BRAVES GAIN ON. NEW YORK
 IN PAST WEEK.

\ Though the Giants pretty nearly knocked all the pennant aspirations out of the Cubs last week, they barely managed to do better than break even on the week, winpig four games ana losing three. They easily held their own against the Cubs and the St Louis Cardinals, but the Braves cut away several more games ofe the pig Ieao which the Giants enjoyed over them. s Against the Western clubs on this stand the Braves so far have won ten out of twelve games, while the Giants have won six out of thirteen The Giants vii have<a hard time getting an even break, as the Cardinals have been the hardest team in the league for the Champs to beat St. Louis is the only team which can boast of superiority over the Giants. The Cards have it on McGraws s men, eight games to five.
 the league leadership on this trtpp but it has been going nearly as sbadliy as the Cubs. Before coming to New York St. Louis won only four games out of twelve, dividing the series of. four games each in Philadelphia and Brook 1yn. and losing four straight to the Braves.
 The team has some exceedingly fine pitching talent in SalIees Perritt, Doak Griner and Perdue.
 Returning to the National League pennant hunt; 1t looks as though the Cubs are out of 1t for good. The Windy City aggregation is a peculiar one. In spite of the fact that 1t was only three games behind the Giants when its ser- .ies with the Giants started. the team seemed to have no pep or pennant ae- pira,tions.
 Though a big pot awaits the cham piont in the Worlds Series, the Cubs i seem entirely indifferent whether they win or not.

He was not hit as hard as the score in dfcafes for several of New Haven's s safeties were scratches. It is said that a big league scout was in the stand watching Walsh.

COUNTED;NON|E|.ION
HAND NCARIHY

Following the account in the Star
Bulletin of Saturday on the report OF
the territorial grand jury, reasons
were given this morning why the
committee of officials had not count
ed quarterly the funds in the hands
of the city and county treasurer.
The grand jury, in taking this matter
up, stated that though the law re-
quired the auditor, city and county at
torney and mayor to make count OF
the money in the treasury every four
months, no such count had been made
for year.
Il am told" stated Charles ]. Nc.
Carthy, city and county treasurer, To-
day, that the reason this count was
not made was because I did not have
any money in my hands to count at
the times designated.
When l first took office last jan
uary, the committee called and count
ed the money. But since then they
have not been here. l kept thinking
that they would come, and from time
to time thought l would suggest it
to them. Though no particular harm
has been done, as far as l know, as
the statute requiring the quarterly
count is on the books it should be
made"
