The
SPoRTLIGHT
Gomez Big Factor
In Yunks' Comeback
By GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star.

One of the leading features of
the Yankee comeback, for those
who know his Sprightly or spritely
nature, is the return journey of
one Vernon Lefty Gomez, some
times known as the Great Goof.
Vernon Lefty c9me to the Yankees
from San Francisco II years ago
at the tender age of 20. For the
greater part of 10 years the thin
left-hander played one of the main
roles in the big Yankee act. For
just one matter of detail, he con-
tributed six World Series victories
without taking a rap.
But when spring came to Florida
this year and the Yankee camp
began warming up, there was more
than passing doubt that Lefty would
be hanging around much longer In
the losing campaign of 1910 the de-
pressed left-hander had turned in
only three winning games against
three defeats.
Most of his mates, including Joe
Mccarthy, felt badly about this
situation since Gomez is not only
extremely popular all around, but
also one of the .gayer notes in a
serious Yankee community. The one
fellow who refused to back away
from a rough fate. who refused also
to surrender his mirth, was Lefty
himself.
