In many respects the week Just closed was oi'7
Of the most important Of the season TN the W'I'u
OF sports Three fixtures of International m
portance served to arouse widespread interest
that was not confined to the particular branches
OF sport involved. Harvard was decisively
beaten by Cambridge IN the eight-oared shell
race on the Thames River in England. and
while the defeat was disappointing TO those who
had been counting on victory as a result OF Hat
tering news from the training quarters. much
credit is due the American Oarsmen for Plucky
fight under conditions and surroundings that
necessarily favored the home crew. The CORN
THAN association football team OF England COM
pleted its tour OF this country BY two easy VIC
tories on Staten Island over the strongest teams
that could be put in the field. This was eX-
enough hOd here TO make IL possible fOr US 70

PROFEssIoNAL RAsEBALL.


The whole baseball world is looking on while
the New York American League team is max
ing history. The Highlanders have now won
fifteen straight games and have not only cut
down what appeared to be a commanding lead
Of Chicago. but have actually forced their way
into the lead Their margin on Saturday night
was only eleven points. but it is lead that will
be hard 10 overcome IL they continue TO play
the same high quality OF baseball The feat Of
winning fifteen straight games. ten OF which
were in dOuble-headers. has set the followers Of
the team wild with delight. With four more
victories the Highlanders will equal the record
OF nineteen straight games. which brought Chi
cago 10 the top with a rush some two weeks
ago. while five more would equal the worlds
record Of twenty straight games. made by Prov
tdence in 1884. The record OF the old CinCin-
natl Reds, who played through a whole season
without a defeat in 1876. IS not considered. ;
new worlds record the Highlanders must win
every game this week. and IL is not improbable.
as Boston and Washington viii be the opposing
teams Unless something unforeseen happens
the American League pennant now rests be-
tween New York and Chicago. Cleveland and
Philadelphia are out OF the running. unless the
leaders take an unexpected slump. The eX-
pertS as a rule favor Chicago the ultimate
winner that team has twenty-one games at
home and only five away 20 complete its sched-

at home. against twenty on the road This is
distinct handicap for the local PLAYERS but
not necessarily one which cannot be overcome.
