YANKS' RUNAWAY IN
SHARP CONTRAST TO
1908 LEAGUE FINISH
Pennant That Year Hung
on Outcome of Finai
Game.
BY ROBERT EDCREN

New York, Sept. 1.-The runaway
race the New York Yankees are max
ing in the American League this sea-
son, IN sharp contrast recalls the great
finish in the same circuit back In
1908. The Dash for the flag that year
was without a doubt the most sensa-
tional ever witnessed in either OF the
two major loops.
In that hectic campaign there were
no less than four clubs fighting for
the leadership into the month OF Sep
TENDER. And it was an even battle
all around. Detroit, Chicago. Cleve-
land and st. Louis, the contesting
teams, each had an equal chance TO
cop. -
The situation was of further interest
in that it was purely western at
fair" the four Atlantic seaboard clubs
all being left out in the cold.
Down the home stretch came the
quartet like so many race horses. nc
looked like blanket finish. But with
about two weeks to play, the st. Louis
entry faltered. and was outdistanced'
leaving the other three to battle It
out. And what n merry old battle
it was.
But with the final wire almost in
sight, Cleveland, likewise, found the
pace too hot, and fell back. though
still in the running should either or
both of the other two slack up momen-
tarily. The Indians. in other 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, incidentally, decides
the pennant winner.
Detroit needed but one of the con-
tests to grab the gonfalon. Chicago
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 a clear field.
To make a sensational finish to an
otherwise sensational race. the White
Sox captured the first two games,
leaving the championship TO hinge on
the final encounter of the season. Vic
tory for either club meant the pennant
and chance to- get into the world
series.
Needless TO say. that last game was
watched with intense interest through
out the country. Baseball fans were
all "het up."~ A championship was ut
stake. And championships aren't won
in day.
But the Tigers. with their backs 70
the proverbial wall. and on hostile soil.
aided by the great pitching of wild
Bill" Donovan, turned back the chesty
Chicago gang, and won their second
pennant in as many seasons. Not
single run did the White Sox get off
the offerings of Donovan that day. SO
well was the "Smiler" the master of
ceremonies. while the Tigers almost
annihilated the Chicago hurlers. leav-
ing no "ifs and ands" as to the right
full victor.
And thus ended the 1908 pennant
race in the American League. cam
paign that stands without parallel IN
the history of baseball.

UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN WOMEN'S GOLF
TOURNEY THIS YEAR
Misses Stirling, Collett and
Wethered Will
Meet.
BY FAIRPLAY.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
Rye, n. ", Sept. 1.-The national
amateur golf tournament at Floos-
moore is not the only golf event that
has an Gureole. The national tourna-
ment for women at the Rye course of
the Observation-Disclosures country club
is as much to be respected as the meet
ing for men.
There will be two principal con-
testants here. One of them will be
Miss Glenna Collett who is the present
champion and the other will be Miss
Alexa Stirling, who was a champion
and who is n very excellent goIIer
now, even if she hasn't the title for
the moment.
Miss Stirling has been defeated by
Miss Collett and is quite well aware
of the style of game played by that
young womtn as well as of her gen.
eral ability. Miss Collett perhaps is
longer driver than Miss Stirling, but
it is doubtful if she is better on her
approach shots. They seem to be fair
ly even in putting. Both of them are
good putters if they are not bothered
by nerves and even the very best golf
crs have attacks of nerves now and
then.
Sometimes golfers are forgetful.
Their minds wander off the subject
and the bail wanders off the green.
To play golf for championship it is
necessary to concentrate. In the words
of the long primer editorial "concen-
tratc concentrates concentrate That
can be run uD TO capital letters but Il
isn't absolutely necessary although the
high brow writers seem to think the
bigger the type the bigger the thought.
Miss Stirling, having made up her
mind that she will enter the national
tournament. has been practicing and
doing it without letting anyone know
much about it. There's one young
lady who can keep secret. OF course.

Takes More Than a Wallop.
But when tirpo found that he was

he went to work cheerfully enough.
The one mistake he made was in that
early split with Jimmp DeForest,
who had taught him what he knew OF
American boxing, and in bringing on
an Argentine amateur &c act as adj
wiser.
Firpo is of suspicious nature.
Perhaps he thought that an American
handler might slip something into his
tea. He didn't know DeForest, who
takes q scientific interest in develop
ing new champions.
DeForest never has been n money
grabber. He isn't gambler. And

Firpo's chance to win will be slim.
He has a great right-hand wallop
but it takes more than that TO win

when other assets are fairly well

Shows Respect for Firpo.
Fighting every day in the training
camp will bring it back. When Demp.
sey took Saratoga training quarters
instead of some place nearer New
York. it showed respect for Firpo's
chances.
Although Firpo spent quite a bit OF
time trying to induce Tex Richard to
postpone the bout he isn't going to be
backward when he once steps into the
ring with Dempsey, with the world
biggest ring prize in sight.
Firpo. like a Lot of modern boxers,
has developed business sense. After
beating Willard he found that he

The fact that if hc beats Dempsey
