GIANTS GIVE UP
REMNANT HOPES
New York Counting ON Finishing
Third in Each
League.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.--Sot in sew
eral seasons has a series of games
between the New York and Chicago
National League teams aroused less
interest than the one that begins to-
day in the Western city. This is an
other way OF saying that New York
fans have put their pennant hopes in
camphor until next season.
Mpggsy" McGraw held out encour-
agement as long as he could, and
even now he contends that the
Giants still have chance" But the
fans know differently. and their only
speculation now is as TO the winner
of the worlds series between the Chit
cago Cubs and Philadelphia Athletics.
Eesoite McCsraw's tip that Chicago will
win the series with ease, there Is q
lot OF tentative betting in New York
on Macks team. Should Chicago be
a favorfte when the series opens.
there will be a flood of New York
money on the short end.
New York is now counting on fin-
ashing third In each league. The
Giants are two and half games be-
hind Pittsburg and the HiHhlanders
two games behind Boston, so there ia
yet chance for the New York teams
to finish as runners up in their re-
spective leagues. Both Pittsburg and
Boston, however. are playing in great
form at present, and are conceded to
have the edge on their Gotham rivals.
