How to Follow Scrap
For Lead in This
Pennant Race

The Mackmen are leading the
race by half a game today.
Know how to check it up? It's
like this:
Find the difference between
their victories. Then find the
difference between their defeats.
Add the results and divide by 2.
The remainder will be the num-
Der of games separating them.
Each team has won 34games.
There is no difference. The AS
have dropped 18 games the
Griffs 10. The difference is 1.
Divide that one by 2 ard the
answer is one-half, which is the
difference between the two teams.

Neither was barrow.
AS q matter Of truth nobody
asked William Jennings Bryan
what he thought Of the failure
Of the teams to play, but he
issued q statement anyway; and

look at Ban Johnson and said
that only monkeys pay any at

President johnson then pro-
