i BILL CORUM Says I Yanks Look Safe Dream Team Picked Young Top Pitcher Rube Waddell, Too fly International News Service) NEW YORK, Aug. 11. utside the painters were unting. Inside Cousin Ed lirrow was painting. It was quiet day in the oifices of New York Yankees.

The fam was in I'niiadeipnia fid llio games ahead, hich is practically the same being 11 games ahead. Iven though it was Friday lie thirteenth, George Perry asn't taking the trouble to orry by proxy for Col. Rup- lert. I That's how safe things looked for a Yankees. llV a half-hour only one party had Ihfoned for a pair If "chinRees, 01 sj 'm lasses, to some lit ure game in sms Yankee sta- lium.

It certain- was quiet. Onej If those times it nru il easy UJ157f- to remi -h liscing. The shinrj loy nodded over farrow's big bro- lans. "Cousin Ed," I laid, "name your Iream team." "Ball players?" LTER JOHNSON le said. "Your name's not Ziegfeld," I lointed out, "ball players." "Of all the ones I've known from ay back yonder to now?" "That's the ticket," I said.

"Pitch- Irs first. The four top hands of bm all." "Cy Young was about the best pitcher I ever saw." "Slap," went the shine boy's rag. "That was back there, you I know, when life was different. Baseball, too. Cy used to warm up witri a couple or smau nips of bourbon for his stomach's sake land then stroll out there in those little tight-fitting pants of his.

Yes, he could pitch. Waddell Picked I'd have to take Waddell for my left-hander. He might have been cuckoo chasing a fire wagon, but not with a baseball in his hand. Just as crazy as a fox, iftube was, riding that ridge. He fpDuld pitch." "Slap," went the shine boy's rag.

"Now Matty Well, Matty was Ismart. He used to pitch like he played and he took those suckers playing checkers like Grant took Richmond. Not for fun, either. Oh, no, Matty never did anything for fun. "He was a sort of cold lcilow on and off, but on, he was so cold that he'd freeze your heart when you were trying to beat him.

"You could maKe runs on Matty. I've seen lots of pitchers with more stuff. But he didn't beat easy With all the checks down, maybe he was a little bit the best. What with that cool, cunning streak in him and his winning ways. Anyhow, he could pitch." "Slap," went the shine boy's rag.

I Entire Team "Walter Johnson, of course. It's mighty hard for me to leave off a great pitcher like Bill Donovan and a fellow I managed once named Mullen, you never heard much about. And Bill Dinneen. That's the fellow that's umpiring in our league now. Don't ever think he wasn't a great pitcher all the way along the line.

"Still, you can't go back of Walter. He was good so long and most of the time he was out there practically by himself as the whole Washington 'nine'. I used to think about him as the loncsomest man In the world, i- "With old Cy's stomach after those two small applications as an aid to digestion, and Matty's brain, and Waddell's curve, and Johnson's speed "Well, if you threw those four fellows at a team in a cluster the way some of our present-day pitchers work, the opposing batters would be looking at practically all the pitchers in the world.

For the third nine he put together a 38. TRUE TO FORM In winning McCormick ran true to form so far as his competitive rivalry with Erickson is concerned. It made the fifth time he has defeated Erickson in the hole battles known as the match play.

In medal play, where one bad hole may be disastrous in the final count, Erickson usually has triumphed over his friendly rival. Outside of tournament competition, the two are great friends. They made the trip here together and shared the same quarters during the week. While their golf in the final round was in the weaker sort, each contributed a gallery-thriller during the day. On the seventeenth hole, Erickson jumped an eight-foot stymie for a par 3 half, while on the twenty-sixth green, McCormick lofted his ball over Erickson's into the cup for a par 3 and the win.
