THE Brooklyn team, which is gen
L orally found down near the bot
tom of the second division, flashed
away with a leaping start and threat
ened to he a pennant contender until
the club caught on to itself. The
Superbas are still playing good ball,
but the weakening of the pitching
staff has pulled them back in the
fight. However, a brilliant young
twirleP in Wagner has been turned
up. and he is helping out the men
who are caying Brooklyn will give
amy. club fight, and is never licked.
That is the spirit among all the teams.
No club, in the National League is de
featad, before the game begins this
year,Ias is so often tie case when
the season gets to be two or three
months old.
Dahlen is determined to wind up
in the first division at least, and be
lieves he must beat out Chicago to do
it. With this end in view, his team
went after the Cubs hammer ana
tongs last week, and Irwin, the catch

he broke an arm trying to stop
"Heinie" Zimmerman from scoring
when "Heinie" came into the plate
riding high"
THE large number of personal en-
L counters this year indicates the
tenseness Of the feeling between the
various fighting clubs. Tinker and
Knabe came to blows last week in
Cincinnati. Open warfare exists be
tween the Boston and Cleveland
American League clubs. They had
one of those old-fashioned behind-the-
grandstand encounters in Cleveland
some time ago, and the battling was
continued when the Maps played in
Boston recently. Chapman. Olsen and
ajoie were all more or less injured
in this series. The great Frcnchman
was hit on the wrist with a pitched
ball thrown by Joe" Wood, and is
travelling in the game with it heavily
bandaged Olsen was spiked, and
Chapman, the brilliant young short
stop, did not find Carrigan presenting
his soft side when he slid into the
plate As "a result he is now out of
the going.
Such tactics are not cOmmendable,
but they certainly show fight and the
determination of one team to beat the
other at any cost. Both leagues are

to men on rival teams. The old feud

TACKLE TOUGH
ROAD JOURNEY
BY Percy H. Whiting.

THE CRACKERS are winding I'D
another home stay. and on Sat
urday night they viii duck into
The South again for road trip that
lasts until the Fourth of July. Fri
Gays game is set for the usual hour.
Saturdays contest VIII be started
early ia order to allow the Crackers
10 catch the train for New Orleans,
where they play a double header Sun
day.
The eve Of very hard road trip
nuds the Crackers q bit up in the air.
'rhe team is lowering above the 500
mark and is in a commanding posi-
ton for a spurt-if the squirt devel-
ops But it is not likely TO on a
hard trip through the South.
Bill Smith surely has a serious task
ahead of him,
w HEN the primary line of defense
" breaks--meaning the pitchers
team generally loses. The rest of a
team is no more than scenery II the
opposition is tanning the best curves
of your best pitchers all over the map.
Just that thing happened Thursday
Musser and Price worked. And the
Birmingham club made enough runs
off each Of them to win the game.
WHAT made it a particularly sor-
W rowful affair was that the thor
oughly despised Bill Foxen was the
opposing hurler. This hasn't been
Bills best year. But he had enough
left to trim the Crackers. even if they
did make a slather Of hits off his de-
livery. And, to make it worse, he
hammered out a couple of hits him
self.
All through the game the Cracker
fans jeered him and gave the famous
whistle, which IS at Ponce DeLeon
the worst insult a player can be Of
fered. To FoXen's dying day local
fans will cling to the belief that he
was LAY down performer while he
was in Atlanta.
TaE Birmingham team showed
Thursday a little of the college
boy" style of playing that made them
sc hard to beat last year The club
was a wonder for spirit and pep" last
year and that practically won the bat
tie for them. This year they We're
badly demoralized for a while and
played listlessly Thursday they came
back to their stride. Il the Barons
really set going they will be pennant
contenders yet They are not far
enough back but that a winning streak
of couple Of weeks duration viii
put them up in the chase.
IN the meantime, j. is up 10 the
Crackers to head them off There is
getting to Oe enough competition up
around rhe top now, without encour-
aging the Barons TO get up there
making trouble.
TT might be mentioned that the cup
given the Crackers for leading IN
attendance on opening day was pre-
scented before Yesterdays game by
President W. NJ. Kavanaugh with APP
propriate ceremonies. And the band

Scotty Montleth, Dundees manager.
You can imagine how sick he was.
He went into the ring so weak that
