Oh Oh Kirksey Has Yanks Placing Second
I J YORK UP No ball club ever won five straight major league pennants and the Yankees will fail in their quest of the fifth in a row this year A combination of circumstances working against the Yankees from inside and outside will topple the Bronx Bombers from their throne. Their conquerors will be the Boston Red Sox. The lad who will ignite the Red Sox's pennant flame is Ted Williams, whose batting feats this season will surpass anything ever accomplished by a 21 year old sophomore. So deadly will be Williams' long range hitting that American league aces frequently will walk lanky Ted to pitch to Jimmy Foxx, American league batting champion in 1938 and runnerup last season with a 360 mark. Nobody around believes Foxx is any pinch up there at the dish, but they will fear him less than Williams. Thus, Williams and Foxx will give the Red Sox the greatest one two punch in baseball.
