I J V m L. j t in Bill Dickey that the Yankees were going to get good to be pitching. That was supposed so many because our weakest spot of our men were troubled with bad arms. We would have been picked as one of the surest things of the year, rated well in front. "But suppose we had known that after six weeks of play our team batting would be around .240 with such fine hitters as Joe DiMaggio and most of the others hitting below .260. Then, we would have been hitpicked far down the list. Hard ting has been the Yankees' main factor in winning ball games, but as a team we haven't been hitting a half lick." "You don't think this hitting weakness will last?" we asked. "I certainly don't," Bill said. "No pitchers are going to keep such hard hitters as DiMaggio, Keller who has been our bestStirnweiss, Etten, Llndell, Henrich, Gordon and the others bottled up much longer. Those fellows can hit. They are naturals. I happen to know that Joe DiMaggio was banking on this season being his best year. I've never seen any one work harder, or try harder or train harder. His hitting fielding and his home-ru- n have been exceptional. I don't believe this slump in hitting can last. "We may have more trouble with our pitching, with so many really good pitchers bothered with bad arms or backs, but we are due to get much better hitting and we'll have to get it if we are to win again. We can't win the pennant the way we're going now."

CZ- - XJ W BOBBY SOX 'rfRTpTA We asked Manager Dickey what he thought of the Red Sox and the chance the Yankees and other American League clubs had of closing the gap. "I'll tell you exactly what I think of the Red Sox," Bill said. "I never like to underestimate an opponent. In my opinion, they have a first-clas- s manager in Joe Cronin, who failed in the past because the winning material wasn't there. Cronin Isn't going to lose any pennant for his club. Joe will do his share. "The Red Sox have the strongest team they ever have shown. They have a fine infield and a strong outfield. They have had the hitting and the pitching and I honestly think that so far they have the rest of us. "In Pesky and Doerr, the Red Sox have a great combination, both on offense and defense, resky today is a greatly improved ballplayer. He means a lot to that club. Cronin certainly has a much stronger pitching staff than anyone looked for last March Hughson, Harris, Ferriss and Dobson are about as good as any manager could ask for. "This doesn't mean," Dickey said with a grin, "that I am picking the Red Sox to win the pennant. I think we can catch them, but I know we can't wait too long. They are too good to be given any big lead, and I believe the Yankees are just beginning to realize this. They have been strong on both offense and defense and they've fine spirit. "What about the rest r,f th so far?" we asked. "You can't overlook Washington " he said. "This is a good, consistent club all along thesteady line You also will see Detroit get much better pitching than the Tigers have known thus far.
