NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The dyna- mite in the Yankees attack that has made Murderer's Row an al- most sure bet for the American League pennant lies in the ability of any man in the batting order to break up a ball game.
 It's not as though the opposition pitcher could pass one man to get at an easy third out, because there isn't an easy man to pitch to in the lineup.
 From Frank Crosetti in the lead off role right down to and including the pitchers, there's an explosion in every bat This is what is mak- ing the Tanks a threat to nearly every extra-base record in the books. Tough On Enemy HurlerS ! As a result the wear and tear the Yankees have been producing on enemy pitching staffs is terrific. They've used up an average of more than two opposing hurlers per game. The Cleveland Indians threw ! 48 hurlers against them in Is starts. The Browns used 35 in Is games; thes Triggers 38; the White Sox 30, and it's the same all down the line.
 But the Yankees haven't seemed to mind any kind of pitching. They like fast ball hurlers better than slow-ballers, but curve is the same to them as a hot one in the groove
 They've piled up around 150 hom- CTS so far this season, and are aim- ing at the record of 173 compiled by the 1892 Philadelphia Athletics. They've hit well over 400 extra base blows.
 The outstanding point in this rec ord is that every player has had a hand in it. Lou Gehrig, of course, leads the way as he knocks out homers in his effort to reach Babe Ruth's all-time high of 60. But Catcher Bill Dickey is up there with more than 20. Rookie Joe Di Mag gio and Outfielder George Selkirk are up there, too.
 May Set NeD Records
 The Tanks either lead the league, or are right next door to the top, in just about every division of at tack. As team, the homicide squad has batted in around TOO runs for an average of better than six game, which is hitting "in the clutch" in any league
 If their current pace is main- tained there1l be lot of new rec ords in the books when the 1886 volumes go to press at the end of the season.
 With such power, the Tanks have little need for the best pitching in the league. Yet, although the hurl- ing situation was woeful before July IS, it has picked up considerably and now ranks with most of the other clubs.
 With such a set-up. therefore, there seems little danger the New Workers will blow their lead be- fore the pennant chase winds up. Only a major explosion can keep them out of the World Series, and there doesn't seem to be any club, at this writing, that can set off such blast.
