1t is a test between teams. Pitts
burgh against other clubs has gone
about as well as the New Yorks have
gone against others. The Pirates
have played incredibly poor base ball
against New York-so bad, in fact,
that team of their ability appears
to be strong enough to turn the tide
the other way, in one series at least.
The championship pennant actually
hinges on the point that Pittsburgh
has won only five Of nineteen games
from the New York team.
Pittsburgh has completed its series
against Cincinnati, winning fourteen
and losing eight. Against Chicago it
finished with a record Of seventeen
victories and five defeats. New York
has completed only one series, that
against Cincinnati. with fourteen vic
tories and eight defeats.
Why Cards Are ThiEd.
incidentally. it may be added that
in the ST. Louis-Cincinnati series ST.
Louis won ten and lost twelve. That's
one reason why the Cards were not
first or second in the race. Against
Chicago ST. Louis won fourteen and
lost eight. That is not quite good
enough for championship base ball.

against other teams had been equally
good.
