FROM THE
 MANAGERS VIEWPOINT. Leaders of Giants, Braves, Cards and Cubs Figuring on the Pennant.

Despite the fact that nearly all Europe is at war and occupying most of the space in the daily newspapers. the attention of the public is also drawn to the race in the National league for the pennant. It has been many years since the fight has been so warm, and with four clubs play ing nip p-and-tuck ball, excitement is at ahigh pitch, and. i'll fact, if things keep. going as they are the war IS Each of the managers of the four Ikading teams in the old league believe that this team will come through, and they have something to say below which may interest the fans:
 Miller Husgins.
 I do not like to say what chances we have for the pennant, but l have confidence in my men. and they are not backward in making predictions. That we will be in the worlds series money and that we have stronger team than either New York, Boston or Chicago is the collective opinion of the men. The players think we can win, barring unforeseen difficulties. The other teams have nothing on us in any way at present. My pitchers are going along well, the team is hit ting and fielding and the men are one and ali taken up by the possibilities before them. The figures show that we have made no sensational squirt to the top We have merely played good ball all season and ought to finish even stronger than when we started.
 George staliinss.
 Every one knows I am little super stitious in baseball. so I am not claim ing a flag, but I will say that there Cardinals. I do not figure the Cubs in the running. have three pitchers who have worked wonders for the past six weeks. They are not show ing signs Of being under a strain. We have moved 25 per cent. faster than variably we can beat any club in the league on a few runs. and we have been getting these. The Cubs scored nine runs against us on Monday, and that was rare occurrence. Two runs would have won for us to-day. but Cheney was in great trim. We will do our most effective work after returning to Boston.
 John J. McGraw.
 We have been meeting with some hard luck, have played some bad ball and frequently have not had a break in the game. All these factors have hit us hard, and we have lost games that we should have won. I am not in the habit of making predictions on
 
 one. but am confident that in the supreme test the Giants will not fail to show that the fight is in them which has carried them through for three years. We will keep going right along at the best and hardest pace which We can set in the struggle for the flag.
 Henry O'Eay.
 I am not given to making pennans predictions. but right now see where we have a chance to win the flag Hard luck in the way of injuries has hit us. but even these have not hampered us greatly. Our pitchers have only been going fairly, but in the last week have showed improvement Our last trip East was disastrous, but had Larry Cheney been pitching reg ularly. as he Is at present, we would have returned home in first place When Cheney is working right the other pitchers seem to follow suit. By beating the Braves in two out of three games we showed what we could do No other team in the league has been able to equal this of late
