GIANTS RATE HIGHER THIS
 YEAR THAN IN 1917

Each day adds to the conviction that the present Giant team is one of the greatest aggregation of ball players on one team. It is a team of individual stars who are playing to gether in much the same manner as the old Chicago Cub team played in the days when Frank Chance was pilotinS the Windy City representa- | tives, and it combines much the same sort of offensive strength that made the Athletics of years gone by the greatest scoring machine in either l league
 When the season opened predictions were made that the aged infield of | the Giants would be unable to stand 1 the strain that they would not play up to their form of other years and ! that they would be totally lacking in | speed. The season is still young and | these predictions may come true, but 1 right now the New York infield is
 showing up stronger than any in the
 National League, and in fact, it is playing just about as well as the
 intield, Tinker, Evers and Chance l combination of the Cubs or the Baker. ! Barry, Collins and McInnis inner de- fence of the Atheltics played in their best days.
 | Fletcher at sort is playing a re-
 markable game Hardly a day goes i by but he makes three or four stops | that seem almost impossible. And he | follows each stop with an accurate
 throw to first. Whether the ball is hit
 near second base of third base seems
 to make little difference, and he sel
 dom fails to reach it, unless it is hit
 on line.
 Doyle is not an Evers or a Collins
 at second, but nevertheless the Giant
 second baseman is playing fine ball
 and is playing the opposing batters i with fine judgment. Chase is not
 only fielding well as he ever did but
 he is diagnosing each play and quickly
 and it is seldom that he makes a wrong move From the moment he takes his place at first base at the be-
 ginning of the game until the last man is out he watches every play and not infrequently he gives advice to the younger members of the team At the most critical moments he can be de- pended upon to make the most bril-
 liant play.
 If there is one weakness in the New
 York infield it is at third base. Zim.
 merman ranks high up as d nIIter pu
 is not capable of making fine stops ol
 thinking as quickly as either Chase
 or Fletcher. At times he is ovei
 anxious and at others he seems slow
 Because of this many hits get ava!
 from him.
 The present Giant outfeld is mucl stronger than the outfelds of eithe the Cubs or the Athletics in their pen
 nant winning days. All three of Me
 Graws outer gardners can field
 throw and hit. Kauff seems to hay,
 gotten over his habit of misjujdgin, , fly balls and is now one of the great est outfielders in the game for goin; , back toward the fence for drives. l In the matter of pitching the tean is faring much better than was ex ? pected at the beginning of the season

SHORE LINE DEFEATS THE
 POQUETANUCk MEMS CLUB

The Shore Line defeated the Mems club of Poquetanuck in hard 12 in- ming game on Tuesday. The Shore Line' boys had the game all their own way for the first few innings. but as the field in which they played was not in very good condition everybody had to work hard. Manager Brown, successor to Flynn has worked hard to put a good team on the field which he thinks he is developing in first class shape. The game ended in the 12th inning with the score 13 to 12. Center Fielder Kena- nan caught the last ball that won the game with the help of Third Baseman Falveys hit in the 11th. breaking up the tie score. The s. L. boys will play the N F. A. next week. The lineup for Tuesdays game was as follows: Bowen c. Purple D. Simcox 1b, Shaw 2b, Fall vey 3b. Barber ss. Derosier If, kiernan of, Miller If.

from the state of decomposition In
