SpurtS and Retreats in Both

THIS WEEK MAY SEE
FLAG WINNER MADE
By GEORGE R. HOLMES.

tniled ffess stan Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Betting men
are "oi'' the pennant races in the Ma
tional and American leagues. Bewildered
by the rapid spurts and even more rapid
retreats of the various contenders. they
have thrown up their hands in despair
and closed their books. a swing through
the sporting belt failed TO reveal any
bookmaker courageous enough to accept
"A wager at prices which would attract
the casual bettor.
The reasons were rheerfullv given.
The races are too close There are too
many teams contendirg; there is an
absence cf dope. not team in either
league has played consistent baseball
since April, and too many things can
happca between now and the first week
Of October. Several freak wagers are
posted, but none on the ultimate out
come.
The betting fraternity has hardly re-
covered yet from the dose handed it by
the weird success OF the Braves last
season, and that has made itself felt.
With the worlds series but a matter
Of six weeks away, there isn't a team
in the National League but that can win
the pennant with a little consistent
baseball Boston and Cincinnati were
the only teams in the National League
to better themselves last week. Each
played at a Cos clip, while the others
broke even or lest ground.
John McGraw still picks the Braves
This week may see pennant winner

the part of any of the teams will mean
almost their elimination, so according to
that, there should be some bang up ball

The addition of Joe jackson by the
White Sox and Bill James by the Tigers
further complicates an already compli-
Gated American League race. If the De.
troit clan can keep up the pace it set
last week, there is an excellent prob.
ability that the end of this week will
see new tenant in first place. The
Tigers played 1000 per cent. ball last
week. winning eight games, and were
only stopped Sunday by Walter johnson
in half of a double-header.
Boston is still favored by the major.
