ATHLETICS NEARLY AS
EFFECTIVE AS YANKS
Ity HENRY h. FARRELL
NKA Borvlre K porta W riter
Almost everyone admits the
class of the New York Yankees,
but when they are referred to as
the greatest ball team of all time
some dissenting voices can be
heard.
Wilbert Robinson, manager of
the Brooklyn Robins, rates the
Yankees as- the greatest team
that erer played baseball. John
MrCraw, manager of the Otants.
says they are not the greatest
because of mental deficiencies.
In those two differing opinions
you have represented what should
be pair of the smartest base
ball brains In the country. ob
Inson and McOraw were fellow
stars on the old Baltimore Ori
oles, a team that to this day Is
it 1 1 1 upheld as a model of base
all perfection. They hare been
n baseball all tbelr Uvea and
'lave been highly successful man
ners. !!
If these two experts can't
(tree, the problem Is far beyond
:he lay mind.
It must be admitted that the
"'ankeea had only the paper
trength . to- prove their great
tower last year. They didn't bare
:he opposition to give them the
eal test. Yes, they won the
ennant by margin of 20 games,
tut they won 20 ball games from
.ha St. Louis Browns.
A Ctuuica to Prove It.
We are not trying to get out
"rom nnder the p re-season p re
action that the Yankees will win
he . American League pennant
.his season, but it is becoming
obvious that If the Yankees beat
nt the Philadelphia Athletics In
the pennant chase they will be
iretty close to the champion of
champions class.
' Man for' Man, through the first
sprint away from the starting
line, the Athletics look just as
powerful as the champion Yan
kees. They -are- hitting almost
Tlow for - blow with the New
York assassins. Their pitching is
vastly superior. Their infield Is
Just as strong defensively as the
Yankees, and perhaps stronger
and It is a heavier hitting com
bination as -a unit . than - the'
Yanks. The outfield of New York
has the edge with Ruth and
younger limbs. .
It is hard to get a start In re
citing the power of the ball
club that Connie Mack has as
sembled In a final stroke of des
peration to get flack where he
once reigned as the lord of baseball.-
Greatest Catchers In History.
The catching staff Is a tip-off
on tha power of the team. No
team In the history of baseball
has ever had three catchers to
compare with Mickey Cochrane,
Cy Perkins and Jimmy Forx.
They are three start first string
catchers. Any one of those three I
could handle a regular catching
Job to the delight of any man
ager In baseball and the abun
dance of talent represented In the
trio forces Mack to place daily
on the bench near him two of the
greatest catchers In the game.
Joe Hanser, Max Bishop, Joe
Boley and Eammy, Hale are being
welded into one of the greatest
Infields of all times, a defensive
combination that Is making pitch- i
lng almost a secondary factor In
game after, game. If Mclnnls,
Collins, Barry and Baker were a

four are worth a million easy In
this day. And sitting on the
bench is Jimmy Dykes, a first

Speaker and Miller may fold up
when the strain of mid-season
and past gets working on their
dogs, but it weak defensive work
nullifies too much their powerful
hitting it would be just too bad
if Mack had to stick Al Simmons.
Walter French or young George
Haas in there. -
Simmons la perhaps the great
est outfielder In baseball and he
has becu disabled all season.
"When he gets ready for service
Mack will- have to pull out one of
the three- veterans and there
will be another star ball player,
good enough for a regular job on
any club, sitting on the bench.
Also as a first-class reserve out
fielder there Is t 20-year-old boy
who ought to become one of the
sensations of baseball, young
Jimmy Foxx.-woo can dot a very
fine job of outflelding in addition
to catching and playing first
base. '
Good Throwers, Too.
Pitching, as has been demon
strated by the Yankees, isn't such
a vital factor with a ball wreck
ing club pounding in the runs.
But there necessarily must be a
few around who do not throw
singles and home runs with every
toss. .
Mr. Mack has a few of them in
hat . grand old veteran. John
Picas Quinn. Lefty Grove, Rube
Walberr, Ed ommel and young
Ossie Orwoll and In connection
with Master Orwoll ft night be
mentioned that ha also is an

Italy's surprising victory over
Australia In the Davis Cup cum
ulations makes the Itullans the
favorite to win the European
xone finals and meet the win
ners in the Amerlcsn xone for

It begins to appear that either
Italy or the Tutted States will
play Franco, although the Ital

the United States must dispose
of the Japanese to get Into the
final round.
