i shocks with impunity. Rubc Oldring
came from the Mackmcn in last place to
| the Yanks in first place with hardly more
than few quivers Yet the assignment of
playing on a ball club that could win
| oftcner than once a week must have jolted
| his stout system considerably.
| Whether they win n pennant or not, the
| Yanks are possessors of at least one worlds
| record They have three left-handed pitch
ers on the club, and not one of them is
called Rube.
No Record
That German submarine which Travelled

under hostile clubs for over two months
/ without the use of pulmotor or perl
scope. What is more, they are just be-
| ginning the undersea trip.
The White SOX Threat
Some other club in the American League
may land the pcunant But ball club that
| has Ray Sclalk for catcher, Russell
| Scott Benz, Wolfang, Ccottc, Williams
| and Faber for pitchers, Eddie Collins and
| Buck Weaver on the infic!d and Joe Jack
| son and Oscar FelsCh in the outheld mas
| the material 10 win by n fairly safe margin.
The White SoN have the strongest COM
| bination on offcnsc and defense, the two cs-
scntials os success. Leaving any prejudice
| or partisan feeling aside the Old Romans
| troop has the best chance in sight to lace
Brooklyn. Boston or Philadelphia III tho
| next world series The one detail that may
| interfere will be for Rube Oldring to reach
| the heights held by Frank Gilhooley. for
| Frank Baker to cross the 800 mark again
and Lee Magee 10 recover his vanished
| punch

| He that is short in his temper will be long
in his score he that holdeth his philosophy

Fair Play, Plus
Turn about is supposed to be fair play.
From 1908 TO 1914 the Giants fed yearly
on the succulent flesh of the Braves Dodg-
ers and Philes. II was poor season when
McGraw failed to win II out of % games
from each of these clubs
Now one of the main reasons why the
Dodgers, Braves and Phllies are up around
the peak is because they have reversed the
menu by feeding heavily upon the Giants.
The Duffer Interjects
don't think I'm coward;
My nerves are steady-but
rarely give three cheers when I
Come TO a three-foot putt
Easy Steve.
Records fail to prove the entire case on
a good many occasions, The records fail
to show Bob Shawkey as the most valuable
pitcher on the Yanks yet the hard-working
right-hander undoubtedly has pitched the
best ball of the campaign for DonoVan's
club.
Regardless of what bSll club may win the
American League pennant, no team within
] 0 years has made a braver battle against
Fate than Lee Fohls Cleveland Indians.
This club has met all rivals and Misfortune
together without losing heart, having shown
as fine spirit through the year any line
up in history. So far as morale goes, Cleye-
land has enough 10 fit out two or three
