Sox were winning on their merits !
Our people suffered the loss of
Schalk and Detroit was handicapped
by the absence of Spencer, but the
Red Sox were operating without
Jack Barry, the pivotal point of their
inf1eld
1t was about an even break, so far
as injuries were concerned. The
worlds champions showed the best
example of teamplay, they were
above their stride when such a pro-
digiOus performance was imperative
and that is all there was to it. They
had the best team, if not the best col
lection of individual athletes.
Through the season the Red Sox
have won IA and lost in their Sc
ries with each, white Sox and
Tigers. That should be something
of an answer.
Athletics, by defeating White -Sox,
put us out of the race yesterday I'M
less we win every one of our remain
ing games, and that is a large order,
considering we must meet New York
and Cleveland for four each. Should
we sweep this octet of battles, BOs-
ton will still maintain it's lead by
winning of its II remaining games.
If Boston wins 6 of it's remaining
games, White Sox can tie by taking
out of 8. Statistics, always dry,
are not sUcculent in this instance.
New York opens its four-game Sc
ries on the South Side today. Mon |
day is the last day the Sox exhibit at
home, except for the city series.
With Boston an apparent winner
in the American league, the last hope
for the west sharing in the worlds |
series expires. Four eastern teams
blockade the first division of the Ma |
tiOnal league and there is no chance
for western entry to even break |
through the lowest of the quartet.

The only hope of the PhiIIies and
Braves lies in the six-game series
our Cubs have with the Dodgers, be-
ginning tomorrow. Tinker is bend
ing every effort toward handing the
Dodgers a terrific jolt, and nothing
would be more paIatable to the North
Side pilot. But we fear Joe's hope is
doomed, for his team is not playing
ball of a caliber to down the eastern
ers.
New York continues to win, its rec
ord now standing at 16 straight, one
less than the record for the season
set some months ago by the same
club. Nothing in the offing seems
capable of shattering this parade of
the Giants, but even a new record for
baseball won't get McGraw any
where. His machine has been per-
fected too late.
