TUESDAY. MAY 23. 1939 i Vanks Will Regret One-Sided Races, Forecasts Dropping Off in Patronage Because of Policies By GAYLE TALBOT YORK, May 23 All Oscar lt let tho go ahead and make -gaps of seven other American clubs. Let them continue their policy ruining the race Lore It is well linder way. They H1 live to regret It, Oscar, a nd thp National League will get the gravy.

The Manager of the Cleveland Indians Is a ll(tie-stearned-up over hc situation. He honestly thinks the champions are being shortsighted about their refusal to help a rival club. Futhermore, he dropped In on his old friend, president Ed Barrow of the Yan- to tell him so. "You ought to hear Ed rave when I tell him he'd better loosen up and give us a few trades," said Oscar. "What he says wouldn't bear repealing.

And I didn't say a word about breaking up the Yankees. AH I suggested was that they give the other teams a whack at all this talent they've got on ice and don't even need. "The Yankees aren't a big draw my more. What the customers want is a race like they get in the National League. But just go over and try to tell Barrow that." Oscar was asked what it would take to slow down the Yankees- short of a charge of dynamite? 'That's easy," he said cheerfully.

"Let Bill Dickey come down with about six charley-horses, and let me have Frank Crpsetti and Joe Gordon on my side."
