After we had ¢ won three in a row from the New York Yankees, the boys felt that at last they had proved to the world that Connie Mack | Bost has a real championship club this year.

Those three in a row were our answer. Really, counting the one we won in New York August 28, it was four in a row from the Yanks. Unless I am was the only time in late years that the A’s took over the Yanks four | i straight times, and it was the only clean sweep of a series we had |3 made in a long, long while. When the New York team vis- .ited Shibe Park last Monday morning to start the three-game series we held an 11%;-game lead over them. I'll grant you that with only twenty-odd games to plax that lead was mighty long, and we had no occasion to lose any sleep. However, there was something in our minds the fans didn’t know. That was the boast of the Yanks that we would *“fold up” under pressure when we were playing them. They started telling us that back in April and May. All in fun, you know. Ball players do a lot of “jockeying” on the field which doesn’t mean anything—that is, it is not as serious as it might sound to an outsider. ‘Well, Manager Huggins started George Pipgras against us in the Labor day morning game. He had shut us out with only three hits in New York a ‘week earlier, and he had whipped us four times this year. That was the time for us to ‘fold up,” and the Yanks didn't miss a chance to tell us how we would do it. But we got our attack in motion and knocked Pipgras off the hill in the third inning. After that it was just a breeze. ‘We did have some trouble in the second beating Herb Pennock, a smart itcher, and don't forget ft. accomplished it with a ninth-inning rally. Pipgras Again Victimised. On the following day Huggins sent Pipgras back for more. He got it. This time we clubbed him away from there in the first inning and coasted right along to our third win and a clean sweep of the series. ‘What made us so happy last Tuesday evening was that we had spent the afternoon giving the Yankees a dose of their own medicine. How they did “jockey” us last Septmeber when we rode into their stadium on a one-half game lead, hoping that we might im- prove it in a series of four games. But the Yanks beat us three out of the four then. They sure did rub it in! I'm not blaming them. It's base ball, and human nature, t0o, to crow over ;:hinemy you have defeated in a fair In & way I'm sorry that our lead was 80 long this year when the New York Club played its final series in Shibe Park.

With our full strength on the fleld we had the old fight and determination to come from behind and win. Give Cubs Cause to Think.
