EW YORK, July 10.—The signs in the American League all point to an early dislodgment of the Chicago White Sox from third place and the entry into the upper trio of the Detroit Tygers. Chicago has just about held ite own all season, which is not so bad, considering that the Sox have no pitchers of note, with the possible ex- ception of Faber and Lyons. Robertson and Thurston are not consistent enough to be to ranked. The Detroit pitchers have not proved to he much better, but the Tyger hatiers are an aggregation of swatting savages. and from a miser- | able last Detroit has come Vhrn"gh. inch by inch, until it has landed on a little better than even terms with defeat, the percentage rating today being 506, just 20 points, or a game and a half behind the White Sox.
