Standing of the League.

The Giants caused the biggest SEN
sation Of the season in Twilight circles
when in what was probably the pref
test and fastest game yet played they
made the fast Car-wi-cos extend
themselves to the utmost to win by a
z to score. The splendid improve
ment the Giants have made was a sur
prise to every one. 1t was known
that they had improved a great deal
since the season opened, but it was
not thought that they could yet hope
to make it so interesting for the old
time Athletics. The boy leaguers
themselves were terribly surprised and
more than once were in serious straits,
but pulled through each time in
splendid style. A fine crowd was out
to see the fun, and they certainly re-
cetved a treat Interest was keen
throughout and not until the last man
was down was 1t certain who would
be the final victor.
Lewis. the Giants's young phe-
nomenon, was pitted against Shut
tleworth Of the Car wi-cos, and they
both worked like trojans. Lewis had
four strike-outs, yielded three hits
Zone scratch), walked one man and
but for two errors in succession be-
hind him should have had a shut out.
Shuttleworth struck out eight, yielded
three hits, two passes and was charged
with one wild pitch. Only good sup
port and reckless base running saved
him from some tight places. However,
his work in pinches was by far the
best yet seen and his teams victory
can be directly charged to this. Three
different times the Giants reached
third, once with none down and twice
with only one. Then Shuttleworth
mercilessly moved his opponents down
and there was nothing doing for them.
A single In either case might have
won the game, but it was not forth
coming.
The Car-wi-cos first run came in
the second, when B. Anderson scratch
ed for a ticket to first, reached third
on two passed balls and scored on
Herbert Whites safe bingle to right.
Their second came in the fifth, when
Fl. White drew pass, went to second
on Jackson's error, third on Arm
strong's error and scored on Shuttle
worth's long sacrifice fly. Davidson
made long sensational catch of this
and threw beautifully to the plate to
catch White, but by a hairs breadth
the nifty third sacker slid safe across
the pan. The play brought the fans
to their feet in excitement and many
regretted that it failed by such close
margin.
Jake Jackson's sensational hitting
came near breaking the Car-wi-cos
one thousand per cent, but Shuttle
worth was invincible to the others who
followed him.
B. Anderson also hit safe in two
times up and his and Herbert Whites
good work secured Car-wi-cos runs.
Both teams deserve to be congratu-
lated for the fine work, and especially
the Giants. Jackson, Gibson, G. Hoff
man and Davidson starred for them,
while Lewis's pitching against the
strong Car-wi-cos was a record hard
to equal.

Mr.. Murphy says that he is aston

proud of the state of Florida and he
resents the intimation that West Flor

he says, than any other section of Flor
