that club is going to make a better
showing in the post-season series than
is generally anticipated by the follow =
ers of amateur base ball and the play
ers of the mines which will oppose 1T.
General Office has a well balanced
pitching staff and an in and out field of
more than ordinary capabilities, if the
opinion and confidence of the player
referred to count for anything. and
maybe Agriculture, Marines and Ma
chinists had better be on the lookout
for more opposition from this quarter
than they now expect.

the Aggies in Section 3 in the coming
series, 1t is going to make more than
an ordinary showing, l think" is the
opinion expressed. 1.-The team is fairly

some fairly good pitching throughout
the season and is not such a dead team
as some people seem to think. We have

or course, week is apt to make
wonderful change in the standing in
the old league, for a game or two either
way makes a big difference But there
is no way to figure which team ought
to win. There is a difference of opin-
ion about the relative strength of the
various contenders. Some believe the
Phillies are better fortified than any
of the others, but this will have to be
proved.
Hughey Jennings admits the Boston
Red Sox are the strongest team in
this league, but he will not concede
that it will win the pennant.
Jennings figures the Red Sox have
an advantage in pitchers. but that his
team is the stronger with the bat.
Give me one of Carrigan'S pitchers
and / will win the flag without much
trouble. My team cannot only hit and
field, but it has backbone and in this
respect has something on most of it's
rivals" is the way Jennings sizes up
little or no chance for me to get an
other pitcher, but that is all that stands
between the Tigers and the flag"
1t seems that it would have been a
good proposition to realize this fact
last season and put in the winter try
ing to get a pitcher. Then the Detroit
problem might now be solved.
Just why the umpires allow the
players on the benches to indulge in
ridiculous yelling and noise making is
not clear. There is a rule which gives
the umpires the right to punish play
ers who conduct themselves lmprop-
erly, and it is high time this rule is
enforced. 1t is annoying to the occu-
pants of grandstand seats to listen to
lot of boisterous yells which have
no purpose other than an effort to
rattle the opposing pitcher

GIANTS RESIST KAUFF'S SUIT.
Serve Papers on Fed Outfelder
DENYING They Owe Him S5nl1

NEW YORK, August 10.-Papers were
! served on Benny Kauff, Tip Top outffeid-
| er and so-called Ty Cobb of the Fed
eral League. yesterday by Messrs. Ana
bel, Nichols. Lindsay & Fuller, attor-
| neys for the New York National League
base ball club, answering Kauff's COM
plant in a suit against the Giants to
collect $4,000, which Benny alleges was
the sum of bonus the club agreed to
pay him for signing a contract last
June.
The attorneys for the Giants set up
several defenses. In general they deny
the charges OF kauff. They insinuate
that Kauff misrepresented facts when
he assured them he was not under con-
tract to another club, also that he was
unable to go through with the con-
tract because he previously had con-
tracted his services to the Brooklyn.
Federal Leagu club, which threatened
to prevent him from playing with Me
Graw by getting out an injunction. The
Giant lawyers further declare that the
memorandum agreeing to pay kauff
the bonus for signing was not signed
by officer of the local National
League club.
Kauff declared yesterday that he was
prepared to push his suit before the
highest court of the land. He declares
that McGraw, Hampstead, Foster and
Lawyer Fuller. officials and counsel for
the Giants, were all on hand when he
signed the Giant contract and that they
guided him in the matter with the as
surance that they would stand behind
him. This. kauff says, President
Hampstead did not do when il came TO
Il showdown.
Messrs Hampstead, McCiraw and Fos-
ter are all with the Giants in the west.
Counsel for the club refused to discuss
the case.

TIGERS WIN IN 18TH
Bunch Double, Single and
Triple in "UnIucky" Round.
LOCALS NEGLECT CHANCES
Obtain an Early Lead, But Lack Of
Judgment Causes Score to Be
Tied in Sixth.
LOCALS NEGLECT CHANCES
BY J. ED GRILLO.

In struggle which lasted thirteen
innings, and which the Nationals should
have won in the regulation nine, the
the score of 5 to 8.
The real cause of the failure of the
Nationals to win was their inability to
get hits at the right time. They had
thirteen men left on the bases, and
though they were credited with twelve
hits, four more than their rivals, they
did not get any of these after the sec
ond inning when they produced any
runs.
Dauss was not puzzle by any means.
He was hit consistently all during the
game, but luck favored him in the
pinches, and he was not scored on,
though frequently threatened in the
last eleven rounds.
For five innings the Nationals were
leading with three-run lead. In the
sixth the Tigers tied it up, thanks to
some poor judgment by Gandil.
Cobb started this inning with his only
hit, triple to left center. Crawford
hit down the first base line. but Cobb
by pretending to be loafing, drew a
throw from Gandil to the plate, which
he, of course, beat, and Crawford, too
was, safe. After Neach had flied out
Burns singled, and then Young walked
filling the bases. Boehling famed Stan

through Mack's legs, and before il
could be recovered the score was tied
From that on ii was a struggle. in

uary IS, 1900. She was the onl,
girl in the home and was loved anc
favored by her parents and tw,

Eula was a very modest, swee
natured little girl. She always wore
a smile and had a kind word fo,
everybody she met.
When the Morley Chapel Sunday
school was organized, February 10,
1914, Eula was elected treasurer
and was faithful to the Office and to
the Sunday school until March 8
1915, when God kissed her life away
and took her spirit up to his blessed
abode. Her body sleeps in the
Morley Chapel cemetery, until the
resurrection morning.
Our dear Heavenly Father has
called two very precious little class
mates from our Sunday school
since It's organization-Eula and
Hettle Morley. They were class
mates and special friends here on
earth. They have joined each other
IN the city of God, where they mas
