American league may not be known until the last game has been played this season. The race has settled down to a nip and tuck battle between Ty Cobb, pilot of. the Detroit Tigers and his hard hitting outfielder, Harry Heilmann. Babe Ruth is the dark horse. The Detroit sluggers, tied a week ago, are separated by one point, ac- cording to averages released today and which include games of Wednesday.

The re- |juvenation of the line was necessary as the line fell down in the opening games of the season. The players in the backfield demanded a stronger line and tomorrow the Nutmegs will try to show a strong line and a pow- erful backfield. It is reported that the Silver City team have been laying in wait for the Nutmes team. There has never been any love for the Nutmegs and |since the local eleven have acquired Barnikow, a Meridenite the arxiety and desire to beat the Nutmegs has erown stronger.
