Ever since the Yanks got going, with the pitchers doing their share and "murderers' row," headed by Babe Ruth, slugging all kinds of pitching to all points of the compass, Gothamltes have been indulging in sweet dreams. And not without reason. Miller Huggins outfit is blessed with a tremendous amount of rugged hitting and pitching ability. In Shaw key; Mogrldge, Qulnn Mays, Thormah len, Shore and Russell they have a staff of wlgglers who can or should hold their own with any in the league. But best of all is the Yankee bitting, than which there Is no better In either league.

The first Western road trip of the Clan Huggins will Iglve Yankee supporters a much better line on their favorites. In past years Yankee teams have been blown up on the road, or suffered injuries to players that broke up a winning batting order and gave the old Jinx an opportunity to get in his deadly work. If the Yanks can win a majority of their games on the first swing around the western half of the American League circuit and then come home to settle down for another long series on the Polo Grounds, where they hit like demons, they will sure be a thorn in the Bides of such teams as Cleveland, Chicago and Boston. Long before the season opened in fact, ever since Ruth became a member of the' team the Yanks were figured as sure pennant contenders. But they got away to a rather poor start and in the first two weeks of the race they did not begin to play up to their "paper strength." Today, however, the Yanks have apparently found themselves.

They have managed, to put up a pretty sweet fielding game despite the fact hat Manager Huggins has been forced to shift the line up a number of times. But Frank Baker isn't greatly missed and while Chick Few ster at his best would probably be playing second base in place of Del Pratt the Yanks are getting by In grand shape. Babe Ruth has "made" the team. The Big Bambino just simply loves to play baseball and he is putting everything he has into every game. True, he goes up there and swings for home runs when it might some times be considered better baseball to wait 'em out or.

play 'em down. But there's no argument that will stand against the performances of such a prollflo slugger, and there you are! Watch the Yanks reform now on" si the tip that is going the rounds. And it is a sensible tip, for although no one expects to see New York spread eagle the field in the homestretch toward Pennantvllle, there are plenty of folks who are willing to risk the family plate on New' York's chances of getting Into the 1920 world's series through the medium of Clan Huggins.
