NEW YORK, Sept. /. W,R)
September, the month in
which baseball clubs tradi-
tionally make their stretch
drive for the pennant, ar
rived today and found the New
York Yankees so far in front in
the American league race that
they could crawl to the finish
tape and still win.
The Bronx Bombers, 161a games
in front of the pack and needing
only II victories in 26 remaining
games to cinch the flag, are well
on their way to three important
records.
First, they threaten to better
the American league margin for
winning a championship. Second,
the Major league home run record
is in danger of being broken by the
new "murderers' row." Third, the
American league attendance mark
is certain to be surpassed.
Can Top Record
By increasing their leadership
three more games, the Yankees can
top the record by 10 set by the
Rupert Rifles of 1927. And, at
the speed at which they've been
climbing and the rate the opposi-
tion has been falling, there seems
no doubt of its accomplishment.
With a collection of 157 home
runs to their credit this year, the
Mccarthy men need only 16 more
to tie and II to break the all time
record of ITO set by the Philadel-
phia Athletics in 1882.
The belief that Yankee prosper
ity faded with Babe Ruth has
been entirely dispelled by the
crowds which have thronged to
Yankee Stadium this year. The
clouting Yanks have performed be-
fore 1,051,085 paying guests at the
stadium this year. With nine
more home games, including a
Sunday tilt and a labor day double
header, hopes of new league at
tendance record are we'll founded.
The 1880 Yankees established a
mark of 100000.
The Major league mark of l.
100000 cash customers in one sea-
son. set by the National league
Chicago Cubs, seems fairly safe.
The drawing power of the Yam
KEGS undoubtedly is their ability
at crashing out extra base hits.
The coming of Joe Di Maggie,
rookie outfielder from the san
Francisco Seals, has given the
fans something to talk about since
the passing of Ruth.
Another Newcomer
Bob Seeds is another newcomer
who has helped.
In the four games Seeds has
played he has been at bat Is
times and gotten five hts for a
mark of 1888, driving in seven
runs and scored four himself.
Yesterday he crashed out two
home runs in the YankS' to l
victory over Chicago. A mate was
aboard when his eighth inning
clout came. Di Maggie accounted
FOR the other two Yankee runs
with a four Dagger in the first
with Saltzgaver on base. 1t was
the only game scheduled in the
American.
In the lone National league
game, the Chicago Cubs defeated
the New York Giants, to 0, Lon
Warneke limiting the Terry men
to six scattered Safeties.

Yawkey Intends to 0utbid
Yanks if Lands Makes

BY GEORGE CHADWICK

"A VIEW YORK, November 10.-Ton
N Yawkey and Eddie Collins are
" turning a receptive ear in the
4 y direction Of Cleveland. If a
roar Of indignant protest reaches them
1t will be the signal for the ever handy
Yawkey fountain pen to scratch out
large numerals for the services OF
Bob Feller, the sensational young
pitcher who breezes a fast ball so
swiftly that amazed old-timers are
unable to see or connect with it.
Yep, should Judge Lands rule in
favor of the Des Moines club and de-
clare Feller a free agent, 1t will be a
bidding race between the New York
Yankees and the Red Sox to obtain
the services of the kid who turned his

Yves Ferrell kicked up in the fashion
which caused his trade from Cleve-

his old form and is counted upon for
another good season. Fritz Oster-

Yawkey After Youngsters.

WEAK reserves had as much to do
w with the sixth-place finish of
the Red Sox as anything. From this
1t may be seen that Bob Feller would
be powerful factor on the mound for
a club which saw but four hurlers
finishing with better than $3.50
average for the season.
That the Red Sox are in for dras-
tic changes is admitted on all sides
The old saying that "pennants cannot
be bought" or won in the hot stove
league" Is more than ever true. When
Yawkey dipped into his generous wal
let and purchased players by the
wholesale, some fans were ready to
concede the pennant to the Sox.
Rumblings of discomfort, injuries
and what ever else was used for an
alibi, soon found the Sox wallowing
in the depths of the first division and
finally dropping lower. 1t was a sad
blow for sportsman ready to do his
best to hoist a pennant flag from the
topmost pole on Fenway Park.
The Yawkey bankron still is ready
for further plucking. But not for
established stars. Young ones like
Bob Feller, as though there were many
of his kind hanging around. are
wanted.
