The boat had been at Atlantic City,

victories cut of seven games played
was their record for last week.
The outstanding feature of the
baseball week just ended was the rise
OF the New York Club to leadership
in the National League race. The
seven day period. with heavy sched-
ule that included the Fourth's double
headers. was a history one in
many respects.
Coincident with the upward leap of
the Giants came the fall of the Phila-
delphians, who dropped from first po-
sition for the first time since early
season, and of the Brooklyns, whose
pennant aspirations met serious
setback through me drubbings by Bos-

Chicago. on the other hand. came up
with a rush, gaining ground fast by its
own good work. while wide breaches
were being made in the defenses OF

SECOND OF
INTER-ClTY
THIS WEEK
Philadelphia Road Drivers Ex-
peCt to Beat Wilmington
Horses at Belmont
CITY HORSEMEN
HOLD THE LEAD

The second OF the interclub series
of races between the Road Drivers. f
Philadelphia and members of the Will
mington DR.. ling Club will be held
on Saturday of this week over the
mile track a. Belmont. The close
ness of tie first encounter between
these horses, decided over the Wawa-
set track, here on June %, the local
horses having wcn by the narrow
margin of two points, % to 20, leads
to the bc.,ef that the second series
will result in an unusually close and
interesting lot of races. 1t will b. a
contest between the same horses that
met at Wilmington, but the .ndi-
tions, it is thought, will favor the
Philadelphia horses somewhat, since
the races will be decided over a mile
track However, tne Wilmington
horsemen are confident of repeating
their first victory.
To Wilmington 10 conceded the
Class F pace OF six points and the
2.20 trot Of six points. Beau Anton
and Brooklyn Tll. in the last-named
event. showed better work over the
half-mile ring than any OF the Road
Drivers hor-es. However at Belmont
the finish may be reversed. as Guy
Nella, Edgar N. and Hoke's Margaret
may make the De -wareans step be-
low 2-15 to win. Guy Nella has 1Lrn-
ed Belmont track in 2.11 IA anc Ed
gar n. in 2.14 IL. With both on edge
the time sho1ld be three seconds fas-
ter than was made at Wilmington,
2.17 IA, 2. 16 H.
In the Glass d trot, Maud H., by
Blanalco. was behi..d the count at
Wilmington, but is expected to sup
plant Isabella Sym. who won for the
Road Drivers at Wilmington. Maud
H. did net take kindly to the half
mile track, but has shown trials over
the Belmont track in 2.fJ IA. and can
repeat. The time made at wawaset
2.30 1-2, 9.26 IL, 22S. will be only
a jog for her.
AS at Viii. -ington. the free-for-all
trot and the 217 Glass trot will be
the features. Strawberry. the Phila-
delphia trotter, took the measure OF
Lucy Van. the Delaware favorite, that
made her record Of 2.13 IA at Bel

LAUNCH IN DANGER
WHEN STORM BREAKS

The wind storm on Saturday came
near swamping the yacht Senator of the
Senator Boat Club as a landing at Penns-
grove was being made. As il was the
boat failed to effect the landing but in
stead put back to this city.
The boat carried ten members of the
Central Social Club of Philadelphia and
when the storm broke the river was LASH
ed with waves, high above the boat. See
ing that landing could not be made the
yacht put back to the Orchard, where it
has a harbor.
About twenty members of the Rose
Yacht Club and the Hunter Boat Club
returned from a visit to the Hunter Club
of Reading ON Friday. Part of f-e time
was spent in the Six Mile House. George

Beginning Wednesday. the Chicks
will open another home series OF four
games, after the most successful road
trip in the history of the club. To
date the club is leading the Tri-State
League race by five games and as an
even break at York today and to-
morrow is certainty. the club will
come home with almost as good a lead
as IL had three weeks ago.

ed that the local team has been on
the road since that time and has been
pounding the best pitchers Of each

played an excellent defensive game

Jackson'e players simply burned up
the league
On June 25 the team defeated Har-
rishurg for the leadership of the
league In an 11-inning battle that was
finally decided by a score Of 8 to A..
Many persons said that Il was the best
ball game ever played at Front and

to the road, and although Myers, Mar
hefka and several other men we're out
of the game and in poor condition,
York was taken in tow il to o. All
around the circuit the local team
travelled. dropping only two games
before the Fourth of July. On the
day OF the big celebration they lost
the first of a double bill to Allentown,
