RED SOX The
BEST FINISHERS
The Champions Have Won
Seven Games in Final
Session This Year
MAPS AND SENATORS
SHOW UP WELL, TOO


Boston fans probably have a per-
feet right to complain of the show
ing OF their Red Sox in the pennant
race this season, but they have no
reason to hint that the worlds cham
pions owe their present position in
the championship standing to lack OF
recuperative powers The Speed Boys
have proved to be the best ralliers In
the American League this season,
having won seven games in the ninth
inning and only having let three con-
tests escape them In the final spasm.
The Maps and the Senators have also
captured seven battles In the last
regularly scheduled round, but the
Clevelanders have met with defeat
seven times in the final chapter, and
the Washingtons have been hested
five times in the wind-up period. The
records of the other American League
teams in games decided in the ninth
inning are as follows: Detroit, won
8. lost 6; St. Louis, won 5, lost 6;
Chicago. won 4, lost 4 New York,
won 8. lost A. Philadelphia, won 2,
lost g.
In S5 Of the 40 American League
games decided In the ninth inning
this season the winning run was put
on the records either on a hit or an
out. i'm three contests errors turned
the tide: in one steal OF the plate
settled things, and in another the
pitcher forced the deciding count over
by issuing a pass. Only one Ameri-
can Lacquer has succeeded in driving
hcme the winning marker in three
contests. He is iris Speaker Of
Boston. who has caused defeats to be
marked up against Chief Bender,
Willie Mitchell and Earl Hamilton
this season by striking telling blows
In the ninth chapter when the count
was knotted.
Players who have won two games
Tor their teams by producing timely
hits IN the last inning this year are
DUFFY Lewis, of Boston, Ivan Olson,
Of Cleveland; Maurice Rath, Of
Chicago and Pete Compton, of St
Louis. Other sub swatters who have
