Captain Jerry" Dineen and his

 when they took the Nonpareils into camp in three straight games, break
 ing the tie with existed between the
 teams for first place, and placing the
 GladiatOrs at the top of the race. The games were hotly contested with plenty of enthusiasm emanating from the players and followers. Vance was the hero of the afternoons sport, equalling the leagues record for three strings. The Gladiators also tied with the Nonpareils for the high sim gle of 355, so taking it as a whole 1t was profitable afternoon for the victors.

HEROISM OF CAMERA MEN.
News Photographers Making Remark.
 able Pictorial Record of War.
(New York Times.)


 (New York Times.)
 The news photographers who have been compelled to submit to so much abuse and just condemnation for their audacity in snapping portraits of per- sons who, either through modesty or from some special and immediate de- sire to avoid notoriety, do not care to have their likenesses printed, have been proving themselves of late pub lie servants who we'll deserve com- mendation. Perhaps it is unneces- sary to speak of the invaluable work of the news photographers in the European war, as everybody knows by this time that they are making such a pictorial record of its events as was never made of a previous war. Their courage in braving danger is as remarkable as their skill in gaining footholds from which to observe the actions of troops on land and the movements of battleships at sea.
 Courage, to, and that of no mean order. is required of the camera men who have been employed in taking pictures among the Bayonne rioters. The value of such pictures, apart from their interest as graphic illustrations of the news of the day, is also incor- testable. The snapshots are so clear that no striker portrayed in a group of, rioters would be able to prove an alibi if he were charged with com nIicity in manslaughter.

The (Asyoumightsay) Banner Season

After talking with seven National league club owners, the only move we can see ahead for President Tener is the purchase of seven banners, pen nants, gonfalons or flags, as the case may be.
 All seven assured us earnestly the National league race was as good as over. There was not even the sem hlance of a debate left. If superior batting, pitching, base running, field Ing and team play mean anything, these seven clubs have the gaudy srapple tied up in a bag.
 Even a Six Day Race is a wonder ful and miraculous sporting event compared to a Big League meeting.
