This season Niehoff has been playing
the best ball of his career, his timely
batting being one of the big assets of
the MOrans. His elimination breaks
up the well-oiled infield machine
which is a feature of the Moran play.
Boston is four games back of the
Dodgers and half a game ahead of
the Phils. With their rivals upset
by injuries, using patchwork COM
binations, the chances of another
pennant in Beantown are enhanced.
EVers is out of the game for Stall

ly absent that he is hardly considered
a regular and the club plays fine ball
with Egan or Fitzpatrick at second
base.
Heinie Zimmerman was literally
PANIED when he was not playing his
best game, or trying to. 1t is fair,
therefore, to hand out a word of
praise for the Bronx Biffer at the
present time. Since Tinker put him
back in the game he's been putting
some life into his work and the re-

east the SoX have fallen two games
farther behind the Red .Sox, being
now four and a half combats behind
the van. They did their own share
by holding the Bostons to an even
break, but Carrigan's team is much
too strong for the other contenders.
His pitching staff has reached the
pinnacle of it's effectiveness. The
clOuting Clevelands have managed to
score but one run in three games,
and Iris Speaker has suffered Woe
full shrinkage in his batting average

The White Sox need take second
place to no one on a question of
logged persistency and mechanical
nerve. They fought uphill all the
way yesterday, lost by run, and
might have won if this logged per-
sistency had been coupled with some

team.
But this punk stuff did not occur

two men home in the eighth inning
with two out. That put the Sox a
run behind. With two out, there was
as much chance for Jack to score

either ran with his head down or
was ordered to do so, and was an
easy out at third.
Old stuff, but the frequency of its
occurrence doesn't lessen the sting.
