HERE THEY ARE! CAN YOU BEAT EN-?
This Pair to Draw to,
New York Should Hold
Pat Hand to a Finish.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

For ten years OF battle John J. Nc
Graw has defended the pennant walls OF
New York almost alone and unaided.
In those ten years he has won four
remnants and has always been out in
the forefront Of the tight.
The guard along the walls has been
doubled. for TO the rescue OF balldom's
other wing in this city Frank ]. Farrell
brings Frank Leroy Chance, McGraws
greatest rival-the one man in the game
who has rivaled' McGraw with success
for these last seven years.
So. for the first time In history, the
American League In New York has a
worthy competitor for the older leagues
winning general, and between the both
OF them" IL we don't wipe the platter
clean" before many years are out. 1t will
only be because the break OF the game
was the other way.
Chance the Man.
Frank Chance Is the one man In the
game for the Yankees. They have needed
his type-a leader who can lead ana
drive and guide.
IL Is too much to expect from him any
pennant fight IN the first year Of his
reign. That can come later on. The
point now is to start back In the proper
direction-to get going up hill again: to
scramble from the rut and hit the old
highroad once more, and let the Red
Sox. Athletics, Senators. and such know
that New York Is back on the American
League map, ready for all Corners, and.

The Yanks made their last upward dash

them into second place
In 1911 they slumped to sixth place, and
In 1872 they hit the cellar with a thump
