have been painting away at that pic

INTEREST IN BIC LEAGUE RACE
 CENTERS ON THE BROWNS AND GIANTS

New York, July 2-With the New York Giants still having the Nation al league race well in hand, despite valiant, but fruitless efforts by St Louis and Brooklyn to overtake them chief interest in the majors is cen tering on the spectacular pennant hunt in the American circuit, in which four contenders are battling around the top.
 The St. Louis Browns, who have shown no sign of weakening under the strain of pace-setting, held a lead of two and a half games today, but three other clubs-New York, Chicago and Detroit-are punched close be- hind. Experts concede the Browns and the Yankees greater reserve power for the drive down the stretch, but either of the other two western con tenders, on present form, has at least a fighting chance.
 Closing the past week with an old
 time outburst of slugging that has been conspicuous1y lacking from their offensive this season, Babe Ruth and his team mates gave further proof that they are recovering from a pro- l tracted slump. With a record of il l won and 14 lost on a disastrous trip
 around the circuit, the Yankees brac- ed against Washington and Philadel- i phia and today scored their fourth
 victory. Improved pitching and better batting, which Babe Ruth feature with his fourth homer today in three 1 games promise to put the New Workers l back in their normal stride.
 l The Chicago White Sox, with theil pitchers in rare form, proved the sen
 sation of the race, however, running
