season Na viit is that Cleveland is not'well oft in the lead and the other is that New York has kept up where it is Lajoie has all the inherent ball playing strength in his club that any one could ask plenty of good hitting a good: string of pitchers fast fielders and clever base runners and yet that team is only third Why there are seven men with Cleveland hitting over 300 Lajoie Clark Bemis Rosman Turn er Bay and lick Chicago j5etroit or the Athle tics one or two of 'those hard clean up hitters that Lajoie has and see how easily either of these clubs would walk off with the flag So far as club is concerned I am sur prised it is up so well because it has not a single high class pitcher to keep it going The team hits well enough being second in club batting but at that there are only three regulars above the 300 mark Chase Keeler and Williams himself is one of the best pitchers on this team but the burden of handling a winning club in such a fight is too much for a man if he has to pitch too and Griffith is wise to my mind in keeping out of the playing end and devoting his time and attention to getting everything possible out of his men Score: TECUMSEH AB A 4 4 4 4 4 Boston
