Il. Beyond question the miniature panic
resulting from the two defeats at

radically by the fact that II was the
tail-end club OF the league which was
the victor on each occasion. Detroit

Nationals that II Is difficult TO see
where the Cantillonites, of all clubs,
have a right to do any trimming OF
4 the consecutive character. Neverthe.
less II Is a doubtful matter II Wash

least two of the other eastern clubs

did not deserve TO lose as large per-
centage of their games as has been

the team in a far better position In the

weakness in either the inheld or the

some good luck coming now. II need

than their position in the race and IT'S
= rood bet they won't be occupying the
\ eub-cellar when the finish OF the 1903
race arrives.
