KEGS might survive and retain
their leadership, but they would
have q stiff fight looming up,
sitter than they have yet had.
Collapse of the Yanks, coupled
with a winning streak by the
Griffs, would have six teams well
punched for top honors by Au-
gust. In two months almost any
thing could happen. Clark Grit
fifth believes this is the program
ahead, relying on his team to hit
at least one winning streak and
for the Yankees to crumbIe.
In such a fight pitching would
come close to deciding the ulti-
mate triumph. If the Griffs can
get into such a pennant fight and
have at least three regular
starting pitchers strong enough
to work in turn with the aid of
one relief finger, they would be

make that quartet. If Ogden or
Morrell, or both, could then come

That 500 Mark


HYOTICE how stubbornly the
N Griffs are clinging to that
\ Y 500 mark? That explains
the cheerfulness of some of the
bows who refuse to consider them
selves out Of this pennant hunt,
even with the New York Yankees
striding away out in front.
i "Stay up around the 500 mark"
says Clark Griffith, land you're
in position to hit the top between
July 4 and October. To do this,
of course, you must hit a win
ming streak or two. That's al
ways possible"
The Yankees have benefited
this spring by two long winning
streaks. one of which went to six
teen straight before stopping.
Those spurts put the team above
the ZOO mark and came close to
SCATTERING all hope for the other
alleged contenders. However, to-
day the Yankees show signs of
faltering under the strain and
have been slowly dropping back
to the next five teams which have
been chopping each other to pieces
for weeks.
The champions have had plenty
of hard luck since the flag went
up in April. Their pitchers have
yet to show consistency, their
batters have sluuped, their field
ing has been extremely spotty,
their base running has been
wretched at times. And yet, de-
spite all this, they still hover
around the 800 mark without
benefit of any winning streaks
continuing for more than four
games, if memory serves.
