Fifteen Years OF Tinker

NEW YORK, July 2. W.H;-Near-
ing the halfway mark in the two
major league pennant races, the
Philadelphia Athletics hold sway in
the American League, and the Chi.
cago Cubs hold a slim lead in the
National League.
The first half of the season has
provided few surprises, but, BY
the large, most of the clubs have
run true to form.
The National League furnished
several early upsets when the Bos-
ton Braves jumped into the lead and
the New York Giants tum blcd into
seventh place, but the Giants have
fought their way back into the race
aud the Praves have dropped to
their level.
In the American League the Van.
KEGS have shown signs of slipping
after winning three pennants aud
two world championships in the last
three years. They are nine games
behind the Athletics. After Is years
Connie Mack apparently has found
the right combination and the
Athletics arc winging away eight
games in front of the Browns.
The terrific hitting of Foxx.
Simmons and Cochrane and the
supborb pitching of Rommel, Grove,
Walberg and Earnshaw are tn.
principal reasons for the success OF
the Athletics.
With the return to form of Babe
Ruth and Herb Pennock, things are
looking up for the Yankees and
they may improve their position in
the race this month.
: In the National League all four
of the contenders have serious
weaknesses. The Cubs have failed
To show sustained offensive and
have been getting only spasmodie
results from their pitching staff.
Despite weak defensive play anG
rather shaky pitching staff the
Pittsburgh Pirates have managed TO
stay in the race, largely because of
the hard hitting of Traynor art,
the brilliant pitching of Grimes,
who has won ! out of II games.
The Pirates are only one gam
