The task facing the Griffmen 10
approximately the same as that Of
the Yankees and the Jungaleers.
However, If the Yankees, who also
have forty-one more games to play,
win twenty-three and lose eighteen,
they will just about maintain their
present pace of .566: Thus, the
Yankees have an edge over the
Griffs, an edge they may be able
to keep, too.
: Winning twenty-three more games
will give the Yankees eighty-seven
wins, sixty-seven defeats and an
average of .565, which is about
where they are Voday. 1t also
means that they will continue their
present pace.
If the Griffmen are to emerge
from this glad scramble champions
for the first time in the history of
the league, they must set a far
faster pace than they have thus
far.
The Griffs are now playing at
the rate of $40 for the season.
Continuing this it seems almost
impossible for them to grab the
gOnfalOn. They face the abso.
lutte necessity Of hitting a win.
ming streak which will put them
out In front by three or four
games and then of maintaining
their lead against the strenuous
efforts OF the Yankees, the Junga.
leers and, probably, the st. Louis
Browns.
For those who like to pore over
figures by the wholesale. here ara
some totals facing the contendin,,
teams in this leaplle this 5000.
The Washington times., 1924-08-16

Somewhere among these figures
given here will be those Of the pen.
nant-winners this season, probably
closer to the .565 than to the .604
This Is shaping up like a year for
a new record.
The Griffmen today face eight
more games with Detroit, four with
New York, seven with st. Louis.
three with Cleveland, seven with
Chicago, seven with Boston and
five with Philadelphia.
But don't be discouraged bv
these figures. The Griffs are but
two games behind the Yankees.
who lead the league. 1t is posi-.
bic for them to rOmp out in front
by whaling the Jungle Cats here
for the next few days and then
do the same to the Yankees in
New York on the last four DAYS
of this month. Indeed, those
games In New York may decide
the pennant.
Today comes the series which
may decide whether or not the
fighting Griffmen are to count in
this pennant race much longer. A
disastrous series, such as that In
st. Louis recently, where five
games were dropped In a row, will
just about cook the GrifSmen's
goose. A clean sweep for the Griffs
will, on the other hand, come close
to cooking the Bengals' goose. Three
wins and two losses for either team
will mean both clubs will continue
to hold their approximate position
In what is likely TO prove the warm.
est pennant race in the history OF
the American League.
The Jungaleers come without the
services of their crack first -sacker,
Lou Blue. They find the Griffs
suffering from severe batting
slump. So 1t may be a bit even
! at that. What the Jungaleers may
lose in smooth Unfolding may be
