...handicapped by an injury to hardhitting Centre-fielder George William ("Mule") Haas. They still have a powerful offense, headed by Catcher Gordon Stanley ("Mickey") Cochrane, First-baseman James Emory ("Jimmy") Foxx, Outfielder Aloysius ("Al") Simmons, and the best pitching staff in either league. Best right-hander is George Livingston Earnshaw, Swarthmore graduate (1923). Best left-hander is Robert Moses Grove, who last week won his 30th victory of the season, an American League record.

They have a prime staff ot pitchers, each a specialist at beating certain teams, notably Grove for New York, Waiberg for Washington. Earnshaw, star righthander, starts against anybody. Great hitters, they are not incomparable in the field but they get along...
