Weighed in the scales of percentage,
the Giants and Braves are evenly
matched in the big struggle for pos
session of first place in the National
League, which began at Fenway
Park Boston, this morning. New
England sentiment, however, over
whelmingly fayors George Stallings's
sensational combination that may be
next opponents of the Philadelphia
Athletics in the worlds series. 1t Is
the beginning of a series of three
games and upon the outcome will de-
pend largely either clubs chances for
the league championship.
The Giants, accustomed TO the vic
tors end of the spoils, as they have
been for the last three years, arrived
in the Hub City last night with that
last determination Of al soldier about
to be stripper of his flag. The Braves
on the other hand, with a strong de-
sire for conquest on and off their bat
tleieid, refuse to break ground and
they continue to dispute McGrawss.
right to another pennant. 1t is doubt
full whether a closer or more exciting
race for a pennant has ever been
known in baseball than the present
one in the old major league circuit.
To ward off the Braves in the press
ent series is going to be most diff
cult task for the Giants. The Braves
are aspiring for something which
they have not had, while the issue
of the Giants is to keep what they
possess the National League cham
pionship. 1t is a question, beginning to-
day which team will show the more
fight. McGraw's aggressiveness is not
to be questioned. However, George
Stallings, now the miracle man OF
baseball" will urge his men on with
even more determination than his
rival leader at this time, when the
opportunity is presenting itself for
him and his men to realize their fond
est ambition-a National League
championship and a chance at the
worlds series. AS has been mentioned
the series beginning today in Boston
may tell heavily on the pennant
prospects of the contending teams. No
one realizes this more than the play-f
ers of both clubs. A sweep of the
series by the Braves would probably.
be fatal to the Giants, and vice versa
Each club seems to be well pre-
pared. The Braves have that sensa ?
tional trio of fingers. Rudolph, James.
and Tyler ready, while the New York
players will pin their hopes in

he did no playing against the Giants
in the championship contests. Then
he returned to the University of

Oyertures to the strife between or
ganized baseball and the Federal
League, were said to be up for con-
sideration at "a special meeting Of the
National Baseball Commission, which
was called in Chicago today. Pres
sure has been heavy from the minor
leagues in favor of a settlement for
some time, according to baseball ex-
perts in Chicago. This was said to
be due to the financial losses suffered
in some of the minor organizations.
together with the lack of purchasers
for minor league talent. Settlement of
the strife by peace compact or by
declaration of a truce, has been
advocated strongly by some of the
minors and it was reported that the
commission was preparing to act as
a clearing house for definite sugges-
tions.

lures last week at the Institute by
virtue Of Jacks een-second knock
out of Milton Webb. Joe Toomey, Of
