Old Doc Time has beckoned they never seem to see him; 0ld Doc Time has called them, they never seem to hear. Perhaps they've been too busy mak- ing good to ever notice The Old Boy with the reaper as he followed, vear by year. but but, “I've called them and TI've them,” said the Old Doc, the seasons’; “I've called them in the sunlight and I’ce beckoned through the gloom; Angd if they do not answer me before the year is over, I've half a mind to let them stick until the crack of doom.” called “through i “I've called in others from the game and they have answered quickly. I've never missed my quarry yet from gutter unto throne; But these have been sa busy making good they've never heard me, And so I guess I'll go away leave them al] alone.” and The Flag Dreamers, It was generally conceded back in March that both big leagues this season would know closer and better races than they had produced since 1909. But no ane ever figured that as many clubs by the edge of June would still be considered with pen- nant chances. There has been no great upset in the National where the Braves, Dodgers, Phillies and Giants were supposed to have first class chances, But no one figured that Cleveland, Washington and Philadelphia would put any such power upon display in the American. And no one ever figured the Tigers and White Sox would be obscured for so long. Considerable Scramble. Having watched the work eight clubs in the A. L. we have rever seen a season before where icking the ultimate winner was such an impossible assignment. With the Tigers, White Sox and Red Sox— supposed to be the class of the league —so roughly handled—this race should now be one of the greatest baseball has ever known. Soaner or later these three clubs will get going again. But they will have their work cut out neatly for at their best they have nothing to outclass most of the others. And a quiek jump to the frant is going to mean more than it usually means in a league where there are no lame ducks to pick off in an emergency rush. of all The Confusing Initi I saw T.

It { consists of Burns, Kauff and Robert- | son of the Giants. Taking in the es- | sentialsg factors of speed, fielding, throwing and batting, this trio is | well beyond all other competition. All three ‘are .300 hitters; all three can field and peg and all three can cover a world of outfield soil. And they are all young enoush to face a long future together. Burns is Keuff and Robertson are but 24, They have more combined power | than the old Speaker-Lewis-Hooper array and greater speed than the Cobb-Crawford-Veach combination at its best.
