Judgments

HE big subject in base ball Just
J" now Is the probable pennant-
winning Of the Giants in the
National league. The Cubs are
nearly out Of It. They lost their
hold when Chance got hurt early in the
season. with the big boss and Evers out
and Miner Brown and other star pitchers
not up to par, the old warriors have done
amazingly we'll to stay in the fight as
they have. They would be on top today
at that, but for Brooklyn. II the Cubs
lose the flag, as seems now they will, II
will be due TO one of the anomalies Of
the game-that the tailender can beat the
leaders. II is a good thing for base ball,
too, that such is the case 1t fortifies It
against becoming a dead sure thing Ow-
ing to the intense rivalry existing for
years between New York and Chicago,
embittered by the Cubs close victory
in 1908, New York devotees are making
much of their teams triumph this year.
OF course, in the nature of things. the
Cubs had eventually to miss a pennant.
They could not go on indefinitely win
ming them. But under Mana r. Chance,
the team has done it's part toward land
ing flags. He became manager at the be
ginning of 1906 and in the five years fol-
lowing, exclusive of 1911, the Cubs have
won four fiTsts and one second. If results
count Chance and the Cubs have been
fairly successful II will not quite do,
therefore, TO make invidious comparisons
at their expense now. If the Giants win.
IL will mark another coicidence, for they
will be pittied against the Athletics, who
were the American league winners in
1906. the last time the Giants beat out
in the National. 1t remains to be seen
whether they can devour the Mackmen
as easily this year in the worlds series
as they did then. We think not, though
we make no predictions as to the winner.
We believe 1t is the common judgment
Of good base bali men that the game in
all its interests is benefited by a New
York victory in the National league this
year 1t is stimulating to the uncertainty
of clean sport to have a break in the
line OF triumph as often as possible. The
Cubs have proved themselves one OF, II
not the greatest teams, in the history OF
the game; they can lose nothing by los
ing this flag.

as attorney for Lottie E. Keeney,
Med a complaint against the city of
Fargo asking for the removal of GER
tam sewers, sewer pits and pipes from

wrongfully. Since that time the plain
tiff has no been able to rent or dis
