ATHLETICS AND
YANKEES READY
FOR BIG SERIES
BY FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, June 81. U.P)-The
tension and thrills which precedc
world series gripped the baseball
fans Of New York and several
thousand from Philadelphia today
as the Yankees and Athletics went
into the five game engagement
which may decide the American
League pennant race of 1929.
Not since the crippled Yanks
arose and beat back the confident
Cardinals of st. Louis in the post
, season battle of last October haze
baseball games meant as much to
the fans of this city, as the cor
tests scheduled to start at 80 D.
NJ. today.
With five games to play in the
next three days, the leading and
only real contenders for the Ameri-
can League flag braced themselves
for the struggle with professions of
confidence. Both clubs enjoyed Il
rest yesterday; both were early on
the battle ground, where all atten-
dance records for games in the first
half Of the season were threatened
by the rush of fans for tickets.
Connie Mack, having gathered to-
gether his first real pennant threat
since prev days, broke his tradi.
tional silence to confess to the
United Press that he believed the
Athletics could and would settle the
pennant race here and now.
1" do not think the Yankees can
stop us in this series, nor hereaf-
ter,' said the aged pilot, and for
Connie that is lot of talking.
On the other hand, Miller Hug
gins, almost equally reserved of
speech, expressed confidence in the
world S champions to stop the
Mackmen just as they did last
September, when they won three
out four from their rivals frorl
Philadelphia and took all the heart
out of the AS.
And as for Babe Ruth, well, tn,
mighty slugger growled in his lair
as he promised dire destruction this
afternoon.
"We II take those guys, just as
we always have predicted the
Babe, whose presence in the line up
is bound to hearten the Yankees,
even though he may not be at ais
best.
