little of that finer feeling existing be-

day between the Washington Giants and

~ EDDIE COLLINS,
OF tho Athletes.

The literary pickings in the American
League from the point of view Of an au-
thor associated in his professional ac-
tivities With the Athletics became more
and more scanty with the passing Of each
week. My sermon this sunday morning
must be devoted TO the uncertainty OF
baseball and the consequent possibility
that the Athletics may stfll breeze
through and finish first.
No one thought the st. Louis Browns
would interrupt the winning streak OF
Waiter Johnson. the best pitcher In the
world. in my. opinion. Nobody ever Inn
agined that Columbus would discover
America when he set out. according to
the best authorities. and few American
rooters expected to see the colonies get
the decision over Great Britain when
they became entangied In the argument
Of ZIG. Hardly anybody looks to see the
Athletics win the pennant now. But all
those other things were done against
great odds. and we may come through
with the flag yet. Everybody. sexcept the
men on the club. haa given up. We think
that we are In the race yet
I'll admit that the further the Red Sox
go the better they look. and the further
that Joe" wood. the great young
pitcher Of the club, progresses the better
the misfortunes OF our pitching stan that
have put the Boston team where 1t Is
now Wood has won fourteen games as
write this-fourteen In a row.. Do You
know what that means to q ball club
II means an alright pitcher. II means
that every time he goes into the box the
players behind him are imbued with the
notion that they are going to win, that
the other team cannot beat his pitching.
and they do win There Is no atmosphere
of uncertainty. no winning OF ball
ternoon Once the players make a few
runs behind such pitcher they know
that he Is going to hold that lead That
kind Of pitching wins pennants.
Give me one air-tight pitcher" re-
marked Clark Grifiith. when he was
managing the Cincinnati team. and I
will win a pennant with this club"
The highbrow critics laughed at him,
he's crazy" r
and did not refrain from saving: Why.
Yet Griffith went TO Washington and
took hold Of a club with which nearly
every one that ever handled IL bad be-
come disguised. and. with one air-tisnt
! .tcher. has given the Boston Red Sox
a great race for the championship. He
Is not out Of il yet but his chances are
not nearly so good as they were a week
ago That is what can be done with an
air-tight pitcher. and that is what Wood
has done for Boston this year. He has
been certain and sure whenever called
UPON to pitch. and he has saved many
tight games In which some other pitcher
has blown, One star pitcher takes judi
cious handling to get the maximum ef-
ficiency and Jake Stahl and Clark
Grifith have covered themselves with
glory by the way in which they have
used their two stars

even at its best. A big CROWD of WASH
ingtonians was on hand, and each mare
had warm and eager partisans. While
Alcyne was warming UP and showed
lameness, on account of a recently de-
veloped corn in a front foot. the ardor
cooled. for they knew that II she was to
win she must be at her best.
Miller set out from the word with his
good little bay mare to make every post
a winning one. while Corbin, behind
Alcyne, never drove a better race and
never despaired until the last heat was
paced. Relying upon the gameness and
speed of his mount, he was always on
the alert to take advantage Of any mis-
takes made by Alice NJ But the latter
moved like a well oiled and finely
wrought piece of mechanism. standing
her drives like genuine race marc and
responding to all calls when Aicyne
came dangerously near. The time made
by Alice NJ in the three heats-2:r IA.
2:1S, and 2:17 1-4-was as good as 2:12 or
2:13 on fast track. Russell Cozine,
who won third money, was a close con-
tender. and he will be dangerous horse

on account of her lameness. may pre-
vent her appearance at Timoniun.

Boston Playing Great Rail-.

Boston Is still playing In the same
spotless luck which has followed the
club all through the race. The Identical
stellar lineup that has appeared this
season is intact and playing the same
great ball. The team, a little ragged
at the beginning of the season, Is now
one OF the smoothest machines In the
league. Speaker and Wagner are still
Tic Individual stars on the field. with
Stahl the star man when lit comes to
head work. 1 did not know that the
banking business gave man such good
preparation for managing a bah club,
but Stahl appears TO have learned a
great deal about baseball during the
year that he retired from the game and
engaged In the banking business in Chi
caeo. II might be recommended that
some other managers take the same
course.
The Boston club is a wonderful team,
and If it retains its present pace there Is
no chance In the world of the Athletics
catching the Red Sox. At present they
show no signs Of slowing up. and the lead
which Stahl possesses Is a large and lusty
one for this time in the race. Our only
chance is that the club viii break on Its
last Western trip, and that when II
slumps we come strong. A slump by Bos-
ton Is our only chance. No matter how
good bah we play now 1t will do no good,
with the Red Soxa moving as they are.
Once or twice lately the Boston team has
threatened to break and We have had a
chance to gain, but every time that this
has occurred the Athletics have promptly
cracked worse than our rivals did
The men feel keenfy the prospective loss
of the pennant this year. Our victory
looked to be almost certain at the begin
ming Of the season-perhaps too certain
to do US any good. 1t seemed as IL we had
great chance to break the record long
existing in the big leagues Of three sue
cessive pennants for one club. We won
our first in 1910. when the team was shot
full of youth and had not yet been welded
together into a smooth machine. Then We
were at the top Of our Stride last season
with none of the players yet slowing up
and youth still the keynote of the organ
ization. II seemed as IL We should be
better this year and continue to win for
at least two races more.

Mothers and aHaby Talk

A kindergarten teacher. in speaking
OF the attack made on "baby talk" by
one of the Tufts college instructors,
said: "Of course, we all know that
baby talk is poor substitute for the
real language. but we know also that
It Is the result of first effort. 1t will
always exist, and thank heaven for
It! The people who hate It are those
who are too matter-of-fact to be moth
erly. No mother teaches her baby
baby talk any more than she teaches
It to crawl and to adopt the Tufts
method. And to curb the lisping prat.
tie of the baby. which is usually intel.
ligible to the mother only, would be
like forcing the youngster to stand
when 1t can only creep. To mothers
and women who know children the
effort to check baby talk Is only an
other OF the questionable steps toward
making children sgrown-ups.'
