What Makes the Yankees Click! \When You Count Up Yankee Assels Don't Forget Their Barng-up quer This is the last of a series on the fa-.ors behind the Yankees' base- ball triumphs. By DILLON GRAHAM gports Editor, AP Feature. Service NEW YORK-—The Yankees win pnants because they have ad- \te pitching and fielding and the est punch in baseball team with a two or three run itage in the ninth inming can d to feel too optimistic, for the s are dangerous untii the last putcut. Any man in the line-up can p'nde a triple or homer. Other teams boast a higrer squad latting average but the Yrnks are far out in front in homr.s, runs- batten-in, and total bases. Where cther teams may get their scores in ones or twos the Yanks cften get theirs in clusters of three (1 four. Che Yanks are leading both leagucs in homers and 1uns- batted-in with Joec DiMaggio 2nd Charlie Keller settiuz the individual pace. . They have players who can spark the club, as DiMaggio did with his rec- ord-breaking 56-game ronsec- utive contest hitting streak. New York doesn't possess a single great pitcher this year but it has a large squad of good pitchers with the veteran Red Ruffing first with a dozen victories. Manager Joe Mc- Carthy has used nine starting pitch>rs and in a recent 9-game ctretch McCarthy used eight ‘differ- ent starters and won ‘eight games. He has a crack pair of left-handers in Marius Russo and Vernon Go- mez. It’'s a good defensive ciub. Joe Gordon is regarded by wmany as baseball’s best second baseman and DiMaggio as the No. 1 ou' fielder. Bill Dickey still is tops as a catcher. Phil Rizzuto and Gordon are threatening the league double-play record. Ed Barrow, the head mui, cred- 1ts McCarthy with the club's success. “He tcok a diverse group of players and moulded it into a winning unit. He made a winning pitching staff out of mediocre hurlers,” he says. The Yankees, too, lLave a habit of coming up with at least one star rookie every year, There was DiMaggio in 1936, Gerdon in 1938, Keller . and Atley Donald in 1939, Ernie Bonham in 1940 and Rizzuto in 1941 { Some teams crumble. under pres- fure but the Yanks don’t. They Iave the poise. confidence and ag- gressiveness of champions.

So: You can't tab a single factor and say that's what maxkes the Yankee's click.

HURLER | TAKES SIXTH BOXVICTORY Cronin May Profest Game Because Field Was Not Covered in Rain (By Associated Press) Alejandrow Carrasquel, towering Venezuelan, who until a few weeks ago was not entrusted with a start- ing pitching assignment, won his sixth vietory this year yesterday for the Washington Senators by turning back the Boston Red Sox. The game was called in the eighth after a 40- minute delay due to rain. Manager Joe Cronin said he would protest the game because the playing field was not covered during the rain. The Chicago White Sox climbed within a half-game of third place yesterday by defeating the Cleve- land Indians for their 12th victory in 15 games. Rookie Bob Muncrief checked the Detroit Tigers to six hits yesterday while - the St. Louis Browns made the same number of blows which was good enough for a victory. The win was largely due to outfielder Joe Grace's homer with two on base. The contest between Philadelphia and New York was rained out. - ———— Bubscrive’ to the Dany Alaskq Empire—the paper with the larges oald ecirculation.
