Eastern Teams Set
Pace for Title Race
Brooklyn Club Looms Up as Factor for the National
League Pennant-Phillies Make Distinct
Gain on the Cubs

The indications that the battle for
supremacy In the baseball world would
be among Western teams In the two
major leagues have changed during
the past week and II now looks as II
tho East Will be a factor In deciding
whore the pennants 90. The teams which
have been setting the pace since the
season opened have begun to crack and
the trallers are moving up with q show
OF speed that promises to make them
contenders for the fass. The National
League race IL even more Of an open
event than ever. while tho American
League teams are punching in q manner
that presages another exciting finish.
The Phillies have played q more con-
sistcnt game than any other team in the
National League, which accounts for
Moran's men holding their present posi-
tion. couple Of weeks ago the CHI
cago Cubs were going at a clip that
kept them we'll in front Of the other
first division teams, but Bresnahan's
charges have been slipping lately and
had hard time OF Il last week, when
they lost five and tied one out Of eight
games games played, ,S On two days they were
Eeds taking them into camp twice on
Monday and Brooklyn administering
double defeat on Saturday.
While the Cubs were dropping these
games the Phillies captured four out OF
seven and moved up within five points
OF the leaders. Moran's men really
should have been in first place today,
but missed a golden opportunity by
throwing away a couple of games which
they should have won easily. The same
weakness has been -:splayed BY the
Phillies lately that is noticeable In the
work Of the Cubs. The ability Is there,
but the punch" has been lacking in
the pinches and runners have been left
on bases too frequently. The Philies,
like the Cubs. are good hitting team,
on their ability to slug the ball In
two games last week they successfully
worked the squeeze" play and dis
played a knowledge of inside base BALI
which would have helped them had
thev resorted to these tactics in the
games they lost through failure to sIug
the ball.
All eyes are on the Brooklyn team at
present and the Dodgers will bear
watching. Brooklyn went through the
week with clean record. winning
seven games, three straight from the
Cubs. and has captured eleven out Of
its last twelve games. A club that can
do this must be considered dangerous.
for the teams which are supposed to
have a chance for the championship
usually hit their stride by the middle
of July. and just now Brooklyn Is
going at top speed. while the others are
