Trinidad opened the third period;

ball for ten yards and failing to adj

yard line and Ration had possession

forward pass to Boan Ration made a
touchdown and kicked goal tying
the score. ~
During the last quarter neither
team scored, though the playing was
most brilliant on the part OF both
teams. Ration seemed to regain their
feet and held the Trinidad boys
scoreless for the remainder Of the
game. Gillispie made a, brilliant
open field run and looked like a
touchdown for Ration but for the

though they are not being observed
so closely because OF the magnificent
sport Of the Braves. However, the
battle is still young and the struggle
to the end will take the strength and
show the class of tho teams. When
1t comes down to cases, the best team
will win the race. 1t may be the
Giants or the Braves or the Cardinals
-and it might be our old favorites,
the Chicago Cubs.
o
Contrary to opinions. the Giants are
not through by any means. Evidence
of this is the fact that McGraw hasn't
made a move, though his losses have
been numerous and positive. He is
sitting tight, despite the slump, which
leads one to believe that he must feel
that his men are all right. but the
breaks" are all wrong. 1t is true
that his pitchers have not been pro-
ducing the goods, and he is perhaps
waiting until they get over the siege,
but no one can deny that in Mathew
son, Marquard and Tesreau, no better
battery could be desired when all
three are going at their best. AS to
the other players on the New York
team, with the possible exception OF
Stock, the Giants are as good as the
next. He has seasoned men, too, who
have been in pennant fights before
and who know what the strain is.
Even this year, the Giants have
stood the test and have battled off at
various times Brooklyn. Cincinnati
and Chicago. and have played Pitts
burgh into submission. 1t may be,
though, that, once coilared. their sport
will be crushed entirely.
@
The race in the International
League is close enough, but owing to
war times 1t is not creating as much
as would have prevailed 9TH
erwise. AS far as the pennant is con-
cerned. Newark is about out of it,
though a streak of victories would
put the team very much in the swim.
The first division is the aim of the III
gers and they may finish there, if they
are lucky. Providence looks pretty
good as the leader. but it was gener-
ally observed that John Camel
and Rochester are not very far away.
Jack Dunn and his Baltimore Orioles
would very likely have won the pen
nant this year. but Jack couldn't
stand the strain. He had the team,
but he sold his best men to get out of

will soon see how game they are.
O.
AS far as property goes. pennant
victory for Boston would be the best
thing that could happen In baseball
this year. The remarkable race put
up by the Braves has created excite
ment in the game and the fans would
like to see somebody else win. any
way" Boston has caught the popu-
lar pulse and George Stallings, the
manager, seems to be the hero of the
hour. The game fight his team has
made in the climb from the very
last place to the pinnacle in the race
has carried the fans to his side On
the street corners, in the cafes,
everywhere, the talk is of Stalllnas
and his Braves. In Newark he Is
prime favorite and the Giants are
nowhere when he Is around. Through
out the baseball world the feeling Is
for Boston, yet that won't win the
team the pennant The strong arm
in the box and the good old stick at
the bat are what count In the great
national game.
O.
While the Braves have reached the
top, their troubles have just begun,
The Giants, though collared. will not
lie down and allow Boston to run
over them. The resouEoeful John Me-
Graw will take a lot of beating and
he viii be the toughest customer in
the world to subdue. The slump of
the Giants doesn't look real at all.
The team is better than the game she
Is showing and there must be a
remedy for the ailment Some say 1t
is the pitchers; others say it is Just
a case of the team OUTLYING its use
