Doak of ST. Louis, whose record Is
80 for $50. Vaughn of the Cubs has
been coming along fast and is tied
with Doak, while Mayer of Philadel-
phia, Tesreau Of New York and Pfef-
fer of Brooklyn all have passed Cheney
of Chicago.
BY winning Sunday from Cleveland,
the White Sox jumped ahead of the
Red Sox and into a tie for third place
with Washington. Washington, Chica-
go and Boston are practically tied for
third place, are close on the heels of
Detroit and only FIVE games behind
the champion Athletics, and, at that,
the st. Louis Browns are only one
game behind this trio. If 1t isn't a
close race, what is it?

Manager Fred Clarke of the Pirates
regards his team as very much in the
race. Everybody in the Pirate outfit
has been in the batting slump together.
and that Is why the Pirates have not
made better showing. When his men
do begin TO hit, his troubles will be
over, Clarke says. Since the Giants
did not take a greater lead during the
slump of Pittsburg. the Pirate man
ager and his players figure they can
easily be overhauled when the Pirates
get going. This overhauling business
is not going to be so easily done as it
used to be in the National League
There are not SO many weak teams in
the organization as there once was
and the stronger ones are not SO
strong as they used to be, either.

Friends of Daniel Donovan, the Ban-

of his success with the Manchester, n.
H., team. He played last year with
the MeAdam Junction nine and his
services this year were in great de-

his work has been sensational in the
extreme. He has pitched three games
for the club, winning them all and al
lowing but three runs to be scored
during his q innings of mound work.
A better illustration of his cleverness
is the fact that but 10 hits have been
compiled on him in the three games.
