 Every time tho Beaneaters come to St. Louis. New York and Detroit they have a good line of talk to ''kid' the home clubs about. The contention is that none of these three clubs has succeeded in winning more than one game in succession from the Champs. Another fact that is not unpleasant to the individual bugs is that Just six times has a club held the Sox to even breaks in a series In consideration of the fact that the season is now in 100 games, the record of Jake Stahl's bunch is unique.
