just a happening. However, the fac
remains that the Cubs walloped tbs
Braves, and the Giants are again II
the lead. 1t was a walloping, too
to sand Dick Rudolph. Boston's best
was in the box when the thing hap
pened. 1t was a hot game and
scrappy game, and the Cubs, you
know, are still very much in the race
They are fighting every team that
comes along, and Boston is sure to be
the aim OF a special attack. By
knocking down the Braves the Cubs
are practically counting two for one
They are fourth and right there, and
they can win the pennant without
performing any miracles.
O.
The interest now. however. IS III
what the Giants and the Braves are
doing. They are the contenders and
it is looked for one of them to even
tpailv win out More confidence is
reposed in the Giants because they
have the most experience. The
Braves, though, are the favorites with
the fans. who are pulling strong for
George Stallings and his crew

CT T,o,iis and Dots Miller figure
prominently in the big four cornered

IN CAPTURE the old flag. 1t is coinci-
dent and interesting that the four
leading clubs in the race are clashing
in the present series. New York is
out in st. Louis. where rain yester-
day interfered with play, but just to
show that the Cardinals are not
afraid they have arranged for dou-
ble-header today. St Louis, on her
home grounds and with her team 60
ing well, seems TO have the better OF
the bargain, but about the best either
side can hope for is an even break.
1t is the hardest thing in the world
to win two games in one day, and
this is especially so when two such
strong teams as the Giants and the
Cardinals are the contenders. But
out of this series at st. Louis may
come a new light. 1t may mean the
life Of the Giants and it may mean
their positive doom.

The conditions exist and the same
things apply to the series at Chicago,
where Boston is making a short stay.
The Braves were bumped yesterday.
and they used two of their best
pitchers. Tyler and Rudolph. Maybe
stallings will put Tyler in again to-
day. or he may call upon James to
come to the rescue. With only three
first-class twirlers, the Braves seem
to be up against 1t, unless Hess can
be switched in now and then and pull
a game out of the fire.
o
Providence, with the leading team
in the International League, Is draw
ing big crowds to the ball games and
even attendance records are being
broken. This is rather remarkable in
more ways than one. In the first
place, Providence hasn't been much
of ball town for years. Jack Dunn
won the pennant for the natives, and
the club didn't make any money to
speak of. In late years, with los
ing team, conditions have been very
bad, yet this year, the worst year
in years in baseball, Providence is
doing a big business. On Saturday
the banner crowd of the season
turned out to see the Grays and the
Rochester Hustlers play a double
header. According to the Providence
Journal all records for attendance
were broken, and the same newspa-
per goes into ecstacy over the turn
out. That is good news. But Provi-
dence is alone in its good fortune.
Every other club in the league is
losing money, and more than one of

The Boston papers have tackled a
championship on to Jimmy Moran
and the old warhorse is a happy fell

type this announcement is made:

America, James f. Moran, Of Chel-

That is some title and no one can
take it away from Moran. Since that
