ATHLETICS GREAT WORK.
Ten Victories, Two Defeats and a Tie
Their Record on Trip.

The American League pennant race has
become still more complicated as to its
possible finish by the sensational work Of
the Philadelphia Athletics during the past
ten days. and 1t would appear as II there
will be another team to taste the sweets Of
leadership within a very few days II the
present pace can be kept up. From a
merely contending position ten days ago.
the Athletics have sprung into place
where they seriously threaten the three
leading teams in the league-Chicago, Bos-
ton and New York-and it may be posi-
bic that Connie Mack may duplicate his
sensational finish of 1902, when his team
won the pennant after trailing nearly two
thirds of the season. It was Just two
years ago last Tuesday that the Athletics
took the lead, and continuance of their
present play will place them very near
the top before the present season Is
week older. 1t is not impossible for the
quaker city aggregation to come on and
upset all figures in the struggle, and.
judged by their work on the western trip,
the team must be considered the dark
horse in the race.
They have played phenomenally fast ball
on this trip-faster than any other team in
the race-and show no signs of a let-up.
Starting In at st. Louis they won all three
of the games played there. Their next
opponents were the strong Chicago White
Sox. and three victories out of four games
was the result Of the clash. Two
victories and a tie was the result Of
the Detroit series. From place over
sixty points behind the leaders at the be-
ginning OF the western trip. the Athletics
are now less than thirty points away from
first place. and are playing in manner
that indicates a further reduction of the
figures. The performance is all the more
significant because the games were played
away from home OF undoubted ability as
finishers. the Athletics are far from being
out OF the pennant race. and their squirt
in the homestretch Is adding another Gle
ment OF interest to the most fnteresGin
race ever seen in base ball since 1t became
the national game.
