than Boston. They nave been through
the mill several times, and they will
be able to rest better and sleep when
things look blue than will the Braves
It is a great fight, and has been the
greatest help in the world to organ
lied baseball But for the onward
rush of Stallings and his Braves, the
Federal League would be attracting
more attention these days. AS mat
ters stand, the Feds are not getting
much more than a glance. In fact,
it comes from a very able source that
the Feds will be doing business
with the regulars before the coming
winter is over.
The Braves in first place may be even
a much better team than the Braves
who started at the bottom and worked
their way up to the top. Their fight
has been a gallant one and they de-
serve the highest praise for their eff
forts. They fought every foot Of the
way and they reached the top only
after gallant struggle. On July II
Boston was in last place, and now on
September 3 the same team is show
ing the way. The Giants, with the
exception of an hour or so, have been
in the lead since May 30. Since then
| they have been attacked several times
and have driven the enemy to cover
When the Braves came along the
Giants battled them off and the pre-
diction was freely made that Boston
would never lead the league. But
Boston is today leading the league
and the Giants will find them worthy
| foemen to dispose Of The Braves are
full of energy over their showing and
they will not give in until they are
well whipped.
o
If the schedule of games is not in
terfered with today, the Giants will
play two games over in Brooklyn and
the Braves will play one game in
| Philadelphia. If the Braves win, tho
| Giants cannot go in the lead, even II
/
| Superbas. Boston is a game in the
lead, in that 1t has won two more
games than New York and has los
| the same number. The percentage /:
seven points, and if the Giants wiz
both games today and Boston Ii
beaten, New York will again go IL
the lead. II the Giants should wiz
| two games and Boston didn't pla,
the teams would be tied, each will
the same number of games won anc
the same number of games lost.

Newark fans are roofing for Stall
ings and his Braves to win the pen
nant and the fans the country over
from all accounts, feel the same wa,
about 1t. The Giants are not popu
lar by any means, but they hav
been winners Just the same. TIL
fans want a change, and they woul
welcome the Braves as champions.
i public opinion is of any help Sailing
will win the flag hands down. II
has the fans back of him, and the
would like to see him represent tn
National League in the worlds serie.
McGraw and the Giants have ha
three chances in as many years an
they have failed each time. The Ma
tional League rooters would rattle
take chance on a new propositio
and that's why there is so much pull
ing for Stallings and the Braves.
