BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, May 13. tUP)-Be-
ing country boy who was brought
up to believe that it was neighborly
to call on sick friends, l paid a
visit yesterday to the New York
Yankees in their dugout, Just before
their game with the Boston Red Sox.
The Yankees had lost eight
straight games, which meant they
really were sick folk. I felt almost
ashamed, when I sat down among
them on the bench, and realized I
had come empty-handed without
even SO much as little jar of
calves-foot jelly or some chicken
broth.
There they sat, all in a row, from
water cooler to water cooler, the
world champion Yankees who once
had only to throw their gloves on
the field to conquer an enemy. With
a team batting average that would
shame a twilight league club they
were the Bronx Cap Pistols, not the
Bronx Bombers.
"Glad to see va greeted Lefty
Gomez when l walked in. Pull up
a chair. Stay around a while. The
chances are that you'll get to pinch
hit before the afternoon is over.
Our hitters are SO bad they're think
ing of calling on me in the clutch"
I'VE haven't dropped that low,
Gomez" cracked Bump Hadley.
whats that about hitting?" asked
Joe Gordon, Whats hit, anyway?
I've forgotten what the word means.
You know when my baby is born
in August what l plan to give him
for a present. AT least, what I'd like
to give him. Well. I'll tell you-a
scratch single through the infield.'
Bill Dickey suggested that I ask
Mccarthy about the "longhaired
fellow" who came in to see him in
the dressing room before the team
came out on the field.
He was a psychologist or some
thing" Dickey said.
His name was Applebaum or
Applebeam or pretty close to that"
the Yankee manager volunteered.
"He's a real psychologist, all right.

and I agreed with him, except I
