staIlings' Men Have Won Thirty,
FIVE Out Of Forty-two Games
Played in Last Six Weeks.

Beginning July 16, the Boston Braves
Of the National League have played in
forty-two games including that Of yes
terday, OF these forty-two games, thir
ty-fve were victories while in seven
they were on the short end Of the score.
In the same length Of time, the Gi.
ants played forty-four games winning
nineteen and losing twenty-five.
What was expected to be a walkover
for the three times champions Of the
National league this year has turned
out TO be the biggest upset In the his.
tory Of the game. Here we have n club
that two years ago was n rank tail
ender. Last year il finished well NJ
in the second division, the highest q
Boston National league team had oe.
cupied In years, and today we have il
reckoned as the most dangerous club,
in the National league race.
There are now about forty-five more
games to play. With the Braves get
ting the pitching they have the past
month, they appear certain to win at
least three-fourths Of the remaining
games. That is liberal estimate but
grant them two-third Of the remaining
games II appears that such clip will
easily land them on top at the end.
MeGraw right now seems TO be up
against one of his worst predicaments
since he entered the big league as a
manager. He has terrific fight from
now to the wire to land pennant with
a team that is slipping and with pitch
ing staff that contains but one reliable
pitcher.
Mathewson is the only pitcher upon
the Giant staff that McGraw appears
able to depend upon. Marquard and
Tesreau are erratic, pitching a good
game this time and weird one the
next. Demaree is bad, having the worst
year of his career, and appears dis.
eouraged McGraw will have to get
that staff in shape in a hurry or he
will find himself passed not only by
the Braves but by the Cardinals, as
the latter must be considered contend.
ers as well as the Braves.
What makes the Braves seem better
is best bet in the National league at
present, the fact that they kept UP
their winning streak with one Of their
two bright stars, Johnnie Evers, out of
the game. The Trojan, who as captain
of Boston had done so much 20 bring
them toward the top, has been playing
one of the greatest games Of his bril-
liant career. He and Maranville form
as slick a pair around the second sack
as ever graced the diamond and this
does not bar that wonderful Athletic
pair, Barry and Collins. =,
Evers lost his little daughter sudden.
ly and the death of his child almost
put him out Of the game for the sea-
son, He was away from the club for
a week, while Whitfield was sent to his
place and with little Maranville' simply
outdoing himself around the shortfield,
the club kept up its winning ways. IL
proved that the team does not have TO
depend upon any one man.

VETERAN STAGES RARE
FEATs IN ATHLETICS

An unusual athletic feat was recent

when Walter BricKett, well known
professional swimming coach, ran, walk

and succeeded in finishing in Ia min

The walk was first undertaken, and
Brickett covered measured mile in 10

made in minutes 80 seconds. Only SO
seconds elapsed and he had mounted his

he succeeded in rowing enc mile in

considerable opposition. He came Off
his high horse and appeared before the
senate banking and currency commit

qualifications for the position. This
was no more than right. The President
nominated +. A. Delano, railroad pres.

that Thomas, d. Jones, Of Chicago, was
not confirmed and that his name was

that the federal reserve board should
be non.partisan, although IL is supposed
to be removed entirely from politics.
Some Democrats in the senate believed
President Wilson erred in naming only
Democrats originally to those positions.
