NEW YORK, May 17.—The fellow known as the key man of the Yankees stumbled off to a lousy start this season. After the firsi several weeks Bill Dickey is hit- ting far below .300. Is it just a slow getaway or is the big backstop beginning to run down? Baseball experts are agreed that Dickey is the -enter cog in the great Yankee machine that has dashed away with four World Championships. The New Yorkers had shown on previous occasions that they cculd skiddle along right well without Joe DiMaggio, re- garded by many as the greatest player in the game. And it's cou- ceded that they can get along without any one of the others. But can they outfoot the American League mob without Bill Dickey, or with a Dickey who is slipping?

Dickey hit .302 and drove in 105 markers. | .Clark Griffith, the sly fox of Washington who likes to needle | the Yanks, is one who names Dickey as the man to watch, If Bill has a bad year, says Griffith, the Yanks are done for. The rec- ords, though, show that Bill can slow down quite a bit, at bat and | afield, and still be as good as any | catcher in baseball. ! Dickey has hit over .300 during all but oné of his 11 years. That' 11935 season he hit .279 but came | back the next year to threaten for the batting championship with a figure of .362. A fellow who has a lifetime average of .320 is going to be a dangerous guy with a stick as long as he can tote one up io the plate. So keep on eye on Dickey.
