Many Pilots Not Worrying.

/ Unsigned, but due for renewals:
Joe Mccarthy, New York
Yankees. whose two-year contract ex-
pires this season; Bill McKechnie
Boston Bees; Jimmy Wilson, Phila-
delphia Phillies; Bucky Harris, WASH
ington Nationals.
Unsigned and status in doubt:
Steve O'Neill, Cleveland Indians; Pie
Traynor, Pittsburgh Pirates. and
Frank Frisch, st. Louis Cardinals.
On the basis of this summary, only
Z OF the is managers are certain of
their 1888 status. Not all Of the 9TH
ers are worrying, however.
There's no doubt Marse Joe Nc
Carthy will be offered renewal prob
ably on long-term basis and possibly
at an increase over his current S35 900
salary. The Yankee pilot won't dis
cuss the details with his boss, Col.
Jacob Rupert, until after the world
series.
Similarly, McKechnie can have the
job OF bossing the Bees as long as he
wants. There's grounds for suspect
ing, however, that the squire of Will
kinsburgh, Pa, may be offered q
pilots job elsewhere on terms so fat
tering that he can't refuse and the
Boston club can't match them.

When two clubs are as evenly

we'll be in for something that won't

I'm more concerned about nv own

Giants or the Cubs" he added. "One

Inc Giants and CUBS, hghting
~ for the National League pen
4 nant, also are fighting for
chance to meet the Yankees in the
world series. 1t isn't a very inviting
prospect that faces the winner of this
duel That's the way it looks to an
outsider, anyway.
But, as base ball men know, any,
thing can happen-especially in
short series. The Yankees admittedly
are the most powerful club in either
league-with fellows like Gehrig. Di
Maggie, Dickey and Lazzeri-or any,
body in the lineup for that matter

enemy pitcher may have been proceed
ing up to that moment. But even
the Yankees can be stopped and

the season. 1t could happen in 4
world series.
Nobody knows this better than Joe
Mccarthy. And I doubt If any one
outside the ranks of the Giants and
the Cubs Is as interested in the out

race as he is. Because he has to play

Yanks Aim to Dust Tribe.

THE rest of today's National League
program consisted of two other
double-headers. The last-place Reds,
whose popular manager, Chuck Dres-
sen, was dismissed yesterday, were
hosts to the Dodgers, while the Phils
invaded ST. Louis.
In the American League the Yanks
set about the elimination of another
contender" the Indians. Having
disposed of the Nationals, Athletics
and Browns, the Rupert riot squad
can remove all mathematical chance
of Cleveland winning the pennant by
taking three of their four games.
The Tigers opened their final East
ern swing in Washington, the Browns
were at Philadelphia and the Red Sox
and White Sox had day off.

Cliff is the run-batter-in with 103
