suit will be an upset. That, at least,
is the way it looks as 1910 gets under

The fact that the percentage will

no terriers for the Yanks. One Of

age is going to catch up with the
Yankees and fiatten them because
that is one foe nobody can outlast.
No club in the American league

to that number in 1889. No club

likely the Yankees-granted that
they would be victorious-would win
again in four straight. But they did.
With Red Ruling pitching, Bill
Dickey catching, Joe DiMaggio in
center field and fellows like Joe Cor
don, frankie Crosetti, Red Rolfe,
George Selkirk and Charlie Keller
spotted through the lineup, it looks
as though the Yankees can continue
for a while longer.
In an effort to hobble the Yanks,
the rest of the league made a
rule preventing them from trading
with the other clubs. The Yanks
didn't mind that, either. Just by
way of cooperating, Ed Barrow
voted for the rule. With Newark,
Kansas City and other clubs in the
