Time Is At Hand.

Time Is At Hand.
THE time is at hand for some
other club to knock the
Yankees off their pedestal.
It may be the Griffmen. It
may be Cleveland, or Detroit, or
Boston. But, whoever turns the
trick, the time is at hand for the
Yankees to lose their champion
ship honors and to be broken up
as better clubs were before them,
notably the old Cubs, Tigers,
Pirates, Mackmen and several
teams Of McGraw's in New York.
Clark Griffith, discussing this
question with us last spring, re-
marked that he considered the
Yankees due to crack, either this
year or next at the latest. He
stressed the pitchers, all veterans,
and marshaled a whole flock of
facts learned in his years in the
game.
Much that he then said in a
quiet conservation one day down
in Tampa has come to pass. The
Yanks are cracking under the
strain. The time is at hand for
the American League title to
leave New York.
Let's hope it comes here. Let's
try, all together, to bring it here.
The Washington times., 1924-06-27

Furthermore, don't forget that
Curly Ogden, after winning three
games, developed a sore shoulder
and did little in that final rush
to the top of the ladder.
The Griffs are carrying nine
pitchers. This will not be any
too many for the tremendously
difficult schedule facing them
right now. Doubleheaders are
coming along like bananas, in
lunches. With hot weather as
sured, Bucky will need every one
Of that large staff.
They have three extra infield-
ers, Shirley for first base, Gag
non for second, third or short,
and Doc Prothro for the hot cor
ner. If Bluege happens to be on
the bench, he is available for sec
ord, third or short at a moments
notice.
In the outfield Memo Leibold,
classy fielder and heady man
on the bases, and Carr Smith, a
clouting kid learning baseball in
the hard school Of q pennant
fight in the big show, stand ready
to fill in at the word.
With Muddy Ruel unable to 60
behind the bat, Bucly Harris has
the sturdy red top, Hargrave,
Euilt Of steel and a huge favorite
with the fans. If "Reds" is hurt,
little Tate will hop in and do a
fine bit Of work himself. He
was with Memphis q year ago
and was called the most promis-
ing young catcher in the South
ern Association. He has yet to
earn his spurs in fast company,
but he isn't overlooking any edu-
cational tips while sitting on the
Washington bench.
Remembering that, in making
that valiant rush from sixth to
first place in a week, the Griffs
had to call upon their reserves,
the fans need not worry too much
whenever one of the regulars hap
pens to be hurt or bounced out
of the game for demanding his
rights from those burglars, the
umpires.
Yes, Buckley has some reserves;
0arned good ones, too.

comments Frederick G.
- Lieb in the New York
Telegram Mail, SHOULD save the

class should aid them in a grind
ing race, especially if several
clubs are massed at the finish"
The "class" Of a team is usually
determined by its position in a
race. If it wins, it "has the
class" If it doesn't it "lacks
class" That's how you always
read it in the paper.
AS to "experience"-yes, the
Yanks are surely an experienced
ball club. There isn't a man in
the lineup, unless Hendrick hap.
pens to be playing in the garden,
who hasn't been through the mill.
But how much Of this "experi-
