 for the Yankees all this season.
 The second invasion of the Vest ern clubs in the American League will go a long way toward detern1in- ing the pennant winner. Judging from the way the Eastern clubs are going it is very likely that the East will again carry off the honors. The slump of the White Sox, 1t would appear, has forced them. out of the running and the real issue lies between Boston the Athletics and Washington.
 Speaking of pennant races the fight in the American League is a great deal more interesting than the one in the parent organization, Three clubs are lighting 1t out in the Amer jean League, whereas in the National the Giants appear to have the pennant cinched already.
 Wilbur Robinson Of the Giants earns the reputation of being the best pitch CT developer in the business. If he does as we'll with Jeff Tesreau as he did with Marquard he will more than make a name for himself,
