Hold onto your hats. boys! The
major league pennant races are
going to wind up in two triple ties
for first place.
At least that's the conclusion
one draws after comment from
Casey Stengel, Burt Shotton. Joe
Mccarthy, Connie Mack and other
optimistic pilots.
The latest and most surprising
skipper to look into the future
through rose-colored glasses is
Joe Mccarthy. the usually reti-
cent leader of the Boston Red
Sox.
Although . weighted down in
fourth place, 812 games of the
pace at the halfway mark, Nc
Carthy insisted that his club from
herein is the team to beat" in
the American League race,
Wen be there or thereabouts
at the finish," he said. Every
thing has been breaking just right
for the Yankees.
But we're heading into the
part of the schedule where the
going gets tough-and things will
be a little different. I know my
team is ready to start moving
Then we'll see what happens"
The Red Sox really are moving
now. They've won seven in a row
and are only a game and a half
behind the third-place Philadel-
phia Athletics.
Stengel Takes Issue.
Casey Stengel, who has done
such an amazing job with the
front-running New York Yankees,
does not share McCarthy's opinion.
II had been inclined to think
that the Red Sox would provide us
with the toughest competition" "
Stengel said. II felt that way even
when they languished in the sec
ond division. But when we knocked
them off five times In row re-
Gently, that finished them. I
don't think they can recover"
A week ago Stengel picked the
Athletics as the only team that
could stop his Yankees. who cur
rently hold a 5l2-game bulge over
the second-pla Cleveland In
dians. At the time. the AS were
in second place. only AZ behind.
If we can beat the AS more
times than they beat us. we're in, u
Stengel said. If not, it probably
will be the AS"
Whereupon the Yankees knocked
off the Mackmen in a solo con-
test, and started them on theii
way to a f1ve-game losing streak
Connie Mack, Philadelphia's &c.
year -old manager, is not discour-
aged, however.
