MACKMEN HAVE
NO FEAR OF S0x
Athletics Win From Chicago
and Boston Alike,

NEW YoRK.-Either Boston or Chi
caso In tho American league may have
Connie Mack to thank whom the pennant
goes TO one OF them-as 10 confidently
expected. Mack sent Joe Bush to do the
pitching chores for the Athletics and he
stopped the champions In their tracks.
Recently the White Sox went TO Phils-
delphla to have a little fun out OF the
once feared aggregation and almost lost
their clothes along with their lead.
"A recent visit by the Athletics to Chi
caso hit the White SoS 80 hard they
haven't stopped wondering how II hap
pened.
Boston's defeat WAS a heart breaking
affair. for the White Sox were just
pquirming through with an even break
on a double bill. Instead OF keeping up
with the procession, or gaining q point
or so, the Barry folk slipped back ward
half n game.
