The Toronto club gets Markle Land Brady as soon as waivers can be obtained, while Richmond draws Keating and Boone. Markle is likely to find himself and pitch good ball if he is worked regularly. Keating could never .go more than six or seven innings without losing his "liquid fire" and exploding. 6 The Toronto fans, though, are finding a néw solace in the hitting of McTigue. What he did in phat fifteen-inning game against Buffalo is history. Three doubles and two singles in six times up is some hitting for a pitcher. ies previously he came through with long 'hits in other series. when used in the. pinches.

John Coombs, the veterdm right- | | winning John is too} with a methmatical twist, has fig- ured out that since 1876 eastern clubs have won twenty-five pennants and western clubs fifteen. Accord- ing to, his figures the grand average of eastern pennant winning percent- ages is .667 while that of the 'west- ern clubs is .705. The highest among eastern clubs was made by Providence in 1884 with .750, and the lowest~by Philadelphia last sea- son when the Phillies won the pen- nant with 592. Among the west- ern clubs Chicago's average of .798 Ih 1880 is high and Detroit's .637 in i887, low. ° ' He also points out that, with one exception, eastern and western clubs have won pennants in groups of two three or.five :years as follows: 1877-79, east; 1880-82, west; 1883- '84, east; 1885-87, west; 1888-1900, east; 1901-03, west; 1904-05, east; 1906-10, west; 1911-15, east. In view of the fact that with one exception there has never been a sectional stretch of more than five years he rather expects to S60 8 Waniord club gome through and vin the 1 pennant with a driving finish. He is willing to concede, 'however, that if this occurs, the win- ner will fall considerably below the average of winning western clubs of 8 /' Outing ~~ Footwear { Men's White Canvas Shoes and Oxfords, rubber soles and heels, $2.50, $3.00, and $3.50.
