Moran, Quaker Manager, Has
Plans All Set to Grab Flag
Away From Robins.
SERIES WITH BROOKLYN
WILL DECIDE N
NJ q. LEE.

Philadelphia Is again hanging on the
heels of the desperate Dodgers. and the
crazy quilt National League race still
Is far from being over. The Phillies
have II all figured out how they Will
win. and they are banking heavily on
the last Giant series In Brooklyn. A
week & the writer explained that .his
was a threatening Brooklyn peril and
that II behooved the Dodgers to be out
Of the woods by the tlme that series
opens.
brooklyn plays four more games with
the Cubs. and then the big philadelphia
series begins. The Phillies expect
Vaughn to beat the Brooklyns again be-
fore tho Cub series In over. and hope
that the Bruins will break even on the
Elk games. They are figuring on taking
five straight from the Rcdland tail.
enders.
By tho time tho Phillles get ready to
invade Brooklyn they hope to have the
Dodger lead cut down to about half a
game. and. having made a clean sweep
OF their five game series with the Dod-
gers when they last met. Moran's chaps
are confident they can win at least two
out Of three In the series to come. IL
necessary Alexander will pitch In both
tho FIRST and third OF tho Flatbush
games.
Look for Lead In Week.
The Philiics hope to he leading before
they abandon Brooklyn a week from to-
day. The ouakcrs return home and
hn.sh the season with six games with
the Braves. while the Giants tackle the
Superbas for four game in Brooklyn.
Moran asserts that the Giants should
defeat tho Dodgers four straight, the
same as was apportioned the Phillies on
the Polo Grounds. At any rate. he says.
the Ph!ll!es will de moro TO the Braves
than the Superbas will be able to do TO
the Giants.
Pat Moran was a fine foreeaster when
he last visited Harlem. lie said. ANY
team that will e the Giants from now
on Is lucky" Evidently no fortunate
team has been around here lately. as the
Giants have not lost n game since Pat
rick made that remark. Pat can't fore
cast yet whether or not the Brooklyns
are flirting with Dame Fortune.
The Philly plans make no hit with
the Dodgers. They do not expcc; to lose
any more m to the Cubs, though
they realize fully that Tinker IS plot
ting night INC day to hack down the
F1atbush lead. Neither do the Brook
'!ns I~.ie.e the rh,ii:es viii win five
straight from the Reds. Just now the
Mattys look like the best team in the
West. and as Alex will be saved for
Brooklyn the Reds should win at least
one game from the smaller fry OF Mo-
rams pitching STAFF.
Until the Phillies rcvoited and beat
Brooklyn fve straight In Philadelphia
early in the month the dodgers had
quite a margin on the present Eationa,
League champions. They beat them con-
sistently last ear and also early this
year. The Dodgers believe they wtrc
In n slump In Philadelphia and that they
will show their former superiority over
the Phillies as o as they get them
In their own park.

Ignoring the difficulty of getting
provisions and the fact that his
troops were fully a days march
ahead of their supporting column
under Col. Sibley. Maj Langhorne
seemed intent only on overtaking
the bandits and rescuing Jesse
Deemer and Monroe Payne. the
Americans held prisoners by the
bandits. As he marched forward
there advanced i'm his direction at

gon. ostensibly for the purpose Of
assisting in the bandit hunt.
Accordingly il was Maj Lang
horne's cavalry that held the cen

continued his investigation of fires
at Fort Bliss. This investigation is
apt to result in a military hearing
for some officer. Gen. Funston has
ordered a thorough inquiry. If the
fire was Of incendiary origin-which
seems supported by the fact that it
broke out in half a dozen places al
