'he Line Of Sports dIer of the American Leaiue Race Close of the Cleveland and New York seem to be! vhich na- still playing a game of~tag in the race; been, en- for the American, league pennant. e Univer- vas learn- Neither team is able to gain a sub- ounder of stantial-lead and keep it. As'a rule the leaders are separated by a margin of els, adu- only a few points. Cleveland's great tley post, pitching staff, which proved superiorI legion,at to that the Brooklyn Dodgers in the , a chart- last world's series, has fallen down American badly, but Manager Speaker has done o. 1, and admirably in keeping his men in the .zation is thick of the fight. Coveleskie has been upmem-Speaker's greatest aid and, provided' with strong hitting, the team has man- aged to worry along with a weak pitching staff. Many teams would trade moundsmen -Football with the Indians, but for a team to win rsity will the pennant with the present corps is ty coach,- almost without precedent. The White ing to an Sox were the "hitless wonders" back . Murray, in the days of 1906, '07, but they won ill be ten because nobody in the circuit could hit one for Ed Walsh or Doc White. A two run he fresh- lead for the Sox then with Walsh or White in the box was safe, but times t as head have changed with Cleveland. In a ck, track game against the lowly Athletics Wed- trainer. nesday, Stan. Coveleskie, the Indians' DARE hope, fell in tw\o rounds while Phila- delphia made five runs.. Caldwell, a former Yankee castoff, came to the) rescue and succeeded in holding the Mackmen while Cleveland pounded out 15 runs and 20 hits. More hitting was demanded by the public, and they got it.. It formerly took the White Sox about three games of heavy hitting to amass 20 hits, yet they won their games. Is the cause of heavy hitting the live ball, or does it go in streaks, as Cobb claims it does? If his theory is correct then we may expect again to see the old 2 to.1 games, now a treat in the majors. Pirates Hold Lead Pittsburgh now ocupies first place . in the National league by a safe mar- gin of five games, while the Boston Braves who were pressing New York for second place took a sudden set- back when the lowly Cubs annexed double header from them. Pittsburgh has been playing an excellent brand of baseball, and with Babe Adams and Wilbur Cooper- have held their -early lead. Should the Pirates win the pennant, Babe Adams will again perform in a world series. Detroiters know how well Babe pitched in 1909, but to fea- ture in the world's series .of 1921 will be unique. Few pitchers have come back like Adams. Whether the old master still has the same stuff on the ball is questionable, but he succeeds in outwitting the batters. Aside from Cooper, Adamus, and Maranville on short, the Pirates do not look as strong on paper as the Giants, and even Mar- anville is hardly on a par with Ban- croft. Should New York win, the world's series will develop into a city series between the New York teams; the second in history. Suzanne to Meet Mola Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen, champion woman tenins player of the world, and' Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory will again contest for supremacy before the French net expert leaves America. Mlle. Lenglen was taken ill with bronchitis while playing a match with Mrs. Mallory at Forrest Hills, New York. The American expert had al- ready taken the first set 6-2 when her French opponent was taken sick and forced to default the match. "' During a recent meeting in France Mrs. Mallory, national woman's cham- pion, met defeat by Mlle. Lenglen. Since acquiring her world's title Mlle. Lenglen has planned a trip to Am- erica to meet the American players. A number of women players have been practicing to regain the title lost by Mrs. Mallory. She seems superior to other American women, however, and in the first tournament on this side for the French girl a default resulted. Mrs. Mallory has promised Mlle.Leng- len another match. and are or are not obvious, depending on the point of view. Not So Very Black I am forced to agree with you, Grad, G. D. E. is not as black as he is painted. As far as I can make out he has only one fault which I hasten to state: 1. He is a bore. Wait, gentle Grad, be not wroth, I hasten to explain! His style is as weighty as-as---well, as weighty as Johnson's. One tires visibly after having read a few lines. Even the extraordinary words do not keep the mind of the reader awake. So, you see, I have not been harsh with G. D. E. He has one very in- teresting bit of originality in his make- up. You see, Grad and R.., D. S., I shall be perfectly fair, and present both sides.. Our boy has the faculty of creating words which have never been used before-very expressive words, too, and their originality is but one of their virtues. They have never been placed on paper before, except by Mencken, and perhaps, Nathan. Never Reads Critique But wait, I forget, I ramble. G. D. E. has one other fault. It is strange that I never thought of it before. I will apologize by saying that I never read the Critique past paragraph number one before I saw all these interesting letters. "Enough," as G. D. E. says in his characteristic fashion.' The fault, to be brief, is that he doesn't say any- thing. He just has a good time, and tells us about it. He had just the best little time in the world reading all those pretty colored books by Knut Hamsun, and he wants his readers to know all about it. That is why I think all this column-filling to be foolish. They the stepping on our boy because of his boyish enthusiam! I hope, Grad and R. D. S., that I have helped you two out in stopping all these naughty things they are saying about G. D. E. A SYMPATHIZER. P. S.-But there is one thing that I must know. What on earth is im- papyrated garbage? Where can I get, some? Is it ancient? I hope that G. D. E. will read as far as this before he becomes too flattered, and will make repfy to my question in his next Crit- ique.

This swat is described as being the longest one ever hit during the his-' tory of the national game. It was a dead line for right center, and not a Chicago outfielder made a move for it, knowing moves were useless. About the time Babe reached second it sail- ed over the bleachers, out near the scoreboard. It is estimated that the ball hit the ground on the field at a distance of about 475 feet from home plat.
