WHAT THEY SAY
JIMMY BURKE

According to an outsider taking
a look at the inside workings of
the pennant fight in the American
League. the Yankees are far from
out of the muslin fuss. The out
slider is Jimmy Burke of the Browns
He says:
The leaders of the American
League have just begun to fight. I
look for the. same nip and tuck
struggle to last until the teams
come down to the last week of the
season. Chicago is a strong, we'll
balanced team with the confidence
of champions and the ability to
plug along to the finish. The In
dams may find it hard to- readjust
themselves, but Speaker has a clev-
err team and he is a natural leader.
The Yankees are factors, strong
factors and neither Speaker nor
Gleason can dismiss them lightly.
If they even attempt it, Miller Hug
gins will drive his team straight to
the championship. No matter what
Cleveland or CHICAGO do. the Yam
ees are Just as likely to win the
pennant as either OF their rivals
The three teams are so close to-
gether that anything may happen"

RUTH SCORES 40TH HOMER;
YANKS DEFEAT INDIANS

The Yanks evened up the "croo-
cial' series with the Cleveland In
dams yesterday afternoon at C1eve-
land, when the New Workers, ed by
Bambino Ruth who drove out his
forty-eighth homer in the initial in
ming OF the game, were victorious
81. This victory made up for the
defeat suffered by the Yanks on tho
day preceding but Babe continued to
keep up with his record of knock
ing n ball over the fence daily.
Ruth's performance was sufficient
TO win the game for the Yanks as
Pipp was on first when the infant

She slips into the bedroom
And silently she SWITCHES
A quarter from her hubby's pants
In other words, his britches.
She hastens to the movies
And smiles in mild derision
At some poor horsethief who IA
caught
And tossed into a prison.
A Scene In the Near Future.
The fan sat in a grandstand seat,
And smoked q cigaret,
Then turning TO his friend. nearby,
He said to him: I'll bet"
Whereat a man with rubber heels
And whiskers on his jaws,
Held up his hand and whispered:
"Hist!"
And motioned him to pause.
The fan paid no attention to
The guy with beard of jet.
But turning to his friend again
He said, aloud: II bet"
Another interruption came,
This time a stalwart guy
Came running from behind a post
And winked a warning eye.
Alas u friend, the fan. was not
Inundated yet:
And leaning toward his comrades
ear
He whispered low: II bet"
A third man. wearing sq~uare-toed
shoes,
Came up through a trap-door
And stood there frowning at the
fan
Who thereupon got sore.
Get QUIT" he hollered to the three,
You're giving me a pain;
L just was trying to remark
1 bet it's going to rain"
The big investigation is on In the
National League, trying to find out
If there's anything in the rumors
that a recent Chicago-Philadelphia
game was fixed" so the Phillies
would win and thereby make a lot OF
money for the gamblers.
A squad of detectives employed by
the Chicago ball club and a COM
mittee of Chicago baseball writers
are conducting independent investi-
cations. What they'll be able to
prove is problematical.
They will probably be able to
prove there was a lot of betting on
this particular game. They may al
so be able to prove that after the
bets had been made a lot of book
markers swamped the Cub manag-
er with kilograms telling the game
was fixed" and for heavens sake
pitch Alexander and upset the plot.
o.
In fact, such kilograms were re-
ceiyed and Alexander was tent to
the slab but he lost the game, not
through his own fault. Then came
the suspicion that the kilograms OF
warning came not from Interested
fans but from interested book
makers who saw q chance to make
some money for themselves.
%
But proving these things has
nothing to do with proving that cer-
tain ball players received money for
throwing" a game so that the gam
blers might have the opportunity OF
betting on a sure thing.
The fact that there raj a tremen-
dous lot of betting on this insignif-
cant ball game. between two teams
well out of the pennant race. is very
suspicious. The betting was all u
of proportion to the importance OF
the game. If the betting was 50
heavy as t. cause the suspicion that
the t~elegraphic warnings to h
Cubs were part of a bookmakors'
scheme, then, indeed. the FAM
sit UP and take notice.
But all these things are Of loss
importance for the true baseball fan
