The junior Ebbets, president of tn,
Newark Club, has not given up hop,
OF the Tigers finishing we'll up to tn,

how successful the team is, but he |:

The Giants are not going to have
such runaway race in the National
League as indicated in the early sea-
son games. The Chicago Cubs. old
rivals of the Giants, are playing great
ball and are giving the New Workers
hot battle for the lead. The Giants
are now on their Western trip and
much will depend on what they do.
So far they have been playing losing
ball and it will require stiff brace
to check the slump. 1t looks familiar
to see the Cubs hugging the Giants,
although everybody said they would
never amount to shucks after losing
Tinker, Evers and Chance. Still with
out these stars the Cubs are playing
great ball, and it shows that the sue
cess of baseball is not up to the few.

While the Philadelphia Athletics
seem to be the class of the American
League and their chances of winning
appear the brightest the fact must
not be overlooked that Hugh Jennings
has a Detroit team in the field. The
Detroits are following the Athletics
very close, and the Chicago White
Sox, now in third place, are coming
like house af1re. The sudden brace
of the White Sox is attributed to the
fact that Hal Chase has jumped the
team. Washington, which was looked
upon as the team the Athletics would
have to beat, is now down in fourth
place, but not out of sight by any
means. The race is sure to be inter-
esting in both the American League
and the National League, but we will
likely see the Giants and the Athlet-
les fighting 1t out in the worlds series
as usual.
Jack Dunn is not going to allow
baseball to break him. He expects to
finish the season in Baltimore, but
he is selling his best players at the
highest market prices. The sale of
Cree, Twombly and Derrick netted
Dunn $4,000 and he sold Ruth and
Shore the pitchers, and Egan, the
catcher, to Cincinnati for $4,000.
Dunn is said to have paid only s35, 900
for the club, and as he has been a
n. oney maker ever since securing con-
troll of the orioles, he will probably
get out of Baltimore with a few dol
lars to the good.

The death of ossie Schreckengost,
the baseball catcher, recalls the days
of the famous battery, "Waddell and
Schreck." These were the old relia-
bles who first brought fame and pen
nants to Connie Mack, and their
names will live long in baseball, al
though both men died in not very
glorious circumstances. Waddell, who
should have been worth thousands,
was taken care of by Mack in his de-
clining days, and Schreck didn't have
any more of the worlds goods than
the law allows. Waddell was a vic
tim of tuberculosis and Schreckengost
succumbed after a short illness of a
complication of diseases. 1t was
famous pair, indeed, and one didn't
outlive the other many months.
Says dispatch from Waco, Tex:
1.-THE Austin club of the Texas
League has established what is be-
lieved to be new worlds record of
twenty seven consecutive defeats
