.231, lower than ever before in his career.
Wagner is going much better than
Lajoie. He is hitting at PSI gait. and
recently has been hitting so consistently
that it will be only question of Tins
when he will have reached the coveted
mark in the averages. Nor Is Lajoie
hopelessly out of the contest If he were
given chance to play regularly 1t would
not take him long to bring his average
up to its usual standard.
Neither the Athletics nor Giants. which
are leading the procession in their re-
spective leagues III the pennant races,
are as far ahead now as they were a
year ago. The sleddnig has been much
harder in the present campaign and there
Is no reason for believing that it will
be easier as the race progresses. There
are no easy teams in the American
League this season, and that also is
probably true of the old organization.
The leaders of both have received set
backs in this campaign from teams which
were not figured to stand much of a
chance, and it Is this fact which is keep
ing the pennant race SO close.
There seems to be no end to Eddie
Plank's pitching days. Though the vet
eran has reached the forty mark he has
won ten games this season and lost but
two In fact his work to date Is better
career with the Athletics. Plank is a
foxy pitcher. He knows every batsman' S
weakness, and he has enough stuff and
control to battle them. He is not being
used often this season, getting anywhere
from five to six days rest between
games. He cannot stand the strain of
being worked out Of turn, and, realizing
this, Mack is handling him with care. so
that he will have at least one great
pitcher during the nag race.

Not to Let Quarders Go Until He
Has Chance to Develop.

CHATTANOOGA. July 2O.-Manager
Harry Mccormick will not release
Quarders. the young southpaw secured
from the White Sox. This has been
decided definitely. Quarders may not
be used by Mccormick for some time,
even in relief role. but he, neverthe-
less, will continue to draw his reg
ular monthly stipend from the local
strong box.
In short, Quarders, although he has
been hit heavily upon practically every
occasion that he has faced the oppo
sition, shows too much promise to be
cut loose without being developed to
the fullest extent The youngster has
exhibited world of stuff. and it is
felt that when he learns to use it

May Be Amicably Arranged.

In the meantime the matter is very

Heretofore Mack has drawn all tine
stars Dunn developed from the Balti-
more club. Eddie Murphy. Jimmy
Walsh and Bob Shawkey were obtained
in this way.
Del Gainor, who a few weeks ago was
sold by Detroit TO Boston. did not last
long as Red SoX. Waivers have been
a asl<ed on the former Tiger, and the
chances are that he will drop back
into the minors. Gainor is not n poor
ball player by any means. but his
rrouble is that he is susceptible to in
juries. He is out of the game too much
with one hurt or another. and a club
cannot depend on him. He played only
a few games with the Sox. when he
found that one of the muscles of his
leg was injured. and he got out of the
lineup. When Boston purchased
Hoblitzell from Cincinnati. Gainor. OF
course. was not needed.
The fact that there has been de-
cision favoring the Federal League in
lhe Johnson case does not mean that
the major leagues will be robbed of
any of their stars. The johnson case
was one which involved the ten-day
release clause. That clause, however.

President Gilmores admission that
the Federal League has lost $4,000 to
date must be taken with grain of
salt Reliable information is to the
effect that there are only two or three
clubs in the outlaw circuit which have
broken even or better to date. The St.
Louis club alone is not less than $780,

City. Pittsburgh and Brooklyn are near
