AMERICAN LEAGUE.

The pendulum of success in the
American league has swung from
the west to the east. After having
had monopoly on the champion
ship fer four years, the west must
now give way to eastern clubs.
l pick the athletics of Philadel-
phia to win the American league
flag and Boston to finish second.
New York, which has furnished the
surprise of the season, and which
Is alerady beginning to show the
signs of the long strain, is more
likely to finish fourth than to
trouble the leading clubs at the fin
ish. New Yorks pitchers were the
most potent factor in keeping the
Highlanders near the front, and
Ford. WARRIOR, Quinn and others
should not be nearly so effective
during the last two months of the
race as they were the first four.
Detroit is the one team which the
Athletics and the Boston speed
Boys" have to fear.
Detroit's pitching staff has not
come up to the mark this year and
there Is no reason to expect that
the twirlers will do anything won
derful in the final third of the race.
In addition, the Tigers, 1t Is said,
have troubles among themselves
and no team can look for success
that is troubled by internal dissen-
sions. Neither at home nor on the
road has Detroit been as formida-
BILE this season as during the three
previous campaigns, and 1t does
not appear to have the old time
spirit which carried II to success
by whirlwlnd trip through the
east In 1907, while Manager Jen-
nings is not likely to get new blood
to stir up his players like he did
in 1908, when Bush fitted into the
team like a glove on milady's hand
or Tom Jones and Delehanty did
last season. Detroit Is still for
midable, but II has too many games
to play with three strong teams of
one section-Philadelp Boston
and New York-to have more than
an outside chance for the cham
pionship.

COIN PUTS ON A
SPECIAL STUNT;
CHASING YOUTH

Joe Cohn put on an added at
traction at the ball park yesterday
afternoon, just about the sixth in
ming, that for the few who witness
ed it was much more interesting
and amusing than the regulation
contest.
One of the kids hanging around
outside the fence looking for knot
holes grabbed on to a ball that was
foul-flied over the stand. Cohn
saw the kid pick the ball up and
was preparing to admit him to the
game for returning it, when he was
Mortified to see the gamin make a
dash for the circus grounds. Cohn
went down the steps from the
grand stand in about four hops and
took after the kid.

ton to fight It out for first and
second place. The Athletics good
lead at present should prove a bar
rier to Boston's success. The Ath-
letics have proven that they are
as strong against the first division
teams as they are against the Sec
ond division clubs. In other words
Manager Mack manipulates his
pitching staff SO that certain pitch
ers who are most effective against
Boston, Detroit and New York, are
on edge to NEST theRe teams.
Up to date this season the Ath-
letics have beaten Boston, New
York ana Detroit q times out of
AZ games. They have won eleven
games each from Boston and New
York, and six from Detroit, losing
four to Boston, five to New York
and five to Detroit. This gives
them only "a more games to play
with the three other first division
teams, and Judging by past per-
formances their rivals are not like
~ to gain much on them.
After playing wonderful ball in
the spring, Mack's team sagged
somewhat in the hot weather, but
it has been getting back it's stride
out west, and barring accidents,
should be In front at the finish.
Boston has a pitching staff SUI
perior to that of Detroit, and this
advantage should be sufficient to
hold the Tigers back Of second
place, although each team is strong
on smuggling batsmen and very
speedy on the bases.

Joe uncorked a burst of speed that
would have enabled him to land
his quarry he tripped and went
sprawling. But he was game and
took up the chase again. But now
he was limping and the kid would

NATIONAL LEAGUE.


Western clubs should land the
first two places in the National
league. The battle for the cham
pionship in this organization is be-
tween Chicago, Pittsburg and New
York. and the two western teams
should finish ahead of their east
ern rival. OF the western teams,
pick Chicago to beat out Pittsburg,
but the latter should give the Cubs
a stiff argument and should make
up some of the ground which sep
arates them from Chances men at
present.
No other teams but these three
have any chances for the cham
pionship. Neither Cincinnati nor
Philadelphia has displayed the
steadiness to keep up such a win
ming streak that they can get into
the fight for first or second place.
Give either one more first class
pitcher and it would make trouble
for the leaders, but they are too
far behind now to consider for any
thing higher than third place, and
one Of the three leaders must take
a big slump to give them an op-
portunity to get into the first trio.
While the Chicago Cubs are not
the wonderful machine that won
the championship in 1906, 1907 and
1908, nevertheless, it's team work
Is superior to that of any of its riv.

secured many victories for the club
this year and will land many more
before the race ends. Individually,
the Chicago players have gone
back, but collectively they are the
brainiest players in the league. and
their inside work alone gives them
an advantage of many per cent.
While the accident to Pfeister,
who broke his wrist at New York,
and the fact that Overall is unre-
liable, owing to an injury to his
right arm, caused by too constant
use of an underhand ball, will
prove a handicap to the Cubs, their
pitching staff is strong enough to
weather these handicaps without
ahy oCl iouS luSSA
The New York Giants, although
strong on team work, have not got
the pitching staff to stand the
