Giants May Win Race, But
Struggle viii Be Bite,
Braves and Cards Are Giving New York Team Hard Run
For the League Leadership; Giants Must Look
to Pitchers to Garry Them Through;
Can Matty and Demaree Do 1t?
By FRANK c. MENKE.

I'd TO their old standard The team is II
a slunnp-and q bad one
It's up TO Matty. Tesreau. Marquard and
Demaree TO keep the champions around the
ton Demaree hasn't delivered this year
Naruuard is pitching in-and-out ball-a
great game one day and poor one the
next Tesreau has been pitchlng tine ball
Nattv has pitched better baseball than at
any time in his long career This pair has
carried the brunt Of the Giants fight But
how long can they keep 1t up2
II they can last out for another month
II NAV be sufficient time for Marquard
and Demaree to come through" But, at
the rate they have been travelling. that
month may use them up Ihey may pitch
themselves out-and then AcGraw will
have to depend on pitchers in whom he has
no confidence-and in whom the players
have but little real confidence this year
If you were TO ask manager George
Stallings. Of the Braves, what It was that
lifted his club from the bottom almost to
the top in less than a month he probably
would tell you It vas good pitching good
fielding and good batting And he might
tell you IL was a charm that was given to
him on July Is Stallings is sUperstitious
and he thinks that a lucky coin has a lot
Knowing Of Stallings's superstitious be-
lIefs. Can't Rice. a retired army officer
gave a Spanish coin to the Boston manager.
It was an ancient piece that was found
in a little bag around the neck OF a rebel
soldier in Hayti who had been killed in one
Of the skirmishes down there. The rebel
was a member OF voodoo organization and
was regarded as one OF its little spell
Rice gave the coin to stalIinEs and on
the very day he did the Braves won the
game that lifted them out OF the cellar for
the first time since the season opened
StaIIines is sure that the lucky piece has a
lot TO do with what the Braves have been
