Cronln's Iona drive.

While there Is no Official record OF
the longest hit made In professional
game OF baseball, Jack Cronin, the
Providence pitcher, claims the distinc-
ton OF mplishing this feat. and his
contention is backed up by Manager
Stallings, OF the Indians, who saw him
do the trick Cronin made his mighty
swat in the city of Minneapolis In

BY PAUL Il. sRusks.

Unless some team succeeds IN
taking the Chicago White Sox down
the line for two or three games at
feast. there will be nothing further 20
hope for from the American league
race in the way OF a real strenuous
conflict. Chicago has been steadily
drawing away from the other Ameri-
can league clubs, in spite OF the gen
eial winning record Of her western
rivals. Only TO the fact that the Sox
started from a position far down the
ladder Is due the present situation
which still finds them within reaching
distance.
The Sox are now four games better
on than Cleveland. five ahead OF 81.
Louis and nine better than the Tigers,
counting both ways. They are now
playing the Boston club. which seldom
wins in Chicago, and 1t Is perfectly
reasonable to suppose that the Sox
will continue their run OF successes,
slightly interrupted perhaps, through
the week.
And then II will be up to the Tigers
IN those two postponed games which
will be pulled of here Monday ana
Tuesday.
IN FACT. THESE TWO GAMES
