Athletics Think Yanks Supremacy No Gone Forever
New York April 25 UP after pursuing the New York Yankees for three seasons the Philadelphia Athletics appear close to turning the tables on the world champions.

Earnshaw Grove and Walberg pace a strong pitching staff as Cochrane handles the mound corps. Mack vows the Yankee jinx is broken and the A’s aim to ride the champs all season while the Yankees struggle with wild pitching and sputtering hitting.
