vantage to one where everything must
be rebuilt as the ant rebuilds the home
which is stepped in by a No. IL brogan.
And the rebuilding must be done upon
the road by a baseball nine that lacks
initiative, that depends more upon the
force of avoirdupois and well trained
biceps than straight skill and that must
hammer it's way into the lead rather
than push others to one side.
Giants Look Like Winners
The future points more definitely to
the success of the Giants in the Ma
tional than to any other club in that
circuit. 1t was not so much that the
New York club struck home hard at
the right time to get this point or
vantage. but that st. Louis, Pittsburgh
and Chicago showed they lacked staying
power.
After September , the st. Louis ma
~tionaIs will not be seen in their native
civ dkdli. u cNbNNAAS
which they face is more than a bear.
1t is a menagerie. Six games in the
lead before abandoning st. Louis and
the remainder of the season to take up
such a battle. In succession they play
Pittsburgh on Labor day, Cincinnati
September 6. I. s. 9 and 10-that's
enough to take the starch out of any
team-PbiIadelphia. Boston. Brooklyn,
New York and her Chicago.
The st. Louis Brown return home
Labor day and never depart again. The
Browns are in better position to win
than the Cardinals. Should the latter
team race away from the Yankees,
theirs would really be the greatest vic
tory. Beginning Labor day the Browns
play Cleveland in st. Louis, then De-
ltroit, Boston, New York. Washington,
Philadelphia and after a lapse, Chicago.
Where they have an advantage that Is
not so trifling as it may seem. is that
thew play their nearest rivals between
the series of games with other teams.
New York is sandwiched between Bos-
ton and Washington and if it should
happen that the Browns needed a
breathing spell this would furnish it.
Yanks End Up at Capital
The Yankees are queerly allotted.

succession, to be followed by a very
last game of the season at Washington,

If, when they arrive at st. Louis in
the middle of September. the race is as
keen and close as it has been the Yanks
will have no peace of mind, perhaps,
F., until they get to Boston, where they
will center their last grand attack on
a weaker foe. If there were only one
or two games between New York and
st. Louis in the latter part of Septem-
Der, when the Browns would be play
ing Chicago and the Yanks would be
playing Boston, the natural odds of
the race would favor New York. Don't
overlook that the Giants are on their
own ground September . with Brook
lyn. On September 3 they play on the
POlos grounds against Philadelphia. On
September 4. 5 and 6 they are at Bos-
ton. On September Z, 8 and 9 they
are in Philadelphia. On September 10
they will be in Brooklyn. On Septem-
her II they meet Boston and then in
turn they play Chicago, Cincinnati,
Pittsburgh and st. Louis, resting for
five days after the st. Louis games
until the enfeebled Bostons go to the
Polo grounds to finish the season.
Games cannot be aualized before they
are played but the situation can be.
Indications point to the winning of the
pennnats by both New York teams as
September dawns.
