National League Race Closer
Than a Year Ago at This Time

Pittsburgh Is below its form OF year
AGO with 50 defeats. In any way that
it can be figured it is quite evident tnat
Pittsburgh is not the team that 1t was
in 1927 and that st. Louis Is better OH
at this stage of the fight than the
Pirates were last year.
If comparative reckoning were worth
much in trying to figure out champion
ships. the ST. Louis team would seem
to have almost 20 points the better OF
the argument to win. That IS better
than the condition which confronted
Pittsburgh a year ago. New York IS
not quite so good as 1t was year ago.
The Chicago Cubs are almost identically
where they we're in 1927. In other
words the Cubs are no better and no
worse, and the improvement that they
expected has not materiallzsd.
St. Louis is vastly better and the Gin
cinnati Reds are half a league better
thar they were a year ago. Thus TIE
fight must continue to be closer the
remainder of the season than 1t was
in 1927, unless one of these five teams,
or two or three, simply slump into IN
significance.
This is not the situation in the Amer
ican League. That race is simply test
of endurance. breaks and so on. The
cxpcrtness of the teams has little To
