Just before the spring series with

12 games. the Yankees started their
winning ways by defeatingthe Cin-
cinnati Reds. Boston Braves and
Philadelphia Nationals.
Then Huggins and Company pro-
ceeded to win 13 straight games
from Brooklyn.
That made 15 straight wins from
four National League clubs. The
Yanks had apparently decided to be
a mighty good ball club.

Most of the games were one-sided

WINNING STREAKS
Even the surprising spring show-
ing of the Yankees created no great
fear in American League circles.
However. it has come since the open-
ing of the season.
In the first few weeks of play the
club went out and won eight straight.
Then. after being temporarily stop-
ped by three defeats at the hands
of the Athletics and one by Wash-
ington. the Yanks started on their
winningrways again,
