Ameriean League race.

Indianapolis struck several snags in
the pennant race of the American
league last week. and Comiskey's white
stockings are coming from behind with
never a let-up. The race between these
two teams has been the distinctive fea-
ture during the week. The boosters had
a tremendous lead. acquired early in the
season, and nothing but the phenomenal
ball playing of the Comiskeyites has
made. the overhauling possible. The
white stockings have won fourteen out
of the fifteen games played, and the
largest number of shut-outs recorded in
the American league for one team has
been credited to Chicago.
Milwaukee for a short time disputed
the second position with Comiskey's
team, but the brewers fell by the way
side as soon as they Invaded the South
Side, and they are having some diff
Guilty in keeping out of the way of Min
neapolis and Cleveland. The millers
have been putting up pretty stiff ar
ticle of ball while on the home grounds,
and every team that has visited the
stronghold of the millers has had its
troubles.
Reports from Minneapolis indicate
that the Minnesota metropolis has done
relatively better in the matter of at
tendance at the games than any city
in the American league, barring Chi
cago.
Kansas City, with it's bunch of south
paw twirlers, is still in hard lines, and
Jimmy Manning is securing the coun-
try for material to strengthen his team
He has discovered that the departure
of Camel for Chicago made a big hole
IN his infeld, and this he has been I'M
able to stop up yet.
Cleveland has been buffeted around in
rather haphazard fashion during the
week, but persists in flirting with first
division teams. Cleveland's pitchers
have not been bad, but the team has
been a little off in its hitting.
Detroit has taken the bit in its teeth,
and the tigers seem bent on making
amends for past failures. Although the
team is looking from below the players
have put up snappy article of ball,
and Improvement may soon be a condi-
ton and not theory. Buffalo has been
much, tossed about, and the bisOns do
not show much stamina when in tight
places. Whether the fault is with the
management or the lack of ability to
play the game seems hard to decide.
