The rest of It Is now written on the slate, narring a terrific upheaval. Ty Cobb has regained his place at the top, rounding out bis tenth yenr of summit tenancy. Hut the affair between 119 White Sox and the lted Sox is still to bo concluded ln our next. White vs. Red l'p to a week ago we looked to the lted Sox for American League victory. We Mt ill believed this club, even when live nnd a half games behind, would hammer Its way lo the peak ngnln and enter its third world series In succession. When the White Sox lost three straight to the Ya.s and dropped two games In succession to the lied Sox, falling from a five-game lead into second place, the argu ment appeared to be oer. Hut the White Sox nre quite evidently nnt the White Sox of other years, In place of hi caking wide open, a natural se unci to losing such a lead within a week's time, Comlskey's team rallied, formed again and recaptuted the front line trenches with something to spare This series now looks to be the turning point of the race.
