National Pennant Race
Closest in History
Big Larry Mclean Wants to
Quit Catching and Play
First Base

The race this year for the National
league pennant Is giving some of the
old boys something to shout for. With
four -Pittsburg, New York, Chi
eago and Philadelphia-all within
grabbing distance of the rag, and Gin
cinnati no slouch in fifth place, the
contest is the prettiest the old league
has seen in its long history. National
league pennants have always been
copped by safe margins The famous
old Chicago Red SoX the BostonS, the
Baltimore Orioles, Brooklyn and in late
seasons Pittsburg, New York and Chi
cago, all had walkoyers.
Eastern baseball scribes who derided
McGraw's chances early in the season
are reversing the tune nowadays. With
Matthewson, McGinnity and Wiltse
ever We're, the Giants look better than
the. Pirates, who are being boosted
mainly by the wonderful batting OF
Wagner and Roy Thomas. Internal dis
sension in the Chicago team has
dropped it in the hole, temporarily at
least. Murray's Phillies must be reck-
oned with They have played con-
sistent game all season and are en-
tering the home stretch with their
belts cinched up to. the last notch.
That sterling and rare athlete, Larry
Mclean, is going to drop the catching
game for good. Listen to this Woe
some story Mac confided to a Porktown
scribe last week:
Me to drop the big mitt game.
There amt nothin' in it, Hardly a
game ever passes but / amt bunged
up somewhere-ge smashed on the
fingers or shins maybe with a foul tip,
or a spit ball caroms off my knuckles.
There's harder work TO catching and
less appreciation than any other posi-
tion on a team. Nix after this season.
Me for first base. I'll make 'em all
hustle there and show EN- what l can
do with the big stick.
Ty Cobb's wedding has stirred up a
merry rumpus in the Detroit team,
never an easy bunch to manage. The
rest of the boys are grabbing at Ty
for choosing the middle OF the season
to wed.
Three "Cysv are pitching for the Bos-
ton Anericans-Cy Young, Cy Morgan
and Cicotte.
Buttons Briggs, the former Cub and
Cincinnati pitcher has struck the to-
boggan for sure. Briggs has just been
released by the indianapolis team of
the American association for failing to
get in conditions
1t has leaked out that the reason for
the sickness of Big Bill Burns of
the Washington Americans is that an
other eX-Coaster, Bob Ganley, intruded
his fists amongst the facial proportions
of Mr.. Burns following an argument in
the clubhouse. Joe Cantillon says this
yarn is all to the bad.
Burns Just went out from an at
tack of malarial fever" said Cantillon.
Hes had it in his system for several
months"

HAZY ON TURKEYS
The senator was also let into the
delusion that he knew something about
the subject he was discussing, and
claimed that the white turkeys were
actually wild birds, but demonstrated
how little he knew of turkeys wild or
tame by stating that the eggs of his
white birds were not like those of the
wild turkey. not knowing that the
tame turkey was the descendant Of
the Mexican wild turkey and therefore
must produce the same kind of eggs

OF Irish potato growth. Not only had
the plant fruited at the roots below the
ground, but also on the stalk all the
way up, fully foot and half above
the ground. At the juncture OF al
most every little limb to a larger stalk
was potato, varying in size from a
hen egg down to small marble. The
stalk was fairly clustered with these
potatoes. Mr.. Jones says that the
