REMNANTS FAR
FROM C|NCHED


New York, Aug. 29.--The schedules
IL the major leagues call for six weeks
more of battling for the pennants be-
fore the seasons end. Many things
can happen in baseball in six weeks.
Teams that look like winners now may
fan by the wayside. while other out
Hts that appear now to nave only an
outside chance for the muslin, may
step out in front
In the National league the Giants,
the Braves, the Cardinals and the
cubs are furnishing the pyrotechnical
element OF a hot championship race.
The Giants still have the largest fol-
lowing of champ pickers, probably be-
cause the McGrawites have won three
pennants in row. But il doesn't fol-
low that a team successful i'm three
peunant battles can get away with the
the fourth. Several major league
teams have COPIED the pennant three
years in succession, but a timer
is unknown in either the National or
American league.
Braves Making Fight.
The Bostons OF 1S72-3-4-5 were four
time winners, but this was prior To the
formation OF the National league. Also
outside the pale of the two big organi-
cations OF the present day was the feat
OF Charley Comiskey's st. Louis
Browns in winning the pennant OF the
old American association for four sue
cessive years, beginning with 1885.
Until the Braves started their sem
sational climb n few weeks ago the
chances of the Giants to annex four
in "a row looked fine. Now the fast
work OF the Braves has put an awful
crimp in the ambition OF the Giants,
and i'm order to win out the New York
ers will have to work harder than they
have ever had to work in any OF their
former championship battles. 1t is not
only the Braves who are out to trim
the Giants. The Cardinals also are
close b. and going strong. These
same Cards are not to be overlooked.
In the series between the Cardinals
and Giants this season the Cards have
shown equal strength with the Nc
Graws in every department OF the
game.

HE WAS FIRED AS A REWARD
New Haven Head Explains Grand
Trunk Line Deal and Ends
His Remarkable
Testimony

| Washington, May 23.-Because
he realized that If the man really
to blanche late J. p. Morgan
was held responsible for New Haven
conditions and indicted it would
have meant his death, Mr.. Mellen
concealed the truth and accepted
his own indictment. In repayment
for his self-sacrifice he was ''prac-
tically fired" from his position as
head of the New Haven by the SON
of the man he saved.
In a remarkable statement em-
bodying this contention Mr.. Melle1
completed his testimony before the
interstate commerce commission. In
giving the innermost details of the
deal between the Grand Trunk rail-
way system Of Canada and the New
Haven, Mellen completed his inn
munity bath. The indictment on
record against him, accusing him
of violating the Sherman antitrust
law in New York City, is now be-
lieved to be null and voir. Having
given his evidence to the commits
sion, Mellen cannot be now proceed
ed against under this indictment.
Mr.. Folk had carried the witness
through three hours Of talk, the
materiality of which, as evidence,
was open to doubt. Then he took
up the deal with the Grand Trunk.
Mellen explained that this was Nor
gan's doing, not his. However, Mel
len said he desired to shoulder the
blame, realizing the condition of
Morgan's health.
II knew positively that If he
was indicted it would kill him."
Mellen explained. There was moth
ing would not have done to have
aided Mr.. Morgan"
Mellen said that Morgan's son
knew of the deal. u
"when he came and told me that ;
he believed it would be for the best J
Tor me to leave the New Haven Ii
system told him that I did not +
,hink this proper reward for what '
