Just as all is not gold that glitters.
SO all Is not cinch that cinchers-
but IL is generally so.
There have been a few historic Sep
oember upsets, but as a rule the ball
club reaching September with a fair
lead has managed 20 wiggie safely
through and reach the mainland with
out disaster.
The most historic upset of them all
was in 1905, when the Giants had the
/ pennant won. sailed, bagged, cInched
and put away-only TO blow a set of
important contests with the Reds and
Phillies, then foundering in the
depths.
But IL you care TO look over the
i'chart you will find few. very few.

Most of those expected to win early
in September have generally come
through Very, very few ball clubs
have enjoyed a September lead OF
any proportion to fall back later on
There have been no vivid September
upsets that we can recall since 1893
So, unless there is an explosion OF
