might have been on top alone
but for tie game with Phila-
delphia on April IA, the sea-
sons third day. That great
'27 New York club then step
ped out and held the lead
down to the seasons end.
Fastest start ever made in
the modern majors was rack
ed up by the 1916 Boston Red
Sox, who won Al out of their
first so gamse. The Yawkey-
men, who won 81 out of their
first "a games before being
shutout by the Yankees for
their fourth defeat, were in
second place as late as April
27, when New York was first.
The Red Sox took the lead
the next day and never were
headed.
The powerful 1923 Yam
KEGS, winner of 40 of their
first so games, played second
fiddle to the st. Louis Browns
for the first four days of that
pennant race, while another
fine Yankee team, that of
1889, saw Detroit in first
place the first four days of
that race, which ended with
the Yankees winning the flag
by II games.
In 1926 the Yankees won
the flag by only three games
from Cleveland, yet that 1926
Bomber crew got away to a
flying start by winning 36
out OF the first so contests.
Even n en-, Cleveland and
Chicago alternated with the
Yankees in first place open
ing week. The 1912 Yankees
won 38 out OF their first so
games, but after five days of
play Boston was first and the
Yankees second. And in 1882,
when New York won 35 out
of the first so, the Washing
ton, Chicago and Detroit
clubs took turns at leading
New York during opening
week.
Among other clubs which
got away to fast starts and
went on to win pennants
were the Athletics of 1913,
1929 and 1881. The 1891
Mackmen won 80 out of their
first so, but Washington led
or was tied with the AS dur
ing the first two weeks of
that campaign. In 1929, when
the Athletics also won 80 out
of their first so, the AS were
out of first place as late as the
first week of May. And in
1891, when Philadelphia won
38 out of its first so, the AS
were in and out of the first !
division during the first sew
eral weeks of play. /
The Detroit Tigers of 1911 !

The average chorus girl gets salary of SIS

Performances and rehearsals add up to
about Is miles of skating day. The true
test of chorus girl is whether she feels
like dropping over to the local rink for a
little turn on the ice after the second
show. Most of them do. -...
The job has plenty of hazards. Ice surfaces
frequently become soft, wet and treacherous
by the end of the program of skating. This is
the time when most falls occur, when bruises,
ice burns, and occasionally broken bones are
sustained.
Another item high on the danger list is the
otherwise-innocent bobby pin. Embedded in
the ice, it presents wicked, non-skid surface
to the unwary skater and can cause dam
gerous fall.
