closeness comes a three-gaD series
at Boston, beginning tf-Gf. One
game is on this morning and e other
this afternoon, and, as the Braves ball
park isn't large enough to aceommo-
date the crowd, the American League
grounds have been brought into use.
1t is needless to say that all records
for attendance will be broken today.
and there will be another game in
the Hub tomorrow. No matter who
gets the games, the club owners will
get the dough, and this is something
they are entitled to and need badly.

AS to the winner of the pennant,
there seems to be much doubt. There
is a lot of confidence as to what
McGraw and his men will do, but
George Stallings and his men are the
popular choices. If the pennant was
put to a vote the Braves would win
hands down, but the clever men in
baseball are sticking to the Giants.
The three games at Boston will cut
worst the Giants ought to do is to win
one out of the three The teams won't
again play until September 80, when
they will clash in New York in a
four game series.
o
The betting on the outcome of the
pennant race is very brisk. The big
money is behind the Giants, and
though the teams are tied, the odds
are to against the Braves. Chicago
still has chance, and st. Louis is
not far away. If one of the two fight
ing teams happens to crack, it may be
that Chicago will finish second. a
real smart fellow is picking the
Giants to win, the Cubs the runner
up and the Braves third. Evidently
to falter.

The criticism of Charley Ebbets, the
Brooklyn magnate and director of af-
fairs in Newark, printed in these col
umns recently, has met with the

Birds" to make Ebbets appear as a
patriot and a friend have caused

self. If Ebbets has treated Newark
right in baseball way we would like
to see where. He has not and he will
have to suffer the consequences, for
the fans won't stand for any more of
his monkeyshines. To take our best
players away was bad enough, but to
ship Johnny Enzmann, the great~1it-
tie pitcher, to Rochester was about
the limit. 1t plainly shows that Eb-
bets is not satisfied with wrecking the
Newark team for the direct benefit of
his own club, but he even goes so far
as to use our players in deals with
other clubs. For sending Pitcher
Enzmann to Rochester Ebbets is sure
to be repaid for his kindness, but he
may not get away with it as sweetly
as he thinks. In his position, Ebbets
had no business to interfere in the
fight for the pennant between Roches-
ter and Providence, and the proviso
that Enzmann was not to pitch
against Newark was a rather cheap
proposition. The Ebbets deal with
Rochester for Enzmann does not look
good at all, and it is surprising that
President Barrow has stood for it.
Talking about Ebbets and the eff
fort to show what a good friend of
Newark he is, the following commune

Take q peep at the Sad Birds
grand write-up on what Charlie
Wrecker Ebbets intends to give us
next year. 1t reminds one of the
story of the goose and the golden
egg. After he kills himself in New
ark he tries to console us by telling
us what he intends to do next year.

Francis Ouimet's hollow victory over
Jerry Travers on Saturday came as
surprise. For Ouimet to win was
nothing out of order, but for. the
youngster te lead Travers on the
course by up and to play was
something awful. Ouimet, by his vic
tory, is now the champion, and Tray-
ers will have to accept him as the
master. Surely this young fellow,
who has been the sensation In golfing
circles for year past, is entitled to
his honors. We are still strong for
Jerry, but he has met better man.

Do you think the canoe races held
at Weequahic Park were won fairly
one side (the Tuscaroras) having rae
ing shells and the other side Ohe
Wyonas), having their regular heavy
| canoes? Don't you think both sides
should have the same kind of canoes
when racing? CANOE.
AS long as the Tuscaroras did not
violate any of the conditions govern
ing the race, no fault can be found
with their victory. They We're out for
victory and evidently prepared in the
best way they knew how in order to
bring about this result.
