Classed as n club of second-division caliber from the start, the Car dinals have upset all calculations by stepping into the pennant race with a winning stride, and today they arc in second place, close on the heels of the New York Giants. .Miller Hugglns's entry won eight games and lost three, while the Giants, in first place with-six vic tories and two defeats, might be trailing the Cards today had they played as many' games. Whether or not the Cardinals can hold the fast pace they have set re mains td be seen, hut at present they are playing bang-up ball. Boston and Chicago are aiding the Giants and Cardinals in setting the National League pace. In the American League, three teams that were universally picked as contenders occupy the first three niches in the percentage columns. They arc the White Sox, Hcd Sox and Yankees. The Detroit club has surprised American League fans by the poor start it has made. A fa nrablc comparison of all teams in the two big leagues cannot be made, however, until the intersectional se ries get under way.
