As AUGUST drifts along toward Septem.

has one Vita detail left to absorb such
fanatical interest as may not be over
shadowed and obscured by the war.
This is the detail as to whether 1t will he

Barring terrific upheaval, Ty Cobb has

White VS.. Red

l'p to n week ago we looked to the Red
Sox for American League victory. We still
believed this club, even when five and half
games behind would hammer its way to
the peak again and enter its third world
series in succession.
When the White SoX lost three straight
to the Na|>s and dropped two games in
succession to the Red SoX, falling from a
five-game lead into second place, the argu-
lnent appeared to be over,
But the White Sox are quite evidently
not the white Sox of other years. In
place of breaking wide open, a natural Sc
ouel to losing such n lead within a week g
time Comiskeys team rallied, formed again
and recaptured the front line trenches with
something to spare,
This series now looks to be the turning
point of the race. For 1t means that Chi
Cago's leading entry is almost sure to reach
home with n fair margin of leadership, and
once back home II is almost sure to increase
this lead by a healthy gap.
Figure it out For the next few weeks
