The fuctue ating positions of the various clubs dur- night in ts tho els |e ing the first month ts convincing proof that if a team could get enough prac- tice in the spring to walk on the field and strike its stride at the start it would come pretty near winning the pennant. During the firet month of last season every club in both leagues changed po- sitions frequently, The Cubs and the Giants were both at the bottom of the ladder before the end of the first week while Cincinnati was in the lead. They jumped up and down until the first week in May. The Giants then took first place and held it for a week. The Cubs gradually crawled up until on May 28 they took first place and held it to the end of the season. The Giants dropped as low as third place after that date but ran second for the rest of the time, Pittsburg wes never lower than fourth, but the weaker clubs that had been favored with luck during the first bwo weeks gradually fell back into their natural positions and held them until the end of the season, In the American League the Athletics were in last place at the start of the season but quickly Jumped into the lead and held !t from May 7 to the erfd. The Highlanders were never lower than third place and had the lead for seven days during the season, The St. Louis Browns were the most consistent players in elther league. They dropped into last place on April 30 and held it against all comers until the fire was out. ‘The main point brought out by these figures ia that if the Glants, for in- stance, had got their stride during the first week instead of waiting until the end of the month it would have made difference to them of five or six nd that would have put them 10 close to the Cubs that It would have ken the last two or three games to \ pees the haat an cream eat as Gen tars co finish.
