Piay Baseball ; | BY: BILLY EVANS. If the New York Yankees win the | Am in League pennant much credit is ope to Joe Dugan. | The trhde that brought’ Dugan| jfrom the Boston Red Sox: to New York patched up the one weak spot in the Yankee machine, Frank Baker «can. hit’ ‘em, but aker’s Weak underpinning slowed up {his fielding and made him unfit. for regular duty. M’*e MeNally did a good job in the ficld, but left some- thing to be desired as to hitting. Yes third base was the weak spot in the’machine: The coming of Joe| Dugan supplied the much needed| | strengthening. Dug Up ey Mack. Dugan was dug up by Connie aMek at Holy Cross, The tall ieader of the Athletics developed him. Joe showed great natural ability. from inclined to be tempermental, Waen things didn't suit him, Joe often would grab a rattler for that dear old home town which, in his case, happens to~ bo! New: Haven, Conn. During the winter Mack gave up| trying to cure Joe's temperai and sold him to the Boston Red Then followed the deal — whicn | brought him to New York, just be- fore the. time limit expired on the sale or trading of players, It Wasn't: Inspiring. At Philadelphia there was little to inspire Joe, as’ playing with, a. tail- vender’ ‘offered~ no alluring” induce: ments. For a time the trade to Bos- ton seemed to be a big improvement over the drab surroundings’ in’ Phil- adelphia. ‘Then, just”to’ discourage Joe further, Boston insisted on’ hold- ing down last place instead of the Athletics, who have had a ‘mortgage on the position for seven years. The trade to New York has made 2 different ball player out of Dugan. Always ‘a great ball player he be- gan to show his real worth when placed in the’lineup of a club with a fine ‘chance to win the American League. pennant. Dugan wais ill in the spring, which made it impossible for him to go oa thei training trip. This, seriously handieapped his playing at the start of :the season, Last year Joe -batted .295, This vez, until he joined the Yankees, his average was aout 50. points be- low. last season’s’ mark. The day he..was “dropped mto the Yankee lineup he ‘started :to play brilliantly and to: hit’consistently. His fielding since he joined New York has been’ sensational. I know of atleast four games he has saved | becapse of some marvelous fielding} play. ‘At the bat he has been a time- ly hitter,’ Better by 50 Points, Some idea /of his improvement at bat. can’ be gathered from the fas. that ‘he:-has .boosted his. average about 50 points since becoming « Unquestionably _ Joe Dugan has supplied the «very punch that. the Yankees needed ty keep them up in the race. Dugan started: his career as a Yank in St. Louis. in’ the ‘first game played on the last western-trip. The Yankees won 11 sad lost only four ‘on that trip, one‘‘of.the best inya- sions a\New Yor’ american League club has ever_made’ in the west. clothes DUGAN, « FOOTBALLGETS UNDER WAY IN WESTERN AREA ; State University Will Tackle American Legion Team in First Contest Western football. takes a halting step. into the limelight with this week end. Practically no games are scheduled in which the name of ‘the winner cannot be written in advance andt he names af a large number of the larger college and.

The general impression of coaches in the last few years, has been ‘that defeat- | ing ‘a small, team, by a_ one-sided score does: a squad more harm than; good,‘and the weaker teams who used to furnish the doormat for the open- -ing-games are hot being scheduled.
