Yankees Picked to Repeat

Race to Wire

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

. NEW YORK, April 15.—Champions in 1936 and in 1937, the Yankees will be first in the American League again in 1938. They'll be champs all right, but this. time it will be a “National League finish”—not one of those 1915-game things as in 1936 or 13-

The league is moving up to the Yanks but it won't quite catch them

this season unless calamity overtakes the Ruppert Rifles on every front. Detroit has a better ball club than last year, Cleveland is: immeasurably better and the whole league is better balanced and stronger—but they still can’t beat the Yanks. The Yanks won 102 games in 1936. They won the same number lag year. They won't win as many this season but when October comes they'll be crowned a three-time straight pennant winner, one of the rare and great feats of baseball. Every manager who talks about the Yanks says they can be beaten if they have tough: luck. .Good ball clubs overrige tough luck. The Yanks did it last’ year. They'll do it again this year ‘if it happens to come their way. They are better fortified with reserve strength than

better pitching. They still have that mighty triumvirate of Joe DiMaggio (don’t kid yourself; he'll sign and play ball for the Yanks at Col. Ruppert’s rates), Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey. And they have been beating the brains out of the opposition for two seasons,

Tigers Offer Power

: The Tigers offer Charley Gehrfinger, Hank Greenberg and Rudy York in rebuttal against the Yanks’ Murderers’ Row. Last yéar Gehringer won the batting title, Greenberg led the league in runs batted in, and York was the late season home run sensation. But the Yanks won the pennant. . On the pitching mound Cleveland

Lefty Gomez and Charlie The Red Ruffing, with Johnny Allen and Bob Feller. They have power generated by Solters, Trosky and Averill, but beyond that are question marks." What about their infield defense? ~—their long-time failing on: the road?—their inability to win a crucial series in a pinch? Oscar Vitt will build the groundwork for a great ball club in Cleveland this season but he won’t be a “miracle

ner. His job is to: beat off the Tigers for second place, not to wrest the title from the Yanks.

Vitt and Terry To Face Landis

CHARLESTON, W. Va. April 15 (U. P.).—When the barnstorming

New York Giants and the Cleveland Indians arrive in Cleveland tomorrow, Managers Bill Terry and Oscar . Vitt will be called on the carpet by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis to explain why their exhibition game was forfeited to the Giants at Longview, Tex., last week. The dispute involved a ground rule. When Julius Solters of the Indians caught a fly ball hit into the crowd by Joe Moore in the ninth with the score tied 4-4, Umpire Claude Tobin ruled it a double. The fans thought it should have been an “out,” and swarmed onto the field in protest. Vitt took the Indians off the field, and Tobin forfeited the game to the Giants, 9-0. Baseball writers assumed that Vitt will be the one who must do most of the answering to Landis for removing his team from the field. If Vitt had waited a few min-

utes, the game almost surely would | have been called because of the|
