CAicheFs. ThelF E'hyulquss and Needs.

The three home baseball teams have
finished another series with the Western
teams. ana it cannot hs said that much en-
cOuraRement can be derived from that
series for al three Of the Greater Neu
York combinations. THIS applies 10 thu
Giants more than 10 the two others. The
New York Americans didn do a. vel
In the West a. the first part Of the trip indi-
cated. but they didn slump By a good deal.
They showed abilhy 10 make a still hRht
away from home and all things considered.
are returning this week with a reputation
Of being able to stand the campaign
strengthened rather than weakened by the
test Of series IN the West. a test looked
| forward TO with anxiety. They might have
done better IN the Last two series. but they
are coming back with their own confidence
undiminiahed and In a good position 70
stay W near the TOP.
! The BrOOklyns seem 70 be a team which
viii get better a. the season goes along
They play like an aggregation Of con-
siderable potential strength and showed
q good deal Of class In the series Just nm
ished against the West Whethsr they
are suiicisntiy seasoned and moulded "a
Work their way into the first division u
extremely doubtful, especially with the
start the other teams have on them. but
they have developed into a hard team TO
beat and are playing . much sitter Artisls
Of baseball than in tho fret month and a
half Of the season. II their present gOOi
clip proves 10 be iust a momentary spur
and they don't keep up their present stand
ard then q good many persons hereabOuts
will b. disappointed a. we'll a. fooled In
sizing them up
While the Giants are still second and have
a. good a chance for the pennAnt a. they
ever had 30 far a. percentages are con.
cerned Il is plain that they are not play
ing pennant ball on the field Il isn't the
defeats and victories that have mattsred
IN the recent home stay Of the Giants a.
much ~ their actual ball playing while
winning and losing. Fast. reliable play
has been the exception and not the rule
With the New Works Of late They put uD
more bad games than good ones The,r
play ha-n Z been a. consistent or a. impress
sNe ~ before they went away In pre-.
viOus years they always have been resource
FOL IN pulling out Of bad spells and that lust
nov il the principal basis for the hope that
they Nii again get together for some
thing more than occasional strong play
Dor that matter none OF the three first class
National League clubs Of last year. the Cubs.
Giants and Pirates. have shown the form
this wear they did last year The Cubs and
Pirates aren going along - fast or steadily
by good deal. and a. somebody aptly
observed the Cubs are ahead Of the Giants
because the latter have played worse ball
than the leaders Just the same the Cubs
are in the lead, and a. they have survived
an Eastern trip without losing any ground
Il won he an easy matter TO take L away
rom them Certainly they have PLAYED
better hall than any other National league
team. bui not a. good a. last year not
VET a. any rate The only National League
teams that are playing better than lat
year are ne Brooklyns. Cardinals and
