Brooklyn Bearing Out Predio-
tions That They'd Make

: Those prophets who predicted.
at the beginning of the 1924 race.
that Brooklyn would show wen this
season in the National League, IL
they didn't win the pennant, haven't
been much disappointed 30 far In
their hopes.
The Brooklyn boys are putting
up q fast and consistent game.
They have dealt out some body
blows to teams that evidently held
them too lightly. II they but had
old Nap Rucker, as he shaped up
in the old days. there wouldn't be
anything to II.
It ID too early to get an enact
line on the National League con.
tenders, but Brooklyn should be
among the first quartet when
October comes, and there IS always
the chance that Brooklyn may flash
first under the wire.
However, the Cubs ana the Giants
must be disposed Of IN order to
make any sort OF smooth sailing for
Brooklyn, and both these Zine teams
are breezing along with plenty of
reserve power and speed. We do
not believe there IL any team in
the National League that can sub
due either the Chicago or the New
York entry.
Chicago fans are piuning their
pennant hopes on the Cubs this
year, though the Sox are also play
ing good ball In the other league.
It's hard for Chicago to get over
the habit Of whooping e up for the
Cubs, their standard-bearerg in
would be highly popular throughout
the West.

The. losers end Is better than

When an athlete has been &C.
|customed to receiving the winners
share of purse, the winners end
of anything, the winners applause
and flattery, it is very hard indeed
to be contented with anything less.
Many athletes, particularly pro
fessional athletes such as pugil.
lists or ball players. become accus-
toned to the losers end and re-
gard It as much better than moth.
ing, but once these same athletes
have known the thrill that goes
with seizing the lions share, they
will never again be happy with the
short end Of any purse. And If
this be true Of them, how much
more humiliating it must be. for a
consistent and habitual winner to
come down off his high horse and
accept the losers end!
Human nature throws no bou
quets at the athletes who get the
losers end of any purse. Human
nature does not stop to consider
that in order to get even the losers
end an athlete must be classy
enough and fast enough to give the
winner real battle. No. Human
nature worships at the. shrine OF
success and will not linger at the
feet of failure to hear explanations
Would 1t not be well to ren1em,

The three most recent appear

conclusiyely that the Sandy

Jack was knocked out Of the
box in the first inning Of a

the skids put under him in the
first inning yesterday. These
performances represent q dis

Bentley's lapse is rather diff

He was in good form when the
Giants were home last, turning
in some fine games, and when
he started out so well on the
Western trip it seemed probable
that he would be a consistent
