began playing again early in June,
and from that time on he surpassed
himself at bat and in the field Steve
Yerkes was as steady as a rock at
second base, and his batting was
timely He seldom failed to deliver
when called upon. Clyde Engle, who
had to play first base nearly all the
year on account of the injury to Man
ager Stahls foot, played the bag in
manner that made the other first
basemep Jealous The catchers-
Carrigah and Cady-were like stone
walls behind the bat, and the pitch
ers-Wood, Bedient, Collins and
O'Brien. with Hall and Leonard to
help out-performed wonders In
short, the whole team played like
wildfre and stood the other teams
on end as fast as they appeared.
From the first of July to the close
Of the season the Red Sox did not
lose but one series to their opponents,
White Sox Terrors.
In the meantime, the Chicago
White Sox, managed by the clever
Jimmy Callahan with the owner of
the club, Comiskey-the "Old Rom
ann the background to help with
guns, too. Big Ed Walsh, the cele-
brated "spitball" pitcher, seemed I'M
beatable. Scott, Benz and the other
twirlers supported the mainstay
nobly. SChalk, the kid" catcher,
proved to be one Of the best back
stops in either league and held the
pitching Of the entire staff with ele-
gance and grace, while his right arm
was a terror TO base stealers.
Strengthened by the acquisition of
Hal Chase, the great first baseman,
the entire intield braced, Rath Weav-
err and Lord playing as though their
lives depended on it. The Outfleld de-
veloped into one Of the strongest in
the American League Ping Bodie
played fine ball and broke fences with
his bat instead Of talking about it,
Collins, the Newton boy, and Mattick,
the other outfieldeTs, covered their
territory like ten second men and
batted like fiends. This great Chi
cago aggregation, while its success
was not quite as sensational as the
Red Sox, plowed steadily ahead and
when the Boston team reached sec
ond place the Windy City rivals were
close behind them, only a few points
separating the two teams in the per-
centage column.
In the meantime, the Athletics,
managed by the shrewd baseball gem
eral, Connie Mack, which had been
enjoying a sort of baseball buggy ride
the first half of the season and had
already begun to count their worlds
series money in their minds struck
mighty rough road about the first
of August and began to come back"
as they say in horse racing circles.
They lost game after game. Their
pitchers went bad" and their slug
gers failed to slug. Someone stole
Frank Bakers bats and he couldn't
hit the ball. Two or three unfor-

tunate accidents put some of their
most dependable players on the hos
pital list temporarily. BY the first OF
September the Philadelphia fans
were in a panic. Manager Connie
Mack lost his Mephistophelean smile.
and the subdued swearing he in
dulged in withered the grass in the
immediate vicinity of the PLAYERS
bench wherein he sat during the
gloomy, losing games.
Situation Tense.
The pitchers on whom Mack de-
pended, caused him many sleepless
nights. Eddie Planks cross-fire be-
came crosseyed. Jack Coombs' curves
were batted from Dan to Beersheba.
and in spite Of Chief Bender's red
faced twists and black haired curves.
the Indian could not win a game on
September / the Athletics were still
In the lead, but only two games sepa-
rated them from the Rex Sox. and
the Chicagos were so close up that
the Philadelphia players had heart
disease every time they looked at a
sporting extra. This was the situa-
ton when Labor Day rolled around.
But just when the White Elphants
as the Athletics are sometimes called,
appeared to be sure of losing the lead
they had had held since the opening
Of the season in April, they took a
wonderful brace. They played the
Washington team on Labor Day and
won both the morning and the after
noon game knocking the great Wal
ter Johnson from the box in the sec
ond session. However, the Red Sox
and the White Sox also won both
Labor Day games, 80 the Athletics
did not gain a single point on their
rivals.
Games Bitterly Fought.
On September 4 the Red sox ar
rived III Philadelphia for a three
game series. Every game was Bit
terly fought, but the Rex Sox won
two of them, thereby reducing the
lead Of the Athletics to one game.
In the meantime the White Sox won
three straight and the result was
that on the evening Of September Q
the three leading clubs were nearer
together than ever. From that time
on It was a desperate fight to the
very finish. Interest in the pennant
race was tremendous Crowds pack
ed the ball parks wherever the three
teams performed.

Up-to-Date Jokes

Mr.. Winston Churchill has often
effectively silenced offensive inter
rupters. 1t is related that on one &C.
casion, when addressing a large meet
ing in the North, he was frequently
disturbed by man who persisted in
shouting Liar! Liar!', every few
minutes.
Winston bore with him for some
time, but eventually broke off his
speech to remark, in gentlest ac-
cents:
IF the gentleman at the back OF
the hall who is so anxious that the
audience should know his name will
write it down on a slip of paper and
hand 1t to the chairman instead of
bawling it at the top of his voice, he
will save himself lot of trouble"
No more was heard of the inter-
rupter for the rest Of the meeting.
