N YEW YORK, September O.
Pittsburgh today begins it's
VI final home games against the
4 Eastern teams of the National
League. with Philadelphia as
the first contender. On a percentage
basis, the Pirates have the best chance
at the present in the sizzling pennant
chase, but the records show that on
their home diamond the Pirates have
not been a huge success this season.
The Pirates already have won the
seasons series from the Phillies, but
II they wish to annex the pennant
they will find 1t much to their ad.
vantage to win all the games left to
play with the Phils.
On their home field the Pirates have
won $3.50 per cent of their games,
which is pretty close to their per.
centage standing today of 500. They
are not pronounced home winners, as
some folks have asserted, because to
be that they should be winning .667
per cent or something akin to it.
The chances are that the Pirates
will win more than 80 games this
season. They would have to play at
$50 per cent to do that. If they can't
play better than $50 per cent be-
tween now and the close of the season
they wont be in the first place money.
Pirates Must Speed Play.
To win the pennant the Pirates will
nave to do 10 points better than $3.50
unless they are indirectly aided by the
inability of the other three pennant
contenders, New York, Chicago and
st. Louis, to win games.
The st. Louis team has not as good
a chance to win as Pittsburgh because
games. 1t has more games to under.
take. Not many more, it is true, but
one game will count for a heap when
a race is so close. The loser gets q
slX-point drop, while the winner gets
a meager three-point uplift. Back
sliding takes an awful lot of life from
team that thinks it Is on the way
to a pennant.
The odds for the pennant contend.
ers now are about as follows:
For Pittsburgh they are ii as to II,
New York, Is as to II; st. Louis, II as
to 10; Chicago, Is as to Z. These are
not odds for betting. If they were,
chicago. would seem to be the favorite.
they are odds as to percentage. In
other words. Pittsburgh on a percent
age basis has the best chance of any
OF the four teams. with New York very
close-exactly as close as there hap.
pens to be a difference between the
total OF games won and lost by each
team.
Twin Bills May Tell.
The best opportunity before st.
Louis is to win heavily in the series
of double-headers that are scheduled
with New York next week. If the
Cardinals are smart enough to flop the
Giants in that series, they will loom
large on the pennant horizon. And,
logically, if the Giants get away from
Chicago, leaving the Cubs PROSTATE
after their series beginning today, the
New York team will surely gain, and,
perhaps, get strangle-hold on the
pennant by knocking st. Louis galley
west. st. Louis has been no better
home-winning team than Pittsburgh.
II the Giants can put the finishing
stroke on the Cubs, one Western
factor will be through to a large ex-
