Show new york post service dugan claims yanks are in third acay league t tie but picks 1928 club JOE OE DUGAN DUCATS jumping joe who now presides over a gotham hot spot with the same zeal he once devoted to 0 o the yankee stadium hot corner started this having returned from a sabbath visit to his old playgrounds having inspected the cash re reister register ister and having set up a few on it the he house he was talking g about the third major league greatest team around nowadays he was saying sure those tigers are good but what happens when the checks are down those yankees just romp home with the marbles dont they sure they do and continue doing it all season win all by themselves A timid customer edged a pound note upon the mahogany ile he obtained the same prompt service which it was mr dugans pleasure to provide ten years ago when the lower end of the batting order was up and a rally was needed in the ninth then mr dugan continued dessir Yes sir he said that third major league folks gossip about now and then where going to get opposition from is more than I 1 know mabbs I 1 offered another customer tossing a 10 bill down the middle they could choose up sides and play games among themselves joe mccarthy mr dugan took care of the bill and the suggestion with the same aplomb that used to distinguish him when the bases were were loaded yeah maybe he agreed or maybe they could take the pick of the league and let them play the yankees for a while that might help for a couple of weeks anyhow the reporter had dropped into the dugan emporium for some in inspiration concerning a piece that is done by all baseball scriveners scriv eners every year this epic piece always starts out with the information that it is baseball custom for the team that is leading in july to continue in the same spot up to world series time then if the scrivener is s uch such a ceaseless searcher after innovations as is your present correspondent he be tries to find some iconoclast who can be quoted as saying the dope is the bunk during the current campaign now although he had once known mr dugan as a very independent thinker the reporter knew that he had come to the wrong spot such views as those expressed about the yankees are merely those of a few million other discerning citizens and even it if he would have liked to know what is due to happen in that entertaining feud being staged by the giants cards cubs and pirates the reporter hesitated to intrude the name of a rival organization into the talk again then he had a happy thought by the way he asked you played on some pretty sweet yankee teams yourself what do yo you u think would happen if time could be arranged so that ruth memel and the rest of you ancients could be stacked up against this present outfit of yankee paragons well said mr dugan that would have been power against power and good defense against good defense the way I 1 figure it is that pitching such as 89 hoyt and pennock and those others used to give us would have enabled us to have an edge over this years yankees but joseph interrupted the depoi reporter t 1 I see a picture of the 1928 yankees in back of the bar there take a look at it yourself and quit stalling mr dugan looked fondly at the Meu sels ruths hofts younger and the rest why he be said then 1 I guess youre right these present yankees may be a whole league to themselves but we coulta licked lern em eay easy NOT IN THE BOX SCORE OTHE DAMES football it team e a m NOTRE probably will be better next nert fall than in 1936 more experience and weight and just as
