Giants and Braves Are Carded

ON these dates the Boston Braves

great fight for the National league
penpart In spite Of hh many re.
verses. II Mc0raw can hold the Braves
even IN the nsxt ten days he can put
up his last ditch tight In his own
home Polo grounds,
BY winning fron Brooklyn yester-
day while the Giants were losing TO
the Phtllies, the Boston club placed
1tse1f 3 Ia games ahead Of the
Giants. II the Giants can hold them
to that lead until Sept. so they still
have 4 chance Of overtaking them by
making baseball history at New York
on the dates mentioned. A clean
sweep of that series would again rob
the Braves OF the lead and give the
Giants another lease OF pennant life.
We are pulling along with the rest
OF them for the Braves to win the pen
nant. but we are also pulling for O
little slump In the Braves going
right now so as to give New York q
chance to keep up In the race and
make this series one or the notable
events Of the baseball year. f5

distance OF the Braves when they en-
teftain them at the Polo grounds the

While talking pennants Il might be
casually that the Tigers
have their last mathematical chance

before the country. IL took years 70
lure Fielder Jones out from behind his
lumber piles and back to q ball feld
after he left the White Sox, but he
was finally lured. Until Chance Is
again signed up. prepare for reports
OF fabulous offers from all quarters.
Chance is quoted today as saying
he will never manage another ball
club. At the same time another re-
port declares the p l. has big offer
under consideration and that there Is
q movement on foot toahave Chance
return To the Cubs. President Gil
more, of the Feds, Is yet to be heard
from, but will doubtless run true to
form and publicly open the pot soon
with an OFFER that will indicate he
must hold about four aces.
According to Chance, he is through
with the game unless he gets some
thing really big-as big as the prest-
dency OF a major league club"
Chance drew his last months pay
from the Yanks yesterday. and Is to-
day q member Of the army Of unem-
ployed. Within few days he will
start for his California orange groves.
The Giants are back home today,
where they will remain until the close
Of the season. Their movement upon
Philadelphia resulted In their being
pushed down another game behind the
Braves They are starting to make
their last stand, with the Reds as
their first opponents. The pitching
stan is shot to pieces and the entire
team appears to be rocking. Whsn
they have pitching they fail to hit, or
else muss up the field with errors,
and when they find their batting eye
blows up. With Fromme going stead
lily yesterday, George Burns. who has
been one OF the most reliable men OF
the year, muffed an easy fly and paved
the way for the Phillies' victory.
The Braves were outhit, Is swats
to seven. by the Dodgers. but came
through with the long end of the
score. Stallings' men concentrated
their fire In the second and third inn

not overcome the lead.

All His Riches Fail to
Make Jerry a Happy Dog

that with his dropping ear on the left
side he resembled his English father. and
on the right side he looked like his Bos-
ton mother, which was OF the bat-eared
variety.
Jerrys favorite pastime is smoking
pipe when he goes for his daily saunter
in the avenue, but he does not wish to
be confused with the ordinary canine who
elects to earn his living by advertising a
certain brand of tobacco in this way.
Jerry believes that imitation is sincerest
lattery and he says that he was the first
10 conceive the idea.
Jerry is a member of the Lambs. and

FOR HE'S A DOGGIE
WITHOUT A PEDIGREE
And That's the Reason Why They
Won't Let Him Be Present at
Westminster Show.

Up on 49th street, in the studio Of Otto
Hauerbach, is a sad little dog named
Jerry.
Now, Jerry has everything in the world
to make him happy. and one would sup
pose that he was happy; but when he
was interviewed in his sanctum sane
forum, as all celebrities are, he revealed
the skeleton which ratified in his closet.
II is simply this: He cannot take part
in the Westminster show, in February,
just because his mother happened 70
come from Boston and his father from
England. This to the lay mind, does not
seem so terrible, but in dogdom 1t is the
bar sinister
James Mortimer insists that all dogs
who compete at his show must have
parents and not alone that, but those
parents must be of the same breed.
Therefore, 1t behooves each little dog to
choose his parents judiciously II he would
shine at the Westminster show Jerry
has learned that, no matter how clever
one may be. II he is ''flfty-hfty" he for
feits forever his hope OF show ring
career.
Jerry Is now four years old. and for
the last three years he has been taking
course I'm higher English. which makes
il possible for him to understand every
thing that is said TO him. lie has been
the pupil OF John Harvey. who has had
such wonderful success in training the
young CANNES in the way they should go.
Jerry played the stellar role I'm Some
where Else" and is now appearing at
tho Casino in High links" He owns
his own motor car. and he has a fur coat
end bank account. which is more than
can be said Of all members of Jerrys
profession.
Although Jerry says that II is neces-
sary 10 accept remuneration for his ser
vices, 10 keep the pot a-boiling. he is
welded To his art. and. like all great
artists prefers TO act in benefits.
Jerrys histrionic career came near
being nipped in the bud recently. as did
indeed his earthly career Jerrys bette
noir is a mongrel. and when one of them
barked al him recently from the fancied
security OF grocery wagon Jerry leaped
from the seat Of his motor car a poten-
tial murderer. The hound dog" would
probably have been q dead dog only that
Jerry sprained his leg when he landed
and instead OF assisting at his enemy
demise he was carried into the hotel and
put I'm the hands Of a veterinarian. While
he was still disabled another dog If
doubtful parentage attacked him and
chewed up his left ear so badly that 1t is
not yet standing erect. Jerry explained
