DKAW 3, FRANCIS s7AAA


OF ALL PEOPLE the Senators viii be in the spotlight
for the next week. so, too will the White Sox Indians
washngtons in company their heads but never
thee they win be charged by the White Sox and Indians
with putting up All they do play seven games with
the Yankees
If the world champions ever are going take charge of
American League race they expected to do the
time Starting today in New York they will play the
lowy Senators four times in Then next Wednesday
and Thursday, three more times
paper, not the field it is snap for the Yankees
. chance to really gain ground For while they
supposedly wiz be tromping the doormats Chicago has
fourgame series coming with Cleveland and few days
later another hreegame SERIES They could be killing them
selves on while the Yankees make hay.
IT IS TRUE THAT OVER a season all teams must play
at least games and meet each other % times But this
important psychological point for the Yankees For
they down They not hitting even in night clubs
nominal Of the pitching sta is not going too good
Casey Sengel has been gumbling in his unique style
He is dispeased with the Copacabana se-Hank Bauer
Johnny Kucks Mickey Mantle Ford and Yogi Berra-even
Billy Martin.
There has been talk that Martin so-caed spark
plug might be traded perhaps to Washington Only Mickey
Mantle has been hitting for Senge and 1855 Triple Crown
winnerhittine homers and batted insnt leading
in single department to date.
FOR MANY BALL FANS these against professional
rootes for the Yankees and Dodgers not to mention the
Braves it is ondly hoped that the White Sox and Reds
make to the World Series This would be the first time
since 1919 that these two teams have met formally but

If Mantles muscular proves is exciting and the clutch
hitting Of Berra and Bauer something to anticipate
Chcagos and unexpected pitching be regarded
with respect The White Sox making like Bold
Ruler in the Preaknes The Sox pitchers far have been
standing up under pressure
They could wn the White Sox because Manager Lopez
has been coming his athletes pretty good Perhaps took
his from Birdie Tebbetts the Reds also trained

nightly dissertations why his young could beat
the Braves and Dodgers Down the street maybe three
long blocks Lopez did likewise at the Tampa Terrace Hotel
They say don't have pitching" Tebbetts would COM
plain Il say we do. Everybody says we're muscles
Kluszewski Bell, Post and Bailey but say we've got
pitching too And don't forget the defense
shortstop and second base"
Lopez spoke Of his White Sox speed "the greatest"
