The race which the WHITE S0X ana
Philadelphia clubs are putting up for
the pennant of the American League
is attracting the attention of the en-
tire base ball world. No such d strug-
gle has been witnessed in one of the
close of the season is little more than
week distant the winner cannot at
this time be picked except by guess. A
little less than half dozen points sep
arates the Chicago club from the lead
ers, and this margin has been made so
close by the game squirt the White
Sox have taken within the last ten
days. With RUDE Waddell out of the
game for the rest of the season Phil
adelphia is handicapped by the loss Of
this most excellent, altho erratic pit
cher. But it still has bunch of good
twirlers left, such as young Plank, who
beat the White Sox the other day In
the first game of the closing series.
Out in the west Chicago is all the fav-
orite. and in recent days not a little
money has been wagered that Chicago
would win.
Hot weatIer-an August sky and the
heat of July-has made football prac-
tice red hot sport of the first water
during the past week. Not only has 1t
made the players warm, but it has in
terfered seriously with hard practice.
During such weather it has been i'm
possible to condition teams, and green
players, and the result has been I'M
satisfactory practice in team work.
From all over the state complaint is
being made by coaches that the last
week has been unproductive of much
and the practice has
been slow, without snap or ginger.
