NEW YORK GIANTS MADE
BEST RECORD FOR PAST WEEK

New York, Aug. 18.--Nto new view
point in the championship outlook in
either of the major leagues has been
developed by the past seven days of
baseball. OF the leaders in the Ma
tfonal and American circuits, the New
York Giants gained a half game and
the Philadelphia Athletics lost one full
game, leaving the situation practically
unchanged after a week of interrupt
ed schedules padded with double
headers
Playing better ball than any one Of
the other clubs, McGraws winning i've
games and losing one, not only more
than held its own, but made up the
ground lost to: the Phillies during the
squirt Of Dooin's players in the previ-
Ous fortnight.
The Giants by their return to form
brought their total Of victories and de-
feats to IA and 6 in three weeks past.
The Phillies figures in the same period
Is IL won and lost. In the last week
they dropped two out of five. For
some time the Philadelphia club has
been looked upon as the only one that
stood between McGraw and this third
consecutive pennant but with less
than two months to go, the ,Phillies
are not even holding their own.
A better balanced week than the
one just ended in the American league
probably has not been furnished be-
fore in this season. Cleveland, Chi
cago and Washington each broke but
little better than even, winning three
and losing two.
Detroit split even, two and two, and
the Athletics and the New Yorks won
two and lost three. This left the ST.
Louis club winning but one ont of five
ond the Bostons winning three out Of
four.
The present leads of the Giants and
the Athletics prompted the national
commission to set Oct as the day on
which the 1913 world series will start
II these clubs win the pennants
Marquard and F'romme, with two
Victories each, Tesreau getting the
NTH, carried the Giants across their
week of success. Mathewson being
charged with the only defeat.
Chicago also won five and dropped
two. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh each
won four and lost three, and Friday
played fourteen inning tie. Phila-
delphta did not get in a game until
Thursday, when double-hea vic
tory was followed by a single triumph
Friday, after which theaPhillies spoil
ed their week with q double loss at
Chicago. Boston split on the week,

ST, Louis and Cincinnati each tried
their best to be located in the cellar
at dusk Saturday. The Reds lost sew

standing the fact that they also won

In either league standing. .
Besides Marquard and Fromme,

pitcher to win twice in the week. In
the American Mitchell (Cleveland),
Groom and Scott repeated. But the
star In tWirling was Washington's Wal
ter Johnson, who ran his string up

Johnson, aside from this achievement,
pitched his way to the front in the
major leagues. His twelfth straight
was his twenty-sixth triumph of the
season, against five defeats.

The request Of waivers on sheckard,
Bates, Egan and Suggs and the sale
OF Devere to the Phillies was followed
by counter statements by Preside Mt
Hermann and Manager Tinker of
Cincinnati as to the policy being pur-
sued In building up the Reds. Tinker
yesterday announced he was ready to
join the long list of Cincinnati's ex-
managers unless given more leeway.

of them in the National circuit, Pitts

from The Sycamore True Republican;
B. M. Calkins has sold out his inter-

Holmes to James T. Boyle, the deal
being consummated Saturday and
taking effect Monday morning.
The announcement of the retirement
of Mr.. Calkins was received with con-
siderable surprise as he has been iden-
titled with Sycamore's business life for
nearly a quarter of a century. Twenty
three years ago, he entered the en-
ploy of the late Charles Crosby, who
conducted a clothing establishment in
the corner store building now occupied
by Winders & Laskey. He remained
with Mr.. Crosby until the death Of the
latter. The business was then pur-
chased by Charles Stuart of this city
and Mr.. Calkins continued with him
for five years and then formed a part
nership with the late George Holmes
and purchased the stock of Isaac Con-
art and continued a gents furnishing
establishment in the building now oc-
cupied by Chatfield e Campbell. Upon
the death Of Mr. Holmes Mr.. Calkins

year and then sold an interest to his

~ TWEEN GIANTS AND WHITE sOx
MEETING WITH SUCCEss-MANY
PHONE OFFERS OF HELP.

If anyone doubted that it would be
difficult to arrange the guarantee for
the great game of baseball which will
dedicate the new stadium they little
realized the great interest the people
of the northwest have taken in these
two teams.
Many fans have phoned to the COM
mittee in charge stating that they
wanted to help in the guarantee and
the announcement in Saturdays Forum
has created much enthusiasm over the
project in many parts of the state. At
Detroit yesterday afternoon an infor-
NAL meeting of fans was held and they
not only will do everything in their
power to help, but they will apply for
g. special train. Towns along the
southwestern also want to come and
special trains will probably be run on
that line.
Because all profits are to go to the
Improvement of the stadium which Is
Fargos new open air civic center, bus
iness men feel very free to help out
in a guarantee of this kind, while If
the game was in the hands of private
individuals the public could not of
course, have the same interest.
The committee is meeting again this
afternoon and efforts will be made to
settle the exact date as soon as possi-
