RUNAWAY RACES CAUSES
 OF VERY POOR BUSINESS
Most of Major League Baseball Clubs Face Deficit for the Remaining Two Weeks - Chicago Cubs and Athletics Are Sitting Pretty-Yankees and White Sox Divide Double Heade!-Recruit Pitcher IIurls Tigers to Win Over Br0Vns-Other Gamcs
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
 Big hearted baseball magnates are about to begin payment to the fiddler for q two weeks dance through open dates toward two crowded week-cnds which may or may not entice sufficient fans to the parks to pay the ushors. William Wrigley, Of course. is sit ting pretty with the Cubs. and even the Athletics should prove no great financial drain upon the Messrs Shibe and McGillicuddy in the dying days, but the rest of the hoys face a deficit estimated in the aggregate at anywhere between $25O.0p0 and $500.000.
 If anything can bring q masnate to his senses, it is d deficit. and for this reason alone it may be au- thoritatively stated that the sched- ules for 1880 will make use Of the times saving opportunities offered by Sunday baseball in Boston. With q few regularly scheduled double headers placed upon the chart for Philadelphia, full week could easily be cut from the 1922 pro- gram. which covered ? weeks or 174 playing days.
 The poor business being transact cd at the turnstiles at this moment is largely due, of course, to the runaway races, about which the magnates can do nothing, but if a race is going to be lopsided anyhow, the club owners certainly will lose less by moving toward the finish with a minimum Of open dates.
 After attracting some 500 fans to their park one day last week. the Yankees did manage 10 muster 20,- GOO clients on the banks of the Har- lem with a bargain bill yesterday. The double header was divided, the White Sox winning the opener by T to and the Tanks the niEhtcap by to 1. Red Faber outpitched Herb Pennock, but Roy Shcrid turn ed the tables on Al Thomas.
 At the end Of the game, Charley OLeary excused seven players for the rest of the season with full pay, the MtSS1S. l tllllOtN, IIoS L. all 'l'' Byrd, Meusel, GrabOwski and Jor- gents.
 Elon Hogsgett. the $40, ,O00 Detroit recruit from Montreal made his first home start and southpawed the Tigers to a to 0 victory over Sam my Gray and the Browns. St. Louis drove only three safe hits to the outfield.
