Just look over the figures. Lest
year the Yankees ana Washington
battled to the last minute in our
Ieague-and the Giants. Pittsburgh
and Brooklyn finished in a bunch IN
the National. This year there are
six teams right now that have
good chance. And four OF them are
practically even bets right now.
OF course, Washington and the
Athletics have the edge in Our
league and SO people out Of 100 fig
ure that one or the other will cop.
/ think so myself. But you've got
to consider the White Sox, too.
They're only stride back. and
they're coming strong. If Dickie
Kerr can take up where he lett
off you're apt to see Eddie Collins
gang right there at the finish.
In the National League II looks
ike either Pittsburgh or the Giants,
with the Pirates having BIT Uf an
edge. But don't forget Cincinnati.
Jack Hendricks has the best pitch
fnR staff in the league-as good as
any IN either Ieague-and his team
has got the notion that they can
win. They're back q ways now
but they're coming on.

And remember that the season
has nearly two months to run.

ne Won don't believe it just look

Believe me, I'm glad my JOB doesn't
include picking the winners each
year. Picking an all-star team is
tough enough, but at least your
| team stands still long enough to
| be counted. And that's more than
the leaders are doing in this race.
Even now, with only two months
to go, don't feel any surer about
the winner than did Wnen tne
season opened. Not as sure, az g
matter Of fact, for ! figured the
Yankees would walk in. then.
But I'm getting away from my
subject little. What I started e
saw was that q lot Of folks are
away off when they say baseball
isn't the game It used to be. IT.
different, alright. But the thing
that makes baseball q great game
Is plenty OF competition and g close

matched and pretty closely bunched
That's the thing that keeps up thu
/ fnterest-more than all the 1-to-l
games on board.
& OF course we've got lively Dan

hitting, and . lot more scoring.
