BREWERS HAVE FAIR
CHANCE FOR REMNANT
Expect to Overtake Mime
apoIis While Away From
Home Grounds.

MILWAUKEE. Wis., August 1o-The
Brewers have started in on what is really
their last stay at home, with an inter-
mission of ten days in the west. when
they go to meet the Twin City teams
and Kansas City. They have twenty
six more games at home, running now
until August 10. with the eastern teams
and winding up with the three west
ern teams September 10, ST Paul being
the opposing club.
Manager McCloskey expects to win
big majority Of these twenty-six games
arG have a good lead when they leave
for their last swing through the east
ern end Of the circuit September H. I'm
less the Brewers have a good lead at
that time it is not expected that they
will have much chance of annexing the
pennant, for they will not be as we'll
prepared for hard work with Hostetter
out Of the game. Then, too, the Millers
may be up and fighting for the lead.
which will make it all the more difficult,
and Columbus is by no means out of the
race yet.
Brewers Have a Chance.
The Brewers have good fighting
chance and that is all. On the last trip
the Milwaukee team started out badly
at st. Paul and Minneapolis. losing four
out of five games to Mike Kelley's team
and three out of five to Mike Cantillon.
But for that setback they would have
done great work away from home. as
they made a wonderful showing with the
eastern teams, not counting Columbus. At
Kansas City the Brewers won two and
lost two; at Louisville they grabbed four
out Of FIVE; at Indianapolis they took
three out of four; at Toledo they won
three out OF five. while at Columbus they
lost three straight.
Minneapolis has been going along nicely
and is the one team that the Brewers are
afraid of at present. st. Paul may prove
dangerous for the leaders if Manager Mike
Kelley succeeds in bracing up the infield.
which he Is trying hard to do. Manager
Charlie Carr of Indianapolis has spent
big sum of money the last two weeks for
players and expects to get back into the
running, but 1t will take a long run of
victories to bring the Hoosiers to the top,
for there is only about six weeks left for
the teams to battle.
Colonies After Showing.
Louisville, under the new ownership of
Mr.. Grayson, wants to make a showing
and Is working hard, and the same can
be said of Toledo. AT Kansas City George
Tebeau is taking a new lease of life, for
he realizes now that it is all Kansas City
for him.
Every few days there are reports out
about the American Association invading
certain cities of the major leagues The
latest is from the home of Garry Herr
man (CincinnatD. and rumors have been
given out that the park is already Sc
cured. There is probably no truth to the
latter report, but there is good rea son TO
believe that the A. A. will make an at
tempt to enter Chicago next season, de-
mails to the contrary Notwithstanding The
A. A. will never be satisfied until they
get into the big city of the west, and all
movements of the A. A. magnates point
that way.
No Championship Talk.
Nothing has been done yet regarding
the arranging of a series Of games be-
tween the winners of the American Asso-
citation and Eastern League to decide the
big minor league championship. The play
ers are In favor of such a series of games
but will await action by the powers that
be.
Now that the American Association
race is nearing the end. the major league
scouts are seeking around for promising
material for their 1910 aggregation The
American Association is generally known
as the "try-out' league, and there have
