Vests Trip East
May Tell in N. L.

NEW YORK, August IL &C. p AZ.
IN More or less. principally more,
this current Eastern trip of the
Western teens OF the National
League will have big bearing on
the outcome OF the race. ST. Louis
begins at Brooklyn, goes next to
New York, then TO Philadelphia and
tapers on at Boston. After that the
champions return direct hcnne and
play the Pittsburgh Pirates. The
Eastern clubs begin to hit st. Louis
on September 10.
Thus far st. Louis has won n
games on its home ground from
Eastern teams and lost 10. That is
a percentage Of ST., much above
championship requirements. II the
Cardinals can keep up that pace
when they get back home, 1t Is very
obvious that the Eastern teams viii
have TO rout st. Louis on this East
ern cruise or see something akin to
hopelessness staring them in the
face.

SUBS PROVE CONNIE
CAN BUILD QUICKLY
Pennants Would Still Loom If

Broken Up.
By HUGH S. FULLERTON, IA


VERY so often during the
- tanning bees this season
IL the word has gone out that
Connie Mack is about ready
to break up his current base ball
machine and start building q new
team Of Athletics for the purpose
Of winning future pennants. He
did 1t once, and those who believe
the present Philadelphia team Is
nearing the end of the cham
pionship road are willing to be-
lieve that Mack will repeat that
startling experiment.
But the Athletics line-up for the last
three weeks indicates that Mack will
not have such q long. hard pull in re-
building his team II he does decide TO
make important changes before next
year. For about three weeks the AS
have been, theoretically, crippled. Joe
Boley and Jimmy Dykes have been out
Of action most Of the time, and q third
infield regular, Max Bishop. has missed
good many games. Added to that,
Mule Mas was hurt, putting a serious
kink In the outf1eid.

In that three weeks, however, the
Athletics have won is games and lost

tutes who can go along winning games
In the accepted Athletic manner. Dib
williams and Eric McNair have served
well In the inf1eld, and Jimmy Fox
has been able to move over TO third
when It was required, while Roger
Cramer Is showing up well IN the out
field.

hind Lefty Grove yesterday and helped
produce an s-to-l victory over the De-
