Babe Ruth again was the whole show

slugger hit two home runs and ran
his total for the season up to 49. He

had to hustle to beat out the Boston

Ruth's second homer of the game
was his fifth in two days and it
brought the Yankee total for the year
up to 140, which ties the mark set
by the Chicago Cubs in 1884. Ruth
made four hits in five times at bat.

and still win the precious flag
and the world series cash receipts.
The answer ba sed on the average
number of defeats sustained by Ma.
tional League pennant winners in the
last seven years, is so games, plus a
small fraction.
You can run your eye down the
standing of the teams in the first
division and draw your own conclu-
sions. On the figures. the Chicago
Cubs now are in the worst position
Of the four contenders.
1t Ia fair to take an average Of the
past seven seasons to try to fix some
relative figure on the amount of
punishment that a pennant contender
can absorb. as the National League
races OF recent years have been
tighter than some of the past.
The average shows that when a
team has been thrashed so times. it
has taken about all the walloping that
it can and still come through with
success.
Two Notable Exceptions.
The most notable exception to this
60-defeat average occurred in 1925,
when the st. Louis Cardinals lost So
games and still won. The Cardinals
won the pennant with a percentage
of .578. lower than any previous cham.
pionship percentage in the history of
the league. Philadelphia won in 1916
with .592. The Phillies and the Cards
are the only teams in the senior cir
cult that have won pennants with a
standing below 800.
These figures show how closely the
Cubs are being pressed to the maxi.
mum Of defeats they can sustain
and still be able to win the pennant.
The Cubs had lost 81 games, or three
more than any of the other contend
ers, before today's tilt at st. Louis.
