CUBSLOOK GOODTO
NOSE OUT PENNANT
At Rate They Are Going Can
WreSt Title From
Giants

II is quite clear to the most casual
student of baseball prospects that if
the Giants and Cubs continue at their
present pace. the disciples Of Chance
will wrest the National League cham
pionship from the New Yorkers. From
July 1 to August 1, inclusive, the New
Workers won % games and lost IS.
and the Cubs won 81 and lost 10, and
II thoLe respective ratios were con-
tinued they would insure the loss of
the pennant for the Giants.
The slump the champions have
been. experiencing has been a long
one, unusually long for them. and
there are those who are on the verge
Of hysteria lest it means that their
bolt has been shot Their bolt. how
ever, has not been shot unless they
have suddenly lost a large share Of
the comeback power which has tided
them successfully over other trying
seasons. The team hasn't the usual
secondary strength in the box that
the Cubs have. and to that extent is
not in as good a position for a Cruel
ling drive to the finish. This is a
condition not to be held lightly, but
with three really good pitchers
Mathewson. Marquard and Tesreau-
together with the goodly share OF
youth and ability the team has. TO say
nothing of the managerial ability Of
McGraw, it is not reasonable to be-
lieve that the poor showing for the
last five weeks is a fair measure of
what can be expected the rest of the
season.

TEAMS RUN
CLOSE RACE FOR
TRI-STATE FLAG

With Harrisburg, Trenton ard Al
lentown stretching out almost neck
and-neck for a final squirt. and with
Atlantic City within striking distance
of any one of the three, the last 20
days offthe Tri-State ipennant race
holds some thrilling possibilities
Only about a game apiece separates
the Senators in first place, the Tigers
in second and Allentown IN third.
The closing in of the race at this
time is counted upon to exert a
healthy influence upon box Office re-
ceipts. Wherever any one of this am
bilious trinity appears, the fans may
be counted upon to turn out to wit
ness the supreme struggle. OF these
Allentown seems to be most favored
for the lead, Coughlin and his war
riors having been making great
strides toward the goal, and appear
ing to gain strength continually
So far Wilmington is concerned,
It is not likely that the Chicks will
get further up than fourth although
the team is at present exhibiting a
streak of gilt edged playing which is
worth the price of admission. Such
games as that Of yesterday can be
favorably compared with many a
major league exhibition With. Mich
