MAJOR LEAGUE BALL.
American League

= .,
Everyone has their eyes focused
on the Athletics in the American
League now, who have dropped elgh-
teen games straight and look as II
they had no way to break their los
ing streak and keep from losing two
more games, which would equal the
modern record of the Boston Red Sox,
who, a number of years ago, lost
twenty straight. Poor Connie Mack
has tried every sort of method to
break the streak but it seems I'M
possible.
Chicago White Sox widened the
gulf between themselves and the
Beaneaters yesterday by defeating
the latter, and St. Louis registered
a win over the Nationals, thereby
forcing the latter back into seventh
pace, from which these two clubs
have been alternating back and forth
daily.
Yanks, by winning over Cleve-
land, have tied the Indians for third
place.

There's a stir in the veins of the
sportsman
When the blue-blooded thor
oughbreds start,
With the pounding of feet keep
ing time to the beat
Of the pulse and the quicken,
ing heart.
But it's tame to the thrill that is
present,
And its glamor seems lifeless and
pale,
When the dog teams are out on
- the heart-breaking route
In the race on the white Candle
trail.
Hear them yelp to the wolves
their half brothers,
AS they turn back at Candle
for home;
Oh, the old camp looks bright,
there will be a wild night
When the dog teams have fin
ished at Nome
They are caught in the thick Of
blizzard, =.
And the drivers are going il
blind;
And the fierce leaders snap at a
tight CALLING strap
And are nipped by their fellows
behind.
They are going it blind through
a snowdrift,
And it's death to them all il
they fail,
For there's none who will wal
when they're nearing the
straight,
In the race on the white Candle
trail.
Hear them howl to the wolf pacl
in chorus
AS they scent their warm ken
nels at home,
And they snarl and they fight
there will be wild night
When the dog teams have fin
ished at Nome.
There is nothing that looks like
grandstand,
There is silence in place of thu
cheers;
And the driver sits tight thorugf
the long Arctic night,
With his eyes partly glazed as
he steers.
Now the leaders are breaking the
silence,
From the camp comes an echo
ing hail,
And the long race is run and tht
best dogs have won
On the course of the white Can,
die trail.
Now they dream OF the wolves
their half brothers,
And the distant pine forests
they roam;
While the camp streets are bright
there is sure wild night
For the dog teams have finish
