PENNANT WINNERS NOW HAVE THE LEAD Red Sox and Phillies Barring Acel- dents Should Capture the’ Flag. The two teams that should win the pennants in the American and Na- tional leagues, barring_accldent, are today out in front—the Red Sox in the American and the Phillies in the N tional. “Bill” Carrigan has been driv- ing his Boston team hard the past few weeks and the club which represents Beantown in the younger major league seems to have hit its - stride. Long before the opening of the seasom, the Red Sox were conceded the gonfalon, many believing that there would. not even be a fight. The race has been a pretty ome to date, however, - and should continue to remain so. The work of the White Sox has_been re markable, and Clarence Rowland warriors are not out of the running by any means. Neither are the De- troit_Tigers. But as has been stated the Red Sox shouid- cop. The Boston pitchers have not been going as tly should up to the present time, while the White Sox staff has found the going rather smooth, a condition that is liable to be reversed in the weeks to come, “Bill” Carrigan has a fight- ing ball club, and with Janvrin show- ing more now than he ever did be- fore, and with the acquisition of Barry has s well-balanced infield. His out- fleld has been one of the best in the league for several seasons.

Néw York, July 20—War _shares were again in the forefront today with new high records for Bethlehem Steel at 198 1-2 and American Can at 54.

Commission houses reported a fair inquiry for this grade of stocks from out of town sources. Trading was most active in the first ang final hours. It was in the later trading that Bethlehem Steel and Can were at their Dbest, most other stocks being neglect- ed.

Phillies Win-on Chicago’s Mishaps. Philadelphia, July 20.—Bad pitching and flelding by Cheney in the eighth inning enabled Philadelphia to_score six runs and win today's game, 8 to 6. For five innings the home team did not get a man to first base, but four hits off Lavender in the sixth pro- duced two runs. Chicago tied the score in the seventh and took a lead of three runs in the eighth. With one out in the home team's half of the eighth, Zabel, who took Tavender's place in_ the seventh, gave Byrne a pass and was succeeded by Plerce. An_error and a pass filled the bases and Cheney went in_to pitch. Cra- vath's single and Niehoff's _double scored four runs and Cheney’s wild throw on Whitted’s bunt and Cheney’s two wild pitches sent in two more.
