Giants Will Have to Show Improved | Form to Hold Present Big Lead-- | Race in American Still Close. : Nothing is more unreliable than baseball dope and those engaged in the harmless practice of picking win- ners before the season is over may yet have cause to revise their opin- ions, Many upsets are possible even in the short time remaining. A winning streak here. or a slump there, -- woul make considerable change in the standing of the leaders and open up possibilities for some- other club that now appears to be out of the race. Yet, under normal con- ditions, it looks as though the pen- nant in the National League were about settled, with the race in the | American a toss-up between Chicago and Boston, with the odds favoring the sympathies of the dopesters, With a lead of so many games at this stage of the race it would take hercu- lean work for an'y- of the clubs imme- diately behind to drag the Giants out | of first place. The Phillies have the better chance, but their uneven play- ing much of this season has not been such: as to encourage¥the hope that they will be able to overtake the lead- ers in the short time remaining. New York has lately been going none too well, but the chances are that the one- team race has made the Giants slug- gish, and in the absence of anything like real competition they have failed | to play up to their reputations. Yet | with the opening of the opportunity | for advancement, only the Phillies has been able to reduce New York's lead to any appreciable extent. The Giants wind up thé western clubs' | last trip east this week with Pitts- | burg, and follow with Brooklyn club, | that need not-give the Giants much | concern, but games that are liable to put the leaders on edge for the series | with the Phillies, who meariwhile may | be having their own troubles with St. Louis and Boston, both clubs which | appear to be playing pretty stiff ball just now. It will, however, rest with the west to change the complexion of the Na- tional League race, for upon the next trip will hinge largely whether the clubs in that section of the county can slow up the present contenders sufficiently to make much, if any, dif- ference. Of the eastern clubs, the Giants are perhaps the better road team. It has been not so long ago, last season, in fact, that the Giants on their last trip west cleaned up every game, and under present conditions they would hardly have to do little more than break even to clinch the flag. If the Phillies are only able to take advantage of any slipping of the leaders it would make the series be- tween the two clubs the decisive one. White Sox Best Offensive Team. Boston and Chicago continue to make all the rade in the American League, and so cose are the two clubs that it looks to\be a toss-up as to which is really the batter club. The recent séries between thé\two result- ed in an even break, which, because of being played in the Welt, rather favors the Red Sox. Yet it would not be surprising to see the Réd Sox repeat, simply because of their pitch- ers and their strong defence. 'hen it comes to comparing the clubs on the season's averages, the two teams are about on a par in defensive strength. Offensively, the cham- pions do not show so well, the White Sox appears to have some- thing on them in nearly every depart- ment of the game. In hitting, Chi- cago ranks third, while the Red Sox are- in seventh place. The cham- pions have scored fewer runs than any other American League team {with the 'exception of Washington, {and only the Athletics have stolen less bases, The thing that has kept the Red Sox around the top has not alone been the strength of their pitching i staff, but the use of.the sacrifice hit, in which hey are past mastérs. In the figures Boston ranks next to Cleveland in sacrifice hitting, and it is by the use of this that the Red Sox rely upon to. win. The champions are always playing for one rum at a time, counting upon their pitthers to hold their slender leads. It is thus that the champions have the reputa- tion of winning more games by one run than perhaps any other team in the major leagues. By many the Red Sox are counted a gamer team than their western rivals, and not a few followers of baseball are of the opinion that the White Sox, over- loaded as they are with high-priced stars, will flounder in the stretch. * Whichever of the Sox wins will de- pend lar, on what the other clubs will be able to show when pitted st the contenders. The fear is that those teams not prominently in' race begin experimenting bush league talent, and thus put s would He in see 5 go west, if nothin, a . it stimplate interest that section of the country, as it = ime years since the west .
