TOR four years the New York
Yankees dominated baseball to
such an extent they left a cock-eyed
slant on the double corral. They
left too definite an impression that
the American league was the whole
show, including the pink lemonade,
the big tent, the elephants, the hard
blue seats and the side-show after
the main act
It was never quite that way. 1t
wasn't the American league which

L u e ) faul DerrlngeI
from 1885 through
1899 were an exception. They had
practically everything-the hitting,
the fielding, the pitching, the conf
dence and the pOise. They had amaz-
ing balance, which is something that
time works on in its leisurely way.
The TrUo Leagues
American leaguers will tell you
that Detroit, Cleveland, Boston and
New York all could win the National
league pennant, with something to
spare.
National leaguers, now lifted from
the gloomy abyss of the years that
knew defeat, are telling you the
Reds and Dodgers would run away
with an American league pennant.
''What do you suppose" one vet
eran National Lacquer asked me,
would happen to that American
league if their hitters had to move
out against Paul Derringer, Bucky
Walters, Junior Thompson, Jim
Turner, Whitley Moore and others
day after day? There wouldn't be
a team In that league hitting .240
against Red pitching"
This is moving a trife fast the
other way.
The two leagues now are better
balanced than they have been in
some years. Again this is largely
due to the Yankee drop.
where are my Rulings and Dick
eys and Gehrigs and Gomezes and
Gordons and Rolfes and Crosettis?"
Joe Mccarthy also might be asking
today.
Baseball, in losing the four-year
Yankees - losing them so far, at
least-has built up additional inter-
est through both leagues, especially
the American league.
I'LL Wind Etc.
The present campaign may be an
iii wind for the Yankees, but it has
been a soothing summer breeze for
the other clubs which have been
shivering in the Barren Lands since
1895.
Now we have two great pennant
races, two well-matched leagues,
and two great stretch runs on ahead.
Who can ask for more? Barring,
of course, the Yankees, who still
can't understand who swung the
lead pipe and just what has hap
pened.
Not to Be Overlooked
Leading golfers Of today are far
better than the old-timers from 1920
to 1885," writes Onlooker. ''You can
tell that from the comparative
scores of the two periods. That is
always the answer"
It may be part of the answer, but
not all of it. Golf balls today are
many yards longer than they were
10 or Il years ago. Golf courses are
better conditioned. The green's are
truer.
We have a star bunch of golfers
around today as IN old days.

But it's all different today. The
Yankees of 1910 are far and away

of the Yankees from their old
heights, so the dominance Of the
American league has ended.
I saw the National league win its
aIl-star game in Tampa last March.
I saw National league pitchers tie
American league sluggers into an
assortment of true lovers knots.
The same thing happened in St.
Louis recently. Once again National
league pitchers put silencers on
American league bats.

can league sluggers have ham,

political revolution.
Mr.. Roosevelt's action was re-

knocking out the last hope of fol
lowers of General Juan Almazan,
who still contends he, and not adj
ministration-backed General Avila
Camacho, was the winner of the

BRITISH CRUISER
SAVES LARGE PART
OF 38-SHIP CONVOY

ten arrived tonight IN a single
British port.
The returning seamen saluted
the heroism of the armed British
merchant cruiser Jervis Bay,
which went out to fight a hopeless
and fatal struggle with the Ger
man while the other ships. scat
tered under orders.
One officer told the Associated
Press that he thought the Nazi
Warship was the Admiral Scheer
or perhaps the Luetzow formerly
the Deutschland.)
The raider was sighted at dusk.
ne said, and Immediately opened
fire: The Jervis Bay went down
IN the action but "she acted with
courage and gallantry. Her end
was in keeping with our glorious
naval traditions. VIZ owe u lives
to her gallant crew."
The admiralty was similarly
congratulatory.
That nearly three-quarters OF
this large. convoy escaped destruc-
ton at the hands of the powerful
German raider was due to the
high degree of efficiency shown
by the captains of the merchant
vessels in scattering and making
use OF smoke and to the very gal
liant action of the armed merchant
cruiser Jervis Bay, which was es-
cortlng the convoy" said the ad-
mlralty, communique.
Full details of this action are
not yet available but it is known
that H.M.S. Jervis Bay steered for
the enemy and engaged her with
greatly inferior armament, t h S
enabling the majority in the con-
Voy to make good their escape
Inns. Jervis Bay continued to
engage the enemy after she had
been severely hit and was burning
furiously. Nearly two hours after
the beginning of. the engagement
an explosion was seen to t a k e
place on board H.M.S. Jervis Bay
and it is regretted that she must
be considered as lost.
1T is known that IS survivors
OF H.M.S. Jervis Bay are on board
a merchant ship" q
