Schang has been at'the station’ only a few days, but he seems to be doing as well as any of them. He has a good arm and’ is fielding neatly.

The American League. I know the Red Sox have their Tris— The Tigers have their Ty; Nor in the round-up should we miss Sam Crawford's batting eve; I know that Joe Wood's back again With all his ancient spin; BUT I'm glad I bet no money That the White Sox wouldn't win. When the Mackian machiné was being dismembered and scatetred roadcast, Col. Comiskey wisely stepped in and purchased its motor. 1t cost him $50,000 to get Eddie Col- lins, but it was the wisest buy he ever made. For using this motor Commy now has a machine moving as swiftly as even the Philadelphia Touring Car ever travelled, i The Pursuit Race. Without sparring any further for a | lead, the American League race 'is now merely a pursuit affair . on. the part of the Red Sox and Tigers, with | hard to follow. Club for Club, i Ag any discussion of tne A, L. race | Red | Sox and Tigers, the best dope to be exhibited in this connection is a com- | parison of the three clubs. In the outfleld both Tigers and Red fox have the White Sox beaten to a froth—just as they have other out- | fields Beaten. For Speaker, Hooper and l Lewis on the one side, and Cobb, Crawford and Veach on the other trame the two great outflelds of the ‘pame, The infleld is another matter. Here with a quartet ranged around Eddie Collins,’ the White Sox carry all the edge there is. The Red Sox run second, with the Tigers last—due in the main to a weak batung combina- tion that has brought down the aver- age of the club’s offense. Fournier, | Collins and Weaver are all stars— while Weaver and Collins around second are the strongest combination in the league, In the box the White Sox again have a slight edge over the Red Sox and a dependable edge over the Tigers. Dauss, Dubuc and Covaleskie, while good pitchers, are not to be compared with Faber, Scott, Cicotte, Benz ahd others—nor with Foster, Ruth, Wood, /' Leonard, Collins and Shore. Back of the bat the White Sox again lead, with Ray Schalk, now/rated the best catcher in baseball. Or out of | baseball, as the case may be. The | Tigers here have a slight edge on the Red Sox, but hardly enough to bs called important in any summing up. Winning Factors, As affairs have progressed so far the IWhite Sox have shown winning strength in the main departments of the vivacious pastime—around the in- | fleld, in the box and back of the bat. They have no better Tun-making machine than the Tigers, but they have a better defensive club, . Their margin over the Red Sox s slight, either upon offense or defense, but the leading advantage here rests in having a man like Eddie Collins on the field to keep Morale or the Old Pep | in daily working order. Collins has been a great factor in the White Sox rise, but improved batting in other directions has also been a potent force, And credit here belongs to Rowland, the new manager, who insisted early upon dropping the old title: “Hitless | Wonders,” and substituting the hypno- | tic suggestion that “any guy could hit who believed he could.” Red Sox Prospects. Ballplayers around the American league have been steadily picking the Red Sox to catch up and win out. They have never figured the White Sox able to maintain their run-making dive. And with their full strength in the fleld the Red Sox are strong enough to go far and fast—even fast enough to win if there 1s any break in the White Sox batting. Back in April Carrigan's club had the better of it in the pre-season con- versation. But on form shown so far the White Sox should finish first, the Red Sox second and the Tigers third. Yanks and Senators, The Yanks are a greatly improved club over last season, while the Sena- tors hlve slipped back. So the batle for fourth place between the two will remain well fought, with Washington | possessing any advantage there might be lying around. Griff blew away to a poor start, but no club that has a TWalter Johnson can be stampeded or driven far oft the proper course, The collapse of St. Louis and Cleve: land wag expected—a collapse being their chronic condition—but even with the loss of Collins, Baker and others, no one ever considered any such utter buckling up as the Mackmen have shown. A club that still had some good young pitchers, with Schang, Mclnnis, Lajoie, Barry, Murphy, Old- ring, Strunk, was rated strong enough for a job at the first division; but the smash up in club spirit nas been even greater than the loss of material, and the once dreaded Mackmen now be- long with the Grecian Phalanx and i the Roman Legion—makers of ancieat Grantlend Rice history, but not the literature of the Ppresent. The Cubs in one season lost Chance, Tinker, Brown, Overall, Kling and Others, but the Cubs still hung on in the first division until reinforcements arrived, There was no aizzy diving to the Ultimate Grotto, such as the Athletics gave vent to once they ob- tained a running start. WHITE SOX GET NEMO LEIBOLD, Cleveland, July 8.—The White Sox have bought Harry (Nemo) Leibold, Cleveland outfielder, at the waiver price, it was announced here yester- day. Leibold will report to the Sox tomorrow. DODGERS-BRAVES BATTLE T0 A TIE World's Champs Lose First—Sec- ond Called in Sixteenth Inning Brooklyn, July 8.—The Dodgers and Braves entertained a big crowd all of yesterday afternoon and maost of last | evening in twenty-five thrilling innings at Ebbetts Field: Robinson’'s men | bobsted their winnings by one game thereby, but the best that the world's champions could drag out of the me- lee was a sixteen inning scoreless’tie in the second game, Which was halt- ed by darkness. Brooklyn took the first in regulation time by a score of 4 to 3. That was the fourth succes- sive victory for the Dodgers over Bos- ‘home time in the tenth inning when ton, every one of which was decided by a single run.
