Yankees Still Expect
To Capture Pennont
By GRANTLAND RICE,

NEW YORK, July % (N.AN,A).
The Hon. James Farley might
be interested to know that the
Yankees still expect to win the
pennant through late August
and September drive. They also
figure Cleveland's Indians will be
the team to beat.
Il can speak for the club" one
of the Yankee stars told me, "in
saying we expect to win again by
three or four games. If we can
stick around this close with 50
many of our better hitters below
.25o, or even 240, you can figure
what should happen when some
of these men reach their normal
pace.
I'VE have been getting pretty
good pitching, and we'll get better
pitching from now on. We still
are the best defensive club in the
game. And we are about due to
collect a few more base hits"
why Cleveland as the main op-
ponent?" I asked.
Because Cleveland has stronger
pitching than either Detroit or
Boston, with Buck Newsom hurt,
and because Cleveland has a better
inf1eld-especially around the mid
die of the diamond. This is where
1t counts. Gehringer still is a great
ball player, but Gehringer has lost
a lot of infield speed-about two
yards each way
The Red Sox still are shy on
pitching. They have had to ham
mer out a majority of their wins.
They are tough club on other
pitchers, I'll admit, but their own
staff let's them down. The Red
Sox still are up there. But the
tough part of the race still is on
ahead, through August and Sep
tember. That's where team balance
will count"

Loss Of First Six Extro- Inninq
Games Crimped Champs

What happened in the first half
of the race?" I asked Yankee vet
eran as we absorbed a flare of heat
in the dugout. You were about
is games ahead around the mid
die of July year ago. This means
a drop Of 20 games, which is no
short dive"
"Ill tell you," he said. Most
ball games, at least many ball
games, are won by close scores.
We lost too many of these that
we used to win. Maybe four pen
-hants and four World Series in
row had something to do with
1t. We didn't have our old spring
zip. Later on some of our best
hitters began to worry too much.
They began trying too hard. When
you are not hitting you are bound
to worry and then to tighten up.
1--WE lost our first six extra in
ming games. We've felt we should
have been much further away than
we are. None Of the leading clubs
could open up any big gap, as we
used to do. They have been killing
one another of.
Also teams like Washington and
Connie Mack's Athletics have been
using the harpoon freely on the
pacemakers. This has been a big
help to us.
1T Is largely a matter of getting
started again-of collecting a few
more base hits"
