AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Even at the present time,
with the better part of the season
completed, for We have had three
and one-half months of baseball,
the race in the American league
is so complicated that 1T is any
thing but an easy matter to at
tempt to analyze win any conf
dence it's possibilities.
If one picks Philadelphia to
win he is not without a firm
foundation for the stand which
he takes. If second lights upon
Boston he has ground for his
choice. Detroit cannot be over
looked. even though the champions
are some distance behind, and as
a dark horse New York has proved
to be an animal of perfect funereal
hue.
II Detroits were half a dozen
games better off than they are,
and were more successful against
Boston than they have proved to
be, l should have personal lean
ing toward the team, because 1t
has proved that it is good slayer
and good fighter in it's own
league. 1t seems to me that the

lFAN FODDER

At the time this is written I
have a fancy for the Athletics.
Their team work is good, and their
manager is manager of resource.
Their pitchers, for the moment be-
ing hit hard, did excellent work
earlier in the year. and it is posi-

that pitchers who are of the cali

letics' staff are intrinsically strong

they have had a bad spell.
II there is such thing as a dark
horse winning the championship
shall be counted upon to "go one"
for New York. If there arises an
opportunity by which the Athletics,
Detroit adm Boston kill the chances
Of each other, and the Highlanders
find an opening through which they
can slip, l believe that they are
smart enough to do so, and once
through they will be a hard team
to dislodge from their position, for
they have shown tenacity of pur-
pose all of the season which is in
their favor.
To large degree the success of
their team has been due to good
pitching and good batting. But
the batting Is not always to be
reckoned upon with reliability.
Were the outfield composed Of
men who were a little more power
full with the bat than they are, the
Highlanders might not have to wait
for the other teams to kill each
other off. but might fight their way
ahead of them.

National League.

AS the Chicago club is playing
today, it is the natural and logical
winner of the championship of the
National league. AS it was play
ing two months ago, New York
had an even chance, and Pittsburg
was not out of 1t.
Within those two months, in fact
within the last month, the work of
the Chicago team has improved so
much that today it is playing ball
with easy facility and the natural
intelligence which made it one of
the best ball organizations in the
history Of the national game.
In 1909 there were times, and
plenty of them, when the Chicago
playeSS did not put the same life
into tt efforts that they did in
1908. THEIR pitchers failed them
in crisis. Their outfield did not
always work to perfection, and &C.
casionally there were lapses on the
part of the infield, which has stood
the brunt of many battle.
In the beginning of this year the
team was broken and uneven, but
it Is so no longer. Today the same
machine like precision which has
moved many a base hit to the
ground, the same concerted effort,
and the same shrewd and clever
playing for runs which made it
one of, the best run getting organi-
cations in the world, are uniformly
in evidence.
The Cubs are as near to the form
which marked their work in 1907
and 1908 as they ever were, in
spite of the fact that there were
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-08-20

handicap against it Is a little too
strong, and for the first time in
four years it is doubtful whether
that fine combination which has
worked so successfully for Jen-
nings in the past, is going to be
able to pull together with enough
strength to finish at the top of
the column.
Had Detroit, even after q bad
start, not met with another re-
verse in June and July, the cham
pions would have been the most
dangerous contenders in the race.
Their second fall from playing
grace was so hard that If they do
succeed in winning the pennant
they will have made the gamest
uphill fight that has been made
by any club in the history of the
American league.
We're the pitching staff of the
Boston club better than it has
proved to be, l should have a
leaning toward Boston, because l
respect the team for it's manner
of play and it's grit. Last season
they snatched games out of the
fire which seemed to be against
them, and they have done the same
thing this year, yet when the op-
portunity offered which would have
put them in place where they
might have taken command of the
situation, the weakness of the
situation, the weakness of the
pitching staff seemed to come more
prominently in evidence than it
had an ytime during the year, and
if the same opportunity should
arise again, isn't it probable the
same result might follow?
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-08-20
National Mackhe American Winners Says B.

New York and Pittsburg are
the only two contenders against
Chicago. New York plays with a
rush and then loses. This is large
ly due to the fact that there is
so much young blood in the team.
1t is not an organization Of vet
Grams, although there are veterans
among the players. If there were
one or two heavy hitters on the
New York team-heavy in the
sense that they could be counted
upon for averages of 300, and
plenty of long drives-New York
might win out, but the very I'M
certainty Of the team is the
strongest factor against it.
Pittsburg Is too weak in the
box. Whatever other faults the
team may have developed this
year, it is certain the work of the
pitchers has not been up to the
expectations of either the manager
or the owner.
Should Chicago have a relapse
and lose the playing form with
which it is blessed at the present
time, it is possible that either
Pittsburg or New York will jump
ahead of it. Both are capable Of
doing so the moment the Cubs
break a jot from their present
speed, but as Chicago has been de-
veloping all, the season. rather
than retrograding, the indications
are the players will be able to
last until the last of September,
and by doing so win the cham
pionship.
Let them drop five or six games
together. and the New Yorks
strike one of those winning

many prophets who, with good rea-
son were positive that they never
would get back to that wonderful
display of effort which won for
them so many base ball champion
ships.
Chicago has a good staff of
pitchers which from uncertainty
has developed into stable collec-
ton. 1t is true Brown is not SO
effective as he was last year, and
possibly will not be so effective
this season, but the younger pitch
ers who haze been added to the
team have just begun to show
their value, and If they remain
good Chance will have little to
worry him on that score.
Except New York and Pittsburg,
it is out of the question to see
where Chicago can have any OPP
position for the championship In
it's organization, barring the occa-
sional games which will be won
by other clubs. Cincinnati Is a
hard club for Chicago to beat, but
Cincinnati is too far back to be
reckoned a championship factor.
st. Louis is not hard club for
Chicago to beat. Brooklyn has new
err been a hard club for Chicago
to beat. Boston now and then
wins a game, but not with enough
frequency to bring disaster to the
opposing organization.
don't think that all Of the
clubs in the National league put
the same energy into their efforts
to beat Chicago as they do to beat
some other clubs. Whether this
is due to fear or diffidence Is a
question, but It is in evidence.

FIGHT PICTURES
BARRED IN
IDAHO
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 20.--Idaho
has been added today to the anti
fight picture states that have made
the owners Of the Jeffries-Johnson
films fume and fret at the wave Of
morality sweeping the government.
Governor ]. H. Brady announced
that the moving pictures OF the
Reno fight would not be tolerated
within the bounds of the state.
Governor Brady's action was
brought about by the rumor that
the pictures were about to be shown
in some of the Occur d'Alene min
ing camps. The executive promised
to put the crusher on the hopes OF
the promoters by issuing an open
letter defining his position as
against the films.

famous. especially in the month of
September-say about the first of
the month-and the Giants are
likely to crowd through with a rush
and win, but that's their best
chance. Unless the New York
team becomes careless at the fin
ish it has a very good chance to
be second, as the season ends at

INDIANS ANNEX
THE FIFTH
GAME

The see-saw contest kept the
crowd on edge during the full hour
and thirty-eight minutes yesterday,
and it was not until McFadden mer-
cifully popped up to Cooney in the
ninth that the suspense was ended.
The Tigers scored in the fourth,
the local lads made it two more in
the sixth, Tacoma evened up In the
eighth, and in the last half three
singles in succession put the Cohn-
ties one ahead. This lead proved
sufficient and the crowd went home
satisfied with the thriller.
Fifty-two points is the statistical
lead that he Indians now have on
the Beavers. The best the Tigers
can do with this series is to tie it,
and they have to take three
straight to do that. Yesterdays
