National League are so close togeth-

been, as we have remarked. close
contests before. but none that in
volved SO many contests and such
loag periods OF time.
For the screp Ahead.
Ed Roush has been a trife coy
and coquettish about signing up.
hut you know how these things are.
They will all three be at it again
on opening day in another grand
dash to break away and open up a
gap.
Hornsby came well from behind
last season and caught both men.
At the start of last springs race
Roush had a tidy lead, but Young
also came at fast clip, getting the
tip of his beak in front.
Which one of the trio will be on
top by October? This compactness
can't last forever and our guess is
that IL. will be a battle between
Hornsby and Young. with the for
mer slightly favored.
Young. a star from the start, has
been improving and last season he
had his finest year. So he will be
no unworthy opponent for the hard
hitting Cardinal or the tempera-
mental Red.
Another Squawk.

proach-
That makes me play the odd.
Is detrime ntal to my score
And parts me from my wad.

The Triple Miracle.


: Undoubtedly in your serene or
some close contests.
You have seen two horses finish
ibeak and beak with less than a
fish's eyelash between.
You have seen ball clubs play
twenty innings to a tie; and you
have seen football games where the
scores were SO much alike the con-
test was called draw.
In 1908 you saw the Cubs and
Giants tied after 154 games, with a
play-off needed to settle q disputed
combat.
But for all that you've never seen
anything as close as the triple
miracle.
Closer Than Death Ii to the Grave.
What would you say Of three
major league ballplayers-league
leaders who after a total of 1,763
ball games were less than one point
apart?
II that isn't a miracle for close
ness we'll inhale the first catcher's s
mitt tossed into the room.
The three members of the Triple
Miracle encourage are Ross Young,
of the New York Giants; Rodgers
Hornsby, OF the st. Louis Cardinals.
and Edward Roush. of the Cincin-
natl Reds.
Kindly examine these benevolent
statistics for their entire careers:
