T1HE above statistics show that the Boston
j Red sox champions Of the world, are
moving faster than any team in either
league and also indicate that Carrigan's
team is, at this time. stronger than any
teams Of the American League. The Red
sox have played six of the seven rival teams
Of the American League in order and have
had little trouble winning the series from
all of them.
Boston was slow starting, the loss Of
Speaker on the eve of tho opening OF the
season completely upsetting the WORLDS
champions, and for several weeks 1t looked
very much as IL Carrigans team was
doomed TO a berth In the second division,
but the wonderful pitching stan kept the
team together until Carrigan found the
proper combination.
Illness in Camp
The illness of Jack Barry and Clarence
Walker and an injury to Duffy Lewis held
the Red Sox back when they should have
been climbing rapidly on the strength OF
remarkable pitching, but as soon as these
players returned to the game, the machine
like play of this veteran and experienced
aggregation began to assert itself.
Boston is a team which will get better
as the season nears the end. It is COM
posed of veteran players who always have
been at their best when something was at
stake, and as runs become more scarce
along toward the ond OF the season, the
wonderful pitching staff of the worlds
champions makes the team favorite in the
American League race.
Extra Innings
Boston opened It's home stand against
the West, with Cleveland as its opponent,
and won two OF the three games played.
The defeat was in extra inning game,
in which the Red Sox had numerous oppor-
tunlties to win in the regulation number OF
innings. Chicago got the jump on the Red
Sox, but after Rowland had used UP his
two best pitching bets aginst the world
champions, Comiskeys all-star cast was
helpless, losing out of games.
In this series and in the succeeding clash
with the Browns, who were beaten In four
successive games, Ruth, Shore. Leonard.
Foster and Mays gave a wonderful exhibit
ton of consistent pitching and proved be-
yond doubt that all are In splendid shape
for a driving finish.
Detroit proved the hardest opponent for
the Red Sox principally because the
worlds champions are still at the mercy
of Harry Covaleskie, the star southpaw of
Jennings staff, but the Red Sox captured
the series.
Mitchell and CovalesSie, two southpaws
who always have been hard for the Red
Sox to beat, gave CarrIgan's team great

Detroit's portside hurlers Is likely 70 result
in every team using left-handers whenever
possible against Boston for the remainder
of the season
Washington and Detroit also enjoyed
great success in the International clash,
each team gaining on the Yankees and In-
dians. The latter team got only an even
break and fell back to third place while
New York retained It's lead, though II just
beat an even break, winning 10 out of 10
games. AS for the Athletics, the least said
about them the better They won and
lost IL.
In the National League the superiority Of
the east over the west was again brought
out clearly. Despite the great disadvantage
of playing In the west, where tho heat has
been excessive, the eastern teams won 81
games and lost 2s. Not a single western
team got an even break. which means that
the west is completely eliminated from ths
pennant race Chicago has slight chance.
but II must strike winning stride like the
one the Giants had earlier In the season TO
get In the race.
The excellent comeback of the Dodgers
on Saturday enabled the league leaders to
regain some of the ground lost in the early
part OF the trip. and as result there is
only slight change in the position Of the
leaders.
Braves Trip
The Braves had the best trip. unless the
Phillies wind UP their stand in Pitts
burgh with a victory today Stallings'
team won 10 and lost 6 games, while the
Philles, exclusive of today's contest with
the Pirates, captured Q out of 15 games.
Brookyn's double victory over the Pirates
Saturday enabled Roblnson's team TO get
better than an even break They won . out
of 16
The Giants were the only Eastern team
which failed to get better than ans even
break and they just broke even In Is
games played st. Louis made the best
record of the Western teams, Huggins'
team winning out of II games. The Car
dinals broke even with Brooklyn, took three
out of four from the Giants. lost three out
of flve to the Braves and three out OF four
to the Phulies. Pittsburgh won six games
and lost seven and showed marked i'm.
provement. The majority of the Pirates
defeats were close-score or extra-inning
games, and Callahan's team really. looks
stronger at the present time than any
other in the West, grand pitching giving the
Pirates the edge.
