needs only lo piny .fitii ball to
reach the century mark In vie

4 In order to break tho Amorlcan
' LeaKiie record of 1115 games, oHtab
' llshoil 15 years iiko by tho pen.
nanl'WlnnliiK Ilostou Ked Sox, New
York would liavo lo win only 112
Kanies while loplnc 22, coimlder
, nbly below tho curly season aver
age of thn chili.
There fs n remota chance that
' New York mhy top the major
leasuo record of 116 vlrlorles mado
hy (ho Chicago Cuba In 1006. The
Cubs that year made a runaway
race of It In Iho National League
. and wem top-heavy favorites to
' wlu (lie world championship, yet
were beaten by tho Chicago While
"Hox. hon known as the "Hltless
Wonders."
To break the major leaguo rec
- i '
ord for victories over tho 154 isanio
schedule It would bo necossary for
tho Yanks to win 43 of the ro-
ninliiliifr 54 Raines to be played.
Tlila would call for .800 baseball
which Is better than tho record of
the New York club to date.
Whllo thoro Is some doubt as
lo the ability of the Now York club
to win 110 Kiinies or more, I fool
that. Manager lliurglns will inako
Hood on hla limitation of 100 vic
tories for tho Yanks In tho win
nltiK of tho 11127 pennant:
Tho snccnHs of tho New York
club In comluK Hack this your,
after drnppliiK lo seventh place,
after winning three championships
In a row hi tho American LeaKiie,
Is a tribute to the mamiKorlal Judg
ment of the Yankee, pilot.
When the Yanks slipped to a
lowly position In the second di
vision. HiiKKlns decided that It
was time to rebuild and set about
to complete his tusk. Ills success
Is beat attested to by the Yankee
victory In l!i2tl and tho almost cer
tainty that ho will repeat this year.
The extraordinary showing the
New York Americana liavo made
this year Is all the more remark
able when It la considered the club
lias suffered any number of seri
ous injuries to Its star players.
The Yanks have refused to slump
regardless of the stars who liavo
been forced out of the lineup be
cause of Injuries.
There is no getting nway from
the fact that the New York
Yankees comprise a formidable
ball cluh. one of tho best In the
history of thn majors, and in Miller
Huggins us manager the cluh has
one of the smartest leaders In the
game. i
There has been but llllle or no
ballyhoo In connection with the
career of Miller Huggins, yet he
has delivered in a most pronounced
manner ns a big league rllnt.
