AMERICAN PENNANT LIKELY

ming Close Race for the
Coveted Honor.

With the season half over, Il seems
cinch that the American league pen.
nant will come westward.
Whether it will be flown to the
breezes in Chicago, Cleveland or De-
troit is still a disputed question, the
odds, however favorlng Cleveland and
Chicago. II ever there were three
evenly matched teams they are these
three. Cleveland and Chicago at the
time of this writing have met Is
times, the White Sox winning eight.
Cleveland and Detroit have met IA
times, each winning Sc zen. Chicago
and Detroit have clashed ~ times. De-
troit winning only three, so it can be
seen that If the Tigers lose by a small
margin they can blame the White Sox.
Most of the games lost by Detroit to
Chicago, however. have been by the
narrowest of margins, four OF them
being by one run.
Where Chicago has its strength Is
In the box, Walsh, White and Frank
Smith being almost invincible White

southpaw a puzzle, while the two
spit ball artists make 1t interesting

trol of the vapor float.
Another asset OF the Sox I'm win
ming games is that the champions,
while not hitting in the 300 class. are
well punched along the .25O mark
there being not one real poor stlcker
in the entire bunch outside of the
pitchers. Sullivan, Robe. Donohue
and Hahn, while batting fairly well
down, are liable TO make the pinch hit
at any stage of the game. II is diff.
ferent with Cleveland. The Maps have
three men way up, two about the
middle, and the remainder lowering
about the 200 mark. With the Tigers
Crawford, Cobb, Jones and Rossman

ting fairly well Then. too. Mullip.
Donovan, Killian, Siever anc Eubanks
are pitching good enough considering
the way the team is batting behind
them.
Cleveland has maintained its excel.
lent record by dint of good pitching,
speed on the bases and brilliant field.
Ing, Fllck's individual work at the
pat, and timely hitting on the part of
a iew OF the others The Maps are
iar IN advance in stolen bases, and
lead IN sacrifice hits as well. Then,
100 they have made nearly twice as
many double plays as any of the
other teams, And double plays count
more than little in close games.

by Springfield in trade and has made
wonderful record since, batting
around 1926 and fielding sensatlonally.
He is especially fast in handling bunts
and he is among the fastest In the
league in base running. Doyle was
recommended so highly by Dan
Brouthers. the veteran scout. that
New York decided to pay the fancy
price demanded by Springfield. Sew
eral other clubs were after him and It
was decided not to take chances of
losing him by waiting until the draft

years OF age and is from Breese, Ill.
he Is man of good habits and his
admirers are confident that he win
