international atmosphere was given
the meet by the presence of a relay
team from Canada.

There's a study in the stra1egy of the

ayers. McGraw sailed in against his
strongest rival with his two best win
ners. Nehf and Toney. Gibson's two best
winners had been used up before the ar
rival of New York to play the Pirates.
and he had to try second string men. :
He has his two best winners left for
the latter half Of the series. but the
Giants. by drawing evef on the four
games with two victories, have far the
better Of the situation.
Now, if the two best winners of Pitts
burgh are defeated the moral effect of
the situation will send the Giants scoot-
ing triumphantly through the west, while
the Pittsburghs will be forced to an up
hill battle.
A great fight is promised between
these clubs for the next two weeks, and
it is not improbable that on the outcome
of that fight will hinge the eventual win
ming of the National League champion
ship.
After leaving Pittsburgh the Giants
will face the other western teams. and.
after New York, the Pirates must play
the other eastern teams. Each Of them
has been strong against east and west
almost in like ratio. and the slightest
Welding by either will mean danger.
