Chicago Series.
BY BULCER.

a BAS-RELIEF map OF the Him.
~ alaya Mountains would bo a per-
feet likeness OF tho anatomy OF
tho Giants this morning had every blow
struck by the Phlllics raised a lump,
For many days there Will be a painful
twitch In tho mind OF the defenders OF
Coogan's Bluf when some diamond
comedian naunts a wittlcism something
like: I'VE spent a month in Philadelphia
on the Fourth OF July" We did.
Those boys down there may he slow.
but they are certainly careful. and every
blow they struck was with deadly In
tent. Not only did We spend n month
In Philiy, hut II may turn out to be the
whole season.
Despite the many dishEurations re-
ceived In the city where the citizenship
Is supposed to sleep. the Giants, still a
little wobbly. were up bright and early
his morning polishing of their hats
and oiling up their steel traps. for, be-
hold. the Eastern prowl has begun and
the Cubs are upon US. Thanks. to Red
Doom, and his men the Cubs are a half
game ahead of VS. In the race for the
pennant and to wipe that ont we must
win this afternoon. IL. perchance. the
St. Louis Cardinals should hump the
phill,es and we should take n fall out
| OF Frank Chance. the Giants Will be
tied for the lead. OF course there 10 an
other possibility. but what's the use OK
being "A pessimlst.
II will be many weeks before the
| Philies are again In our midst, but. as
Louie prucke says: dad gum II. when
we do get them on our own ball yard
we'll show 'cm. In the meantime we
must soften the sting OF defeat by maui
Ing the face off the Cubs. Mayhap
when the Western invasion Is over we
will be primed and cooked FOR another
shot at Red Dooln. Right now, how
ever, Il might he n good Idea to he
conservative and welt. you know Jim
J~effrles Is IN nc hurry to hight Jack
Johnson again.
The one thing that now concerns one
John McGraw II the r~earrangement or
his pitching staff. The whole string
was thrashed TO n FRAGILE during the
hye-game siege in philadelphia, and
with another strong team TO face for
four important battles II will take sone
guessing TO pick the right man. The
only twirlcr the least bit rested IL
George Wlltse, and he Will undoubtedly
fire the first shot this afternoon, Wlltse
has been unfortunate In his last two
starts, and IN neither or th'm ola ne &c
farther than -four innings, Up until the
Boston Rustlers got to him on the Pole
Grounds last week ho was going Ire q
streak. but that lac!ng evidently Grip
pied him. for he was almost helpless
before the Phillies after they ha'
turned on full steam. The heat als'
affected the tall southpaw. HIS defeat
how cYer, was ~ worse than that sui
fered by Mathewson, For the first tim
IA his lie Matty was beat twice II
three days.
' 1t IL a rather peculiar fact that tn
, Phillies have always had loss troubl

nearly half of them were scratches
The inneld seemed 10 go wrong o

The luck stuck with the Phllllos unit
