The early days of the pennant races in the two major leagues have furnish ed few surprises. Most of the clubs in the two circuits are going along ac- cording to the advance prophecies en strength or weakness, with only an occasional failure of a team to per form up to advance rating. Indictment weather, which has cut heavily into the schedule of some clubs; may b0 the answer for the standing of these teams or it may be the inability of some particular aggr egation to hit its real stride during the first two weeks of the pennant race.
