Here's how we get it. Outfits over
which the Yanks, Tygers, Bucks and
Browns hold the edge thus far this
season are considered plus" clubs
for the quartet, while those holding
the edge over any of the first divi-
sion group are to be considered
minus" clubs in the calculations. The
Yanks and Tigers in their series are
~stand-off" clubs.
Now, then, the Yankees plus"
clubs are the White Sox, Indians. Red
Sox and Athletics, and their minus"
clubs the Bucks and the Browns. The
Tigers have the same plus" and
minus clubs. For the Bucks the
plus clubs are the Yankees, Tigers.
White Sox. Red Sox and Athletics, and
Indians. The Browns plus" clubs
are the Yankees, Bucks, Tigers, In
dians and Athletics, and their minus
clubs the White Sox and Red SoX.
The Results to Date.
To date the Yankees have played at
q. .661 gait against plus" clubs, the
Tigers at the same rate, the Bucks
Against minus" clubs the Yanks
have travelled at a speed of AL, the
Tygers at .406, the Browns at .394 and
the Bucks at .355.
The Yankees have remaining 80
@plus' club games and 10 minus"
club games, the Tigers 80 with plus"
clubs and II with minus" clubs. the
Bucks 35 with plus" clubs and 13
with minus" clubs and the Browns
40 with plus" clubs and II with
minus" clubs.
Assuming these first division ag-
gregations will continue at the same
rate they have been playing to the
end of the season, we get this: The
Yankees would win p of 80 tilts with
--plus" clubs, 4 of 10 with minus"
clubs and break even with the Tigers
in six games. The Cobbmen would
take 81 of 80 plus" club battles,
of minus" team tussles and. natural
ly. divide 6 games with the Yanks.
The Bucks would get 81 of 35 plus"
club engagements and of IS minus"
club matches, while the Browns
would capture "a of 40 plus" club
scraps and of II minus" club argu-
ments.

infield might stand the assault of the

"a shortsighted policy on his part,
because he lost a chance to step into

Had he Joined Washington and had
the Nationals won the pennant, Scott
would have been from $4,000 to $4,000
better off by virtue of his share of
the series money.
Poor Hitting Fatal Weakness.
Inability to strengthen the batting
power of the Washington team is the
weakness of that club as a pennant
contender. Taylor was obtained from
Memphis to play third base, and, al
though presumably a good batter, he
is not on the base, Ehile Bluege, who
may never make a good batter, is
permitted to play third.
Harris may think he can win the
championship with a good fielding
team, irrespective of the batting. but
if he does he is fooling himself badly.
He cannot overthrow teams like New

weak hitting combination.

FACTS ABOUT THE BONUS


The bonus question and tax reduc-
ton are the two live issues before
Congress. Politicians seeking re-elec-
ton hate to commit themselves on
either measure at the present time.
Real statesmen have been trying to
work out these national problems and
give the people the facts. If the peo-
pie know the facts, public opinion may
be relied upon to bring about a salts
factory conclusion.
The three different measures plac-
ed before Congress for soldiers bon
us are the Fordney, McCumber and
Mott bills. All three bills give ex-ser-
vice men the option of choosing any
one, but only one, of the following
plans:
l. Adjusted service pay, cash award
2. Adjusted service certificates, in
surance. 8. Vocational training aid.
4. Farm or home aid. 5. Land set
Element aid Cost involved in these
bills varies as does time in which
government must pay
The McCumber bill has made most
progress, as it has been reported on

and for good of country, the Fordney
bill is considered best as the govern.

In considering McCumber bill, the

if every veteran took the cash pay.

$5,273,000,000 if every veteran took
adjusted service certificates (insur-
ance). Under what Finance Commit

Comparing governmental expendi-
lures for II months of fiscal year 1921
with whole year 1914, it is found that
federal expenditures were $4,000, 000,-
900 more than expenditures for 1914.
Proposed bonus would be in addition
to these expenditures.
For year ending June 80, 1921, ex-
