Lafayette and Joe Straus enabled the

an exhibition of the finer points Of the

After tossing away numerous chances
to make the game close, Lafayette
started n rally in the ninth that might
have caused the game to result differ
emily, but for the 'steenth time the
base inner confined their efforts to
foot instead Of headwork. Seaman was
sent in to run for Chilson in this final
frame, but he upset the Boston menu
by trying to score from second base on
a short base hit that Straus fielded per
fectly. Hence, the three successive hits
made by Lafayette in the ultimate
round did nothing more than fatten
their swatting figures. The score was

Above Third

THE Yanks have a rugged battle
L ahead to finish above third place.
It is hard to figure how they are going
to stop such a well rounded array as
Cleveland, and unless the inield prob.
lem is settled they may have trouble
in heading off Detroit and Chicago.
The Yankees are a hard club to dope.
as they never play to where you figure
they ought to play.
A club with the pitching and the
punch they carry would be far more
dangerous IL It was only an alert. ag-
g~ressive machine and one not quite so
brittle.
That pitching STAFF alone is capable of
holding an ordinary ball club well up
in the race. But no pitching staff can
hold up a club that is constantly getting
cripplcd-that lacks the hardihood to go
the long route.

Giant Chances

THE Reds last season proved to be
l nine m better than the Giants
orcr the full route.
The Reds this season are as strong
as they were last year. The Giants
are undoubtedly. stronger. This con-
dition should make for one Of the most
DESPERATE two-cl1b duels ever known
in the National League.
Why are the Giants stronger than
they were a year ago?
No. Last year Toney arrived late
in moor condition. He worried in only
twenty four games. Nehf worked in
twenty three games for Boston and in
only thirteen for New York. Douglas
worked in twenty o for Chicago and
in only eight for New York.
This season McGraw will have
Barnes, Nehf, Toney, Benton and
Douglass ready from the kickoff.
He will have n great staff to open
this season, where last year he had
a poor one. ..,.
No. Zimmerman and Chase were
both too far beyond their prime. Frisch
and Kelley add youth and speed to the
in6eld. With Doyle and Fletcher they
make a far stronger quartet.

THE Giants have an even chance

a pitching staff of equal merit. Roush
in center outclasses Kauff, but Burns
and Young outclass Duncan and Neale.
Both sets Of backstoppers are good with

One Of these two clubs will win. and
