It Will Be Tight.

EVERYTHING points to close
race into the final week of
the season. There is small
difference in class between the
Yankees and the Griffmen. The
champions have Babe Ruth and a
tottering pitching staff. The
Griffs have Goose Goslin and a
strong hurting staff. The differ
ence between Ruth and Goslin has
an effect in bringing the two
teams up even.
However, clubs out Of the race
have good pitchers who will do
their best to stop both Ruth and
Goslin, thus multiplying their bonn
harding ability. That will bring
about a duel in the hox and there
the fighting Griffs are stronger
than the Yankees.
Ty Cobb has two excellent sling
ers in Earl Whitehill, a southpaw,
and Rip Collins, a highlander.
He will probably endeavor to shoot
them both against the Yankees and
Griffmen. However, both White
hill and Collins have been worked
hard this season in the effort to
keep the Jungle Cats on top and
neither is at his best right now.
The st. Louis Browns are in
much the same condition, Shocker
and Danforth showing signs of too
much strain.
But watch the pitching from
now on. The team with the best
pitching will cop, all other things
equal, and the Griffs look to have
the hest performers in the box.
