GIANTS
LIKELY WINNERS
OF THE PENNANT
tBy Associated Press,


New York. July 23.-Based upon
the records OF the past FIVE years,
the lead of the New York National
league club, shortly, after the half
way point Of the season was reach.
led, would appear to indicate that the
team would win the senior league
pennant. The race is so close in the
American league, however, that no
such conclusion can be entertained in
advance. Including the games played
on July Is the New York Giants led
their nearest rivals, the Philadelphia
club, by IS points. In the American
race the Boston combination had but
g. three-point margin over the Chi
cago White Sox.
A comparison of these figures with
those of July Is for each season
since 1912 shows that without ex-
ception a club leading either the Ma
tional or American leagues by fifty
points or better on the middle of
July captured the pennant and fig-.
ured in the worlds series. Both the
Philadelphia Athletics and the
Brooklyn teams were able to come
through with a trifie less margin
and the Phillies ran nine-point lead
into pennant in 1915, but this was
an exception. r.....
The New York club won the 1912
pennant by 66 points after having
margin OF 1875 points on July Is of
that year. The following season the
Giants increased a 73-point lead to
81 at the close of the race. In 1914
the team had Appoint advantage
at mid-season yet Boston captured
the flag by So points. Philadelphia
played 9-point lead into Appoint
margin of safety the next year while
