the American League the Yankees are
Just twice as well of, with an ad,
vantage of eight games to the good.
Reds Strong in West.
The Reds have won about SIS per
cent of their games against st. Louis
and Pittsburgh. The Pirates have
and Cincinnati and the Cardinals have
won about .415 per cent against Gin
cinnati and Pittsburgh. It isn't nee.
essary to draw the figures to the exact
decimal. They are close enough for
comparison, and enough, too. so far as
Pittsburgh and ST. Louis are con-
cerned. to make both teams look glum.
Cincinnati has about is more games
to play against the Western teams
and if the Reds maintain their present
average they win lick the West at the
end of the season by a percentage of
approximately 800.
If the championship can be won this
year with 50 victories against So de-
feats. and that seems possible. the
Reds will have plenty of spare gas to
LED them travel on Easy street so far
as their Western rivals are concerned.
Must Hold to Pace III East.
The next question is whether Gin
cinnati can do as well against the
. East as against the West. To date
: the Reds have more than a 600 per-
centage mark In. their games with
Eastern clubs, and they have done a
bit better than Pittsburgh, st. Louis
has trimmed the East much more
decisively than either of them. If
the Cardinals had been as successful
against the West as they have been
against the Eastern teams they
would lead the league by a margin
of so points.
There is little doubt that the actual
possession of the pennRnt in Sep.
TENDER will be settled by the showing
of the Eastern clubs agaist the West.
There is little probability that one OF
the Eastern teams viii come through
and win, because there Is not enough
solidity and consistency in the East.
The Giants win one day and bobble
the next The Phillies and the
Braves simply aren't there, and Brook
Ign can't settle to steady gait even
with pitchers who might be able TO
tame the West.
Although Cincinnati today is only
four games ahead in the race, It's pros
poets can be figured rlnany games
ahead, because it has won out in the
hardest part of it's fight. Manager
Hendricks, of course. must keep the
team up to its knitting and to cham.

for it's success If it doesn't skid when

ACACIA REPORTS
PROSPEROUS YEAR
Has Insurance in Force in
Excess of $500, 100000.
Fills Need Here.

With insuranc in force in excess Of
5000 600 900, the Acacia Mutual Life
Association reports the last year as
one of the most prosperous In its
history. according to William Mont
Gomery, president who has been sec
retary and general manager or presi-
dent for over 30 years. A mutual old
line company. with headquarters in
the Homer Building, the association s
activities in recent years have as
sumed such proportions as to make
il one of the largest financial insti
tutions in the District of Columbia.
The financial statement. submitted
Thursday by Mr.. Montgomery at the
annual meeting and election of direc
tors and officers. shows assets of $15.
695,944. an increase of S3,330,12S over
the preceding year. and surplus of
ST BOG 269 First mortgage loans on
improved real estate at the begin
ming of the present year totaled
S9.t90.l63. as compared with S6,416,
835 on January ]. 1924.
Ir connection with the latter, il was
explained that the association is fill
ing q long felt need in finanCial circles
in the District. Because of the nature
of it's activities and its large assets
II has been able to lend large sums on
ing the possible necessity of builders
and property owners seeking such ac-
commodations in other financial cen
ters. Notable among the large loans
made by the association within the
last year was one of $500 on the
Denartment of Justice Building.
The association last year showed
new insurance paid for aGEreGating
S37. $50. 500 and a gain in insurance in
force of $21 .520 1856. The orGanlza- =
ton deposited in Washington banks
more than 81 900. 900. most Of which
represented money drawn from other
cities.
