What Makes inc Yankees Click! YOU CAN'T POINT TO ANY ONE THING
 A5L0NE REASON FOR TANKS SUCCESS

This is the first of three stories. by Dillon Graham, AP Feature Service sports editor, explaining the factors behind the New York Yankees phe- nomental baseball successes.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-08-14
By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service

NEW YORK-The Yankees. gall loping far ahead of the field and still full of run, are on their way to their fifth American League pen nant in six years, perhaps their fifth world championship.
 Their unp d e ted success brings up the question: What makes the Yankees click?" There are so many factors in- volved that it is impossible to, place your finger on any one thing and say that's the reason.
 It is the result of careful scout ing, of close attention to every detail of a rockies training, of competent minor league managers, of good, compact farm system, of fine manager in Joe Mccarthy, of excellent varsity club players. All these cogs turn the wheels that make the Yankees go.
 
 the richest in baseball, by far. the Yankees have no wealthy Walter Briggs (Tigers), Philip
 Wrigley (Cubs) or Tom Yaw- key (Red SOx) behind them. In the open market they can't Outbid these other clubs. And over stretch of years the Yankees won't draw home crowds equal to those pulled by some other clubs. The club isn't the best money-maker in the majors.
 Joe Mccarthy is a great man. ager, a good handler of pitchers. He knows how to keep the morale of the players high and he knows how to bring brilliant young pros poets along without pushing them too fast, as he demonstrated with Joe Gordon and this year with Phil Rizzuto. But is he the big difference? Other clubs have ca pablo pilots, too, and you'd prob ably get an argument by crediting Mccarthy with the Yankees mar gin.
 What is it the Yankees have
 that other clubs don't? Other
 clubs have more money. older
 and larger farm systems, good
 managers and star players who
 compare favorably with the
 New Workers. But they're not
 winning a flock of pennants. One baseball man suggested the Yankees might pay more atten- ton to small details than other clubs. That is, they might concen- trate more on ironing out any of the little defects in performers playing ability. Perhaps their play CTS are nearer major league cali bre when they reach the big show than those of other clubs. Another baseball expert puts 1t this way: Their success traces back to their scouts The Yankees have a large
 scouting system with eagle
 eyed bush-beaters in every sec
 ton of the country. They watch
 college clubs, sand lot teams
 and independent squads as
 well as minor league outfits.
 Among the better known Yam kee scouts are Paul Krichell, who covers the East with Gene Mc- Cam and John Paddock; John
