Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH, UTAH Speaking of Sports Yesterdays Heroes I DIZZY DRAMAS Check Yanks? By Joe Bowers MASQUERADE WERE ALL GOING TO TWE MASQUERADE League Must Hold Playe rs ROBERT By Now Playing I McSHANE D ASEBALL experts, officials and I fans are almost unanimous in belief that something must be done about the New York Yankees before they eliminate all thought of competition in the American league. The Yanks won the 1936 American league pennant by 19 games. In 1937 they won by 13 games, and in 1938 by 9 games. The belief that their superiority was growing less pronounced a belief fostered by the diminishing margin of victory has proved untrue. In the American leagne circuit it is being said that the Yanks will be from 8 to 12 games ahead by July 4. This means they might as well call oil the rest of the race, that Joe McCarthys aggrega tion is too good for the rest of the teams in baseball. JJ I ttat oI an enthusiastic spectator. A ,ew w11 remain as coaches. How-the- ir ever those that do are exceptionally talented. Coaching no longer has tte appeal for graduates. Colleges ar looking . more and more each season to professional football and high schools for staff replacements. Most embryo coaches find their only openings in high school jobs, and prep assignments lack the inducement they hoped to find. Contrary to general belief, which holds that practically all good football players join professional ranks, the National Football league will provide playing jobs for approximately 250 graduates one out of every 24 college players meet major league football requirements. The great majority of these men will go to work in the more prosaic fields. In their ranks are lawyers, doctors, engineers in fact, any and all branches of business and the pro- fessions. The National Football league is to be congratulated that it does not that the Yankees hold out false hopes to men who should be broken up might expect to capitalize on talfor the good of base- ents cultivated during three years ball, you will agree that some steps of collegiate competition. must be taken to revive an interest The graduates deserve a hand for being intelligent enough to realize already flagging.

The last named is being hailed as one of the best infielders to enter the National league in years. Almost any club in the Yanks circuit would have been glad to get him. During the coming year officials of the league are certain to discuss methods of equalizing the strength of its teams. They cannot, of course, take forcible measures and distribute' the Yanks star performers among the weaker clubs. Nor is it likely the team will be voluntarily broken up by player sales. One course Is open to American league officials. They can do all in their power to urge the Yanks to keep all excess material in their home circuit. This would be in direct contrast to the Yanks present policy of selling players only to those teams which cant possibly threaten their supremacy. IM 'HOW ARE YOU GOING UNCLE TIGHTWAD?

It cant be blamed on the weather. At least not altogether. Fans have grown tired of seeing the Yankees win with such little effort. AND I is still saving ball games for Louis Comiskey. He is Clint Brown, one of the most spectacular rescue artists of the diamond. Brown left Cleveland for Chicago in the winter of 1936. He was largefinly responsible for the third-plac- e ish of the White Sox in 1936 and 1937. In the first season he figured in 38 games for the Sox, winning six, losing two and working 83 innings. In 1937 he was in a total of 53 games, working 100 innings, winning seven and losing seven. The trouble shooter was canceled out last season following an operation for a chipped bone. That wasnt, of course, the only reason the Sox finished in the second division, but it was a contributing factor that cannot be overlooked. The loss of Monte Stratton, ace starting pitcher, was a severe blow to the Sox this year. Their hopes were pinned on Stratton, whose ca- reer wag cut short when he lost a leg in a hunting accident. But gtm plenty bad medi cine and one of the big reasons is Clint Brown, unparalleled trouble shooter. Hes back in form again, and as dangerous as ever. - Brown has proved that sometimes a great finishing pitcher is just as valuable as a great starting pitcher. EHiarziKtg fliamaa oraa ANY Q?03B ona0?
