A THOUGH everybody comedies
n the Yankees have a world OF
"A ability. there is no denying good
\ fortune has favored them IN
many ways.
There is an old belief IN baSe pail
that a pennant winner gets the ma
jority of the breaks, TINS was par
ticularlv true of the Yankees last sea-
son. and the luck in large measure
favored those TWO herculean hitsmiths.
Ruth and Gehrig.
Before 1927 Ruth was the big noise
due mostly to his murderous oludgeon
The Yankees proves depenoed upon
his home-run making 10 such an eS,
tent that opposing managers resorted
to the intentional pass to get rid OF him
In the pincheS.
Then, without warning. Lou Gehrig
biossomed into home-run hombre, and
the nonresident managers were forcibly
reminded of an old maxim. Fortune Is
ity." So. with Gehrig's advent, the
intentional pass racket was strapped,
as the policy of passing one OF them
to pitch 10 the other is like taking
arsenic instead of carbolic acid. There
fore the Yankees 1927 offensive was
welded around Ruth and Gehrig, not
to forget such satellites as LaZzcri.
Combs and MeuSel.
However. the piece OF luck have In
mind. relative TO Ruth and Gehrig, CEN
tiers around the personnel o! the
Yankees pitching staff. Pennock,
Shocker and Moore are the ones am
thinking of. What would have been the
fate OF Ruth and Gehrig II these three
great mound masters had been members
of other clubs. pitching against Ruth
and Gehrig all Summer? II would not
have been so easy for the pair. TO drive
their homers over apartment buildings.
When Shocker was pitching for the
Browns. Ruth was a toy in his hands.
The crafty spitballer had the Indian
sign on Babe. and not only forced him
to pop up continually. but made him
take the proverbial drink OF water" al
most at will. Pennock also figures 10
make a terrific swinger like Ruth cat
out of his hand. mainly through his
policy Of making a good hitter swing at
bad balls Add Wilcey Moore and his
"sinker BALI TO the program and Ruth
appearance at the plate would be futile
In more cases. Lou Gehrig would find
himself in the same boat against this
tr!umy!rate Of pitching masters.

NEWS REVIEW OF
Current Events
Maine Election Notable for
Size of G. o. P. Majorities;
Smith Nails a Lie.
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD


THOSE who still place faith intthe
old saying "As Maine goes, so goes
the nation" are now free to place
their bets on Hoover; for the Repub-
lican ticket won sweeping victory In
the state election last week. How
ever no one had doubted that the G.
O. p would elect its candidates, and
the significant features We're the size
of their ma jorities and the total vote.
The former was a surprise to even
the most optimistic Republicans. Viii
liam T. Gardiner defeated E. c. Mo-
ran, Jr., for the governorship by near
ty $4,000 votes and Senator Frederick
Hale's majority over Herbert e.
Holmes was approximately $4,000.
The Republican majority was more
than double what 1t was four years
ago and four times what it was ins
1926. The total vote was about So
900 less than IL was in the last Prcsi-
Dental year. but analysis shows that
the loss was mostly sustained by the
Democrats The Republicans had
made an especial effort to get out
their vote and the Democrats were
frankly apathetic. The Republicans
elected all four of the states con-
gressmen.
Naturally, Republican National
Chairman Work reioiced in the Maine
outcome and found In it presa@e for
Hoover victory, asserting that the
campaign in the Pine Tree state was
waged largely on national issues. On
the other hand, Democratic Chairman
Raskob saw no omen in the result,
saying his party had made no esoe-
cial effort there and no national is
sues were decided by the Maine cleo
ton. He was ''surprised the Repub-
licans did not poll larger vote"
The records show. that since 1910,
in Is ont of 80 Presidential election
years, the. result in the Maine state
election has correctly foretold the out
come of the Presidential election.
