their throwing has held to singles

the marked ability of his two assoc

II the seasons record may be taken
as a criterion, the Cleveland club
never had better chance than at
present to cut down the Athletics
lead. The Athletics have been up
against the only club In the league
that has anything on them on the
seasons play, The Chicago White
Sox this year are to the Athletics
what a few scattered batters are to
the star pitchers--an ingrowing buga-
boo. They have beaten the Athletics
twelve out OF the twenty-five games
the two teams have played thus far
this season, the only team in the
league that has wen a majority OF
games from the leaders. And the Sox
have the faculty of slipping It over
just at the moment 1t ought to be
most disastrous. The only reason 1t
hasn't been so Is due to the inability
of Cleveland to come through at the
far famed psychological moment.
