WARM WEATHER IS AN AID
By JOE VILLA.

1
NEW YORK, May 31.-Two vic.
tories over the PhliIIes at the Pole
Grounds yesterday sent the Giants
on their first Western trip last night
leading the National League race
The margin was not great. but Nc
Graw's men boarded the train for St
Louis feeling confident that they
would remain at the head OF the pro-
cession for some time to come.
The Giants may experience opposi-
ton OF a troublesome nature from
the Cardinals and the Chicago clubs,
but the New York. players are in
better trim than when they met those
rivals here recently. The warm
weather, II sustained, is sure to put
McGraw's pitching star in prime
condition for the long grind on West
ern diamonds.
The Giants must have high-class
pitchers to help the batsmen and
1elders, and as soon as Tesreau, Per-
rift, and Benton get into their proper
stride, which will be in the near flu
ture, the team probably will breeze
along smoothly.
GIants OuteIasa PhIIIIes.
In yesterdays battles the Giants
simply outclassed the Phillies, who,
as a result, were pulled from the
leadership.
The morning triumph was q rather
tight Mt, but in the afternoon 10000
fans saw McGraw's big hitters sub
ject the great Alexander to rough
treatment. Eight binEles and all Of
the Giants five runs were gathered
of Alexander during the first six
frames.
Four of the New York runs were
earned, too, Alexander suffering his
second defeat of the season at the
hands of the Giants. who, by the way,
knocked him out OF the box hve times
last year.
Wins sixth Straight.
Ferdinand Schupp, McGraw's left
handed wonder. scored his sixth vic
tory Of the present campaign.
To date he has pitched in seven
games, one Of them being a fourteen
inning draw. Schupp's record is all
the more remarkable for the reason
that he has been defeated but once
since September Z, 1915, when the
Robins trimmed the Giants to at
EDDeIB fletQ on OCloDcI =.
Schupp held the Phillies to five safe
hits yesterday. one of which was a
homer by Gabby cravath. who lifted
the pill into the upper tier of the
right field grandstAnd In the seventh
inning, thereby saving the Moran
team from wearing coat Of white
wash.
Has Fine Record.
Only one club, the Cubs, can show
as many as three runs OF Schupp
since he started the Giants on the
winning streak OF twenty-six straight
on September {.
Beginning with that date, the rec
ords show that the Giants wonderful
has pitched fourteen games,
winning twelve, losing one, and draw
ing one. His opponents have scored
fifteen runs, of which ten have been
earned.
They also have made sixty hits in
12s innings in which Schupp has fam
ned seventy-two men and has walked
twenty-seven.
Inasmuch as McGraw is permitting
to rest at least four days be-
tween games, IL will not be surprising
II Ferdinand leads all of the major
league pitchers in percentage of
games won this season.

RED SOX THREATEN

This viii Put Crimp in Inter-

FANS ARE SUPPORTING LOSER

Unless somebody stops them, and
that right soon, the Red Sox are go
ing to run away with the American
League race by July 4. This will put
sad crimp in the fans interest in
other cities, and will have consid-
cradle weight in determining whether
or not the American League makes
start in 1918.
Today only two teams are in the
race, Boston and Chicago. The Red
Sox are due to play a long string
of games at home, and they are
known a. q good home team They
seldom lose a series at Fenway Park,
no matter who their opponent hap
pens to be.
Chicago has been carried along
largely by an excellent staff OF pitch
ers. However, IL past history counts
for anything. these pitchers are due
to crack and crumble when real hot
weather appears, and the Sox will
then quietly drop back with the rest
of the snails. This will leave only the
Red sox in the hunt.
The Cleveland Indians are going
along pretty well. and may make
squirt that will put them in the class
Of competitors, but few wise base
ball men look for Lee Fohrs bunch
to hang on when the going becomes
rough.
II II Is true that Warrington does
not support a winning team, and It
begins to look as IL didn't. IL can
never be said that q loser wasn't sup
ported here. The Memorial Day
crowd goes to prove the argument
that Washington prefers q loser to
q winner.
A fair throng turned out for the
morning game, but in the afternoon
II looked like old times. The fans
leaked into the upper tier, while the
bulk Of them occupied the lower
stand behind FIRST base.
The right field pavilion was packed
and the left field pavilion held q good
sized mob OF bugs.
The Jury box, thinIy occupied in the
had a big bunch Of brunette
beauties in the afternoon, and they
rooted all through the game, too.

The most forceful argument in
favor OF continuing sports despite the
war, came yesterday, when huge
throngs everywhere witnessed base
ball games and horse races. The
/ Giants drew to the Polo Grounds 1000
fans in the morning and $4,000 in the
afternoon. The Mackmen played TO
1000 in the morning and $4,000 In the
afternoon. Belmont Parks race meet
attracted 10000 lovers of the horses.
Eighty golf clubs furnished close to
5000 active participants, with some
5000 spectators. A track meet in
Brooklyn drew 10000 spectators. 1t
is estimated that in New York alone
200. 900 persons witnessed some kind
of sport yesterday. You may figure It
out for yourself what the country's
total was.
Ferdie schupp, the overnight south
paw sensation OF the New York
this season. and his victory over Alex
ander yesterday swung McGraw's
team into first place. Schupp has yet
to drop a contest. and he is but a
couple of games behind Babe Ruth's
1917 mark for consecutive wins. The
joke OF It all is that Schupp warmed
the Giants bench for three years. with
hardly a single trial. Only last sea-
son was II found necessary to use him.
He flashed to the fore a: once during
that memorable winning streak of the
Giants. It's no more bench duSy for
Ferdie now. He's the star of the Ma
tional League.
