HUNDRED AND FIFTY ATE.= 50 TH’ WIND BLEW TH! DISHES OFF. By PAUL PURMAN,. With October and the world series {less than two months away, the two American league leaders have settled down for the drive down the home stretch. The outcome depends upon the club with the stamina to keep in the gruel- ing race, the club which will win games in the pinches, Only two games ahead, the White Sox must play much better ball at home than they have on the road and must at least break eVen on their next two road trips to hold their advan- j tage. Two games in August is not much of a lead with a tenacious club like lthé ked Sox in runner-up position. The schedules are equally hard. Boston has a few more games to-play ; away from home than Chicago and five or six more postponed games, giv- {ing Chicago a slight advantage in this respect. Each club mugt still meet every other club twice, once at home and once abroad. It is not unlikely.the pennant will be decided in the two series between these clubs at Chicago and- Boston. If Chicago can ake four of these six games and hold her own with the other clubs the Giants. and Whiic Sox will figure in the first intersec- tional world series since 1909. If not, monopoly on the annual classic. One of the significant things to con- sider when the possibilities of the ‘two clubs are being measured is their clashes. the ‘Re@ Sox: can come through in a pinch. This. also seems tobe true of Chicago’this year? :1n ‘the Jast clash of the clubs at’ Chicago. the’ White Sox won three; lost ane and tied one. At the last series at Toston, after the Red Sox the Red Sox had won two games the The minor league situation Scontin-; Many ues to grow worse. There is scarcely a minor league in the country which is making money. Most of them are losing it in large gobs. The Central association is the latest to hit the rocks and two or three oth- ers are tottering on the edge of the financial precipice. Two cities in the Western league, one of the strongest of the minors, have been compelled to give up their franchises on account of lack of stp: port. The Three-Eye league, the South Atlantic league and the Northwest- ern league are among others which heve already gone under. ‘Unnptte Gentle ius been released by the Sout! league«:How ‘could: a guy with that kind of # name.expect to get by as ain ‘mpire? ‘ @ee Quite a lo#d has been lifted from the}: minds of American leaguers.
