THE baseball season Of 1913 is now
l more than one third over and the
clubs are on their way ts the halfway
mark. In a little more than a week
ali the clubs will have finished up
their first half of their seasons sched-
ule Of 40 games. Double headers viii
be the rule for some time 10 come,
and this will hurry the clubs along
to the hallway mark.
Race Close in A. l.
With the returns in for the first
part OF the season Il seems fairly
easy task TO separate me real con-
tenders from the blasted hopes, In
the American league the race ap-

Indians and White Sox-
These three clubs were Eener-

way, and they surely are making
real battle OF t. The Boston
Red sOx, worlds champions and
generally rated as one Of the real
eontenders for the 1919 pennnut,
are all bat out Of the race
SOx Out OF Luck
II the Sox were in second place and
several games behind their plight
would not be so marked There
would be the possibility Of a squirt
and the possible slump OF the team
in front. As things stand IL is not a.
al likely that the Red Sox can over
come the present handicap and play
good enough to pull down all the
clubs now leading them The SoN
have a good ball club. but hardly
good enough TO accomplish any sucn
task as stands between Boston and
another pennant
The Browns and Tigers are not
likely TO cut any blE fl-ure In the
pennant hunt Each has made 4
squirt and may make another that
will keep the team In the top set
for few days. But neither looks
good enough TO be steady con-
