SPORTING NOTES.

The pennant races in both leagues were close in 1915. In the National, Brooklyn won, Philadelphia was sec ond, Boston third and the Giants fourth. Philadelphia was beaten by 1j points in the percentage and New York, though in fourth place, was sev- en games behind the leaders. Boston was nine percentage points behind Philadelphia. Boston won the Ameri- can League flag with only 13 per centage points advantage over the White Sox, while Detroit was a close third.
 In 1918, the American League race was close, Boston, Cleveland and Washington finishing close together. Last years American race was decided in the last days with Cleveland, Chi cago and New York punched.
 The greatest pennant race in the history of organized baseball was made in the National League in the season of 1908, when in the closing week of the campaign Chicago, New York, and Pittsburgh all were in an ace of taking the honor. New York and Chicago finished the season in a tie and in the playoff the Cubs won.
 McGraw is finishing his 10th year as manager of the New Yorks and in this year he has had as first assistant Jen- nings his old team mate on the old team of Orioles of Baltimore and Bur kett, as the second deputy. The indivi- dual records of this trio at bat and afield stands out among the greatest in the history of the game. The Newe York National Leagu baseball club came into being in 1883 with John B.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Wheat underwent decided tumble in value today after scoring upturns during the first half of the board of trade session. Hedging pressure from the northwest together with absence of export business had much to do with weakening the market Prices closed heavy at 3-4 to 3 3-4 net lower with December 1.15 If to 115 1-2 and May 1.19 3-4 to 1.2O. Corn lost 1-4 to 5-S and oats 3-S to 1-2. The finish in provisions was unchanged to 12 cents low CT.
 An opinion by a leading member of the board who has just returned from a four-months' trip to Europe that there was but little unsold wheat across the Atlantic and that there would be no world surplus of wheat this year was more or less responsible for the initial upward swing of the market,
 Bears in the corn market contended that the corn crop was benefited by last nights frost, as the crop had already matured. Oats were governed by the action of corn
