If Detroit has stamina this is the
time when it must show it. 1t could
lose an outfie1der with less damage
than a first baseman, for. like most
teams, 1t doesn't carry a crack sec
ond string first basemen.
That double header, which St
Louis lost to the Yankees the other
day at the start of their August in
vasion of New York, was a repeti-
tion Of other experiences the Browns
have had here The Yanks had won
five games from the Browns and lost
three to them at Yankee Stadium
prior to the last trip of st. Louis to
the East. On the first day of their
last invasion the Browns lost a dou-
Bile header to New York, making the
total of victories seven to three in
favor of the Yankees
The wallop that st. Louis again re-
ceived is but another instance of the
inability of the Browns to make the
goal when they seem set for it. You
can't win a championship unless you
can win at least half your games on
foreign territory.
As both major league races stand
now, there is not the slightest proba-
bility that eeither of them will be
won with 100 victories. 1t is
probable that both will be won with
less than 95 victories. That would
not be the loW-water mark for q sin
gle league, but if both races are de-
cided by less than 95 victories the
year 1924 will have set a new record
in big league base ball.
The Giants seem to have the oppor-
tunity to win by a larger margin than
the Yanks or whoever wins in the
American League. But if the Giants
continue to be raided by Pittsburgh
there will begin to be doubt as to
New York's chances. The Pirates
would gain a whole plum pudding if
they could clean UP the whole New
York series and follow up by similar
performances against some of the
other Eastern clubs. But that's where
the West usually falls down. Even
when they beat the Giants, they don't
usually maui the rest of the East the
way the Giants do.
