OTHER SPORT COMMENT

Those New York Yankees are a happy
bunch these days Every time they look
at the standing Of the National League
somebody starts jingling change.
Guess We had better send out a fSV
scouts to look over the New York
Giants remarked one Of Chances
pitchers last night. for We will have to
play those guys in October for the city
championship"
From Frank Chance down to the bat
boy, said boy being here with the YankA
the belief is that McGraw's club has
shot its bolt.
The Giants haven't the pitchers to
stand the gaff-that lets them out" said
Ed Sweeney the big catcher.
Ten men left on the base paths ex-
plains why the Nationals lost the second
game Of the series to the New Yorkers
here yesterday. On several occasions
Grim youngsters were within striking
distance Of the plate but Carol Brown
was the unsurmountable barrier He used
his spitball with deadly effect every time
he found himself in hole
Roger Peckinpaugh. captain Of the New
Workers. has not missed an inning since
the 1914 season opened, establishing up
to date, record for this year. It is
doubtful II any iBfielder in either Of the
big leagues can boast Of playing every
inning Of each game since the bell rang
last April.
Frank ChanceS club meets the Nation
ais for the last time this year today.
Grin announces that he will pitch Jim
Shaw, who has already beaten the
Gotham crowd four times out Of FIVE
starts. Ray Heating will probably op-
pose Shaw.
1t Is learned that the National Baseball
Commission in its meeting at Chicago
decided to show no quarter 20 the Fed
eral League. Organized baseball feels
that the outlaws have been beaten fairly
and that il II should recognize the Gil
more league in any way 1t would mean
that every few years a similar league
would bob UP seeking recognition. SAYS
a prominent National League ClUO owner:
We do not expect that the outlaw cir
cult will be able TO interest sufficient new
capital to begin the season OF 1915 in its
present makeup. At least half of the cit
les are crying quits now. The Federal
League could not have selected a more
unpropiutious year to promote a rival
enterprise And still. so far as our league
is concerned. We have been extremely
lucky that James E. Gaffney secured
George StaIlings to lead the Braves The
wonderful fight against odds Of this habi-
tuai tail-end team has been a life saver
for the parent organization. But for Bos-
toms magnificent showing IL is likely that
the race would have been a dead issue
weeks ago. With the teams so closely
punched the Tener circuit is enjoying
one of its most fruitful years
Germany Schaefer. Nationals comedian
and utility infielder. returned YESTERDAY
from Atlantic City. where he has been
staying the past ten DAYS. Schaefer
brought with him a Young outfielder
named Letters. whom he picked Up II
the famous resort.
Letters was otu in uniform YESTERDAY
and is a likely looking youncster. Fe
played baseball at Mt. ST. Mary's Col
lege. Md. where Joe Engel made his
reputation. and has been playing with
the Atlantic City team all season.
