FORMER PLAYER
MAY Be SENATOR
A. G. Spalding, at One Time
Star Baseball Pitcher, Lead
ing Fight in California.

While the baseball moguls from all over
the United States have been in session
in New York and their doirgs have been
OF great interest. II is nevertheless true
that the baseball fans" throughout the
United States have not lost sight OF the
fact that In California Albert G. Spald-
ing, one of the great organizers OF the
National league, an honorary member of
the league and a former king OF the
diamond, Is now engaged In the great
est battle of his life. and the question is
will he be able to strike them out as
in former days, or will they knock him
out OF the box In tho ninth inning? The
sena atorial baseball game that is now go
Ing on out on the coast Is between Spald
ing and the political opposition.
California has a primary law, and al
the last election Mr.. Spaldng. candidate
for the senatorshp. carried the majority
OF the districts. This did not please the
Lincoln Roosevelt -Lissner faction that
seem to be controlling politics In the
state so they are now doing their very
best TO knock the once famous baseball
pitcher out OF the box.
Al Spalding is a great flghter-all OF
his friends admit that. Those who have
watched his interesting career from the
beginning know he will never shirk a
battle. and he has with him In this sena-
torial fight an element that means VIC
tory for him. And if he does become
United States senator II will mean a
great deal for baseball and athletics in
the United States.

the southern foreign natures still sticks
IN this celebration and for a week care
rs thrown into the air and the god Of
pleasure rules the city, aptly termed
'the winter capital Of America. - The
automobile races are feature Of the
Mardi Gras as distinctive as the festiv.
tiles themselves. This year they will
he in conjunction with local dealers
show which will be put on in the same
grounds.
Already the work Of securing en-
tries has been given an impetus by the
assurance Of several companies which
have been prominent in the sport that
they will compete. Among the com.
panies which are new to the game, the
Case will make strenuous campaign
for the New Orleans honors. Lewis
Strang is manager of the Case team
and star driver and he has wired that
he will have three cars in competition.
1t will be the initial bow of the Case
people in such contests.
The speedway and road racing stars
of the past season are expected to
compete in the big events. Efforts are
now being made by which virtually
every star driver of America will be in
the races. The New Orleans represen-
tatives Of the companies are making
real battle for the racing teams with
every assurance of success AS re-
suit this seasons Mardi Gras racing
will surpass that of any in the past.
Already arrangements have been made
to scrape the track, oil it and make it
faster than ever, thus assuring the
breaking of records, as has been done
in the past.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Giants chance to make a cleaning comes this week. The pesky Cubs idle today, while McGraw's lads are further tanning the Docile Doves. Then to- morrow comes the clash at the Polo Grounds between the greatest rivals in the national pastime-McGraw and Frank Chance.
 The Giants are quite close enough to the leading Cubs to damage their pennant chances materially. Indeed, if the McGraW clan can win the ma jor part of the games with the Windy City terrors it should not be hard for the home pride to crawl pretty close to the lead before the Western clubs finish their junket in this neck of the woods.
 The Giants simply have to clean up on the Cubs if a National League pennant is to grace the Brush sta dium this Fall. The Pirates do not appear on the scene until the very last of the Western clubs. That leaves a breathing spell of St. Louis and Cincinnati in turn between the leaders and the worlds champions. The Pirates right now are more fear ed by the Polo Grounders than are the Cubs. Chicago is playing cratic ball. Pittsburg is plugging along steadily and is the club the Giants will have to beat if the Cubs stub a toe
 In the meantime the Yankees have a rather tough row to hoe out West. The Red Sox have less than a full game's advantage over the Kilties, and will do we'll to hold that very long. Boston visits Detroit while New York is in Cleveland. The Blues have given Stallings very little trouble this season, while Detroit is almost invin- cible on it's own lot so far as the Speed Boys are concerned. New York goes from Cleveland to Detroit-the only apparently formidable town on the trip, so far as past dope is con cerned. If Jim Vaughn is right when the Highlanders hit the City of the Straits Stallings should just about even the seasons account with the Tigers.
 Connie Mack's Athletics still hold about the same advantage in the American League as the Cubs in the
