P. Sports Writer) NEW YORK, Aug. 7—There are in the or leagues who would be happy with a rating ason. One of the few who wouldn't is Philadelphia, whose endurar flight parallels that of the great Yankee machines of the last few years. Another is the Yankees Here is the paradox of a club, playing at a gait sufficient to win pennants in nine years out of 10. All that is threatened with a scorching shakeup at the end of the season. The reason is that the world's champions are running second and have only slight hopes of bettering that position. Weaknesses that handcuff other ball clubs don't go at the Yankee stadium where six American league flags have flown in the past eight years. It's a case of a winner or nothing, it seems. So Manager Huggins already has hinted of some of the changes to come. Such old stars as Meusel, Koenig, Hoyt, Grabowski, Bengough and Pennock probably will go, fol- lowing Joe Dugan, Pat Collins and Mike Gazella who left last winter. Even Earl Combs is not assured of his centerfield berth and leadoff position. about the Yankee “slump.” Judging from his comment last season, Colonel Jake Rupert's first lieutenant anticipated the change.
