St. Louis was a ball club that
figured to give the Reds a bitter
fight all the way. AS it is now,
only a Red-Dodger- Giant triple COL
lapse will give the floundering
Cards even a pale indigo chance.
The power of the Yankees was
supposed to be one of the main
factors in giving them a probable
fifth straight pennant. Yet the
Yankees still are in the race with
one of the weakest clubs. so far,
In either league. But they still are
rated the most formidable team,
largely due to better pitching.
Another winning pitcher would
give either Boston or Cleveland a
far better chance to crack the old
monopoly. But try to find one.

"What will happen when the
