Interest In Pennant Race Wanes

NEW YORK, July 2s. - The ap

in the major league baseball races

notable feature perhaps was the SINAI

40 were played In the National and 4;
In the American League. A shift be
tween East and West in the schedules
and rainy day in the East accounts
for the comparative paucity OF en-.

Among other points OF interest is
the showing Of the Senators. Grit.

rated lower than the Pirates.
Here Is one reason for the low
standing OF the locals. They have de.
pended upon pure slugging to win ball
games and as that has been tried so
often and failed. 1t seems foolish to
continue the policy any longer,
Just imagine what another rs steals
would have meant TO the Pirates. They
have dropped over n score Of games

contests. but the side vas Usually re.

fast men as the Giants. how MANY OF
those one.run margins would have
been wiped out?
The Pirates have stolen men on

placed a runner on second third. but
there he has died. And II has been
