BY GAYLE TALBOT, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. 8 if it wasn’t bad enough to A lose three of his best outfielders, including Babe Ruth, within a week’s time, something even worse has arisen to make Joe McCarthy prema- turely gray. His New York Yankees “have taken to lapsing mentally in the pinches, and to say that McCarthy is perturbed is putting it lightly. As the outright result of two rarely unintelligent gestures over the week end, the Yankees lost the same number of ball games and dropped out.of first place in the American League, & posi- tion they had held without a break since opening day.
