BOSTON BRAVES FINALLY
TIE GIANTS FOR LEAD

New York, Aug. 24.-Success has
finally crowned the remarkable strug-
gle Of the Boston Braves to work to
the top of the column in the National
league race. Although Stallings' men
did not play yesterday, the champion
New Yorks went into action with Gin
cinnati and lost their third straight
game to the Reds. The Giants were
but a half game ahead and their de-
feat pulled them down to a tie with
the Braves for first place.
George Stallings has made baseball
history for his remarkable feat in
bringing the Braves from the bottom
of the list to the top. On July Is only
a little more than a month age, the
Bostons were in last place. They had
already begun their sensational squirt,
however, and the close OF the follow
ing week found them in fourth place.
Their rise during late July and August
was rapid. Ten days ago they gave
the Giants a stunning by beating them
three straight on the champions home
grounds. McGraw's men have peer
slipping steadily ever since, while Bos-
ton has been tearing along over the
western course In championship form.
The week just endad capped the cli-
max OF Giant retrogression, the lead
ers dropping two olrt of three games
In Pittsburgh and then two to the
Reds. following this up by taking a

IN THE REALMS OF SPORT
RED SOX LOSE
TO GAINESVILLE

The Fargo Red Sox lost a we'll play
ed game to the fast GAINESVILLE team,
getting the small end of a Z to 4 score.
The game was n of the fastest seen
in GAINESVILLE this season and Twilight
the Fargo pitcher was a great form
holding the GAINESVILLE team to seven
four innings Twilight held the Barnes
vile team without a hit or run, but
In the fifth they got to him for three
hits in a row and lone the same in the
seventh winding up with a home run
with two men on bases. The rest Of
the game was a tame affair, Twilight
striking out five men in two innings.
The Fargo bunch hit the first pitcher
Mcdonald at will tnd he had to retire
in the three frame in favor of Glasgow
who also was hit hard and often. Both
teams played a good game from start
to finish and the fans present was
cheering both teams for their good
work. The Fargo bunch went down TO
GAINESVILLE with little or no practise
but they showed that the could hold
their own against the champions of
western Minnesota. The Fargo play
ers done some daring base running and
landed safe on most occasions. Sew
eral sacrifice hits were made by the
Fargo players, The fans at Barnes
Vile turned out in great numbers and
enjoyed a fast and well played game.

third game of the series yesterday.
Boston, instead of going TO pieces,
as other challenging team have done
in sequels to the seasons earlier
bursts of speed by pennant ccntenders,
kept IN playing high class taii during
the week and lost only two games IN
seven, one an exvtra inning struggle

II the Giants, with their pitching
corps demoralized and in the midst
of a batting slump, do not take a
brace soon, they bid fair to ne passed
only by the Braves, but by either
st. Louis or Chicago-perhaps both.
Each of these western teams is play
ing good ball and is close up.
The American league race IS still ex-
