With Bill Dickey, their slugging cntcher, on tho suspended list and Lofty Gomez pitching ragged ball for the first tlmo this year, tho Yanks find themselves shorn of two vital cogs.

Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) The Phillies and the Braves are the only two Natlonnl league clubs thnt havo not figured In the world series payoff since the war. It's about time, therefore, and no more than fair in these times, that a couple of clubs accustomed to be ing bounced around by more plu tocratic rivals be given a chance to ccme through. The odds may be 10 to 1 against either Boston or Philadelphia com ing through, but much stranger things have happened, in addition to which both have shown that they havo moro weapons than usual with which to carry on the summer war fare. The Braves had good pitching last year. They have better pitch ing now, with Bobby Brown and Huck Belts coming right out of a clear blue sky to turn in some sensa tional work. .The club hns a better infield and enough punch to take its share of the close ones.

IIOPK S( lt AMIH.KKS The Detroit Tigers and Pitts burgh Pirates have scrambled more big lengue dope, however, than any other outfits. Both were figured to finish in the second division but they have shown no inclination whatever to drop into the lower levels. Tho Tigers, as well as every other trail er in the American lengue, can Just about discern the bulky forma of the New York Yankees in the dls tnnco at the present time, but Bucky Hnrris has shown he can do a good reconstruction job. Before the season, Bucky wrote mc ho would be delighted if his club could make the first division this year and gratifying, amazed, or words to that effect, If his Tigers broko into the Eastern "Big Three" which has been, overlording the cir cuit. It looks now as though he has a good chance to do it. George Gibson's showing with tho Piratea is another tribute to ag greBslvo leadership. Baseball men always have considered the former backstop one of the most spirited leaders. He has demonstrated what Butter Cookies & Macaroons he can do by making an actual pen nant contender out of pretty much tho same outfit that dawdled In tho second division last year. .STARTING AT THE TOP In these time's it Is a swell break even for a Harvard man, to bound out ' of college right into the top flight of any business.
