RY GEORGE CHADWICK,

n YEW YORK. October LIN the
N American League there is no
~ other team of the type Of
4 Y those rnllcking sluggers, the
New York Yankees. Nor is
there one in the National League.
This should be given a thought by
those who digest base ball box scores
daily particularly when n world series
Is only a few days in the otfins.
Likewise it has been pointed out
that The National League club with
the most individuality is the Pitts
l1urSh Pirates. II is not such marked
individuality as that of the Yankees,
however. 1t is almost impossible 10
make direct comparison between the
Yankees and any club of the National
League The Nanks are i'll class by
themselves.
Both the Yankees and the Pirates
are known for their hitting power.
But they are not alike in their slug
cling. 1t is slash, cut and run with
the Pirates and biff, bang and garlop
with the Yanks.
The difference between the two
teams, the actual playing difference
between them. could be represented
by a hair line. An error by any one
player can damage a game so that 1t
will be completely scrambled. A base
hit by one player at the right time
probably will be the difference be
tween the world series checks of the
winners and those of the losers.
! Every Yank Good Player.
'tThis Yankee team is one without
Single bad bali PLAYER on its roll.
This includes the substitutes as well
as the regulars. There are players
on the team who are nearing the end
Of their base ball activities. but they
are not bad players, even as they find
themselves tightening up with age.
A remarkable tribute, this, to their
natural, inborn, physical skill-their
base ball art.
1.-THE Yanks have two men who have
run each other a race for home runs
all season, and who fer much of the
time were tied-not a tie at 10 home
runs or Is. but at more than 40. If
at the opening of the season some
one had prophesied that such a slug
g7ng race would develop, there would
have been 50,000.000 people TO laugh
at such audacity. But the incon-
eeivable did happen. This is not to
say that Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig
Will go on making home runs in the
world series, but it does help in show
Ing that the Yankees are unlike any
thing in base ball.
EOf the Yankee pitchers. three or
fur of the old-timers are high up in
the averages for the season. 1t is
argued by some that the pitchers
were assisted by the good work of
the batters. They We're. But the
Ritchers had to have something above
the ordinary or they would not have

may duplicate in the world series what
he has achieved during the regular
season.
The Yankees had reserves this sea-
son who took up where the Older
boys left off when injuries hit the
team--and its pennant drive never
fatcred an instant. That is another
of the unusual attributes of the team.
Now what gives the Pittsburgh P!-
rates their individuality? Chiefly the
combination of the Corsican Brothers
in the outfield. the two Waners, Poi
son" and Little Poison" as Pitts
burgh folks affectionately call them.
There are no two like them in base
ball
The Waners are the two most ar
tistic brothers who have come into
base bail in years, perhaps in ell time.
That is Why they give Pittsburgh in
diViduality. Yet they are not a bir
like the team of Ruth and Gehrig.
The Yankee pair swing the world over

second the no less remarkable con-
sistency of George Voigt in winning

II Stevinson's performance was ar
tsolated piece of great golf--an in

That it came under medal play condi-
tfons is the better testimonial to the
Spirit and courage of the Columbia
star, even though Indian Spring ad-
niittedly was as easy to score on dur
ing the District championship play
as it ever has been or probably ever
SNill be. a combination of fast fair
ways and heavy putting greens is
IDEAL for scoring purposes, and that
is just the way Indian Spring was on
Wednesday, the first day of the cham
fiionship and the day Stevinson set
his record mark of 81. Yet no man
can laugh off a 6,500-yard course
played in 81 strokes, no matter how
fast the fairways. nor how soft the
greens. Remarkable golf-the round

Wherein Hornsby Erred.

Paul Waner will lead the National
League in batting this year. as the
writer predicted some months ago.
Rogers Hornsby has permitted himself
tn he quoted as saying that neither
Paul nor Lloyd Waner will he within
25 points of the Hornsby batting per
centage in 1928. That did not become
Hornsby. He has little 4act at any
time, but +his was sheer foolhardiness
for it makes it appear as though
Hornsby were a little jealous of the
Waners. They have knocked him out
Of the batting leadership. even
though he tried hard to get back
TO the top.
The principal thing to be considered
in the world series is that the Yankees
are wholly unlike anything that has
been produced in base ball before
They are endowed with a certain
super-abundance of strength, an ex-
cess of punch that does not go to
the head, and a more satisfactory con-
fdence in their own skill than they
ever have had before. Such a COM
blnation can wreck the hopes of many
a rival team. The Yanks' second
punch may be just q little too strong
for the Pirates-just as the zone
two of Gene Tunney was too much
for Jack Dempsey.
