tarily the team felt It. and when Meu.
sci was so badly injured that he had
to quit last month for an indefinite
period the Yanks were hit In the
midrif. Following that came q sudden
rush Of nerves to the fingers Of Koe-
mig. who is too phlegmatic for that
sort Of thing. The combination Of all
these things has jolted the Yanks out
Of lot Of confidence.
Perhaps nothing hurt more than the
loss of Meusel. Many fans have re-
garded Meusel as an Indifferent player
because he plays so easily. He Is of
the Lajoie type. It took the average
base ball enthusiasts two years to
comprehend how great q player La
joie was. The old second baSennan
made his plays appear so simple that
no one ever thought he exerted him
self, yet when he was gone there was
a crater hole in every team that he
Folks who did not comprehend how
fast Meusel really is, and how he
can hit, and what strength there Is in
him, begin to realize now what he
meant TO the Yanks. Much has been
written of the return to form of Babe
Ruth this year, but the boy on the
New York team who was the real
bird OF prey against other teams was
Meusel, with a batting average of 1855
and more speed in the outfield and on
the bases than ever. It was to be
his big year. If ever a ball player was
headed toward one.
The Athletics are batting poorly
compared with what they need. They
haven't been within gunshot of their
batting strength in 1925, when they
led the league.
If the Athletics had dubbed the ball
this season as they did last year, in
combination with the better pitching
they have received, the Yanks would
be lucky to be FIRST now and wouldn't
have chance after August Is.

Some inexperienced players pull

that he had to retire from the game.

in treating the ankle injury with an
ice pack and Bucky expected to be in
harness again this afternoon for the
final game of the series with the
White Sox. But it will be plain
torture for him to perform.

said he may switch to Curly Ogden
