the leading teams won. The Giants
beat the Superbas and the Braves
whipped the Phillies. but it took them
twelve innings to do it. The fight
put up by Boston shows that George
Stallings's team Is a gamester. a
! thing the fans have been in doubt
about right along. The Giants. we
know. are game, for they have been
| through the mill before, and now that
Boston has displayed class as well as
form. we may look for a grand and
bitter struggle to the end.
@
Manager McGraw took a chance
with Marty O'Toole in the game yes
terday and Marty made good. He
was hit pretty hard at times, but he
had lots of speed and fine control.
He pitched what is known as a good
game" His work was not brilliant,
but it was plainly evident that he
isn't the cripple he was credited with
being. O'Toole, from all appearances,
is going to make a good man for the
Giants. He is in with a lot of fight
ers and he has the worlds series
staring him in the face. O'Tooie, uu-
der McGraw, may become the OToole
of great expectations. He went into
the National League under big
handicap. He was the hero of $22,-
500 sale, and the day before he Joined
the Pirates he pitched his arm sore
for his home town team. He has
never quite recovered, it is said, and
for a time it was believed that he
was through. However, the O'Toole |
who pitched the Giants to victory |
yesterday is good enough for any old |
team.

The betting on the outcome of the |
race has now settled down between |
the Giants and the Braves. The |
Giants are the favorites, but the |
Braves have a large following. AS
to popularity, there is only one team
in it-Boston. George Stallings stands
well in Newark and fans galore are
waiting for him to win. The odds,
however, are on McGraw and his men
and the betting is 6 to that the
Giants will beat the Braves. 1t is
long ways to the finish, and both
Chicago and st. Louis have a chance.
The way these teams are playing,
of it.
With the worlds championship at
stake. every ounce of speed and cum
ming will be brought into play at the
Velodrome tomorrow afternoon, when
Frank L. Kramer, the American
champion: Alfred T. Goullet, the
Australian flier, and Cesar Moretti,
the italian, clash in the Worlds
Sprint Cycle Derby at one mile dis
lance. Kramer is always anxious to !
win, of course, but he Is particularly |
anxious for victory on this occasion.
It will mean that the American cham |
pion will be known as the worlds |
championships scheduled for Copen-
hagen this year were declared off be-
cause of the war. So the winner real
ly will be the worlds champion, and
if there is one race Kramer would
rather win than another it is a cham
pionship race. Besides with the VIC
tory goes $500. and big Steve" likes
the jingle of gold as well as the next |
one With so much incentive, Kramer |
is sure to make a great try. He looks |
to be the best man in the race, and
it is only natural that he should be
selected to win. If beaten he will be
sore boy, for he will not get the
championship and he will not get the
$500. It would be the hardest blow
dealt out to Kramer in his cycling
career, yet there is one little man in
the race who has one big chance to
do 1t.
@
Goullet is the real contender in this
big race tomorrow. He has been rid
ing we'll for q long time, but it is
doubtful if he has ever displayed
more all-around good form than he
did Wednesday night when he beat
Walter Rutt and Bob Spears in one
of the semi final heats. 1t was re-
marked then on all sides that Goullet
would have beaten Kramer just as
he had beaten Rutt If the Yankee
champion was in the race. That, of
course, is only a matter of opinion,
and is easier said than done 1t is
true that Goullet rode a wonderful
race against Rutt, but somehow or
other it will generally be noticed Kra-
mer doesn't permit his opponents to
ride such wonderful races against
him. When Kramer is in the fray 1t
Is Kramer who is the wonder, so 1t
is presumed that Goullet, as good as
he was Wednesday night, would not
have shown quite so well if Kramer
had been opposed to him.
o
It is a noted fact that Goullet has
always been 81 pretty hard man for
Kramer to defeat. ALT has beaten the
champion in match race, and he has
beaten him in big stake races. Goul-
let seems to be one of the few riders
who can outguess Kramer at times.
