member of the 1913 Davis cup team,
and was victorious in one of his two
matches. This year he fell before
Mclaughlin at Longwood, and was
defeated by both Wilding and Brookes
In the Davis cup matches. He en-
tered Harvard In the fall of 1912, and
last year was a member of the var
sity lawn tennis team. During his
sojourn at Cambridge he has made
BroolSline his home and is a member
of the Longwood Cricket Club.
o
Manager McGraw, of the Giants,
evidently figures that his pitching
staff isn't sufficient to carry him on to
victory in the National League PEN
nant race, and thus the purchase of
Marty O'Toole, the pitcher, from the
Pittsburgh club. When announcement
was made that McGraw had secured
O'Toole the question was freely asked,
What is he going to do with him?"
Taking O'Toole on what he has done
for the Pirates would be shame, but
it is evident that McGraw will be able
to use him in some way-perhaps in a
trade.
After a day of rest, the Giants and
! the Braves get into action this after
noon, and those who are interested
will await impatiently the outcome.

ahead of the Braves, and Boston is
| likely to go into the lead any old
lime, though several bets have been
made around here that Stalllngs's
men will never top the pennant race.
The struggle is a mighty one between
the first four clubs, but the next few
days may tell the story. The opinion
seems to prevail that the Braves will
crack under the terrible strain, but
that the Giants, being old stagers at
the game and used to the heat of
battle. will weather the storm and
eventually come on to victory. Stu
others say that st. Louis, which is
third, only a few games in the rear,
Chicago, too, is given a chance, but
the discussion seems to be between
the Giants and the Braves.

When Hugh jennings, of Detroit,
was here Sunday he talked very little
baseball He was so taken DIP with
the bike races that for once he forgot
all about Ty Cobb and the other great
men In the world. He said he en-
joyed himself immensely, and he was
very much interested in Champion
Kramer, of whom he spoke a great
deal. Though an American Lacquer,
Jennings is always pulling for Nc
Graw, of the National League. He
says he hopes the Giants will win the
pennant, and he wouldn't be a bit
surprised If they won the worlds
series. He is out of the pennant race
with Detroit, but next year ne ex-
poets to cut somewhat of a figure
If so, he will tour the country With
Ben Smith, the Newark actor, IN a
vaudeville sketch.

Newark fans are bitter against
Charley Ebbets, of Brooklyn, and
they will never forget or forgive him.
They have overlooked several deals
that have robbed the club of good
players, but this latest Johnny En-
mann sketch Is about the limit in
baseball. For Ebbets to take Enz-
mann from Newark and loan him to
Rochester in order to beat out Provi-
dence is a contemplate trick, and
Ebbets will find 1t out to his sorrow
before he gets through with the In
ternational League. On general prin-
cip1es, the club owners should be
heart and soul with Providence as
against Rochester, for Rochester has
been consistent pennant- winner,
while Providence has won the flag
but once since Newark has been in
the Eastern and now the Internal
tional League. But Ebbets, who is
always pulling "bloomers," has butted
into the fight and he will hear from
it in more ways than one.

| Ebbets, as far as Newark is con-
cerned, is a goner. He cannot hope
! to ask for the support of the fans
| after the way he has treated them.
| He has robbed the team of players
at every turn, but always with the
| MI ha
Brooklyn and that he was advancing
the men in their profession. That
bull has been worked stone dead
| The Enzmann deal has settled all ar
guments in that line. Mr.. Ebbets has
worked himself out of the Newark
map, but who will come forward and
| buy his, property? That is the ques-
| ton that Is worrying more than few
| persons connected with the Interna-
| tional League. Baseball is in such an
uncertain condition that sound BUSH
ness men won't invest their money.
Under favorable circumstances the
| price of the club might be secured in
this city, but as things are now

outside interests are willing to take
chance, and that we will have
new owner here next year. For tho
benefit of the league and those who
have their money in 1t, 1t is well that
such a change Is contemplated, for
the public won't stand for Ebbets any
longer-won't stand for the man from
Brooklyn another minute.
