Joe Gordon Provides Spark
For Yankees' Big Comeback
By Oayle Talbot
HEW YORK, July 13. (AP) nie present upswing of tha Mew York
Yankees, which has yielded 10 victories in their last 18 starts, with on
game tied, can be traced directly to the Inspired batting and fielding
of Rookie Joe Gordon at second baas.

COAST BATTING IEA0
LOS A NO ISLES, July 13. (P)
Smead Jolley. Oakland center fielder,
ret r In the lead In Coast league bat
ting, figures disclosed todsy, al
though Los Angeles pitchers last
week reduced hla average by 48
points,
Arnold Statu, Angel leftflelder,
gained 11 points and Jumped from
fifth to second place, while Brooks
Holder, Snn Francisco outfielder.
dropped nine points and slid from
second to third position.
BUI Llllard, Seals' shortstop, who
waa out of the lineup all lat week,
went from third to fourth place, and
Frrnchy Uhalt, Hollywood ernter
fleldcr, climbed from eighth to fifth
place by virtue of an e!iht-po!nt
gain.
Newark has supplied the spark. In hla
last 16 games Gordon has compiled
a .450 average, Including five liome
runt, four doubles and two triples.
Hla 33 hits In that period have
knocked across 20 runs. He la tied
today with Joe DiMagglo for the club
batting lead with a mark of .MS.
Slnoe he made his last error on
June 25, the boy who filled Tony Lan
aerl's shoes has fielded brilliantly,
handling 85 chances wlttiout a, bob
ble. Joe McCarthy, who was ft little
skeptical for a while, now suspects
Gordon will develop Into one of the
greatest second-basemen ever.
' Tha "flash" deserves e lot of credit
for his recent comeback. A month ago
the critics has about decided he was
the season's price bust. After an un
impressive start a slight Injury had
put him on the bench, and It didn't
look like he would get the splinters
out of his pants before autumn.
The Yankees were congratulating
themselves on having obtained Bill
Knickerbocker as "Gordon insurance"
at second base. Secretary Ed Bex
row aald he thought It was one of
the beat deals he ever made. Knick
erbocker was going good.
But on June 8 Manager McCarthy,
evidently figuring the Yanks could
not do much worse than they were
doing, put Joe back In the line-up
and told him to get going. Joe hes
itated only long enough to get mar
ried, and slnoe then he hasn't looked
back.
His big bat now la supplying the
punch lost when George Selkirk
flopped and Fattier Time began whip
ping curvea past Lou Gehrig. He's
breaking up a ball game about once
a week, and these victories supply
that little bit of "difference" the
Yankees needed. Oscar Vltt aaya his
Cleveland club would win the flag
easily with Gordon at second, and
he probably Is right.
Slnoe June 29 Joe has hit seven of
hla 10 homeruns. He clouted two at
Boston lsst Saturday and drove across
two runs with a triple on Sunday.
He meets tfie ball with tremendous
power.
