who have played good ball so far on
their western trip too in three from
Callahan's men. The SoX picked up
a little ground by winning yesterday
from Boston.
Some little dropping from form on
the part of the Athletics twirlers has
been noticed. Eddie Plank had one
of his poorest weeks this year. He
was driven from the box once ana

appearances. Bender has been doing

AGAINST GIANTS AT THIS STAGE

ing a Bad Time, While the shakeup in Philadelphia
Seems to Have Worked Results.

lance, 1t is true. stand the Giants, to
whom many have been ready to con.
cede the flag. The season, however, IL
but a trifle more than half over and
even 10 games advantage is not an
~insuperable barrier for a team of the
Corsairs inherent strength. Not even
their warmest friends, perhaps, will
stage, but most dispassinoate observe
ers will be willing to concede them q
chance. At least the prospects are for
a more interesting ace than appeared
probable before the Pittsburgs struck
their July gait.
New York worked their string Of
successive victories up to II during
the week and then fell before Chicago,
which club otherwise faced poorly un-
til striking easier going in Brooklyn.
Sorry Week for Phillies.
The weeks figures make sorry read
ing for friends Of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals. for the club dropped all but
two games in seven and fell back to a
point Z 1-2 games behind the Giants.
Doom gave the club a thorough shak-
ing up during the week and Saturday
results on the side Of the attack, at
any rate. as the team has begun to
bat again.
The CASE is far worse for Brook
lyn, which lost its tenth straight game
Saturday and is now back in the Sec
ond division. Poor pitching has been
the Superba's main trouble. Boston
was far behind Brooklyn, now the
Braves winning five out Of eight
games last week. st. Louis suffered
most at Boston's hands, but won the
final. which, however. saw Manager
Higgins put out Of the game by an
injury.
Cincinnati got an even break on
eight games. finding Brooklyn in the
dumps and taking tour straight.

New York. July 15.-The Giants
held the center of the baseball stage
during the past week, continuing the
winning streak that has put them far
out in front in the National league
race, but as another week opens they
face he possibility Of serious rivalry
from an old time foe.
Chicago seems hardly to have the
all around strength this year to give
the champions a battle, but the base
ball world is fast waking up to the
fact that the Pittsburg have at last
started on a rampage that threatens
serious trouble for clubs ahead Of
them.

victory. They didn't lose a game dur
ing the week and are playing ball of a
higher kind.
It is, Of course, impossible to tell
how long they will keep up this pace,
but an analysis Of the way they have
won their straight victories gives their
friends cause for encouragement. The
pitchers are now apparently back in
the form that caused the staff to be
classed on paper as about the best IN
the league. That the team is batting
well Is attested by the "a hits made
during the week.

Fisher and Doughty, two recent re-
cruits of the Grand Forks CLUB, have
been given their unconditional release.
Fisher looked awful good in the box
on n or two occasions. but didn't
seem able to get into winning form.
He came here from Faribault, Minn.,
where he was quite successful in semi
pro ball.
Doughty Joined the team on its last
trip around the circuit, playing third.
He failed to show the hitting proclivi-
ties that were hoped for.
Tanning, who pitched one game
turned to Lakota. 1t appears that he
was held there by a contract which he
violated by coming to Grand Forks.
Backers of the Lakota club were too
much interested in the success of their
town team to permit him to leave, and
he has returned there to finish the
season. He pitched Sunday against
the Grand Forks Stars, defeating them
4 to o.
Charles Porter of Grand Forks is to
be given a try-out with the Carney
men. playing in right field. He has
made somewhat Of a record on the
Grand Forks White Sox. as we'll as in
semi-pro in the western part Of the
state n Montana, ana carney thinks
he may have something that will help
the Flickertails. Mr.. Porter Is en-
ployed in the NJ. F.. Murphy offices.
The return to form Of Wilson,, as
exemplified in last evenings game,
means a lot for Grand Forks. When
Wilson was taken sick last May he was
going in great shape, inc his illness
doubtless had a lot to do with the sub
sequent slump Of the club. Last
evening he pitched remarkably fine
ball, and not a run was earned from
his delivery.
With Wilson back in shape, and
Jarnigan and Wells going good, the
pitching staff looks better. Morse will
twirl again, too, as soon as the third
station position is filled.
Fred Curtis gang Of pennant chasers
arrived in Grand Forks this afternoon
to stage a three-game series with the
locals. The Superior crew was in a
slump recently. but they seem to have
come back and are going in good
shape at the present time.
Curtis has just been at Winnipeg
with his crew, losing game and
being tied in another.
Bell is a new performer with the
Superior crew. He is an outfielder
and has been doing wonders for the
Curtis outfit. Schauer doubtless will
