simultaneously that he was not putting
his whole ability into tho game. That

splendid work of the past seven days.

BILE right-hander has brought his win
ring mark up to 25 games two uf
which were won in the past week.
Those IS winning shots fired into the
ranks of the allied enemy give Alexan-

the Philadelphia club if he would win

More STRONGLY than ANYTHING else do
the figures for the week indicate the
setting. Last Monday morning the
locals were in sixth place and were
exactly nine games behind the Cubs
the club which at that time stood in
fourth notch To-day the Pills are in
ffth place, but what is more important
= --s..etr-~tllfs- Is that they have cut down
their distance from the first division to
four and 4 half games. that is. they
team in two in the course of a week.
The Cardinals, who have been replaced
in third position by the cubs. are not
only just four and "A half games ahead
of the Phillies. but. Judging bv the
clubs here on SATURDAY. they are apt
to have their lead cut down TO two and
n half games before dcpartinp
