Chicago Sox Are Gaining
 m American

New York, August 22.-The
 winning pace of the Chicago Americans, which has carried them to the top of the league standing, indicates that only a decided brace by either Cleve- land or New York can prevent the White Sox from repeating last years success.
 Chicago has won 12 of It's last 14 games including todays victory over Washing ton. No great strength is being displayed by the three leading National teams, and close race down he September stretch is expected Brooklyn today brought a virtual tie with Cincinnati for first place by defeating the Reds and break ing even on the four-game series. New York, two games behind, will start series with Cincinnati next Friday.
 INDIANS LOSE TWO
 The Cleveland Americans ,outplayed New York last week, but dropped two games to Boston. Chapman's death ap- parently has affected the batting of the Indians, who have hen leading the league with unofficial team average Of more than .3oo. After Mondays game they batted only at a rate of .146. The Yam kees also are hitting lightly. and although they improved today against Detroit, the Tiger batsmen pounded the New York twirlers even harder than in Saturday game. Of the other teams, Boston alone lis showing to advantage, but is too far back in the race to hope for more than fourth place.
 REDS GO UP
 The pitching of Fisher and Eller against Chicago put Cincinnati ahead of Brooklyn in the National League last week. In the series with the Superbas the Reds took the first two by heavy hitting, but were blanked by Marquard and lost today when Ring was ineffec- tive.
 New York today won the rubber con test of a three-game series with Chicago, after breaking even with Boston and Philadelphia. Pittsourg was unable to do better than split even last week, and de- spite strong pitching is making no threat 1 of re-entering the struggle for the leagde leadership, Tn etail-end Philadelphians had a balance on the winning, side of the weekly ledger for the first time since carly Juno.

'Kolhen7ainen. Wins Olympic
 'MarafhonRace

Antwerp, August 22.-Han- nes Kolhemainen, represents ing Finland and holder of sev- eral American distance records won the Olympic Marathon. He showed wonderful endur- ance and covered the distance, 26 miles 1885 yards in the re- markable time of 2 hours, 32 minutes, B 4-5, through mud and rain. This broke the old record by more than four minutes.
 The eight years that have passed since Kolehmainen won three cham pionships at the Stockholm Olympics seem to have passed lightly over his head and to have increased. rather than deminished his stamina and speed. Through almost the entire distance Kolehmainen was closely attended by Charles Gitsham. the South African, who ran second in the Marathon in 1912. but he wore him down after a ahead of the rest of the field In the latter part of the great contest. The hard pace was too much for Gitsham, who fell back after a game struggle to hold second, being passed by Loss man, the Esthonian, and many of the others with the stadium almost in sight
 Lossman made a determined effort to overhaul the Finn leader, but was un- able to quite do the trick, although only a few seconds seperated them at the end.
 AMERICAN SEVENTH
 The third, fourth. fifth and sixth men to finish and thus win points came in rapidly and in exceptionally good condition. The first American to cross the line, Joe Organ of Pittsburg, was seventh, less than nine minutes behind the winner.
 The race was run in an almost steady downpour of rain and the air was raw and cold. The contestants passed over country fields and through small vil- lages.
 Arriving at the stadium both Koleh- mainen and Lossman finished strong; then ran around the track together, the victor wearing a wreath of flow CTS and the Finnish flag.
 Arrie of Italy, who finished third, was particularly active at the end of the race, for he turned several hand springs.
 DO WELL IN RACES
 While not particularly prominent in the Marathons, the Americans did ex- cellently early in the track races, win ming two first places and taking third and fifth in the discus throw. The four American sprinters. Charles w. Spad- dock of Los Angeles, J. c. Jolson of the University of Missouri. Loren Murchi- son of New York and M M Kirksey of San Francisco, running in that order in the 400-meter relay, established new world record, winning the event in forty-two and one-fifth seconds. two. .fifths of second faster than the time made by the German winners at Stockholm in 1912.
