 The Passing of Erin.
 So the Irish are drifting from out the Losing their grip on the grand old

 So the Irish haven't the old time stuff That once made good when the scrap

 How Are You Picking Elm? It might be admitted off hand, via. the eternal dope, that the Phillies haven't a chance with the Red Sox. It might be admitted that they haven't chance to beat ball club that beat the Tigers fourteen out of twenty-two games.
 But then the Phillies never had chance to win the pennant. And the Braves never had chance to beat the Mackmen last fall. And Willard , never had a chance to beat Johnson. | And Standish never had a chance to | beat Ouimet. And Johnston never had an outside chance to beat Behr, Williams and Mclaughlin in row.
 The "Never Had a Chance" Club. l The Never r-had-a-chance'' entries are the ones who have done the bulk
 of the damage this season. Also last season. There seems to be g. we'll de- fined advantage in being picked to i lose. These are the folk who have 1 amassed the bulk of fame for at least 1 two years.
 How many experts believed at this l date last season the Braves could win l two games out of six from the, Mack men-much less four out of four? i Not one in seventy-seven. To say that any first class entry hasn't got | chance" is more than making a sweeping statement It has an inti- | mate liking to the art of articulating | through ones hat. For it is always we'll to remember that the Phillfes al- ready have done big lot more than any thought they could do. And just I at present this seems to be a bull market for the once low stocks. Punches and Such. There are a number of lunches to ip series | burst. To begin with, the Phillies have never won a world series before, largely because they have never had | a chance to even start one through | forty years of wandering across the Barren Lands.
 Also, the Red Sox have never lost world series. They have only been in two, but they beat the Pirates in 1903 and the Giants in 1912. No
 Boston club has ever lost a world series-a record that belongs to no other city. Giants, Athletics, Cubs. Tigers, Pirates, at one time or an- ether have all absorbed it in highly vulnerable spots. But Boston, up to 1915, has been impregnable to any world series assault. Which is a
 hunch you may employ either way that they are due-or otherwise. ] Tn stating that the Red SoX and
 Braves are the only clubs that never ] lost a world series we erred. Neither : had the Reds or Tanks.
 The White Sox also have perfect
 world series record with one Win out | of one start.
 | ua that chideth or blameth his
 caddie is a duffer at heart, though he l ten.
 But he that blameth only himself for each mistake has gathered form
 in one main variety that Vardon might not surpass.
 1 Carrigan may be bothered bit as to which slabman he will start the
 series with, but no similar worry now i harasses the manly bosom of Pat. , Moran. For Pat knows well enough, . even this far ahead, that it won't be , Demaree.
