By this a the middle of the
season has arrived ‘Wiill perhaps
plenty of hot weather which is liable
to sap the strength particularly of
some ot the high strung players who
usually are the stars oi the team.
Added to all this the uncertainty
or the game plays a. very important
part. With a tow lucky hits by on-
Iponcnts and some excusable errors
in the lipid some games may be lost
by a. one. or two run margin.
We remember one particular in-
stance whcn the old Phillies beat
Fred Clark‘s Pirates by a score of
seven to six in which game Pitts-
burgh got 15 hits and the Phillies
only six. but four of these hits came
in the final inning. the last one being
‘zl home run by Elmer Flick with
three men on bases.
This combination of reasons why
teams may or may not win is the
real reason why the prognostieators
or pennant winners write as many
“its", in their predictions.
_ The White Box last season lost a
”game by one run-to Cobb’s Tigers in

three circus catches on line drives all
