Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
GREENSBORO, n. c., April Awhile
the Giants were scooting across the piny
woods country from Atlanta to Green's
boro Sunday night the question Of the
championship arose, and 1t was evident
that every player on the team had the
pennant bee buzzing in his bonnet. At the
height Of the optimistic pow-wow Man
aeer McGraw spoke right out In school
and gave some of the prophets a jolt
that they are likely to remember for
some time to come.
81 think we've got a chance myself,
said McGraw, as he shot this one straight
from the shoulder. but you boys have
got to pay more attention to the little
details of the game or you'll flop. A
dozen games were lost last year just as
vo,, lost that one. In Atlanta Saturday.
and IL you'll figure it out that dozen OF
games would have won US the pennant II
the result had been reversed"
whats the idea, Mac?" asked Capt
Iarrv DOYLE. What have we been pull
ing this timer
"Why. you are the fellow who pulled
If Yourself" replied the manager. Il
sunnose YOU remember when you got
one base in the last inning and stole
second. That was all right in its way.
but you overlooked chance to wai'
to third and you stood there tied. There
were three balls on the batter and no
strikes. II you had watched close you
would have seen that the pitcher was
working himself to death to get q strike
over He would have taken no chances
on throwing to q base and he couldn.t
AFFORD to pitch out for the batter. as Y
would have been four balls. All you had
to do was to walk down to third: and II
the pitcher had seen you start 1t IL likely
that he would have got nervous and
pitched q ball instead Of q strike. You
failed to do II and died on second Those
are the things that q ball player should
watch. 1t IL the little things that count.
Pennant winners study those things"
Doyle Afraid to Take Chance.
"The reason I didn't start" explained
Doyle. was that I~was afraid to take
the chance. AZ there were two out and
We needed one run to win.''

EXPECT MR.. EVANS TO

Friends of United North and

P1NEHURST, N. c., April 4.-Charles
Evans, tr., the new united north and

entry for the British amateur cham
pionshfp at Prestwick during the week
Of May 20 is almost a certainty. but he
dislikes to make a positive statement
at the present time because of con-
tingencies which may prevent his trip
abroad.
The general impression among those
who saw Mr.. Evans in four-ball
match yesterday. which rounded out
his stay here, with Donald Ross as a
partner, against the national amateur
champion, w. c. Fownes. jr., and Alex
ander Ross. is that he will create even
more Of sensation in England than
did Walter ]. Trayis. The result OF
the round was a victory for Mr.. Evans
and Mr.. Rose by 3 up and l to play

in the lead of either Of the Ross broth

On the contrary should the Tigers,
whom the Athletics fear more than any
other club in the race this year or any
other, get off in front, the strain of a
stern chase is likely to take some of that
pepper and dash from Comics crowd. A
