ISLAM WEAK ONES
AND YOU'LL SEIZE
FLAG" ISSLOGAN
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

"Beat the little fellows and you'll
come close to landing the pennant,"
is q well known slogan in baseball,
and this years record is adding to
the proof. It's true of both big
leagues.
The White Sox and the Red Sox
are leading the race in the Amer
lean league. Both have taken dire
vengeance against the tailend
teams, Grifmen, Brownies and
Mackmen. The Giants are in front
of the old leagues contingent and
they have slaughtered the Pirates
and Braves.
Thirteen times the Griffmen have
tackled the White Sox. and ten vic
tories have gone to the league lead
ers. Fifteen times have the Griffmen
battled with the Red sox and eleven
victories have been charged to the
worlds champions.
The White Sox have fattened on
the Mackmen, winning eight OF their
eleven settos. They have slammed
the Brownies in the eye nine Differ
ent times, while Fielder Jones' lads
have won but 1--WE games from Com
iskey's troupe.
Same with the Giants.
It's the same story with the Giants.
They also take all possible advant-
age over the weaker teams In the
National League.
The Giants have beaten the tail-end
Pirates eight out Of eleven games,
and have trampled on the Braves
eleven out of hfteen games. They
from the Cubs. The Giants don't be-
lleve in toying with them.
The Griffmen have done well only
against the Cleveland Indians, the
Mackmen, the Browns, and the Tigers.
They have broken even with the In
dams in sixteen contests, besides
playing two tied overtime battles at
Georgia avenue. They have eight out
OF fifteen victories over the Mackmen.
The Griffs have COPIED six out OF
twelve from the Brownies and six
out Of thirteen from the Detroit
Jungaleers.
It's Always the Way.
It's always the way in the big
show. Strong teams take delight in
walloping the eternal daylights out
OF the tail-end clubs. Indeed, wise
managers keep after their players
whenever opposing weak clubs for
fear Of Iet-down in their work. The
result is that the strong teams run
up many victories under such condi-
lions.
It is because OF this theory that
Manager Griffith builds his statement
annually that 1--WE may have a lot to
say where the pennant goes" Right
today, IL any one OF the three last
place teams could suddenly begin
trimming either the Ted sox or the
White Sox, the other one would romp
away with the pennant.
Therefore, any fan can see the
sense of the war cry, "eat the little
fellows"

full consideration. The wind held
steady, and while the sea roughened
somewhat this slight change was not
sufficient to diminish our progress, or
cause any swerving from the course
set. All remained quiet forward, the
watch on deck finding little to do other
than their routine duties, and no men,
ber of the crew had any occasion to
come aft, except those detailed to the
wheel. There seemed no reason why
should remain on deck, yet the respon-
sibility rested upon me, and the impor-
tance of the nights run prevented my
having any wish to retire below. How
ever, l found no occasion to interfere
with the operation of the ship, and re-
mained mostly on the main deck.
where my watchfulness assured me
there was no communication passed
between forecastle and cabin.
The fog grew steadily more dense,
until at dawn, we were steaming reck-
lessly through thick cloud of vapor,
barely able to observe the surface of
the sea, dull, sodden gray, a few yards
in advance of our bow. The dense,
watery folds swept along our sides, and
the rigging dripped moisture onto the
glistening deck planks. 1t was q
gloomy, dreary morning enough and,
even as the light of early dawn
strengthened, 1 could scarcely distin-
guish thing forward of the main
mast. However, there was no slowing
up of speed or sounding of siren. Con-
Ninccd that we were pow safely to the
north of the usual course of ships,
preferred to take the chance of possi-
bic collision.
My eyes were heavy from lack Of
sleep, and long staring out through the
black night; my senses dulled by hours
of inaction, during which nothing un-
usual had occurred to arouse me to
realization of impending danger. | no
longer even suspected trouble, or any
active hostility forward. With the
dawn the density of fog enwrapping
us seemed to increase and completely
blot out every glimpse of sea and sky.
Even Leayord leaned over the rail
just above me, could scarcely be dis
tinguished as man, and evidently his
eyes could not make me out at all, for
he hailed doubtfully:
