Yankees song of victory TO-
N nlght was Ta,s pasn ,t Of praise sissf for
of all times, and Wiley Moore,
lank Olllahoman, whom the business
office OF the club bought by telephone
last year because he could pitch 30
victories in the Sally League.
Breaking ranks like a college fresh
man class going home for the annual
vacation, the Yanks in turn Rugged
and patted the ample, smiling bulk of

the silent and slightly bald 3o-year-
old twirler who pitched the club TO
it's fourth straight victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The thrills and upsets OF the final
game still fingered bit. There was
Lou Gehrig, for instance, who famed
in the ninth with the bases full, the
score tied and the game just waiting
to be broken up with a hit. Lou could
only shake his head and looked panied
when the subject was mentioned.
Babe Ruth Is Happy.

trophies and odds and ends that fill
his locker, still had time to chuckle
bit over his homer that put the
Yanks two runs ahead in the fifth

past season and two in the classic
series to boost the Babes all-time

Yes. Dorothy, those were the two

credit to the Yankees as one Of the

In my mind this team must be ciassed
