FAMOUS RACE
IN 1908 GAVE
FANS THRILLS
Far Different From. the Run
away Race of the New
York Americans Now
BY NEA Service

A1y ANAHA A'SiN iSS
New York, Sept. 1.-The apparent
runaway race the New York Yankees
are making in the American League
this season, in deep contrast recalls
the great finish in the same circuit
back in 1908. For the dash for the flag
that year was without doubt the
most sensational ever witnessed in
either of the two major loops.
In that hectic campaign there
were no less than four clubs fight
ing for the leadership way into the
month of September And it was an
even battle all around. Detroit, Chi
cago, Cleveland and ST. Louis, the
contesting teams, each had an equal
chance to cop.
The situation was of further in
terest in that it was purely west
ern affair" the four Atlantic sea-
board clubs all being left out in the
cold
Down the home stretch came the
quartet like so many race horses. 1t
looked like a blanket finish. But
with about two weeks to play, the
st. Louis entry faltered, and was
outdistanced, leaving the other three
to wage it ont. And what a merry
old battle it was.
But with the final wire almost in
sight, Cleveland, likewise, found the
pace too hat, and fell back, though
still remained in the running, should
either or both Of the other two slack
up rlomentarily. The Indians, in 9TH
or words, retained an outside chance.
On to the last series of the season
went the trio, with Detroit and Chi
cago almost neck and neck. Thus
with only three games to play, the
Tigers were due in the Windy City
to wind up the chase and incidental
ly decide the pennant winner.
Detroit needed but one of the con
tests to grab the gonfalon, Chicae
had to sweep the series, providing
that Cleveland didn't win all four of
its games from the Browns, in which
case the Indians still had show
But Cleveland was put out by St.
Louis in the opening tilt, thus giving
Detroit and Chicago clear field.
Seemingly to make sensational
finish to an otherwise sensational
race, the White Sox captured the
first two games, leaving the cham.
pionship to hinge on the final en-
counter of the season. Victory TO,
either club meant the pennant, ant
chance to get into the world series
Needless to say, that last game
was watched with intense intcres
throughout the country. Baseball
fans were all ""het up" Fora cham
pionship was at stake. And cham
pionships aren't won in day.
| But the Tigers, with their back.
to the proverbial wall, and on hos
tile soil, aided by the great pitchin,
of "Wild Bill" Donovan, turned bacl
the chesty Chicago gang, and VOL
their second pennant in as man,
seasons. Not a single run did tn
White Sox get off the offerings o
Donovan that day, so well was tn
