DETAILED STANDING OF NATIONAL
LEAGUE CLUBS.

Things broke exactly right for the
Giants yesterday in the four-cornered
National League fight. st. Louis beat
Boston, while New York won. By the
process the Giants gained several
points and Boston dropped back to
third place, with st. Louis one point
ahead on the second rung.
Johnny McGraw's New York Giants
romped away with their opening
game at Chicago yesterday. Fesreau
showed signs of recovering his old
form, and there was little TO it but
the Giants. Heinie Zimmerman, who
was fined 800 yesterday, gave his
little exhibition of horse play when
he threw the ball into the bleachers
after Burns had made a good catch
of his long fly.
The Giants were interested before
Yesterdays game in the decision to
be handed down by President Tener
on the mixup of the day before, and
they expressed satisfaction when
they learned that none of the Bos-
ton players had been suspended.
Evers was fined 500, as was Heinie
Zlf1uleTDidn. mdIdHbIi6 Eul OlL Will
a s25 fine.
Everybody in the Giant camp seems
TO have taken new confidence. The
players feel that their slump is over.
Manager McGraw said yesterday
that he does not fear the ST. Louis
team. He thinks Matty's victory be-
fore that 10000 crowd the other day
took the backbone out of the enemy.
He still holds the Braves in high es-
TEEN, thlt is confident now that the
danger point is passed.
Dick Rudolph's winning streak was
shattered yesterday, and the Boston
batters failed to show any signs of
recovering from that hitting slump of
the day before at Chicago. George
Stallings is beginning to worry just
"a little. for the team is not showing
an attack as irresistible as it was a
week ago. Home runs by Cruise and
Magee put the kiboeh on Rudolph
and tied the score. Dolan's double
was responsible for the winning run
scored by ST. Louis in the tenth in
ming. Connolly got in a home run,
which Dolan handled carelessly early
in the game, and the other Boston
run came on a balk, so 1t can be seen
that the Braves are not quite up to
their old hitting stride.

BILL BAILEY HERE;
HAD EXCITING TRIP
No Warships, but Many lee
bergs Encountered on Ocean
Voyage.
CAME OVER IN STEERAGE

After many exciting adventures,
Bill Bailey the classy English rider,
arrived in this city this morning.
The tale as told by Bailey reads like
fiction, but many a tale from the war
zone reads the same way and will
continue to read that way.
Bailey, in telling of his experiences
after hostilities broke out between
the warning nations of Europe. said
that there were thrilling times every
place that he went. Bailey had been
riding in Paris just before starting
for Copenhagen for the worlds cham.
pionship meeting. When Bailey
reached Copenhagen he met Leon
Hourlier, the French sprinter; Thor
wald Ellegaard, w. j. 0rmstrom and
Vic Johnson, the two English anna
teurs, and several other stars of the
wheel.
Bailey said that a party Of
German amateurs had arrived in
Copenhagen on the night before the
opening meet and that they all beat
it back to Germany the next day.
Bailey said that that was bad omen
and he decided to leave as soon as
he could possibly make connections
for England. He was requested to
stay over for the first days racing
on Sunday, August 2, and he stated
that he competed in a lap trial on
that day which he won, defeating
Hourlier, Ellegaard and the others
who were there. He left the next
day for England and with him went
Houriier. Bailey tried to get Orm-
strom and johnson to leave with him,
but they decided that there would
not be much danger, SO stopped in
Copenhagen. The two English anna
teurS had strenuous time before
reaching England, according to
Bailey.
After receiving the cable from the
Cycle Racing Association, in regards
riding in this country, and after he
had accepted the terms of the local
promoters. he encountered plenty OF
trouble in getting booked for this
country, he finally being forced to ac-
cept steerage accommodations on the
Andania, a Canadian bound liner,
which landed him in Montreal yester-
day morning.
The voyage over was not inter-
rupted by any war vessels, but plen-
ty of icebergs were encountered on
the way, which forced the captain to
reduce speed for many hours. The
train which brought Bailey from
Montreal to New York was almost
two hours late. After landing in New

to this city, and while his bicycle
equipment was very meagre, he hav-
ing lost most of his paraphernalia in
Copenhagen, he brought with him
frame and will be able to get plenty
of wheels here.
Bailey looked to be in good shape,
and while he is up against the mar
vel of all marvels, Frank Kramer, to-
morrow, he says that he will do his
best. In addition to his match with
Kramer, Bailey will ride his heat of
the worlds cycling derby. which was
held over from last Wednesday OPP

be Eddie Rupprecht, c. B. Georgi,
Frank Cory, John Bedell and Ernie

DALTON PLAYED in GAME
WITH FRACTURED WRIST

ton, have arranged to play a post
season series early in September after
the close of their respective sched
ules.
This interesting information comes
from the pen of Jack Ryder, of the
Cincinnati Enquirer: THE trip to the
coast of the All-Star American and
National League teams may be called
off by Davy Fultz The Athletics are
going as the star American League
team and Banny is picking a team of
National Leaguers to play with them.
They say Davy is sore at the Athlet-
les because they are the only club
which had the nerve to defy his au-
thority when he called a strike in the
Kraft case, and he is opposed to any
club playing against them in exhibi-
ton games. This is strong work, but
il shows the tremendous power that
Fultz has over the athletes when he
can get away with such a thing as
forbidding them to take fine trip,
with good money on the side, just to
show his spite against the Athletics.
1t is remarkable how the players have
fallen for this sort of stuff, even at
the expense of their own pockets"
