him last spring, and who is now with

Fullenweider has not had a great
deal of luck in the big minor. but he
has pitched good ball, and has been
very favorably commented upon by the
critics. McGraw rather liked Fullen-
weider from the first. and kept him
until he could place him to the best adj

pitching recruits who were with the

Sold Suits for 10 Cents Each
Alton. Ill, Telegram to the New York
Herald.

Alton. Ill, Telegram to the New York
Herald.
A sale of mems all-wool suits at 10
cents each has given the cost of living
a severe setback In Alton. Six or seven
years at least have been Topped from
the forward end of the fashion calendar
by more than 100 Alton men who are
willing TO sacrifice correctness OF attire
for good bargain.
The idea of selling suits for a dime
apiece originated in the mind of Carl
Hartman Looking over the stock i'm
lis fathers store Hartman found a lot
OF suits that were made OF good mate
rial but were designed along lines pop
ular in the dim and almost forgotten
past.
In order to make the sale more at
tractiye he dug up a lot OF suits for
boys. some felt hats and straw hats
that had been damaged slightly by the
recent food. and some boiled" shirts
that would add splendid TO one of the
glove-fitted English style suits. All
these were offered at 10 cents each.
The sale was widely advertised and
when 1t was opened crowd of 500 men
and number OF women besieged the
store.

GIANTS SEEM TO HAVE LOST
THEIR DEFENSIVE ABILITY
ny WALTER MARcnAND

Chicago has great Tall team, 20 doubt
Of Il. They seem to have the Indian
syn ON the Giants Just now, but as a
game sportsman who wants to win on
merit and not on technicalities, c. Webb
Murphy is the best Joke OF the decade,
and ! grieve to say Frank Chance is not
a whole lot better.
Boston seems to have escaped the slump
inicrobe SO far, and is gong along secure
ly at the top of the American league.
Nothing but slump, and 81 bad one, can
keep item from winning the champion
ship Of the American league, and the way
they are playing ball now there Is nothing
IN tie National league which can beat
them for the worlds championship.
Although Frank Bancroft has an
nouIced that the MeGraw worlds trip will
be taken by the two teams that win the
remnants this year, ard afterward par
ticip9te in the worlds series, McGraw,
who is the originator of the plan, says
that IL will be the Giants AMI team
made up of American league players.
McGraw has already received promisea
from Mathewson. Marquard, Doyle,
Fletcher. Snodgrass, Murray, Devore,
Meyers, Safer, Tesreau, Hartley aI-x
Crandall to go with him on the trip, and
the others viii probably be IN line when
the starting time comes. II is proposed
TO have Bresnahan manage the American
loaguers. and invitations have teen ex.
tendc dto Cobb. Lajoie. Joe Jackson,
Speaker Eddie Collins, Bender and Chase,
among other American league players.N
The trip will begin With a game at the
Polo grounds on October 25 and the teams
will then go TO Philadelphia. Washington,

will include stops at Honolulu, Hong

New York. August 24-(Special.)-
never safe to spend world series money
until after it's earned. Here some time
ago it looked certain that the Giants
would be the National league representa-
tires IN the championship series. 1t is
probable they viii be yet, but IL long
way from a sure thing.
1t simply illustrates the uncertainties
of the National game does the race in the
senior league. 1t also proves the conten-
ton mat it ie much better for team
to be going at top speed after August
thar tefore that date.
It's isrG to say just what is the mat
ter vith McGraws team. His piteher5
are gong good, his men are hitting tins
ball, hut the defensive power OF the team
seems to have crumbled. ami ia the Of
fensiVe the ginger and snap which won so
many games for them has been absent.
The men are not playing first division
ball. ard that's the truth.
one thing though can be said McGraw
is taking his punishment like a man and
d real sport. That is not chrp out
Of i'm no wild attempts at aibis, no
accusations against other teams or the
umpires.
In this he is different from the heads
OF the Chicago team. Murphy and Chance
have both been making all sorts of wild
statements, Murphy particularly. When
Eyers was suspended for striking at an
umpire, there were loud cries that Presi-
dent Lynch was the best player the
Giants had When 1t was announced that
Bresnahan was interested in tnat @ords
tour there came nasty inslnuation that
Roger was gong to throw games to the
Giants and so 1t is all along the line.
For a man who won a Championship
by a technicality. after he had been fairly
beaten at the game. who took game this
season on another technicality which he
had fairly lost, to say these sort OF things
ONES with particularly bad grace.

Did you break your leg?' asked Walsh.
