out for it and knocked it down and
then recovered in time to throw John

inning there was a similar play. With

its elimination last week, when First

loose in the arm. He had to be carried
off the field. and was examined by DR.

can League teams IL the race next sea-
son is to be more worthy of patronage
than has been the present one. Another
runaway with the pennant stares the
Johnsonian circuit in the face, for there
does not appear to be a team in sight
which stands a chance to give the Mack
men hard struggle. All the others are
weak in comparison, and the chances are
than he has ever been before Boston
gives every indication of being the run
ner-up in this race. Carrigan has a bet
ter team than any of his rivals below
him, and yet he lacks the class to beat
out the Athletics, if Macks team is
intact
That Detroit team with a few changes
would be dangerous, not SO much to the
Athletics. but as contenders for the
runner-up position. Griffith, like Jen-
he can be fortunate enough to pick up
men for the positions which need a
change and thereby increase his batting.
for it is in this department that the
teams appears to amount to much. and
with better start in the spring the
Cleveland Maps will compare favorably
with the other contenders.
Boston's success is, of course, largely
due to the consistent work three of Stall
lings' pitchers are doing. James, Ru-
dolph and Tyler are doing the kind of
pitching that will make team winner
This is particularly true of James, who
is proving himself one of the hardest
pitchers to score runs on Judged on

The Braves and Giants are on their last
western trip. Within a few days they
vaders until nearly the end of the sea-
son. 1t will be during this period that
the question OF which team shall play
the Athletics for the worlds title will
be decided.
While temporarily Handicapped there is
still chance for both Cardinals and Cubs,
which are only comparatively few
points behind the leaders.
It is evident that Manager Griffith does
not propose to leave himself open for a
Federal League raid this winter. By the
time the season is over he will have every
player he intends to carry into the next
season under an ironclad contract. While
it is true that some of these players
could be replaced to an advantage 1t is
best to retain them until some that are
superior are available Out of the ma
terial Griffith will have signed up by next
spring he will have the nucleus for a
winning team, but nothing more can be
claimed for 1t. The present aggregation
has some. II not many. weak spots in
it, on what has been shown to date.
These may be but temporary failings.
but their existence this year accounts
for the teams rather disappointing
showing.
1t has been a hardship to have two
players who were such sterling hitters
last year, Gandil and Morgan, fall down
IN tnelr SUCK Work IN the present CAM
paign. Neither has hit anywhere near
his standard and as result lot OF
games have been lost which last year
would have been won. Nor would the
charged weakness of the pitching staff
be so apparent If these players had hit
anywhere near their true form.
The one thing that present conditions
in base ball have brought about is a
lack of discipline among the players. be-
cause some of them have felt all along
that they would be received with open
arms by the Federals. These players have
been standing in their own light. and
have been a detriment to their clubs.
But there is sure TO be big difference
when the Federals are either off the map
or. in the fold. for one or the other is
sure to happen sooner or later. Then
the players who have taken advantage
of present conditions by not giving their
clubs their best efforts will have to suffer.
There will have to be some vast i'm

FEW PERSONS WATCH
SWIMMING CONTESTS
Small Crowd Attends South Atlantic
Races-Jones Wins Close
Event.

The south Atlantic swimming cham
pionships held yesterday in the Potomac
proved a rather uninteresting affair
There were not many entries in any Of
the events. and the crowd was small The
competition, though, at times was good
and several of the boys showed good
form.
Perhaps the feature event was the
half mile, in which Jones of Western
High and Krogstad of the Washington
Swimming Club finished within three
yards of each other. Krogstad made a
fine squirt in the last fifty yards and
crawled up on Jones considerably. He
really touched the float first. but as a
gust of wind, which had suddenly driven
across the river, had carried the end Of
the float toward which Jones was swim
ming completely around he did not get
to it until after his opponent though he
was ahead. The judges rightly gave the
race to Jones.
Another Western High School young
ster took first place when Thompson
won the 100-yard novice. He took the
event easily. The mile race was won by
krog stad, while Bennett, another Wash
ington club swimmer. was given first
place in the fancy diving contest.
