SPORTING NOTES.

taxing INTO CONSIDERATION Ihab bhe
Giants lead the National league in total
hits, total runs, total victories and have
already doubled the number OF stolen
bases OF their nearest competitor ii il
no wonder that the Giants are having
such an easy time for the National pen
nant.
A New York paper, in giving its choice
for the leading twirlers OF the National
league, issued the following; In the
American league, Wood, Walsh and
johnson; in the National, Marquard
Marquard and Marquard.
AT Cincinnati Sunday, the erstwhile
Bugs Raymond took part in a semi
pro game and after two innings of fruit
less effort Bugs was extricated by his
manager. Bugs went over along first
base line and there cast himself upon
the sod and sought slumber. Bugs found
plenty of company for the rest OF the
afternoon, as over one half of the spec
tators swarmed about him. While in
the box he hit four men.
Harvard's championship games with
Yale are drawing near There are only
two on the schedule for this week, when
they meet Holy Cross and the Pilgrim
team Sam FELTON,, who was being re-
lied upon for these games to shoulder
the greatest share of the box work, will
not be able to take part owing to schol-
arship standing As he was erratic all
season and could not be depended upon,
he will not be missed so greatly. The
return OF Reeves, their star baekstop,
will be a great addition to the team,
offsetting the loss of FELTON,. Yale is
hard at work for the big game. Thurs
day they play the deciding game with
Princeton at New York
A personal triumph to Harry Hillman
is the feat performed by Wright at
Cambridge Saturday in the pole vault.
The Dartmouth coach has been giving
him the best OF coaching at Hanover all
winter and he was certainly rewarded
with success Saturday.
1t was found that Gutterson, the big
Vermont athlete, who disappointed many
by not capturing the broad jump at
Cambridge Saturday, could not hit the
take-off properly. In figuring the leap
that gave him second place the Judges
measured the exact distance and dis
covered that the correct jump was from
eight inches to a foot better than re-
corded for him. 1t is too bad that the
big fellow did not gauge his step bet
ter, for If he had there is no doubt but
that lie would have captured the first
honors.
Up to the week just closed, iris
Speaker, the Red Sox outfielder, was
leading the American league. The Bos-
ton man is hitting for 3S5, Cobb next
best with 355 and jackson of Cleve-
land following with an average of $50.
In the National league Zimmerman of
the Cubs is leading the race by a per-
centage of 40l. Donlin of Pittsburg sec
ond with 366. Speaker leads the Amer
lean league with runs, having forty
to his credit. Cobb is second with thir-
ty-nine.
Rube Marquard has won twelve
straight games for the Giants. On the
of this month he will try for
his thirteenth straight victory. In eulog-
zing the great New York man, the base
ball public should not leave out of CON
iideration the great johnson of Wash
ngton. Walter has already won eleven
games and lost but three. When the
season ends do not be surprised if his |
record is better than that of Marquard. |
One of the sensations of the year is |
Marsans of the Reds. This man, by his |
batting and fielding, has made himself |
very popular all over the National cir |
nit with the fans. He has connected |
With the offerings of Mathewson and |
Vanguard for a total of twelve hits.
Jack johnson is now at Los Vegas,
\. NJ, training hard for his bout on
day. Bag punching and
hadow work consist of much of his
raining. He goes fourteen rounds with
PAIRING partners every day
