MacKenzie is acquiring the seasoning needed to make him a great plaver. George Von Elm, the 1926 cham plon, takes fifth place in the ratings.

Whaley has made a scientific study of the drainage of the greens. In the process of drainage the bank at the north of the eighth green has been cut away so that it will no longer be possible to hounce off the bank onto the green as in other day Between the bank and the green now rises a hump which will prevent a ball from running down on the green if played too far to the right.

EW YORK, October 25.—Connie Mack looked up intently at the stars in the cool October | sky, shook his head sadly and remarked: “Yes, it will be some job to lick the Yankees in 1928— some job!" Six other managers of the American League are thinking the same thoughts as the veterin leader of the Philadel- phia Athletics. They know at this moment that the issue of the cam- paign in the American League in 1928 will be seven clubs against one, the rest of the league against the Yanks. The Amercan League fears that this team of excellent ball players under the mental leadership of Miller Huggins not only will win the pen- nant in 1928 for the third year in ‘uccession, hut that it will win again 1 Tt these seven rivals of the ankees are really anxious to know the intentions of the New York play- ers, that is exactly what they are triving for. The Yankees would like 0 establish the fact that if the Giants n win four pennants in succession— & they id from 1921 to 1924—so, too. an the New York American League team. In fact, the Yankees are on the warpath to equal eyery record that has been made in the National League well as in the American. Of course_they will he sure to surpass some National League records, since {here are no home.run batters in the National like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Yanks Need Bolstering. 1t the Yankees suffer no physical ‘njuries and if additions are made to the team with the same degres of ue and judgment that has heen manifest under Huggins, this power- tul combination will as likely as not ke its third pennant in succession. fourth and maybe its fifth. It de- nends upon the endurance physically nd in pliying skill that the team wossessed n all its positions. Tts first of lack of endurance is at third ase, the next is in the pitching ‘staff, nd behind the bat there can be a ch-nze which would be helpful. very club in the American Teague is et to beat New York in 1928, but it they are to succeed there will have to be an increase of strength to cor- respond with the problem of the Yan- cees, There was a time when they were wont to sav in the American League, “Will the Yankees never win”?

By winning again in 1928, the Yan- kees will have twice won the Ameri can League pennant three vears in succession. They will be the only team in the league to have done that twice.

Huston became vig- | orous in opposition to Huggins, but | the manager’s success forced Huston |into the background. Eventually he | retired trom the club. The Chicago team under Pop Anson was the first to win a pennant in major league base ball for a period of three successive years, in 1880, 1381 nd 1882. The next team to do it was ton, under Frank Selee, in 1891, 1892 and 1893. Baltimore won three times in a row under Hanlon, in 1894, 1895 and 1896. Pittsburgh had three successive winning years in 1901, 1902 and 1903, Chicago came again in 1906, 1907 and 1908. Then the Giants took up laurels in 1911, 1912 and 1913, and later on the Giants set a new rec- ord for their league by winning four vears straight—1921, 1922, 1923 and 1924 It may be testified that the other club owners of the National League arieved and were sore in spirit be. canse the Giants won four times in succession The National League be- ame affected with dry rot in three or four cities because of the Giants® suc. cese. and the stagnation has not all | heen overcome even today.
