Spurt , Yankees' Slump May Develop Race

Interest in American League Circuit Perks Up as Wind-up Nears. NATIONAL CLUBS BATTLE Four-Cornered Fight Excites Baseball Fandom. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—There may be two “hoss races” in the major leagues before the dash into the world’s series has been finished. One now is under way in the National League and there is no telling what may happen in the American loop. Only five garnet, separate the four leading teams in the National and not one of the four can definitely be counted out of the race at this time. Not Too Sure With a lead of about twelve games, the Yankees seem to be secure n the American League, but the Detroit Tigers, with a belated start, are showing all symptoms of madness, and twelve games have been known to melt away in the it of the.final dash to the tape. e Yanks opened a three-game series in Detroit today. With his imposing lead and a ball club that has been classed with the old Baltimore Orioles, Miller Huggins has two things to be thankful for. It was a break for the Yankees the Washington Senators and Detroit Tigers got away to miserable starts, and it was a bigger break that Buster Gehrig suddenly realized his ambition to become a great ball player. Lose Four in Row But the Yanks now are in the throes of a terrible slump. They have made a season’s record for themselves by losing four straight games. The Giants are only about five games behind the leading Cubs in the National League, and the Giants have enough games remaining with the Cubs and the Pirates to whittle down the lead to the handle. The Giants are not out of the race, and neither are the Cubs, Pirates and Cards, but the Cubs have the advantage in finishing on thehome grounds. S. H. S.
