While it is virtually settled that the
Athletics will win the pennant in the
American League, the Giants are by no
means as certain of their ground in the
National League race. Just now Nc
Graw team seems to have encountered a
slump and the Phillies are constantly
gaining ground on the leaders, so that
there is stih chance for Dooin's team.
The season still has a few days short
of two months to go and lots of things
may happen in that time. The game 8
uncertainty is too well known for any
, thing to be taken for granted The
Athletics have a splendid lead, one which
they are not apt to lose, and yet the flag
is not cinched by any means. The real
fight in the American League right now
is for second place. The Nationals will
have to hit up fast squirt from this out
if they hope to beat out the Maps. yet
this can be done if the team resains the
pace it set earlier in the season.
The Nationals still have about fifty-one
games on their schedule and the team will
have to win a good percentage of these
in order to improve its position. In fact,
it is most probable that it will have to
win a majority of these games if it ex-
cago appears to be coming fast and is
sure to give the locals a hard fight from
this out.
Connie Mack appears to be satisfied
with the team he now has or New York
would never have had a chance to secure
Fritz MaiSel, the Baltimore phenom, for
whom Manager Jack Dunn of the
Orioles is reported to have secured the
equivalent of $1,000. Mack. it Is UNI
derstood, controls the Baltimore club,
and Dunn cannot sell any of his players
without getting Mack's consent If he
felt that he could use Maisel to advan-
tage New York could not have purchased
him at any price. Then, too it is likely
that Mack is far sighted enough not to
interfere with any plans that will
strengthen the New York club. for to
have a winner in the big city would
mean a large increase of revenues for
every club in the circuit.

erage as whole. For the entire season
the team has hit for -29f. a team average
that is much above that generally at
tanned. OF course, lately the. Bank play
ers have not hit to anywhere near that
standard, but during the month of June
and previous to that they were gather
ing in twelve or fifteen hits in almost
every contest.
One of the strange features connected
with the batting averages of the Capt.
tai City League is that the Cornell club
is the lowest in the team batting aver
ages: yet il finished second by a good
margin. The only way to explain that is
that it failed to hit in any of its games
against the Bankers. and in the other
contests it did not try TO get more than
enough runs TO win, consequently did not
get as many hits as could have been Sc
cured.
A mistake was made when il was print
ed in these columns yesterday that the
section 3 games in the post-season series
would not be played, and the schedule in
that section would open Monday. An
oversight in the schedule was responsible
for the blunder, and the first meeting
will take place this afternoon on the
East Washington Sunday School League
grounds. Sherwood and Ninth will be
the opposing clubs.
Sherwood will exert every energy to
get away with the Ninth Street team.
The two clubs are old rivals. and there
is not much that Is legitimate that either
will not do to win. Sherwood has a club
that is liable to make better showing
than any one expects. despite it's being
pitted against the club that is picked to
win out in that section rather easily.
Just what will be the result of the
contest this afternoon between Interior
and the Bankers is hard to tell. IL one
judges by the opinions OF those who have
followed the Departmental League, and
then listens for a few minutes to what
somebody who has made the Capital
City League his chief stamping ground
has to say. The government leaguers
say they will take the series without a
doubt, while those who have followed the
other circuit think there will be nothing
to 1t but the Bankers.
The, game is apt to prove surprise for
somebody.
