from overhauling the Athletics. With
such a feat really easy the perversity
of fate would present itself and a losing
streak encountered. One day star
bad decision would bring defeat, the
third day a reliable fielder would make
damaging error. while now and then
there would be a mental error that
would result in the loss Of a game.
Such was the history of the campaign
UP TO the time the Athletics last visited
Cleveland and the Maps won three out
Of four. and threatened to yrest the
lead from the Mackmen. Two were
lost to Washington in the tenth inning.
Both would have been won but for bad
work In the field. The next three were
lost 10 Boston, each by one run. Bad
support Of excellent pitching produced
all three losses. Then a winning streak
Of eight games were encountered. Two
away. but the team came East with a
fair chance Of taking the pennant.
But the pitchers went to the bad.
Mitchell was unable to pitch because Of
a lame shoulder, while Blanding's whip
was also off color. Steen showed that he
was merely nve-inning pitcher. Gregg
demonstrated that he could be as wild
- the proverbial hawk. and Cullop and
Jsmes showed themselves una bic to cope
with the Eastern batters. That left
AK enDeTg as the only pitcher capable
Of holding down the Maps rivals for the
pennant and because OF Illness he did
not take part in the disasterous Wash
ingt0n series.
Five games were lost 10 the Nationals.
Three would have been won by Clcve-
land had the second placers had any
kind Of pitching Two out OF three were
droped at Philadelphia. All three could
have been won by the Maps with even
fair pitching. There is no excuse for a
pitcher when he loses his game in which
his club has scored six or seven runs.
The Maps did not look like a good ball
club at either Washington or PhiladeI-
phia. Viewing their play. one wondered
how they happened TO be In second place
and IL Is not surprising that baseball
writer's and others in the East called
them Qu!tters.

Johnson ABLE TO
WIN FROM MACK
Climbers Twer Has Highest Record Against the Athletics for
1918 Season. While FaIkenberg OF Cleveland, Is the
Next Most Successful Against Pennant Winners

Fred Falkenberg. of the Maps, was
one of four pitchers this season who,
unaided, dealt the White Elephants a
trio of defeats. The other huriers who
did this were Walter Johnson, winner
of the Chalmers auto offered to the
American Leagues most valuable play
er: Eddie Cicotte. Tiger and Red Sox
discard. and Jim Scott. who was sus-
pended by Old Roman Comiskey before
the 1912 campaign ended.
Johnson's record was superior to Falk-
enberg's, Cicotte's, or Scott's in that
the three games in which he was sue
cessful against the American League
champions without aid from anyone the
Mackn.en did not cross the plate.
In their fifty-seven reverses the White
Elephants scored lS3 runs. Their worst
beating was from Cleveland, score, 10 to
I. The Red Sox did the heaviest scor-
ing against them in one contest, getting
thirteen tallies.

CLEVELAND. Oct. l4.-The alibi sea-
Son is now upon US. Why did the Maps
fail to win the pennant? It is conceded
upon all sides that the conditions were
made in order for Cleveland to win, yet
they turned their back upon opportu-
nifty. The Red Sox. champions Of 1912,
were out of the race because Of acci-
dents TO players. Washington was more
or less crippled. Chicago was deprived
OF the services of Ed Walsh. its great
pitcher, Detroit was weakened, St.
Louis and New York were only jokes.
while Philadelphia had far from a star
pitching staff. such being the situation,
why did Cleveland lose?
