Sox and Cubs Threaten
to Fight Around Top
Throughout Season.
PIRATES, YANKS SPEED
Athletics and Reds Continue

BY Henry l.. Farrell.

United Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 1.-When the
pennant chances of the major league
baseball clubs were being rated be-
fore the season opened the two Chi
cago clubs were given hardly a
tumble, but they are up near the top
now and may be around there for the
remainder of the season.
The White Sox DO not look as
strong as the Philadelphia Athletics
and the Washington Senators. but
they are hustling and playing smart
baseball. The Cubs haven't as much
class as the st. Louis Cardinals and
the New York Giants, but as long
as they continue to get the pitching
they have enjoyed they will win
lot of games.
Pirates Deliver
The Pittsburgh Pirates have hit
their stride and are more than living
up to preseason calculations DESPITE
some spotty pitching and the
temorary loss Of Ray Kremer. The
st. Louis Cardinals are still getting
good pitching and they are sure to
have lot to say all during the race.
The Cincinnati Reds will have to
get going soon if they are to get
out of the second division. The
breaks have been against the club.
The Giants are having trouble
with spotty pitching, inferior catch.
ing and an outfield weakness. John
McGraw finds it's necessary to ex.
pertinent, and experimenting is a
dangerous practice during the play.
ing season.
Lindstrom Handicapped
The infield appeared to be the
best in the National League when
the season opened, but now it is up
in the air. Lindstrom has lame
back and may not be able to con-
tinue at third base. McGraw wants
to make an outfielder of him, as
he is too good a hitter to be kept
on the bench.
The New York Yankees are
moving at fast gait i'm the Ameri-
can League and seem to be cinch
for the pennant. They apparently
have everything a championship
club needs, offense and defense
and spirit.
The class of the club is being
shown now. Koenig and Dugan are
out Of the game, but the team has
SO much secondary strength that
the loss Of two regulars hardly is
felt.
With Walter Johnson back on
duty the washington Senators are
bound to improve.

tinue to be disappointment, and it
is doubtful if Connie Mack knows
what to do about it..
