated tape. In this manner it is possible to get a runner’s exact time to the onehundredth of a second, also the exact time of each man in the race for the machine marks the time of , each individual.
