one of the late games of the year
and that Ovcr4stretch virtually
gave the Yanks the victory. The
great st. Louis star severely
wrenched his shoulder and had to
be taken out of the game, Bill
Jacobson, an outfielder, taking his
place:
Aided by that stroke of fate, the
Yankees won.
In the opinion of many who like
to look over the figures and dope
winners, the American League
champions will need another simi-
lar help from Lady Luck to stem
the tide that may rush on them
from several different angles next
season.
That opinion is not supported en-
tirely by real dope, however.
Since the Detroit Tigers and the
Chicago White Sox have been very
materially strengthened during the
off season and since the Yanks
barely escaped with their scalps
last year, it seems that the chances
of the Yanks in the coming race
depend largely upon what imprOve-
mcnt Miller Eluggins has WORKED
in his club since that time.
