Even base ball men are viewing the
progress of the New York team with
concern. The fact Is that base ball In
New York Is overdone. Fans In the

n yEW YORK, August 27.-If the
New York Yanks fail to win
NJ the American League cham
1 Y pionship this season the team
will be cut into mincemeat
and canned for 1929.
Babe Ruth is falling to bat in any
runs. That is one thing that is the
matter with the Yankees. He has more
than 10 runs batted in for the season
to date. the second largest total OF the
league: but it must be remembered that
these include the home runs he has
clouted. AL Simmons of the Athletics
has batted in more runs than has Ruth
and i'm many ways has made himself
quite as useful to the Philadelphia team
as Ruth has made himself to the CHAM
pions.
Homers Interest Ruth.
There are old timers in base ball who
think Ruth is altogether too much con-
cerned about making a better home
run record this season than he has
made before and that he is grooming
himself in his literary venture, what
ever the results may be. That sounds
harsh. yet it is true that If Gehrig
were not batting in runs the Yankees
DC IlS1ltAfib VIA
the Athletics for first place. They
would be farther down, fighting to stay
in the first division.
The Yankee infield in 1929 Is never
likely TO go on again as 1t is trying to
60 on now. Whether Larry and Reese,
the California products. make the team
or don't. it is evident the Yankees must
have a firmer foundation than they
have at present on the infleld If they
expect to win ball games.
LazZeri has been injured part OF the
season and is now out definitely be-
cause his shoulder is bothering him.
Koenig has been out of the game at
times and so has Dugan, so that the
only sturdy infielder on the team Is
Gehrig. Durocher has proved to be a
high class infielder, but he can't hit like
an inflelder should hit who belongs TO
team of this type.
It certain that change will be
made behind the bat. The present
catching force of the Yankees is slow
ing up and is too uncertain. Bengough
Ii one of the best catchers in the coun-
try. but his arm gets out of keller.
Grabows'-i is bit slow and Collins has
reached his zenith and Is going the
other way.
The disintegration of the pitching
staff Is the hardest blow OF all, for the
Yankees figured they were In fine fet-
tie and would go on easily when they
got their long lead in the Spring. They
expected that Moore would come around
and that Pennock would surely last the
year through. Moore seems to have
thrown his arm into the championship
of 1927. as pitchers have done before.
Giving everything he had In him, he
gave more than he can recover. His
weak arm is the result of overwork.
Pennock Is Uncertain.

shoulder before and as likely as not
