The only parallel in this year's major sports is the case of the A’s. The Yanks have defeat. ed the Athletics in 13 of the 18 games played, but after each col- lision the Hard Rocks of baseball blinked their eyes and squared off to trounce their next opponents. On July 30 they had won 23 out of their last 29 games. So now they have more than a mere math- ematical chance of overtaking the world’s champions. ‘While the New York club grad. ually has been slipping, the Phila delphia nine has been slowly im- proving, and it has a god enough rating to lead any league. Just a few days ago Connie Mack’s ag. gregation was three per cent ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals, which are rated as somewhat of a ball team in the National League. Baseball men believe that the month of August will tell the story. If the Athletics can whit- tle down that once seemingly in. surmountable lead of the Hugmen they will have a first-hand oppor- tunity to wipe it out altogether in September, for the two clubs have a four-game series ‘booked for the Yankee Stadium. _ ‘Showing amazing comeback pow. ‘ers- after taking repeated lickings from. the Yomkeas, jpo.
