ne Promised in Horseshoe Pitching Tournament Culpeper

to three other clubs. Those are the
kind of claims that were made in for
mer days when percentage was not in
effect.
1t is q fact that the National League
was last Of all leagues in adopting the
percentage system, the owners SEEM
ingly not being good at figures. When
they did adopt 1t the wiser men in the
league drew a big breath OF relief.
The Philadelphia Athletics have al
ready won about one-fifth Of tie cham
pionship of the season of 1929 from
the Washington and Boston clubs. They
can lose a championship despite that
good work, by losing more than fifth
to two strong clubs. Just now the
league Is waiting to locate the two
strong clubs that are to do that little
thing.
The closeness of the National League
race and the changing of positions in
the American League race will, from
present indications. bring about the
most prosperous season that major base
ball ever has had.
The Athletics are whooping things
up with percentage of above 100. To
those who calmly predict that the Ath-
letics can win by such percentage
attention is called to the fact that only
one club In the American League ever
won a pennant with 700 or better, and
that was New York. in 1927, with TIA.
In 1909, when the National League
had an unbalanced circuit, Pittsburgh
won a pennant with .724, which was
great, but there has been nothing like
700 since then. In 1906, Chicago won
with 1888, and the next year dropped
to .703. In the year following. 1908,
Chicago slipped down to .643, and
wouldn't have won then If an extra
game had not been tossed into the
hopper by the National League directors
when they dipped into the Merkle mat
ter.

CHICAGO, July Is UP.-Al Brown,

was suspended by the National Boxing

Young Battalino of Hartford, the con-
tract having been signed before the

n YEW YORK, July 15.-In mid
July. as the pennant races
grow hotter, 1t Is Of interest
4 to record that major league
team or a team of any other
league could win a pennant simply by
defeating each team in its circuit by
one game on the series of % games
played with each rival in the arrange
ment Of 154 games in a season. Each
team plays IL games at home and IL
away from home with every other team.
To win on that basis a team would
have "a "ictories and 10 defeats, with
a percentage of .545. No major cham
pionship ever has been won by per-
centage as low as that. The st. Louis
Nationals won their pennant in 1925
with percentage OF .578. That Is the
lowest figure on record. 1t is 80 points
above .545.
In winning major pennant there are
times when the championship team of a
league loses one series to a certain club.
There have been times when it lost two
series. In a red-hot race, what team
may get from the tail-end teams,
against which 1t may be specially
strong, it can lose to teams that are
higher.
Percentage System Sound.
If 1t is very strong against the sec
ond division, stronger than any other
team in the circuit. 1t has q fair chance
to win. That is where the percentage
system is sound in determining PEN
nants. There would be endless con-
fusion If it were attempted, as 1t was
in the old days, TO award a pennant
on the number of victories that team
might have. regardless Of the percentage
OF the whole.
A team would assert that it won Is
games from one club. Is from third
and claim the championship on the
strength of that. regardless Of the fact
that it had lost three series. 9 TO IS,
