UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Barely
ahead of the parade, the White SoX
must begin at once to pull out or
suffer the result of tearing battle
I'D to the end of the American
league season. Playing baseball with
the same speed at which they Nv
are travelling, if they get the same
assistance from other clubs, they VIII
win the pennant, with game or-so
to spare.
1t isn't consistent with former
affairs in the national amusement TO
suspect that other American leaguers
will continue to just be content TO
sail along behind, so, while meeting
Boston, Washington, Philadelphia
and New York on the chicago
grounds, after they finish with wash
ington and Cleveland, 1t should pc
reasonably certain that they Will pun
out. for the Red Soy will be meeting
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and 81.
Louis, on foreign fields.
Then comes the old factor or de-
termination and fighting spirit the
Red Sox always have been able to
dig up for final dashes. Fighting In
foreign fields never has had any ter
ror for the Red Sox when they were
close to the top. The performance
of George Foster in holding CleVe-
land to one hit in their recent battle
doesn't speak we'll for other clubs
outlook when backed with sterling
ability by Ruth. Shore and Leonard:
Fosters return to form probably will
have a big effect. In 1914 it was
largely through his efforts that the
Red Sox were able to go through to
victory.
The National league race seems to
have reached point today where the
main point for speculation lies In
whether Schupp, Sallee, Perritt OF
some other Giant will pitch the open
ing game of the worlds series for
the New York club. They completely
crushed the Cards. Only a miracle
can now beat the club out OF the
pennant.
