SPORT SLANTS SHOW EXPERTS
PICK YANKEES AS REPEATERS

The business of exporting, it seems,
is on firmer ground in baseball than
it is in boxing. When a Geam going
like the Yankees has a 13 game lead
over their nearest rivals the predic-
ton of victory seems fairly safe.
Even Huggins is now ready to admit
his club has a fair chance" Of win
ming the flag. And when Miner be-
comes as loquacious as that, it's sig
nificant.
The Yankee camp followers feel so
sure that the team is ''in' now that
they are talking more about breaking
the league record for victories than
about whether Washington or any
club has a chance to overhaul the
Hugmen
With 67 victories and percentage
of .720 up to today, the Yankees
appear we'll on the way to smashing
the American league record OF los
victories and a percentage of .691,
set by the Boston Red SoX in 1912.
Little better than an even break in
the remaining games would enable
7 the Yankees to break that mark. They
the less likely however, to endanger
the major league record of 116 vic
tories for q percentage of 763, made
by the 1906 Chicago Cubs.
The National league, meanwhile, is
! having another dingdong pennant
battle, although the Pirates and Cubs
have shown more consistency than
j the worlds champion Cardinals or
! Giants.
1t might have been. five club race
! il Cincinnati had had Hughie Critz
around second base at the start, plus
such pitching as Luque, Lucas and
Rixey have been exhibiting lately.
1t now appears that the compare
lively small item of some $4,000 that
stood between Critz and the club in
their preseason salary dispute was
more costly than it seemed at the
time.
1t may take few years to find
requirements of international calibre
for Americas twin tennis aces, Little
Bill" Johnston and big Bill' Tilden,
but at least two sensational young
sters have caught the eye of those
looking to Davis cup battles OF the
future.
Johnny Doeg, of Santa Monica,
Calf, 18 year old scion of family
famous in tennis, and Wilbur (Junior)
Coen, Of Kansas City, are the youth
full racquet stars now in the limelight.
Of the two, Doeg may ripen into
international timber quicker A left
handler, with a spectacular service,
Doeg has impressed easterners with
his prospects by winning the Rhode
Island and ,Longwood tournaments in
succession. Doeg is the son of Violet
Sutton Doeg, herself noted player
and sister of May Sutton Bundy.
He was the junior champion last
year and conspicuous enough to be
placed number IA on the national
.ranking list At the pace he is going
now the young California star seems
certain to make the "lirSt ten" this
season.
