cub will come across with better team
than it is given credit for and spring a
surprise. On the face of the matter the
three teams look to be almost of equal
strength.
The Bankers are likely to prove a bet
ter fielding team than the Baltimore nine,
and the latter is likely to be better hit
not likely to be much difference between
the two clubs. both having some mighty
fast men on the paths.
Whether or not the Bankers win the
intercity championship, they have done
themselves a. whole lot of credit by beat
ing out the Cornell team for the cham
pionship of the local leagues. When the
intersection series started and the Man
haitian club won from the Bankers in the
first game it was not thought that the
Trust Company team had hardly chance
to win out against the Cornell team, but
by sheer stick-to-it-iveness they went to
work and won out in the final game.
There is no doubt that the local club
will go into the games today an inferior
aggregation to that which won the cham
pionship Saturday. The Trust Company
nine was keyed up to do its best in the
three games Friday and Saturday. and it
did but the inevitable relapse must have
come. and 1t is not likely that the Bank
ers will have pulled themselves together
today as much as they did to go through
three grueling struggles the last two
days of last week
At the beginning of the local amateur
season the local authorities tried hard
to get team from Baltimore to enter
the big series but such thing seemed
only remote possibility until lately
when representatives from the Monu-
mental city volunteered to enter a club
The offer was accepted after the names
of the regular club members OF the Bal
timore team were submitted and a prom

Swedes Do Not Loom Up as World
Beaters.

LONDON. September 4.-During the last
year or so there have been some great
reports from Sweden and what the
Swedes were going to do in he next
Olympic games. According to the gos-
sips, they would sweep the decks ana
make the rest OF the world look small
This was to he the case especially in the
spirits and middle distances the only
country figured to have a look-in being
America. and even then the Yankees
would have TO be thoroughly wound up
to be in the running. How good the
Swedes really arc was shown recently

May CUT OUT RACE.
Five-Mile Event Generally Conceded
to Be Too Hard.

NEW YORK. September 4.-There is
a general feeling in athletic circles at
the present time that the five mile race
now listed on the program of the Ma
tional A. A. L. championships an
nually is too long and hard for mid
summer contest. and more than likely
this idea will resolve itself into some
action at the next meeting of the
Amateur Athletic Union. In support
of the above view il is pointed out
that in the five-mile races at New Or
leans In 1910 and at Pittsburgh this
year the athletes suffered cruelty from
the heat.
