The attitude of the pennant con-
tenders in the three-cOrnered race in the
American League is almost as interest
ing as the chase for the streamer. Al
though no David and Jonathan feeling
exists between any two of the three,
none seems to look upon Chicago with
any more bitter feeling than friendly
rivalry.
