Current

The above rates express the cost OF
foreign money in terms Of the Ameri--
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, S4.75is. The intrinsic
parity is S4.S65s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at pre-
MUM, which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which to settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which to
settle accounts in England.

NEW YORK, Aug. Soft Boston
to win the American league pen
ant. starting today with the Phila-
siphia club on the home field, It
iii be necessary for the club to play
a $40 clip and keep it up to the
st game, provided Chicago does no
etter than to win one more than
alf its remaining games.
4 The lead of four and half games
ow held by Chicago looks exactly
Ike a cut on the worlds series from
ne average angle. Only by the mos
charitable vision is it possible to
eject anything else although it is
lot a forgotten point that the Red
OK are wont to take their remnants
tithout any sauce.
The White Sox have twenty-seven
ames remaining on their schedule.
1nIy nine of them remain to be
layed on the Chicago grounds. Three
# these games will be played in
loston, where in the past they have
hown their nerve by holding the Red
;ox at least even. By winning four
cen and losing thirteen of these re-
naming contests it will be possible
or the White Sox to finish with a
percentage of .616.
The Red Sox are booked to en-
angle themselves with the opposi-
ion in thirty-three more games. II
hey win. twenty-three of these en-
eavors and drop only twelve, the
est they will have to show for
themselves will be an average OF
