The White Sox should win
the American league pennant.

Predictions at this time are con-
tronted by pitfalls and snares for
the unwary and the Red Sox are
not out of the race by a whole lot.
But right now the White Sox
look like the winning club. the
club which will be able to keep
out in the lead unless the breaks
Gre too tough to overcome.
During the last invasion of the
Eastern teams the White Sox have
consistently refuted the most Sc
rious charge made against them
e-that they haven't the nerve in
The pinch.
Fans have heard this charge
made by ball players on other
clubs and then seen the Sox go out
hnd win games against these same
players when the odds seemed
hopelessly against them.
The most serious charge
that can be made against the
White Sox is that they are
inclined to be careless.
Twice this season the Sox have
been forced out of first place.
Once this occurred when the
club was playing away from home
Ind at Boston at that.

THE BUTTS

Oscaloosa and Kalamazoo,

few
Towns that are hard to spell:
They are live, live towns and
they're up to date,
And the automobiles grow
thick,
But because Of their names they
are doomed of fate
Forever to rank as "hick."
They can give trade pointers to
Gotham town
And Chicago can't show them
much,
But their monakers give their
wide renown
A raucously comic touch.
And so they're targets for jeers
and chaff
And Jokes of the same old brew,
Just say their names IL you want
to laugh
Oshkosh, Kalamazoo,
Kokomo, Keokuk, Kankakee"-
Names that tickle a nations glee,
Tickle it greatly, too.
They are lovely names IL you
speak them right
But the clever vaudeville folk,
Have juggled them around in a
manner light
Until they are just joke.
There's Ishpeming, Mich, and
Fondulac,
Peekwaukee and Oshkosh, too,
And vaudeville'd lack for many a
crack
If 1t wasn't for Kalamazoo,
OconomowoZ and Koshko-
nog, and others not few,
That are known to fame by the
sort of name
That laugh is fastened to.
