The
SpoR7LIeH7
Crockup Proves Typical
Of Yunk Consistency
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
kneriaI Correspondent of The Star

NEW YORK. Sept. 10 (NANA)
There is one thing to be said about
the Yankees AS team, win or lose
they have been the most consistent
machine of all time. They came u
and ruled the game for four years
as team.
When they crashed-they fell
apart as team.
No one can look back on the
waning campaign of 1910 and pick
out any Yankee goats. Not one
goat or two goats or three goats.
They rose and fell together
1t was general and widespread
disintegration. Their pitching fell
far off from old-time form. Their
hitting took terrific slump. Their
once almost miraculous defense de-
veloped leaks, fore and aft
No one can throw the blame on
Bill Dickey. Red Ruffing. Lefty
Gomez, Joe Gordon, Red Rolfe,
Frank Crosetti or Joe Di Maggie
They all hit the soapy chute, head
and head. arm in arm.
Part of this was physical. Part
of it was psychological. Part of it
was the iron shod turn of nature
"As this old world goes roun' and
roun',
Some 60 up-and some go down" "
There is no such thing as per-
petual motion-upward or down.
ward Life is so constructed that
one learns more from defeat than
from victory.

Funny things happen in amateur
golf tournaments. Discounting the
easily demonstrable fact that the
amateurs are not the jewels of con-
sistency that make up pro golf. its
hard TO reconcile some of the topsy
turvy things that happen in the
simon pure game
Such things, for example, as Earle
Skinker not qualifying for the Dis
trict amateur championship. Earle
had won the interscholastic title at
Manor earlier in the year. Less
than a month ago he qualified
handily for the national champion
ship and last week at Winged Foot
he won a place in the match rounds.
He could be included among the "a
best amateur golfers in America for
that stunt. for the "a survivors were
what was left of a field of more
than 800 original entries.
Yet Earle is not playing at Manor
today as the boys run through two
rounds of the tourney for the local
simon pure crown. Had he holed
out on the 18th at Manor he would
have been too high to qualify. So
he picked up,
A draw made strictly by the
seeded method, according to scores
in the medal round. found a nicely
balanced championship flight start
ing match play today. with former
champion and medalist Roger Pea
cock and couple of Georgetown
youngsters standing out in the top
half, while Ralph Bogart, the de-
Tending title holder. and Maryland
champ Parker Nolan seemed to be
the tough gents in the lower half
Yet. such are the exigencies of
amateur golf, you couldn't tell any
thing about it. except that Peacock
has chance to retrieve an other
wise dull year with a win of the
biggest local title of them all. Roger
started out in good fashion, unravel-
ing from the mysteries Of the wood
enshrouded Manor course a three
over-par 70. which shouldn't have
been good enough to win the medal,
but was.
1t shouldn't have been good
enough, because C. Henry Cohen of
Capital, former Washington and Lee
golf captain, had two rs and a s
on his card and yet finished with
IS. And because Parker Nolan
missed 4-footer and a tie on the
home green.
Here is the way the seeded draw
worked out in the championship

Physical and Psychological
Foults Blend in Crosh

This Is an invaluable law of
compensation. If it wasn't that way
what an upside down existence this
would be-
The Yankees. on one side, were
assailed by physical downward
drifting-Dickey Rufflng Gomez and
others-stars who had been big
factors in their phenomenal
supremacy.
They were attacked on another
side by too much success Thev
were rated 3-to-5 shots against the
field as the 1910 season opened
They were kick-ins. This was bound
to have a bad effect on the entire
team. I mean psychologically.
I have been asked over and over
how an entire team could hit the
gravel road in a bunch.
It wasn't just matter of three
or four important cogs through the
first three months-but Dickey.
Rufing, Gomez, Gordon. Rolfe,
Crosetti, Sundra-to mention only
a few.
In the first place. don't forget
that the Yankee battery of Ruling
and Dickey was one of the greatest
in baseball along with Mathewson
and observation-disclosures and Street
Brown and Kling-Grove and
Cochrane-Waddeu and Schreck-
Alexander and Killifer-on and on.
Di Maggie remains the leading
factor through the teams last
desperate charge before most OF the
cast fell apart.
Bill Dickey has been a major
factor for many years. He is a
12-year veteran back of the plate.
Dickey is the only catcher in history
who ever drove in more than 100
runs four years.
Red Rufing has been one of the
most effective pitchers in the old
clutch year after year. But Red fin
ished with bad arm after the last
World Series and he never has been
the old Red since.
Don't overlook Gomez and Dickey--
another great battery pair-one of
the best of all time. Gomez also
came to a heavy cropper in the same
Red World Series with a bad side
and bad arm.
Here's the start of a big slump.

WESTBURY. N. Y, Sept. 10
The Great Neck polo team that
failed to capture the National Open
championship last week is going to
be awfully tough to beat for the
Monty Waterbury Handicap Cup in
Sundays final.
They proved that yesterday when.
with the score tied at Gall they
poured three goals through the up
rights in less than three minutes to
defeat Cecil Smiths Texas team,
9-6, in the first seminal match OF
the tournament.
The team that meets the Great
Neck outfit will be decided on Inter-
national Field today when Aknusti,
the national champion team that is
built around Ebby and Bobby Gerry,
rides against another team that has
a lot of in-laws on it-Gulf Stream.
The latter outfit is composed of
Mike and Ben Phipps and their

cousins, Winston Guest and Cocie
Rathoborne.
Yesterdays game, though slow
starting, turned into real thriller.
The Texans called on their 10-goal
ace. Cecil Smith. in the last period
and he tied the score with two bril-
liant shots-and then Great Necks
ace, Stew Iglehart. another l0-goal
man, and Peter Grace hit three
goals in less than three minutes in
the waning stages Of the game to
send the Texans down to a bitter
defeat.

Reds EosiIy Might Have Token
Series With 4th Come Win

In fact one of the smartest base
ball experts, I happen to know, still
believes that if the Reds had won
that fourth game in Cincinnati
which they had bottled up-they
might easily have won the series.
How? Because Ruffing and Gomez
and Pearson all had bad arms and
were useless the remainder of the
route.
Here was the triple battery-Ruf-
fling and Dickey-Gomez and Dick
ey-Pearson and Dickey-that large
" through wear and tear-the drift
of the years-lost good part OF its
effectiveness. From here the fire
began to spread to batting eyes. The
Yankees have shown their old-tlme
thunder with the war club, here
and there.
But all you need do is to look at
the batting averages, compared to
a year ago-Di Maggie, Keller, Cor
don, Dickey, Crosetti, Rolfe-from
IS to 80 points on the short side.
Gordon, however, now is coming
back with a rush.
Buddy Rosar and Heinrich and
Selkirk have held their own-or bet
ter. Rosar has turned in fine
assisting job.
But no team can have such men as
Dickey, Rufing, Gomez, Pearson,
Gordon, Keller and Crosetti take
such a dip and still keep winning.
Not against such teams as De-
troit and Cleveland, which have both
the pitching and the hitting. and
who now are removed from the old
Yankee shadow.
