The Climbers have a hard week
ahead, with seven games to play in
six days, Chicago, Detroit, and St.
Louis playing farewell engage
ments here.
On Wednesday the Tigers will
open up with a double-header,
made possible by the postponement
of one game during the series here
last July, when, it will be remem-
bered, the big storm nearly showed
the Capital over the Potomac River
into Alexandria.
Grifith's young pitchers-the re-
cruits-will hardly get much of a
chance to show their skill during
the next seven championship
games, as Cleveland must be ouaed
from second place; and the Old
Fox is taking no chances, depend
ing upon his veteran twirlers to ac-
complish the desired results.
Washington starts out the week
two games behind the Naplanders !;
and if the club puts up the kind of
ball it is capable of playing there,
is every reason to believe that next
Sunday will find the Climbers in
the position of runner-up for the
championship.
During the week Just closed seven
games were played, Of which five were
won, all against the Cleveland club. Tho
Nationals dropped the first game Of the
week to New York and the final game
to Chicago yesterday.
The complete rout OF the Maps at the
hands Of the Griffmen came aa a COM
plete surprise. Even the most sanguine
Capital fan could not figure out how the

WOOD CAUSE Of
BOSTON SETBACK
Injury of Smoky" Right
Handler Is Reason Red Sox
Are Not on Top.
M'GRAW SOME PROPHET
John J. Predicted Early in Season the
Downfall of the Worlds
Champions.
M'GRAW SOME PROPHET

John McGraw earned himself home
as a prophet by predicting early in the
season that the Red Sox would be 'the
most quickly forgotten worlds cham.
pion team in history" But John was
Just hazarding little guess when he
pulled the prediction.
In order for McGraw to have fore
seen the collapse OF the Red Sox, he
must have had foreknowledge OF the
injury that has kept down Joe Wood, and
OF the failure OF Pitcher Buck O'Brien-
two important cogs in the winning OF
the 1872 American League title. Unless he
is crystal gazer or a claIrvoyant, then
McGraw must have been shooting at the
stars when he forecast the downfall Of
the McAleerites-
Lack Confidence.
AS a matter OF fact there is nothing
particularly the matter with the Red
Sox now. They are probably Just as
much a worlds championship outfit as
ever, minus the confidence that goes with
success, and-now right here is the gist
OF the whole thing-Joseph Wood.
The injury to Wood cost the Red Sox
first-class chance at the pennant With
Wood performing up TO the top notch of
last season. the team would be out in
AAOAAS VA NAAG <AAlAANAASS bs SOW games
Wood at this time last season had won
about twenty-nine games and lost three.
With pitching, equal to that of 1919, the
Red Sox wouldN now be giving the Ath-
letics the scare Of their lives.
McGrnw should Worry.
Wonder II ]. ]. McGraw ever stopped
to figure the recoil OF that remark about
the Boston Red Sox being the worst
ever" &c. II the Red Sox were such
a weallling outfit, the Giants must have
been still worse to have succumbed IN
the worlds series
In fact, the Giants. In the worlds
series of last year, everlastfngly dis
graced themselves by wasting some Of
the most brilliant pitching ever served up
for any team. Any club that couldn't
win behind the work Of Mathewson In
his three efforts OF last year doesn't
deserve to play in a worlds series.
The showing of the club In that test
Is doing much to give the followers of
the Athletics encouragement, even
though the work OF the main reliance
pitchers OF the White Elephants has ap-
peared to fan away In the last month
That the Giants defense VIII crack un-
der pressure seems to be the prevailing
opinion among those who followed closely
the work of the club during the big
games.

CLUB DINNER CANCELLED.

The Current Event club wish to
announce that they were unable to
hold the Home Industry Fair at the
city hall, as advertised last week, the
city has been obliged to use SO much
space in the city hall basement, for
storing tile that there was not room
enough to make any display, 80 the
ladies were unable to carry out their
plans.
The Merchants have all kindly
promised to make window displays,
and we hope every one will buy, eat,
and boost Idaho products during this
week.
The club ladies wish to thank all
who kindly offered to help, either by
donation or otherwise, we also wish
to thank the newspapers for the
splendid write-up they gave last
week on Home Industry.
We hope next year, with the CO.
operation of the producers, mer-
chants, aid business men to make
Home Industry week the greatest
boost for Idaho ever held.
