THE big league teams also knocked us,

the clubs are up to the standard in n
financial way as well ms the big fellows.

In OCTOBER"
This has been a year of surprises in
the American League. The dopesters
were never so far off in their %prophesies
as this season. They told us. for In
stance, that the Athletics would have
no trouble In sticking around the top
of the league. Where are they? Their
mournful story is told In the box scores,
the batting averages, etc. They've lost
more games than they've won.
They told MS the White Sox would lose
thing to that effect. We prepared to
weep bitterly for C%hicago's hopeless fate.
Now the White sox are in the very fore
front of winning teams and spurn our
tears.
They told us the Tigers would follow
triumphantly at the heels of the Ath-

even hear the word Detroit mentioned
without thinking of shrouds and stretch
ers.
They told us the season babe fair TO
be a most profitable one. Every team in
the league except Chicago has lost
money.
All of which goes to prove that IL
prophets haven't any honor In their own
country they don't deserve II.
