One lost game in the tipsy cham pionship series which the Whales are playing in Pittsburgh and the North Siders dropped to third place. Tink er's men must now win three out of four from the league leaders in smoky town to hang the flag over Weegh man park. St. Louis took a game from the Packers. This helped the Feds to slide back to third. They now have the poorest chance of any of the three contestants. But it is a chance and the Feds are hot after it. Another name was inscribed in the Hall of Fame last night when the Red Sox, although they did not play, were sent into the pennant class because the Browns hammered the Tigers for a win. It wasn't luck that gave Bill Carri gan a pennant winner. It was plain grit, a couple of tons of sheer fighting and some rattling good consistent baseball. No manager ever faced a stiffer field than did Carrigan. Our crumpled White Sox, rein forced by the meteoric Collins at sec and, and with a chucking staff reck oned to be the class of the circuit, started well and set the pace until June. When they had been squelched a new ogre rose to confront the Bos ton mentor the Tigers. And it was some ogre. Cobb was playing the best baseball of his career. Crawford was slugging with all his old-time power; Veach was playing like a fiend. And Jennjngs had an infield. All this array of power was backed up with a fair pitching staff.

The Phillies have won a pennant from a field that probably is the weakest that ever jepresented the National circuit, and that's taking no credit away from Pat Moran, either, because he deserves all the roses that be shied at his head. Both favorites in the National league dropped by the wayside. Giants never were in the hunt, and the Braves, handicapped by injuries and suspensions, put up a game but futile fight Brooklyn threatened for a while, but their opposition was not of the steady variety. Phillies displayed a flash to take the lead early in the season, but since then have played fifty-fifty ball, be lieving their enemies didn't have the stuff for a spurt that would overtake them. They were right, for had either the Braves or Superbas possessed a drive of any power at all the Phils could have been unseated at almost any stage of the race. And because of this because Bill Carrigan's clan has fought its way to a pennant through a bunch of hard ft X
