The Yankees seem a different
team from that which jolted the
Griffs so hard early in July. They
are showing no spirit in the field

He cannot hit home runs every time
he comes up and there is decided
falling off when he has been re-
tired.
In comparison to the Yanks, a
stranger from Mars would imagine
the Griffmen to be the champions
Of the world. They are playing
their heads off all the time, battling
tooth and nail for everything, en-
couraging each other and winning
bali games. They expect to keep up
this pace from now till the end of
the season which should be just
about enough to give them the
championship.
