American lc-n g PM n J o I j -li I a Athletics Ath-letics !irU, Detroit Tiger.? second I would still like the royal bengals to tin n the trick '1 the senson were a month or six week younger. Jennings' Jen-nings' ten in 13 the gavnst, heaoo the best, in the American league. It received re-ceived Joke pitching for two months in a streak, and that's why it dropped drop-ped from the top lo fourth position. I am onlv picking the Athletles to win the championship because of tjiolr lad. Were Detroit alongside or them today, Detroit would be the choice. I also believe Boston could beat, out Philadelphia If Patsy Donovnn 'had his outfit on even terms with the well-managed Maekltes. New York inny be heard from. Rut I think not. The Athletics are well off on the slab, nnl Hiatus the all-I all-I Important point nowadays. Collins and Itaker.are topliners. Parry Is very so-so Davis bits them far, occasionally, but Harry Isn't Iho sweet sticker he was, and he was never, a particularly good fielding first baseman on account of his In- ability to go through with plays that I required him to throw the ball around. The mere fact that the wise Mr. I Mack wns called on to make a change In his outfield at a time when he apparently ap-parently had the flap wrapped up shows that hen worried. Waien Detroit from September 10 on. If Jennings Is lucky enough to have hta Timers within three games of the pace-makers on that date It will all be over but the shouting and the cash In (j. s Charley Comlskey's pltchlncr staff would make Detroit's a handy win-' ner. That's all Jennings needs strong, rellnblo box men. He could also use a catcher. Jimmy Archer, whom he deemed Inferior to Schmidt, j would do; In fact, there isn't a het-ter het-ter receiver In the gamo than this chap. (Continued on Tag: Eight) WINNER IN THE BIGJEAfiUES (By H. V. Lanlgan.) National Leagut. Chicago Cubs, liist; Pittsburg Pirates, Pir-ates, second. The Cubi are the class of the National Na-tional league; in act, the class of the bubtball world, and will win. Chance's crew of classy celebrities gained a t.ate lead a month ago, auj it should be a procession frcm now on. Those Cubs aro better than ever this season Shcckard and Stelnfcldt were goieg back, it waa carelessly icported in the spring. Instead, they have "como back." Sheckard Is having about the best season ho has ever had. and Stelnfcldt Steln-fcldt is the same old reliable workman work-man on third, and a timely, If not , particularly hard, hitter. ; The Evers-Tlnker combination la j the, best of them all for results. Ar- i thur Hofrnan makes the ideal co-lab- I orer wlih Sheckard and Schulte. j Kllng Is as good as ever, and Arch- I er, the second member of the Subs' receiving corps, a far better performer perform-er than tho average first string man. In fact, it's doubtful If even the peerless Kling has much on Archer. Then, Chicago has the ewellest pitching stafT or them all. It's the be6t machine In baseball. Conse-nuently, Conse-nuently, the best team. The Plra'es rbould beat out the Glints, although Johnny McGraw Is doing splendidly keeping his team so well In the race. The- outfit is only a fslr one at best, but Ma'hewson, Wll'sc FOTnotlmes Brldwell, Devlin and Snodgrass make It good enough, figuring the clever way It Is handled, to always have it In the running. However. Pittsburg should be sec-end. sec-end. I think it an easy selection SPORTS j (Continued from Page Five.) "RESOLTSJ BOTTT BUTTE, Mont.. Aug 29.
