Figures don't lie and there's
mathematical proof for the asser-
ton that the New York Yankees
have vet to clinch the American
league pennant. But alleged con-
tenders in that circuit are coming
day by day to the realization that
it will take a miracle to head off
Babe Ruth and company from their
third successive appearance in the
worlds series this fall.
= The maddening part OF the situa
tion TO the contenders lies in the
fact that for d month the cham
pions have done little better than
break even yet they stil lead the
procession by ten and half games.
The answer is that their closest
competitor. the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and the ST. Louis Browns have
done no better over the same
period.
The figures on how the three lead
ers have Jared since June 10 have
an interesting story to tell. Tabu-
