So far this season the Giants hay,

McGraw Is Becoming Doubtful.
) The Giants have been trying to wiz
games on straight baseball through
our supposed superiority in hitting ant
base running. Just before We started
west on this trip McGraw said:
3 We're going to. begin trying some
thing now. If we get away with il
about half the. time We ought to hold
the Braves, But we're going to try to
pull stuff to cross up the other side
/ don't look to see the. Braves win
the pennant but am afraid they will
hold US back and hold up close
enough so that, all the clubs win get
punched up around the lead and some
other team win come through and nose
us out. Stallings has quite a few
double headers to play before the end
OF the season and he is going to find
the travelling much tougher when he
faces a schedule of double headers
with only three pitcher Z.
Evers lnduIges In Repartse.
Beth Stallings and EYefs are trying
to keep the Boston players minds of
the championship. These two wise
baseball men know the strain of cham
pionship dreams is more apt to crack
the club, now than anything else.
Have you split up the winners share
of the money yet, Johnnie?" Mike
Donlin shouted at Evers from the
coaching lines when the Boston club
was in New York recently. 1t got to
Evers.
81 have been in a few more worlds
series than YOU replied Johnnie, "and
know that you cant count on any
thing until the last game Of the season
is in. There's no use in the Giants
splitting up, either, quite yet.
Umpire. Has Fun With Boston.
There is an umpire down in the
Southern league who thinks he is a
great joker. When the Giants were
playing an exhibition game in Atlanta
several springs ago he precipitated a
row in which Devlin and two or three
other New York players. became in
volved. For, some reason this man
does not seem to like the Boston club
His name, as recall It, is Brewster.
From the time the season opened until
the Braves started on their magnifi-
cent squirt the first part of July Brews-
ter kept firing volley after volley of
postal cards at the different members
of the club, on each card asking some
such pertinent question as:
How do you like it down there in
last place? Do you think you are
playing with a big league team
When the Braves we're in New
York several members of the team
wanted to fire postal cards at this UNI
pire with good comeback penned on
them.
shall we, Johnnie?" Devore asked
Evers.
Not on your life," replied the
shrewd little second baseman. If we
did he'd be tickled to death, because
be could go around and sell our auto
graphs after we win the worlds cham

Chief Myers In Slump. - 49,
Every ball player no matter how
good he is, will get a streak once in
i while when nothing will break for
him. Then comes the worst battle
that Big Lacquer is forced to face
he fight to cure himself Of slump.
Chief Meyers has been trying to fight
off just such a slump before the team
eft for the, western trip. The Chief
was glad to get away from the Polo
grounds for, he believed the. change
