win the pennant. That was the case
last year as far as the Athletics
were concerned, but the tradition
didn't mean much in the National
League. A year ago Saturday the
Brooklyn Robins headed the parade
with the st. Louis Cardinals fourth,
six and one-half games to the bad.
Last year on independence day
the Athletics held three-garne lead
over Washington. This season they
will hold three and one-half-game
margin. The Cardinals have an
edge of one and one-half contests
on the Second-place Giants. While
the margin is a slight one, it is
enough to indicate the Cardinals
are the team to beat for the Ma
tional flag, for they return home
July 9 for a twenty five game stand;
and the Cards are about as tough as
they come in their own yard.
st. Louis had an opportunity to
increase its margin today by meet
