I think there were four teams
within half a game of the pen

the Yankees, wild pitched his
team out of victory and let the
Detroit Tigers in under the wire

crises, commenced to compile a

Yanks Would Land
Utility Man For
Outfield

The New York Yankees to-
day are seeking a utility out
fielder. Whether 2O-year-old
Fred Walker, optioned to
Toledo. will be recalled or a
minor league deal put through
remains to be seen.
When Dusty" Cooke was in
jured while diving for Ossie
Bluege's Texas Lacquer" yes
terday, Manager Joe Mccarthy
was forced to send Charley Ruff
fling to right field. Ruffing
looked the part of great
pitcher.
Unless Myril Hoag, who has
been injured. does a surprising
comeback today Mccarthy may
again be forced to draft an
emergency man from a scramble
of players not fitted for the
Job.

CdQ6S.
There have been three out
standing samples of mental or
physical listlessness that had
direct bearing on league or pen
nant titles and a couple OF
others, while not so vital to a
teams chances in the race. were
glaring enough to make discus
sion in the years that followed.
Lary's blunder will go into the
archives with the latter group,
unless it should be that the end
of the season finds the Yankees
minus one victory to enter the
world series.
In such a case, the baseball
wags will declare Larry lost the
flag back in April. They will be
sure to blame it on Lyn. No one
will ever think to say that Ruth
lost it by plowing into Berry and
thereby incapacitating himself
and robbing the Yanks of their
punch; nor will anyone think to
blame it on Gehrig, who tries to
tag out a runner going to first
rather than cut off the winning
run going home.
Lyn Larry is already the Off
cial goat of the season and he
might as we'll get himself a
Ounce cap right now. His only
salvation is for the YankS to
get themselves long lead in the
race and keep it--and that isn't
beyond the pale of possibility,
either.

A single that took a bad hop
accounted for three runs in the
eighth and gave North Carolina
State a 4-3 victory over the
Maryland University nine yester-
day afternoon at College Park,
Md.
With one gone and runners on
first and second, Nelms, North
Carolina State outfielder, rifled
single to left field. The ball
hoped over Cronin's head and
went for a homer. Bill McIlWee,
Terrapin southpaw. was doing the
flinging and had limited the
Wolfpack to five hits for the
first seven innings. The loss
biased Maryland's hopes for the
Tri-State league championship of
the Southern Conference. Mary

games, has won six and lost four
Tri-State league games.
