The squabble between Cesar Moretti
and Jackie Clark has been patched up
and the boys are as chummy as two
peas. Moretti was very sorry for his
attack on Clark apd 1t was the italian
who showed himself big fellow by
making overtures for peace with
Clark. He felt badly for having been
In a fight and he felt doubly so for
having lost his head so completely as
to strike such little fellow. Clark
admits he was partly at fault, and he
refused to allow Moretti to take all
the blame Jackie and Cesar were to-
gether Monday night after the races.
They were seen walking up Market
street arm-in-arm. The scrap didn't
amount to much at all and lasted only
a few seconds. Clark is a poor fighter
and Moretti couldn't whip a sick hen.

Boston is in the lead again in the
National League pennant race and
the New York fans are wondering
whether this Is the beginning of the
end. The game yesterday in Boston
was poor one from a New York
standpoint and 1t looks as if Rube
Marquard is an out-and-out Jonah.
He has lost eight straight games and
in that lot he has pitched some real
good ones. But he doesn't seem
able to win. This makes Manager
McGraw depend on two pitchers
Matty and Tesreau. big Six" Is
hit as a general thing when hits
mean runs. big Jeff" Is going very
good and he may be relied upon 70
stand the terrific pace. Demaree is
Just so good, and the Giants must hit
hard behind him. Marty O'Toole, the
new acquisition, is an uncertainty
His one game was fair one, but
nothing extra He might prove q
wonder and then again he may not
win another game. He win get an
other chance against Brooklyn, whom
he defeated in his only start for the
Giants, but it was noticed that Nc
Graw didn't put him in against Bos-
ton. 1t is the pitchers, in the long
run, that tell the tale, and the club
that wins out will have the better
staff of twirlers and in better form
than the other fellow.
C
At every change in the standing
there is a change of opinion among
the fans. When the Giants show
well the Giants are the boys and
that they will win the pennant Is
heard on all sides. It is the same
when the Braves play winning ball.
A wise old scout who is well yersed
in the game and conservative in his
views told me this morning thai be
thought the Giants>would win out in
the end, but that it would be very
close fit He said that while the
Braves must be given credit for their
wonderful jump from last place to the
leadership he felt that they had had
more than their share of luck. He al
lowed, too, for the luck that is gen.
orally on the winners side. but he
declared that Boston got more than
her share of the breaks. New York,
he said. had good ball club, but
there seemed to be something wrong.
The players, he averred, were up a
tree. and he pointed out several in
stances where one outfielder waited
for another to go after a fly ball.
The men appeared to be afraid to
take a chance to catch a ball and
were all up in the air, said the old
scout.
O.
The remainder of the schedule, ac-
cording to my expert friend, is all in
favor of New York; although he said
that the Braves would do better
against Philadelphia than the Giants
would do against Brooklyn. That
seems to be the feeling all around
That Charley Ebbets and his Super
has, 1t is well known, are not at al
| friendly with McGraw and his men
while the Phillies haven't much use
for the Giants either. and would Just
as leave see the Braves carry off tbs
fiag. Another thing, the majority o.
