Oldring playing up to concert pitch. there
would have been another story to tell.

men going right would have had upon the
rest Of the players! Think of the demor-

thick and thin, gave the management the

all season are particularly hard hit by the
failure of Bender and Ol6ring to live up
to the obligations Of their contracts.

hard job to build up a championship team

providing the weather is favorable. will
get the players as much IL not more.

Griffith this morning. Il shall make 1t

Old Nick Altrock pitched FIVE in

evident that he has but little so far as

1t is perhaps needless to say that the
regular team will be in the field against
Cincinnati at Syracuse today. Grifhth
would rather beat his old club than any
thing that could now happen him. and
the team will hustle against the Reds as
1t never has before. Old Tom Hughes Is
slated to pitch. Griffith, who Is familiar
with most of the batters on the Cincin-
natl team, figures that Hughes is just the
kind of pitcher to be troublesome to the
Reds, and for this reason selected him to
work. Walter johnson, however. will be
kept in readiness, and If he should be
needed to stop a rally he will be called
upon. Henry is to do the catching, while

New 7 ork,, the Athletics could wind up
the season with 1O2-52-.6S2. To beat that
all the Red Sox would have to do would
be to win IL of the "a games they have
yet to play. which would give them a
total of 1851 -.6p. From which it may
be inferred that the Red Sox's chances
of ultimately winning the American
League pennant this season are fair
very fair.
Although their margin is not SO great,
the Giants seem to have just as big a
cinch on the National League flag. 1t
was thought the Phillies might be able
to check them up, but they fell down
lamentably on the job, the Giants walk
ing away with five of the seven games

for the Chicagos by winning every game
they play, to close the seaeson with LOG
victories and 4S defeats-a percentage
Of .66s. BY winning IS of their rs
games the Giants will finish 1O7-47-. COS.
An upset in the National race Is still
possible, but it is so remote as to be
hardly worth considering. The dope
sters may begin work now on the rela-
tive chances of the Boston Speed Boys
and the Giants in the worlds series.
1t was thought, in view of the sensa-
tional start made by the Giants, that a
new record for games won during sea

hung up this year. but the Giants slump
in midseason has precluded that If they

An attempt will soon be made to merge
two Of the largest Of the local athletic
clubs. The idea as advanced, and which
will be put through. if possible, is to have
the Washington Cross-Country Club join

citation and form one big club.

is certain that the move is intended, and
will be mateured IL possible
1t is the intention Of the Washington
Athletic Association to advance the idea

benefit Of track and field athletics in
this city. The club would be prosperous
enough to send teams to the big meets
in the north, and before long should be
able to make fine showing against the
best. There is little doubt that II the
two clubs join hands in the near future
and enter their combined forces under one
head in the A. A. U. championships to
be held the 21st of this month the south
Atlantic title will be won.
Whether or not anything will come or
the attempt to join the two bodies Tor
the general benefit of the sport will not
be known definitely until after the offi-
cials Of the CrossACountry Club are ap-
preached and have rendered their deci-
sion. 1t is known, though, that very rea-
sonable concessions will be made by the
new athletic association in order to ac-
compish the desired end.
1t is not probable that the Potomac
Electric Power Company will take things
very easy this week in the belief that
the two games next Saturday in Rich
mond will be won easily. The Electricians
are booked to spend at least three or
four days in the hardest kind Of prac-
tice. The fact that both games were won
here so decisively there was not the least
comparison between the two clubs Is not
evidence that the two games this week
will be won as easily. and no chances OF
not winning the championship without
having to play the fifth game will be
taken.
