STANDING OF THE CLUBS
National League

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The relative
positions OF the New York and Chicago
National league clubs was unchanged
by the playing of two games each to-
day, as New York defeated Cincinnati
in both games and Chicago defeated
Brooklyn twice in a double header
The result leaves the New York club
with one point advantage over Chi
cago in the race for the pennant, the
percentage OF games won being as fol-
lows:
New York-.634.
Chicag ago-.633
NEW YORK, Sept 26.-Steadied by
Mathewson's strong right arm, the
New York team today atoned in part
for yesterdays double header defeat
by landing a double header victory
from Cincinnati, the scores being 6 to
and 3 to 1. The $4,000 spectators
who had followed the plays with great
enthusiasm left the fields at the close
convinced that New York can win the
pennant, for the complete reversal of
its unattractive form of yesterday
seemed TO indicate that Manager Nc
Graw was right when he expressed the
opinion this afternoon that the set
back resulting from putting in the box
the new pitchers would be easily over
come.
But Chicago's duplication of her
double victory with Brooklyn means
that New York must put up a high
grade of baseball in the remaining IL
games it has to play. Chicago has but
six games more to play before the end
of the season.
Mathewson's pitching was the fea-
ture of the first game. There was
never any doubt what the result would
be. In the second game Tenney lined
out home run. Score:

BROOKLYN, Sept. 26.-Every one of
the $4,000 people who witnessed the
two games played today between the
Chicago and Brooklyn teams was i'm
pressed with the clean cut work Of the
worlds champions. Manager-Captain
Chance selected Reulbach to pitch the
first game with King behind the bat
That he made no mistake in his choice
was fully proven by the 5 to 0 shutout
scored by Reulbach. and Chance sent
the same battery back to work in the
second game. Reulbach did not seem
TO be a bit tired He played his posi-
tion so effectively that a 3 to o shut
out was the result. Superb baseball
in every detail was played by the vis-
itors and the only one to make a mis-
play was Reulbach in the second CON
test. He received errorless support by
ell his eliminates. Scores:
