Chips and Slips
GIANTS VS.. PIRATES.

If the Pirates fail to keep ahead of
New York right down to the finish they
will have only themselves to blame.
And if the Giants win the National
League rag they will have themselves
to thank and no one else. The Giants
have earned a high spot in the race
just on their playing against the lead
ing Pirates.
In the 10 games between these clubs
this year the Giants have captured Ii
and the Pirates five
They have played II at New York,
of which the Giants have won eight.
They have played eight at Pittsburg
with the Giants winning siy.
The showing made by the Pirates
against their chief rival is indeed a
sorry one No club really deserves to
win a pennant that doesn't subdue all
| opposing teams. Occasionally team
| slips into pennant by beating few
teams thoroughly and not trimming its
| strongest contendeTs. ..-
! But the average championship team
beats the strong as well as the weak
The Pirates have failed to do this
! They have depended upon Brooklyn

Giants for them.
