AMERICAN LEAGUE CLUBS ARE VEXED See in Yankee Club Mepace for Several Years New York, July 29 (UP)—Rivals of the Nc¢w York Yankees in the American League are almost in des- pair over the comedy the former champions are making out cof the pennant race. It isn’t so much a matter of grave concern to them that the Yankees look like a cinch for the 1927 pen- nant but the owners of the other clubs, . peering over the age list on the roster, are wondering how they are going to be stopped next year. With the esception of Joe Dugan, who may not be able to play through the season next year at third base, it is comparatively a young ball club. Bob Meusel, Combs and Ruth are not infants, of course, but neither are they tottering Cobbs or Speakers. | Gehrig, Lazzeri and Koenig cer- | tainly are youngsters just approach- | ing the top of their game. With the exception of Benny Bengough, whose arm may respond to treat- ment during the winter, the catch- ing staff isn't a wow but it's not as that of the Giants. There will be the usual question this year about the Babe. There may be reasons to believe that Babe, secure with a contract that has two more years to run, may lead the | sasy life this winter but it s doubt- | ful. The Babe is taking himself and his baseball seriously and it is un- derstood that there was a good | clause in a seperate contract that | was signed in the spring when Col. | Jake Ruppert went on the nose for NOW YOU ’ ASK ONE Here's another new hot weather intelligence test.

There 1s thn very important ques- | tion about the pitchers, of course. The same guestion was pointed out this spring and will be repeated dur- | ing the winter as the staff will be one year older. But pitching isn't | such a vital factor with a club that can step out and score, six, vight, ten and fifteen runs. Banjo Ben- | nett, the mascot, might be able to | deliver with that bunch of slugging | sluggers bahind him. H It is certain that there will be | many changes during the winter but the Yankees will not be worried about deals unless some kind soul comes along cnd offers them one or two good pitchers. Miller Huggins has an inordinate love for good ! pitchers und many of them. Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, was the first magnate to anonunce a rebuilding program. He #aid he was going to tear his club to pleces and that only four play- ers would be retained. Perhaps he has some secret system but six other managers and owners in the league would like to fnow where he is going to find the naw team. He can’t buy one for two reasons —he hasn't enough money and it can’t be done with the money. Con- nie Mack, who is reported to lave spent almost a half million dollars last winter in the attempt to build a pennant winrer, can assure him of | that. Mack is almost sure to make some changes. The team failed this year and will fail again for the same reason next season. It is doubtful that Cobb will play next season and perhaps his absence will not be felt any too badly, although he has played some great ball in spots this season. Cobb is said to have told friends that he is playing this year just tg vindicate himself and that he was ready to retire last season when the Leonard charges were made against him. | thority to issue $49,036,700 of 7 per | provide | common stock held.

Highway builders have had to answer it with wider, sturdier thorough-fares. Motor engineers have tried to meet it by designing lighter, faster, more flexible cars. And now, a great oil company makes its contribution, Traffic Tydol—a new gasoline created specifically for congested driving. In the 5 essentials required of 2 present-day motor-fuel, it has proved, in impartial tests, superior to seven other gasolines. Already it has been adopted by the country’s leading motor transportation companies, which operate thousands of cars, taxis, buses and trucks in the world’s toughest traffic. And millions of motorists who have turned to Traffic Tydol endorse it as no other gasoline has ever been endorsed. Try this new gasolipe that has so quickly won transportation experts and the motor- ing public. Fill up today with Traffic Tydol at a black and orange Tydol pump. Then you'll drive away with a motor tuned up to face high- tension modern traffic. = Tide Water- Oil Sales Corporation, 990 Windsor Ave., Hartford, Conn. ‘The new TRAFFIC ough B. F.
