The old Cleveland club that carried

many cases where ultimate defeat af-

Clarke has unusual luck. H. lacks
bench strength He hasn't anybcdv to

from home for long stands. The two
western teams that have always been
! rated as weak on paper-Cineinnati
and st. Louis-have the most formid.
able look just now. The Cardinals
have always been a tough proposition
for the Giants, and especially for me.
The team is playing better ball at the
present time than have seen it show
in several seasons. The players are
fighting for everything and bawling
out the umpires worse than any club in
the league. Also, the Cardinals appear
to have prefited by the big trade with
Pittsburg, although everybody seemed
to think that Higgins was crazy when
he agreed to swap. Jack Miller is
showing a lot at first base and is hit
ting the ball hard. Robinson has
pitched a lot of good baseball for Hug
gins, while Harmon, who went to the
Pirates. has not been of any benefit
to Clarke so far.
Machine Work Wins Games.
Both Higgins and Herzog have de-
monstrated something in the west this
year that McGraw has been proving
in the east for some time-namely,
that it is the machine and not the in
dividuals that wins ball games. II
you ask the average trained baseball
man where the present Giants would
finish without MeGraw in charge, he
would reply, in the second division. /
do not altogether agree with this.

we lost that extra game to the Cubs
in 1908 which cost us the champion

The result of this decision was that
the Giants have been fortified against

years as no other club ever was, and

LONDON. June 26.-English. oars
men are seriously concerned over the
foreign invasion" Of Henley. The
coming of crews from America, Can
ada and Germany to row for the Grand
Challenge Cup in the first week 81
July has set them to figuring as to
what they can depend upon to defend
English prowess, which in this event
has only four times lowered its flag to
the foreigner. al .< IL. 5.,.' =, 81
| The first foreign victory was in 1906
when the Belgians won the cup. They
repeated the victory in 1907 and again
in 1909, while an Australian crew took
the cup in 1912. However, this year
the oarsmen are watching the Ameri-
cans more closely, remembering how
near the Vesper Boat Club Of Phila-
delphia came to winning in 1906.
with all this competition, England
this year finds herself sadly lacking in
| first-class material. The Leander Club
which In previous years could be de-
pended upon, to put strong crew on
the river, has not been. @peaeising SO
many rowing recruits lately. Former
ly it was the usual thing for, rowing
men from all the universities and col
leges to join Leander, on graduating
and to keep up their rowing for some
years afterwards. Now more men
from the universities go into business
and have not the time to devote to
training, or else they go abroad.
Only recently the Leander Club lost

position has fallen to A. F.. r. Wig

University Boating Club. He will have
the assistance of R. L. Bourne, who
stroked Oxford, and will stroke Le-
ander; Scrutton, an Eaton captain;
c. s. Clark, a Cambridge blue, and
Horsfall, another university oarsman
Where the others are to come from has
not yet been disclosed.
What Oxford and Cambridge will do
in the way of crews cannot yet be
stated as their summer races come
very late this year and until they are
