STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

St Louis. Mo-. Aug. 20-Joe Birming-
ham, leader of the Cleveland Maps.
is out with a declaration that his
club will win the pennant this year.
Here is what Birmy says: Every play
er on the Cleveland club feels confident
We are going to win the pennant, and
when the members Of a ball club get
that idea into their heads there's no
stopping them"
THE Athletics have three clubs to
face which will give them the battles
of their lives in Detroit Chicago, and
st. Louis. They're going up against
three great pitching STATS. and with
their team rapidly crumbling. l don't
see how they can get even as good
as an even break in the remaining games
they are to play in the West"
Gregg is right again. and with Gregg
o. n. they can't stop us. Eean had
everything he ever had IN his life IN
Sundays game. You don't know how
much that means to club. With
Blanding, Mitchell, .Falkenberg. and
Gregg ready to work, and Steen liable
to come any minute, I don't see how

top. And don't forget Nick Cullop.
expect to see him turn in several VIC
tories for us before the season closes"
There Is a big deal on foot right now
which the writer expects will be con-
summated any day. Griffith is mum as
an oyster on the subject. but from an
authoritative source II mas been learned
that the Old Fox is dickering for a
hard hitting outfielder and that he is
prepared to pay a fancy figure for such
a man.
Whether the outfielder will come from
one of the major or class A clubs is
not known. but Grit 10 on the trail OF
one. and he usually gets what he goes
after.
Don't be surprised. fans, to wake up
some morning and read In the morning
papers that the Climbers have added a
ball player who can play the outfield
and the same time hit the ball, a slug
ger of the Gandil type.
Jake Statler, of Washington, a MEM
Der of Columbia Typographical Union
No. 101, is spending his vacation in
the West, and Jake was an interested
spectator at the ball game in Cleveland
Monday afternoon when Boehling won
out by to ).
Occupying a seat near the Washington
bench and surrounded by Cleveland
fans. one rooter yelled out to Griffith
when the tenth inning opened: Better
pray for rain Griff, the Maps will wipe
your team of the map before the in
ming is over"
Statler began TO wax not unuer the
collar at these remarks, and turning
around to the pest, said: IF you've got
any real money TO bet I'll cover IL and
bet that Washington beats your old ball
club"
Here's hundred dollars" the fan re-
torted. Tets see you make good"
Statler thought a minute. and to him.
self said, "Oh hang it all 1 might as
well be broke-here goes my vacation
money" and dug into his jeans for his
bank role, calling the other fellows
bluff, as blum 1t turned out to be, for
instead of betting a century note the
Cleveland fan was only willing to put
up so which Jake covered.
THAT night after the ball game Statler
took some Of the boys out and bought
not drink.
1t would not be surprising IL Alva
Williams was sent behind the bat dur
ing the next few days and worked regu-
larry. as the big fellow seems to have
recovered his throwing arm to q marked
degree and his hitting Is badly needed.
When 1t comes to mauling the ball
Swat is Rippy's middle name.
A Cleveland reporter called at the hotel
Monday night and inquired for Joe
Engel.
Engel was located and the scribe in.
quired Of him: ''Mr. Engel. have a dis
patch from Toledo which states that the
Toledo club has purchased your release
from Washington. When do you expect
to report?"
go way, man: you're crazy I haven't
been let out yet" the kid pitcher an
swered. Then he thought to himself:
perhaps Griff has canned me, after all.
I'll ask him."
Grin denied the rumor, and afterward
1t was learned that one of the players
had put UP job on 'My poy joe"

 Rivers In Quest.
 Oregon City, ore.--Deelaring that he has received an inspiration from . gypsy fortune teller which will lead him to discover the famous treasure Of Captain Kidd. which has been sought tor centuries, I. W. Rivers, a promi- nent Willamette rancher. will start from this city in about two weeks for the Oregon coast
 Rivers states that several years ago while he and his wife were visiting at The Oaks they consulted a fortune .eller, who told them that they would discover the treasure. She stated that 1t would be found in a cGve in a rock which Is a prominent feature of the coast scenery near Nestucca beach.
 Last year Rivers and his wife went to the beach and found the cave, which is marked by cross and a horse shoe. Inside the cave. according to the fortune teller, they were to find the fortune at the end of log. The log was found by Rivers,. but he dug at the wrong end of 1t and so did not get the fortune.
 This, according to the fortune teller, Is just as he would do. for she said he would have to make two. trips before he would get the fortune. He is now trying to get capital to finance the scheme.
