INHILE the Giants are playing in
w Pittsburg. the Quakers will
meet the Cardinals, and it should be
easy for DoOin'S men to clean up on
| St Louis. The Cardinals never pre-

down the PhillieS and bring them

series was big disappointment to

Cooperative power in the Philadelphia

succession In New York.
The worst feature of the Phila-

/ A WHOLE lot of teams in the Ma

are included in the list-have been
/ kidding themselves ever since the race
started into believing that the Quak-
crs would crack in time and then

after the New York series. hut they
( have come back in fine shape and are
Going better than ever at present.
/ They are PLAYING good ball ON the

One is TO have the Philadelphia pitch

ponds on some Of the firSt-String men
being out Of the game. either on ac-
count Of illness or injuries. Doom
has not any good capable substitutes.
This was demonstrated when the
team was In New York and PaSkert

PLAYERS clubbing around i'm right field
and none IF them looked very good.
