New York, July 27.--The approach of
August finds the teams in the major
league baseball races down almost TO
the vanishing point, so far as the pre-
mier berths are concerned
With Pittsburgs upward rush
checked by three straight defeats by
the Giants and neither Philadelphia nor
Chicago displaying sustained winning
power. there seems nothing to prevent
New York from taking another National
league pennant.
In the American league the situation
is much the same, with the Athletics in
Washington seriously refusing to con-
cede Connie Mack's men another
chance at the major slice of worlds
series money.
The breaking up of the Pirate at
tack on the Giants pennant aspirations
was the big feature of the baseball

Another feature was the small num-
ber of contests staged Instead of the
usual so to 80 or moro games only 40

Among other points of interest is the
showing of the Senators. Griffith's
lively crew has lost but two games in
the last two weeks and is gaining in
percentage rapidly Only a game and a
half separates them from the Cleve-
lands, who managed to keep pace with
the Athletics, each of these last two
clubs having Won four and lost two
games in the week. Washington is IL

GIRLS" CAUSE RIOT.
Pop Bottles Flew When Sex of Ball
Team Was Revealed.

Washington July 22.-One police
man is in a hospital, two others are
nursing bruises and awaiting new uni
forms and part of the Union League
baseball park is a wreck today as the
result of a riot at a Sunday baseball
game when 1000 enthusiasts discov-
cred that a team of "BlOOmer" girls
were men in disguise The team was
taken to an eastbound train under po-
lice protection. A half hour before the
storm, the manager of the girls ac-
Quired the gate receipts.
The team was so successful here
four weeks ago that it returned for a
second appearance, the opposing nine
being an amateur organization from
Laurel, Md. The trouble began when
the girls center fielder, husky
young blonde, threw ball from deep
center to home plate, catching the
runner. The spectators grew suspi-
ciouS.
A moment later a boy slipped be-
hind the supposed divinity at third
base and gave the golden locks a
vigorous pull. They came away, re-
vealing a chunky young man with an
elaborate makeup. The team fled
through a storm of bottles and bricks
