American leaque.

Connie Mack's Athletics are forging ahead in the American league race, and have d slight advantage over the Detroit Tigers. but the other two factors in the race. Cleveland and Chicago, are clinging to the heels of the leaders, and will put an element of doubt in thesSe- lection of the pennant winner until the gong sounds the finish.
 Detroit has been going at a terrific gait lately. but Jennings seems to have heen over-confident during the last few games, and lost enough to lose the lead. The Athletics have had few postponed eames to play off in the past week, and bv keeping well together the team won several extra and stole the lead from De- troit
 The pace is killing for the two fore r,ost teams and by virtue of the luck In baseball and unforeseen accidents, Chicago or Cleveland is likely to step in at any time and stop the head long career of the runaways
 rho Athletics have the advantage of nlavinr on the home grounds now, but DeAr,ft has few more games on home grounds. which will be vastly exciting and there is little doubt that the Tigers will win majority Of them
 AWAY from home Detroit plays almost as well and will make an extremely strong bid for that pennant.
 According to the dope on the last two weeks playing the race lies between the teams. Philadelphia and Detroit. with Chicago and Cleveland as mere runners up. Detroit looked like winner last week at the gait the team was going. but the Athletics are looming up again with finish at home and may win. but Detroit Is still foremost factor and

National League.

There is not the slightest interest in the National league race. Chicago has too great a lead to be overcome and the only fight Is for second place, which will very clearly be taken by Pitts burg, unless the Giants accomplish won ders before the season ends. John J. McCloskey's St. Louis bunch is making things mighty interesting for the heavy weights and has a team that will figures in next years race but will cut little figure in the race now on as the end Is too near.
 Bugs Raymond will help the Cardi- nals in spite of the fact that he lost thel first game he figured in. Last week the writer inadvertently got Bugs in Me Aleer's staff which was inexcusable, but. the mistake was not hurtful.

 The guests spent a delightful evening and merrily passed the hours that were left for them to remain together, for to- day most of the team will be travelling towards their homes and the farewells may b1 final ones.
 During the evening Matthews stated that Pat Meany would manage next year s Sea Gulls and that while he would not be actively In charge he would come down in the spring to look over the punch that was to fight for the pennant of 1908.
