Ill looking over the American

Of the first 15 ganlcs played be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
the Athletics have won 10. a per-
centage of .667 against the leaders.
As a matter of fact in the first 76
games played. the Yankees lost only
:6 games. the Athletics turning in 10
wins. So while the A's were winning
10 out of 15 games from New
York. the rest of the league could
only win 16 out of 61.
New York has waxed fat against
the tail-end Red Sox f Boston
with 14 victories out of games.
incidentally. New York has been
very successful against Washington.
winning 10 out of 15 starts from last
.vcar's champs. While Washington
has obliged by taking 11 out of 18
games from Philadelphia.
The fact that the other contenders
have been cutting each other's
throat is another reason why the
Yankees are so far out. in front.
Not a single team has played con-
sistently good baseball.

In Acid Test.
The next five weeks are going to
be the acid test for the Yankees. If
the team can continue in front des-
pite many handicaps that have pre-
sented themselves. then it is going
to be hard to beat.
Bob Meusei has be e n sorel.v

a month. Incidentally. the general
condition of the club should improve
by that time since it is so badly
crippled at present. A
For the last month the lead of e
Yankees has fluctuated from 7 to 10
games. With the race half over that
seems like an invincible margin.
In cold figures it dopes out hard
to boat. but it is more than mathe-
matically possible. A contender that
can come along and knock off the
leader four straight would play
havoc with e 7 to iO-game lead.
Several years back the Pittsburgh
club started the month of September
with something like a seven-game
lead over the Giants. but was beaten
by )chraw‘s' club. largely through
the ability of the Giants to knock
oi! Pittsburgh.

No player can consider himself
even a good base runner unless he

To do this the runner must pcr-
feet the art of hitting the bag with
the left foot as he runds It. it Is
the natural thing to hit each Inn
with the right foot. but it increasrs
the distance to be covered.
In hitting each base with the left
foot. the runner so pivots on it tint
instead of turning with: he pmcII-
cally lines up with the next base.
When the player hits the

When a ball is hit to the alumni

in other words. he should note
the position of the infielder about
to handle the throw and then so
run that he will be on a perfect line
with the throw should the outfielder
make an accurate peg.
No exception can be taken to a
runner who so times his direction
and spccd that he lines up with tho
throw and thereby increases his
chances of reaching his objective in
safety.
There is always a chance that thc
ball will strike the runner and hr
deflected a considerable distance.
