Result of Pennant Race Prac-
tically Depends on Outcome
of Present Cubs Giants
Series, Which Opens in Chi
cago To-Day.
Copyright 1912 The Publishing tThs
Chicago. Aug. 16.

SHlcdBOs AUS ~
A MOTHER one of those well adver-
~ tised crucial SERIES starts here
4 \ to-day when the Giants meet the
Cubs In the first game Of their last series
% the season here. On the result Of
this series the National League pennant
practically hinges.
II the Giants still hold as good lead
when they leave az when they arrived
here then their chances OF winning the
pennant are very good indeed. but II the
locals sweep the series. then 1t will look
like a different proposition entirely.
When the New Yorks last visited This
city they were some fifteen or sixteen
games to the good, and II looked like
sure thing for them to capture the pen
nant. But, like the Tigers OF the Ameri-
can League last year. who got on 10
huge lead only to be overtaken early in
the race. they have taken an awful
slump. and now only scant six games
wall them of from the Cubs.
Manager McGraw Is confident that his
boys will brace and give the fans OF this
city a sample of the brand of ball they
played here on their first visit. The
worst they got at that time was a tie
game. II was on their first swing around
the circuit that the Giants not only
throttled the Cubs. but whipped every
! club for fair. with the exception OF the
Reds. who defeated them In the first two
games of the series. only TO drop the
next three and lose first place. which
| they temporarily held.
The Giants have been putting up a
| lstless game of late and un.ess they
show something on this trip they are

the coveted National League pennant.
IIr the Cubs should win out-and the
New York players don't entertain any
such thought for a mtnute-lt Will be
the greatest form reversal In the his
tory OF the game, as well as one OF the
greatest uphill battles.
| During the first days Of the summer
even the most sanguine players on the
| Cub nine didn't think for minute
there was any chance to cut down the
Giants lead as they have done. But
It was when Vanguard broke his record
run OF nineteen straight games when
he lost to Lavender on the second whirl
around the circuit that the Giants
boarded the toboggan. which they are
still riding on.
| The RUDE has regained some of the
nerve which he lost of late weeks and
he has been groomed for to-day's open
Ing game against the Cubs. II the
Giants win this battle It will make II
much easier for them to capture the
majority of the games of the series OF
three games, for first blood often
throws the enemy into a fit of des-
pondency. 1t Is likely that Lavender
his Nemesis-will work against Mar
guard.
Manager McGraw is saving Christy
Mathewson for tomorrow. while Jef
Tesreau, his promising International
Lacquer. will be used Saturday.
There is tremendous interest In the
present series, and It Is PRACTICAL,
assured that every seat will be taker
by the time the game Is called. The
Chicago fans are worked up to a high
pitch of excitement. not only because
OF the comparative c,oness OF the race
now but because of the acrimonious

Brannigan Boxes
.DraW With Walsh
Especial to The Evening world.)

BOSTON. Aug. l5.-Patsy Brannigan
OF Pittsburgh and Jimmy Walsh OF
Boston fought ten-round draw at the
Pilgrim A. A. while Walsh had all
the better of the first seven rounds.
Brannigan came back In the last three
rounds IN such a manner that the
referee figured he was entitled TO a
draw.
Walsh did some fine hitting with the
left. planting 1t often on Brannlgan's
face and body IN the earlier rounds.
Brannigan reached Walsh's face and
body IA number OF times. but as Walsh
did not show much effect from them Il
was taken that there was not much
steam behind the punches
Walsh looked II bit distressed, but h,

cRAWFoRD's DRIVE LONGEST
OF THE YEAR,

Speaking OF heavy hitting. II might be
OF interest to know that Sam Crawford
hit the longest drive of the year at the
Hilltop when he drove a ball on the d.
into the far end OF the centre field
bleachers. Many have bounced into that
stand during the seasons warfare. but
this was the first one to tear into the
lower end OF that stand on the fly.
While the hitting OF Crawford and
Mullin brought home the bacon for the
Tigers. "A certain New Yorker should be
tossed laurel wreath or two. Bert
Daniels had a field day with the stlca,
and II one other clouter had backed him
up the Highlanders might have won
hands down.
To give everybody good taste IN
their mouths at the finish. Russell Ford
went in for the second struggle and
pitched his very best game of the year

margin. Until the ninth inning but tive

Cobb May Be Greatest
Player on Earth, but
Needs to STUDY Rules

Onslow had been withdrawn Jennings
had TO substitute still another batter.
This time he sent Zitt TO swing for the
Georgian. That young gentleman stayed
In the game until It was over.
1t was finally explained to Cobb and
Jennings that as Cobb's name had been
sent to the umpire as centrefielder he
was officially in the game at the start.
Therefore. when Onslow went to bat
for him the Georgian was officially out
OF the game and could not return.
When Onslow wal taken away he was
also out and the third man had to go
through with It. Another reason for
this switch was that Onslow IL not an
outfielder and some one was needed to
play for Cobb in the field as well as
at the bat.
Luckily for Tyrus. the game was won
through the heavy hitting OF George
Mullin and Sam Crawford. and ne was
not needed. Otherwise there would have

BIC SHOW COMING
TO TOWN SOON.

Next Where They viii Show.

In the little town of Monroe.
Louisiana, lived the family of
tnos Haag and about thirty
seven years ago there came Ia
grace the family son. and this
son was named Ernest Haag: and
as soon rs he could even play
with toys, pet playthings were
toy animals his parents and
neighbors had given him. When
he grew older, his days were
spent playing circus and show,
and when he was fortunate
enough to see one of the circuses
that visited his own home, he
would elaborate on it in his own
way, and SO it went on until he
was 10 years old. He then Sc
cured a position with one of the
large circuses in an executive
capacity, returning home at the
finish of the season with one
thought, to have a show of his
own that would be recognized by
the circus king, also Il Southern
show for Southern people. The
following spring he bought a fiat
boat and organized a small show,
floating down the Red River on
the fiat boat, playing the small
towns on the river front. He
next bought a few wagons and
started a wagon show, every
year charging and getting a new
feature and with that one idea
and mbition, to give his friends,
the public, the best money could
procure, successful management
suggest and brains devise.
Every year Mr. Haag enlarged
his show until it became too
large to travel on wagons. 1t
was then transposed to rail
road show with its own special
trains.
In the fifteen years history Of
this enterprise each year has
been an unexplained growth and
Increase in size over the proceed
ing one, and this year has been
no exception to the rule. Mr..
Haag has always had three prin-
cipal objects in view, namely;
Cleanliness, honesty and kind
treatment to all. Mr.. Haag
claims the distinction of being
the only Southern gentleman
owning and controlling a South
ern show.
Haag Shows will exhibit in
