the first opportunity.
With the season half over We
are about due for few remarks on
the pennant possibilities Of the
teams comprising tie three major
organizations. With tha Gu b s
out in front III the National League
race and the team putting up as
good game as ever, it doesn't look
as if they could be overhauled.
The only teams which have the
slightest chance of doing SO are
Pittsburg and N ew York. But
both the Cubs and Pirates are
now entering upon long home
stands while the Giants are on the
road for ong trip and the teams
will likely finish in the order
named Chicago, Pittsburg, New
York. The American League race
is much more exciting and wiz
ard only could make a correct fore
cast Of the final results. One
thing is certain and that is that
four teams will be in the race to
the finish. They are Detroit, Ath-
letics, New York and Boston.
The Tigers are easily the best hit
ting team in the bunch and In the
last few weeks they have set hot
pace, but can they keep it up now
on their invasion of the three East
ern strongholjs? Ii the Athletics
make as good a record on their
present home stand as they made
on the last one, their grasp ON first
place will be so firm that only a
blowup on their part will put them
out of the race. The Highlanders
are sure to be contenders all the
way as they have great pitching
staff and ars hitting the ball con-
sistently. The Boston Red Sox
have met with reversee, due main
ly to having some of their best
players out Of the game either
through accident or sick e S.
w it Ii Mcconnell, Speaker and
Wagner out, the team is material
ly weakened, but with these men
back in the game and few victor
les, the team may be depended |
upon for a whirlwind finish. They
are only five games behind the
league leaders right now. They
are one of the best balanced teams
in the league and with good luck
breaking in their favor may be
counted upon to give the leaders
some uneasy moments.
A pennant for Minneapolis!
Somebody wants to know if that's
a joke? Well, you see they have
been going to win pennan, every
season for the last fifteen years
but have managed to stub their
toes along about the middle OF
each scason. ST your mind at
ease, Lr.ther, for We have a wire
direct from Joe Cantillon to the
effect that they have no intentions
Of stubbing their toes this year
and t. at the flag will wave over
Nico.let Par k next season. 1t
surely does look that way and
everybody in this neck of til e
woods is glad of it. The Millers
are the class Of the Association
and at this writing have won four
teen straight games which is the
seasons record in baseball. They
have broken up many game with
their hickory clubs, second base
man Jimmie Williams leading the
league in batting. For company
he has such siuggers as Clymer,
Cravath, Pickering aud Gill.
Some of these men are sure to go
back to the big leagues next year
as they have been putting up a
better game than ever The pitch
ing staff consists Of Hughes, Pat
terson, Alirock. Lelivelt, Fiene and
TannehilI. While none of these
may be termed sensational twirl-
ers they are steady bunch ana
dc not easily blow up. The Mill
city fans are nightly pleased with
the work Of the team and not since
the good cd days when Waltz
Wilmot. Germany Schaefer. Pop
Schriver, Bill Nance, Lefty Davis
Perry Werden. Willie Bill Hutch
inson and Jack Menefee were on
the job, have they turned out in
such numbers. And the Cantil-
Ions deserve success, for if they
