TRUE FORM SHOWN
BYBASEBALL TEAMS
Big League Leaders Settling
Down for Their Long
Race

Class will tell in baseball as we'll as
everything else. and il appears as
though the pennant races in both the
major leagues had sifted down to some
thing like their true form. There may
and doubtless viii be minor changes in
the standings Of the clubs due to peri
odical spurts or slUmps. but neverthe-
less the clubs that are strongest in
either organization are grouped in the
first division. and. barring accidents.
may be expected to finish there. though
possibly not in the order in which they
appear to-day.
Some Of the leaders i'm the American
League have shown falling off in per-
centagc the last week. but i'm the Ma
tional Pittsburg is the only club To
show any distinct reversal Of its early
season form. But these changes have
served TO bunch the clubs a trihe bet
ter. as where a week ago 577 separated
the leader from the calender I'm the
American League race the difference
to-day is 54S. The race in the Ma
tionaI League is much closer than its
younger rival. and it has been i'm

the last week
The Athletics continue TO make a
runaway race Of the American League,
and have even n greater lead for first
place than a week ago. They have
cut out a fast pace for their rivals,
and excepting Detroit, which succeed
ed in getting an even break of the first
series, they seem TO have little to fear
from the other clubs. 1t is questionable
whether the Athletics can maintain
their present gait. and their first West
ern trip will be watched with interest
by their supporters, as II will go far
toward determining whether they have
been playing beyond their speed in
these early games
New York continues to be the Ath-
letic's chief contender. and though the
Yankees have not been as successful as
Mack's men. they are still dangerously
close.
The sensation of the National League
race was the sudden and unexpected
fall Of the champions. who in one short
week dropped from first place to a poor
fourth It hardly seems probable that
the absence of Leach from the team
/ should result In the utter demoraliza-
ton that apparently dropped the Pr
ates the past week, and 1t does not
augur we'll for the clubs success in the
event of a close race toward the end
of the season. for the team that can
not weather the minor setbacks that

can hardly be Of real championship
caliber. Chicago has moved into tbs
lead. and the Cubs are hard PROPOSE

1t will be difficult 20 dislodge them
New York seems TO have at last goi
going right. and it would not be sur
prising If history was &c repeat itsel
and the Giants and Cubs have another
battle for the pennant.
