Chicago Team Discouraged,
and New Workers Should
Have Best of Series.
Especial 10 THIS Evening world.)

~ 'E''A
Chicago. Aug. I.
THE Giants are here to-day to battle
the Cubs for the lead In h tight
-Satlonal. League race. John Nc
Graw and his men landed here yester-
day morning from Pittsburg and had a
day OF rest while they watched the
Superbas trim the Cubs for tho third
straight time IN their series.
Frank Chance and his men received
the severest blow OF the season from
the Dahlenites. and as a result are TO-
day only a half game to the good on
the p!ttsburg Pirates, the latest candi-
date for the league honors.
The P~lttsDureers took two out Of three
games from the Giants while the Cub
were being trimmed three out o. four
games by the Trolley Dodgers, ara now
ii Is Fred Clarke and his Buccaneers
that are threatening to jump Into tho
lead at a moments notice.
So far this year the honors are even
between the Giants and the Cubs. In
the two former series the teams have
broken even. and the series that starts
this aftrnoon will be the crucial test or
the season between the oldtme rivals.
The Cubs are greatly discouraged over
the trimming they got from the Dodg-
ers, and the Giants should have the
best OF the coming battle unless the
locals brace up and aght with bette
spirit then thev have shown in the past
UeaK.
Tinker's Suspension Lifted.
All of the New York players watched

weak spots IN the play OF the leaders
and are prepared to attack them In the
vulnerable spots. The decentralization oil

Chance. The suspension - Joe Tinker
on SATURDAY was lifted yesterday and
the regular shortstop will be On tbs jot
again this afternoon.
A message was received from Johnny
Evers Yesterday saying that he would
ne here tomorrow ready To don fh'
spanglcs and stop the slump thet l.
threatening to cost the champions M
leadership in the league race.
It was bad news for McGraw whei
he heard that Tinker was to he re
lnstated and that he would be In hi
old position to-day. After watching tn
work of the Cubs yesterday the Giants
leader thought the local men would b

oun on the present trip, but with
Tinker In the battle line he does not
believe that It will be quite as easy.
The Brooklynites left here last night
In as happy a frame Of mind as 1t Is
possible for a team to be in. While
they do not expect to land any PEN
nant or even to win their way into first
division the Dodgers were as much
tickled over the fact that they trimmed
the leaders three straight games as II
they had already landed the wor'?'s
championship.
When Tinker failed to grab the easy
fly by Dauoert In the sixth ming on
Saturday and then talked back to Man
ager Chance when he was reprimanded
for his INSTRUMENTATION he was ordered
to the club house and after the game
a fne OF $50 and suspension for the
balance OF the season was handed him.
That little discipline seemed TO take
the heart out of the Cubs for yester-
days game and they played Ike a lot
OF school boys, but when the news was
spread around that Tinker had been re-
instated and the fine rcmitted there was
some CT the old fire seen IN the eyes
OF Che cubs and some of the old deter
m.nation to battle for the big honor.
Pirates In Second Place.
The Pirates have climbed into second
place In a hurry the past week. They
have lost only one game out OF thelr
last fifteen and the winning spirit has
permeated the whole team TO such an
extent that 1t Is going to be a hard
proposition 10 keep them out o! tho
lead, McGraw reports that the Pirates
are playing a strong game and that
they are really dangerous,
1T is a long way to the me OF the
season, however," remarked the little
leader OF the New Workers., and there
will he plenty of opportunities to head
the Plttsburgers of before the finish. ="
The chances are hat a pitching duel
will be staged between N~athewson
and Brown this afternoon. Chance hsi
been saving Brown for the first game
against the New Workers. and Z q
Christy's turn to so to the frins Zinc
for the visitors.
The interest In the series Is intense.
The advance sale OF seats has been PIX
ceedingly large even though the series
does come on the off lays OF the week,
The fact that the lead Ia again in jeop.
ardy has aroused the local ans TO a
higher pitch OF enthusiasm thar at any
time this summer. The sudden dror
in the playing Of the West Slders .ha
brought alarm to the followers and al
OF them are planning to be on hand tC
help ont with their cheers IL the on
p%ortunity presents itself to cheer.
Chance believes that the slump OF hi,
men Is at an end. The switch IN tho
batting order and the row with Tinke,
has shaken the members OF the team
out OF their drowsiness and they ar,
prepared 10 Hght az they know how u
