In the sporting section Of The Sunday

son Of the record of the Nationals. with
their opponents in the games in which
they have competed. In this statement
1t was shown that the Nationals led every
team in every department of the game
with the exception Of the Athletics. and
We're entitled to the position they now
hold in the present pennant race.
With the season more than half gone

out of place to predict the probable win
ner. and while it has been repeatedly
proved that there is no positive form
to base ball, the past performances OF
the various teams are really the only log

New York and st. Louis Fortunately,
there are five other clubs in the league
which Boston must argue with before
the curtain falls, and the figures do not
show that they are near SO formidable
against any of these.
Boston is playing good ball and de-
serves the lead on what it has done. but
careful examination of the records
leads one TO believe that j. Garland Stahl
has had horseshoe hid in his pocket.
and IL Connie Mack's statement that luck
evens up during d campaign is true, then
you may not be surprised to see the Sox
nit the rough going at any time.
The Nationals is the only team that has
the edge on the Sox in games won. yet
they have been outbatted by Philadel-
phia Washington and Chicago, and out
tielded by Cleveland in these eighty-four
games. Not much can be said for the
speed Of the Red Sox nor the ability Of
their catchers from the records. as they
have stolen ninety-nine bases, as against
116 of their opponents.
These are two important factors in de-
Gliding a pennant, and in this regard the
