YANKEES AND GIANTS
GOING AT LIKE PACE
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

4 glance of the standing of the
clubs in the two major leagues will
show that the Giants and the Yankees
are running neck and neck in the
matter of games won. They have
been going that way all season. In
fact. since the race actually squared
away in May they have never been
farther apart in games won than
four. Much of the time they have
been tied.
If this equality had been in evil
dence only now and then little would
be thought about it, but 1t is a daily
habit, and it is an astonishing one
that these teams, both leaders in
their leagues and both of them con-
tenders twice for the world cham
pionship. should have in their third
year of rivalry records as near alike
a Siamese twins.
Somewhat the same thing happened
in 1922 although part of the time the
St Louis Americans were in first

championships are being won in two
major leagues and the victories of
each leading team bring about SIM
ilarity OF percentage the teams in the

is extraordinary that they should run
SO evenly day after day.
The second place team in the Ma
tlonal League has maze a ndrder nS iit

of the American League. Cleveland

the National.
Pittsburgh looks as If 1t is through.
Since August / the team has played
ball at the rate OF 400 per cent. That
is worse than a slump. 1t gives the
appearance of having had enough ,
It's pitchers are not pitching, and
the players do not seem to be able
to rally. Max Carey, that wonderful
outfielder. who has been with the
Pittsburghers for years looking for
a pennant, seems to be as far away
from his quest as ever.
