ence by a wide margin. They iiave
proven by their past records to 'be

er assembled, carrying off three
world's series In the past four yetrs.
They are now facing a team in the

ed ene of the greatest records ever

won 26. giving them a percentage
landing of .394 against the leaders
New York, whose standing was
.625, a difference of 231 points be

In two months following they played
(0 games, winning 39 and lofting on
ly 11, thereby overtaking and pass
ing the leaders this has proven to
have been one of the greatest feats
In baseball.
The standing of the teams on July
Sth was like this:
Club W. L. Pet.
New York 40 24 .625
Chicago 40 32 .556
St. Louis 37 36 .507

Such a record cannot be overlook
ed in going Into the present series.
Stalling used In this race for the
National League pennant three pit
rbers, Rudolph, James and Tyler.
What they will be able to accomplish
gainst the hard hitting Athletics re
mnins to be seen as the first two
ga-r.es are scheduled in Philadelphia.
I look fo ran even break. The
Athletics to lake the first and the
Braves the second, with Plunk and
Bcuang and Tyler and Gowdy to 1
tart the opening game in the serleB. '
I look for a hard and long drawn out
light and I pick lloston to win.

Although potato harvest has been
In progress for almost two weeks,
there is no commercial demand as
yet, and very tew are being hauled
to town. No foreign buyers have
been In Hemlngford yet this fall,
and It la not known at thla time Just
what the spud market will be. From
some cause, potatoes are not quite
as ripe as is usual at this time of
year, and this may be the reason for
the Inactivity of the market.
