New York writer's have been tell
ing their dear public that the real
test of the Yankees will not come
until the As appear ct the Yankee
Stadium on Sept. 8. They have en-
tireIy overlooked the eight games
the titleholders must play with the
Griffs before that date. They prob.
ably don't take them seriously.
As i matter Of fact, were the
Grifts today playing as they did
prior to July I. or even August 4,
the Yankees might wei snap their
fingers 1t them. The champions
have won 10 out OF the IA games
played with the Griffs.
But today Bucky Harris has his
team well in hand. He has been
showing that enthusiastic leadership
which swept his club over the top
in 1894 and 1925. Against the West
ern clubs here the Griffs showed d
diversified offense pulling to the
foe. Their pitching was smooth and
their hitting, while not exactly hard
was timely. The Yankees will find
the Griffs worthy foemen In these
coming eight contests.
