Either Boston or Chicago in the
American League may have Connie
Mack to thank when the pennant goes
TO one Of them. as is confidently ex-
pected.
Mack sent Joe Bush yesterday to do
the pitching chores for the Athletics
and he stopped the champions in their
tracks Recently the White Sox went
10 Philadelphia to have a little fun
out Of the once feared aggregation and
almost lost their clothes along with
their re-clothes.
A recent visit by the Athletics to
Chicago hit the White Sox so hard
they haven't stopped wondering how
It happened.
Boston's defeat was heart-breaker
for the bean factory, for the White
Sox we're just squirming through with
an even break on a double bill In
stead of keeping up with the process
sion or gaining a point or so. the
Barry folk slipped backward half a
game Another game remain for the
Red Sox to play in Philadelphia, and
then they take the places OF the
White Sox in Cleveland
Finishing with the Indians all the
Red Sox have to worry about Is a
series in Chicago with the White Sox,
and such encounters with the White
Sox in Chicago have been about as
profitable for the Red Sox as attempts
to take Verdun have been for the
German Crown Prince.
Six home runs rattle around the
Polo Grounds in a double-header be-
tween the Giants and Dodgers.
Casey Stengle and Arthur Fletcher
ratified their bones--in wild attempts
on each others features.
A National League Jackson did the
heavy work as the Pirates subdued
the Cubs.
Four hits produced three Chicago
runs in the first game at Cleveland
but eight produced only two in the
second.
The Senators forgot they were Sen
ators and went through with two vic
tories in a single afternoon.
The Indians best pinch hitter and
best slugger were centers Of interest
today Joe Harris, who can hit when
It's needed, goes before an army
board. II bis feet are fiat enough
he'll escape the draft
Iris Speaker is recovering from
bean ball from Danforth. II knocked
him out. He wants 10 play again this
afternoon but the club doctor may
not let him.
