Boston is now at the top of the table,
with just two points to the good. Balti-
more dropped game to St. Louis Thurs
dsv and the next day Boston got two
victories in an afternoon, which showed
them ahead. The race ia too close for
either club to make a blow, and there is
over a month of playing yet
The race is one of the prettiest in years.
II has been number of seasons since
there has been such close race between
the leading clubs as near the end of the
season as this. Boston is really two
games ahead of Baltimore, though it only
counts for as many points in percentage.
AS a factor in the Temple series New
York is now out of consideration. The
Giants continue to win games and are
putting up grand fight, but the lead of
Boston and Baltimore is too great to over
come. The Giants, however, will finish
an easy third, with room TO spare.
Cincinnati continues on down grade
and dropped thirty points in the last six
DAYS. If the Reds do not change their
course, they will yet have to be satisfied
with fifth place. Cleveland holds on to
fifth position, with a good lead over Chi
cago, which ends up the first division.
Louisville is but five points behind Chi
cago, and head the second division. An
other week ought to see the Colonies up a
peg. Chicago, Louisville, Brooklyn, Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg and Washington are
punched within sixteen points, and there
is a possibility of va general shaking up
before another week has gone. St. Louis
is still hopelessly lost.
The standing of the clubs to date is as
foiOWs.

BICYCLING ACROSS AUSTRALIA.
Peculiar Advantages of the wheel i'm
That Strange Continent.

Ahht strange Continent.
From the New York Mail and Express
The island-continent of Australia has
lately been crossed by cyclists in double
sense, for the tracks of the pneumatic tire
now extend from west to east and from
south to north, intersectlng at point a
few miles north of Adelaide, South Aus
tralia 1t is not half dozen years since
such journeys would have been regarded
as hazardous enterprises even for the ex-
perienced bushman, and though Lord
Kintore accomplished the transcontinental
trip during his tenure OF office as governor
of South Australia, he was accompanied
by a camel train, a score of well-armed
and determined attendants and all the
paraphcrnalia of the professional explorer
Yet, within the past three months, no less
than three solitary cyclists, all of them
practically unarmed have safely covered
thousands of miles of trackless Wilderness
peopled with treacherous savages and
strewed here and there with the whitening
bones OF the unfortunates who have fallen
victims TO the pitiless sun or the spear Of
the aboriginal. The peculiar utility of the
bicycle for exploration purposes is abso-
lutely proved by these successful efforts
especially in such country as Australia
where the scarcity of water is the most
deadly and most powerful enemy of the
pioneer
The first rider to cross the central patch
OF Australia, where civilization has so
far, failed to penetrate was Frank Rich
ardson the eldest son of a medical man
at Port Augusta, South Australia, who
had for two years been residing In Cool

of his time and profited so much by his
experience on the virgin earth surround
ing the town that, toward the end of last
year. when the exemptions" We're grant
ed, he decided to spend his Christmas with
his family in Port Augusta, and take a
Short cut" across the continent on his BIZ
cycle. Richardson steered his way by a
compass toward the telegraph line which
connects eastern and western Australia,
and, picking this up after some days of
riding over stony and sandy ground,
through timber and scrub, and over the
beds Of dried lakes, he was enabled to ride
by stages between the govt tanks sunk at
intervals for the repairers. Here and
there were outlying huts of some few
sheep stations, possessing millions of
acres of area, and there were along the
line some half dozen telegraph stations
in charge of solitary operators. From one
to another of these Richardson made his
way, safely crossing the terrible piece of
ground known as Eyre's sand patch, which
consists of thirty miles of loose, undulat-
ing sand hills. and reached the border Of
South Australia without mishap. Three
parts of the journey were now accomplish
ed, and Richardson. keeping close TO the
coast line of the Great Australian blight
was able, as he put it, to eat his Christ
mas dinner at Port Augusta without hav-
ing received the slightest injury to either
himself or his machine.
