per now, as after playing three more games
with Philadelphia, one of which is post
poned one, the Tigers must meet Washing
ton and St Louis. Both look easy, but both
are determined trouble makers. That De-
troit will do better than break even in the
games yet to be played is generally con-
coded.
This means a titanic struggle for the Ath-
letics who must meet Cleveland for three
games and then wind up in this city. Chi
cago has yet to finish its schedule at Bos-
ton play three games in New York and
then two with Cleveland on its home
ground
Should the Athletics and Detroit break
even in their present series, and then each
team win all it's succeeding games, Phila-
delphia would land the flag by three points.
The standings would be: Philadelphia .6l3;
Detroit GIG.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Today's game starts at o'clock, and
Joss and Oberlin may be on the firing line
for their respective teams.
Ganley and Altizer had a nice time fat
tening their batting averages. but poor
Del got left. although he placed two bingles
to his credit in the first game, when it
meant something to hit the ball.
Our one best bet got going again yester-
day. but the Sox will have to keep 1t up
all the way to be on top at the finish. 1t
all depends upon the games In Philade-
phia. If they are split up the Sox will still
have good chance to cop.
The Napoleons have evidently given up
all hopes of landing the flag. as they go

they came right back and hammered out
victory in the second, 9 to T. The locals
fielded in faultess style In both games,
not an error being charged against them.
but instead pulled off plays that brought
the large crowd to its feet with yells
of delight. The CIevelands alo fielded
well in the first. but in the second they
fell down three times. two of the misplays
being on easy chances.
Tom Hughes stacked up against Jake
ThieIman in the first game and the local
man had all the better of the argument
for eight innings In the ninth round
Hughes arm weakened and the Maps got
10 him for two singles and two doubles,
and three runs were chased over the rub

Hughes had the old "hoo-doO" working

three scattered hits in that time and only
one of them OF the clean variety In
seven of the innings he set the Maps
