While it is fairly reasonable to assume that the Giants or the Pir- ates will win the pennant in the Na- tional League, by virtue of their lead present and their general réngth, demonstrated through the greater part of the season there is nothing tangible on which to form an opinion as to which of these teams will win. The same helds true in the Amer- ican league. The Athletics, booming big as this js written, and the cham- plonship Senators, have a big edge on the other teams of the league. But neither respective standings or the present condition of the teams, furnish facts on which to base a sound opinion as to which will cop the flag in that race. There are too many factors that must be considered—too many condi- tions and changes that can arise be- tween now and the closing days of the big league schedules. First of all the Giants in thelr four year reign in the WNatlonal League, have played wonderful ball in September. McGraw has had a September ball club, so to speak. t f span, lacks for and a bit of the grueling whatever our-year adiness needed ys of September they bring. As for the Pirates. Of recent years they have been the most formidable contenders for the flag, just as they are this year, but| in every crisis have been found want- ing—have failed to stand the acid} test. This year's team on paper ap- pears stronger than any of those which faced the Glants from 1921 to 1924, But has it absorbed the fight- ing spirit lacking in those other teams? The team has youth in abundance —but youth has its shortcomings, Has the team the poise to carr through a hectic month of pla when‘every kid on the team knows too well what {s at stake? There is plenty of time for either team to break, collect itself nd ak again between now and the st few days of October, In the American League a difter ent though similarly complicated sit- uation exists, Connie Mack {s lead- ing a team of youngsters, The team Regardless of conditions existing in the early season and mid-year weeks the Giants seemed to gather them- selves together for the supreme ef- fort in the last month, And for four straight years this effort has been successful. On the other hand the four years have also produced a team which Presents an odd combination. Half of the team—composed of veterans of years preceding the triumphant ones and who have played through the four year span—are old and more susceptible to injury. Meanwhile, the other half, built of rookies in TUNNEY MAY QUIT MANAGE Pair Fail MTouleamn Up in Boxing Game, Is Report. | By FAIR PLAY Copyright, 19: per Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug, 25. — Where lowers ‘of the prize ring game, h as fi s and their t rs, | gather, one mears a lot of hich very often turns o absoRite fact. Just now, for instance, there is ossip on the inside route that Billy and Gene Tunney are not to remain together much ibson likely longer. Even before Gibson announced that Benny Leonard had returned to the ring and that he would han- him as usual, there was talk at Gibson and Gene did not team up any too happily, But now with Gibson turning the biggest money prospect in the ring outside of Dempsey, and the most popular fighter in the world, includ- ing Dempsey, Tunney is not likely to be any too well pleased, The dope, in fact, is that he is not. Whether this ts just fighters’ dope or not, will be known before long. Another story is that Mickey Wal- ker and Dave Shade will not meet In the ring for, the welterweight ti- tle for the simple reason that both are well above the limit, and would to date has appeared stronger than those he led in the last four or five years, But, all in all, it is much the same aggregation. And he has seen that team go to pleces between outs and turn from pennant winning ag- gregation inte a hopeless outfit, Stanley Harris, a youngster him- self, is rrying on with a team of veterans—a team that can fail him over night because of lame arms faltering legs and failing eyes All things considered the paper strength of these four teams counts for less in discussions as to the prob- able outcome of the scrambles than of the usual the averages teams. A short break by any teams can change the complexion of things materially, And by the same token, a quick comeback—a re versal of form over night—can knock the race into a cocked hat again, So {t is a wise fan who withholds his decision until after Labor Day. The recent unexpected death of Bil’ Phelon, veteran Cincinnati sports writer, removes from the field of sport writing one of its pictur. esque characters. Phelon made the success of the Cincinnati Reds a per sonal matter, being sincere in his praise and criticism. His knowledge of the game and its celebrities was conceded by all. MPULVAN WINS TENNIS TITLE AT.

The score was 8-6, 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 Both championship contenders had played thelr semi-final matches off Sunday morning.
