If It Returns Home In Lead, Ty Thinks American League Race||; a Three-Cornered Fight, witht Chicago and Detroit Being the}]: Other Contenders. By Ty Cobb. (World's Champion All-Around Ball Player.) T is astonishing what a difference just a few days cap make in a pennant race. campaign | a big tough of the three leaders for the next three weeks, or until the Eastern clubs go back home. Both Detroit and @hicago will have to hold the Bostons off for the pres- ent if they expect to beat the Hub bunch to the flag, however, If by any chance the Red Sox can pick up some ground and go into the lead befor returning home, I am afraid that It will be curtains, for nobody can beat them consistently on the Fenway lot. | The manner in which the Tigers trimmed Chicago three out of four in the recent series illustrates what a! team can do by fighting hard all the | time. We made up our minds before that engagement started to battle for every inch of ground, and we didn’t ease up once while the Sox were in our town, From the time we went on the field until the last man was out we “rode” Rowland and his men; and I know that we succeeded in iting their goats” by this method. wish that we could land a sours of pitchers as good as this Faber, This was forcibly impressed on followers of the American League it week, when the complexion of the strug- gle changed all of » sudden from what appeared to be! a walkaway for the White Sox into a nice three-cor- nered scuffle among Chicago, Detroit and Boston, The Tigers and St. Louls can be thanked for pulling the leaders down within hailing distance of the other two contenders. In doing thi nates a great favor, for a one-sided race would be finan- clally disastrous, particularly this season, when things are going so badly at the gates anyhow. When the Sox opened a four-game series in Detroit week ago Thursday, they were five and a half games ahead of us and ler} about the same distance in advance of Boston. They increased their lead | was loamed to-day from @ source that is thorough ‘by winning the firat game of the series.

Boston in the mean time was winning and we were able to split with the Cleveland Indians, so the three clubs were nose and nose when the holiday's sun set, ‘The way things: look now, it will o———_<___——_______—_ games by hammering the cover off the al. we had Boston's statf, or| mummated today sao there would be nothing to| tal Room of Biookiyn may also be used at the at! it, but if one of those clubs had oura it would be somewhere in the second division, so perhaps it 1s all even in the end, good work as anybody in the world When they are in shape, but they seomn to be unlucky, The cold weather that | Aubrey of England and Gardner Brooks, the great lwo have hed it’ Detet all year | New England bantamweight, will clash in the other doubtless has helped to make the | ‘round contest, moundsmen unreliable.

Afar the wonderful race rum and won by Andrew Miller's Roamer in the Brookdale Han- dicap at Aqueduct Saturday, one can’t be blamed for asking, Who's going te beat him in the Suburban Handicap, to be run Wednesday at Belmont Park? Roamer was originally assigned 125 pounds in the Suburban by Handicap- per Vosburgh, but he incurred a pen+ jalty of five pounds by nis isrookdale victory,-so that if he goes to the post Wednesday it will oe under the crush- ing impost of 130 pounds. It takes « champion to shoulder this package, concede Weight to oider horses and show the way home over the mile and @ quarter route, but Roamer looks the part of a champion. After Saturday's race he should cer; tainly be to concede eight pounds to Belmont’s Stromboli, but there is striding Short Grass, who likes the Belmont course, in under 12 Pounds, and he may prove trouble> some. ‘Tartar, Norse King, Gainer Sharpshooter and other good ones get chunks of weight from the Mille gelding too. t a difference of twenty-two pot is Tartar beat Roamer in the Brooklyn Handicap at a mile and onedeighth, the latter tiring after making all the early pace. The racs was run in the same time, 1.503-5. ‘Thero will be the same difference im Wednesday's stake if both go, Tartar being shouldered with 108. The race willebe a real test of Roamer’s speed and stamina, provid- ed it is run over a good track, If ‘Steeplechase Jockey Tuckey thinks he can keep Bonnie Laddie out of the hands of the handicapper 4 winning his races by the closest of margins, he is foolish, Any person with ordinary eyesight couldn't help noticing that Tuckey might have won his last two races on Bonnie Laddie by ten .engths. Mr. Vosburgh isn’t blind by any means. John Madden thought his chances of winning the Tremont with Wood- ward second to none, and he told, everybody so. The Quincy ble's owner thought he would win with Success, especially as the distance was six furlongs. Success finished fifth and Woodward sixth and last.
