Jew YORK. Nov. I6.-The rec

many cases. from the official box

Chicago Is Rest.
The records show that the Chicago
American league club. winner Of the
world championship series, led the
junior organization IN both the num-
Der Of games won and the total num-
Der Of runs scored In no other de-
partment did the White S0x hold the
premier position although the aver

Boston played the greatest num-
her of games during the season

which finished fourth led in hit
ting. while the Boston Red SOX
held the opposing teams to the
lowest number Of runs.
Athletics second in Runs.
The figures also give q clear in
sight into the loose play Of the Phila-
uelplla Athletics. who finished in last
place. The MacEmen scored next TO
the largest total of runs. being but
80 behind the Chicago club in this re-
spect and but % hits short of the De-
trOit record. which enabled the Tigers
20 win first place in this department
Of the game.
As an offset TO this excellent Of
fence, however. the Athletics showed
the poorest defensive play of any club
in the American league. The Phila-
delphia team made the largest num-
Der Of errors. had the greatest num-
Der Of runners left on the bases and
their opponents scored more runs
against the team than against any
other club on the circuit.
In the National league the
Giants completed their full sched-
ule Of I54 games with four tie
contests, bringing the total mp
TO los.
As was the case with the Chicago
