Covaleski Breaks Into Game for
Quakers and Beats
New York.
BY g. A. FALZER.

- ENERAL McGRAW had to sur
" render Port First Place to Chi
cago yesterday. The Napoleon
of the New York brigade withstood the
siege as long as possible, but the blow
finally fell. With h army of Phila-
delphia attacking from one side and
the Chicago division stor1ning from the
rear the old fort had to crumble, and
McGraw was compelled to hand over
his sword to Francois Chance, the
leader of the Cubs.
The margin separating the teams In
the National League campaign is only
one point, but that one point has put
New York down to second place, Inc 1t
may be enough TO give Chicago the
pennant. The switch in the standing
occurred as a result of yesterdays
games. While the Cubs walked over
the Cincinnati team, the Giants gained
only an even break in the double
header with Philadelphia. Hence the
change.
Well sir, those Gotham fans were
so surprised over the outcome you
could have knocked them down with a
whisp of hay. With M~athewson pitch
ing, the Giants put away the first
game easily, 6 to 2. The Quakers had
landed on Christopher for nine full
grown bingles, including four doubles.
but while the fans had considerable
respect for Murray's Friends" they
were cocksure of poclxeting the second
game as we'll.
And when Umpire Klein announced
the batteries before the second game.
"Covaleski and Jacklitsch, for Phla-
delphfa,'' why there was nothing to 1t,
they thought. Everyone snickered at
the labels of the battery. We'll soon
| knock Covaleski out Of the boxsky,"
was the cry that went up from the
stand. The other end of the battery.
Jacklitsch, was switched before the
game, and Catcher Doom, who was In
jured in the first serimmage, again
limped out to his position.
Covaleski never waivered under the
fusillade of taunts hurled at him by
the fans. He just moved down the
Giants in one, two. three order in the
first, and, furthermore, the McGraw-
ties scarcely fouied the ball during the
first -four innings. The Pole, for such
he was, had fine control. and served
UP a brand Of mystifying curves. To
make a long story short. he let the
league leaders down with three hits
and shut them out, yes, shut them out
7 to 0.
The Phillies, on the other hand
pounded Crandall and Taylor for a
total of twelve hits and Covaleskl
himself contributed a clean three

Don't begin by running twenty miles

And work, not so SO much for speed

of the tag games, and my playing o.
this racing game, bears out my belief

the gait and set a stiff pace. I ran a

hind the winner. 1t was the closest
Marathon ever run. for the last man

the winner. So, you see, I had every
reason to be confident that would wiz
the Olympic Marathon.
The runner who trains this way feels
always fit as a fiddle. I feel fine and
dandy all the time. The athlete lives
while other men exist.
