From the first the encmy's tactics

in Darlington there was living oppo

Close to the goal posts Babbington

 The Athletics have three more games in Cleveland if yesterdays rain game is tn be played off. while New York has a couple more games In St. Louis.
 It's stlll a toss-up In both leagues, though if the Cubs can land their games with the Reds or three of them anyway--it looks like they have a chance for the top. for tbe Phlllies are playing a strong game now. Cleve- land ought not to have any trouble heating the Athletics and by Wednes- day night they should be in tha lead. for Washington will come pretty near taking one of the games from Detroit. The White Sox seem to be up agaipsc something fierce with Boston bat by taking both ends of the double bill from the Doves they will be pretty close to the top. New York Is play

New York nosing them out in the second by a score of 2 to 2.
 The Giants have couple more games at the Polo grounds with the Phlllies and from yesterdays game 1t looks bad for McGraw's crowd The Cubs have four games in Cincinnati beginning to-day and they should help Chances crowd some. Pittsburg has three games with St. Louis in Pitts burg beginning to-day and the Car dinals have beon easy marks all along.
 The Tigers have couple more games with Washington in Detroit and the chances are that the Senators
