ports from Brooklyn, where the Pi-

1t was the sheer superiority of the
Giants that put Philadelphia and
Brooklyn SO far down on the ladder
that nothing short of dynamite and
= six-ton crane can lift them. 1t is,
therefore, to be looked for that
Brooklyn and Philadelphia Will do
somewhat better on this first inva-
sion Of the east by the western Ma
rional League clubs.
Accidents may happen. of course. to
rhe Giants and the Cardinals; en-
Cinnati and Pittsburgh may develop

appear to be regular first division

All Running Close to Form.
1t is noteworthy that with the Ma

the clubs are all running pretty close

cago is in the thick of the fight for
4 position in the first division The
Cubs unquestionably have done very

lenge, as challenge they will unless
the Reds get at loggerheads among
themselves, it is difficult to see how
the Cubs can remain in the first dl-
vision without croWdlnS st. Louis
out.
And as one thought generally
brings on another, mention of st.
Louis, should remind the fans that
the Cardinals are getting so much
better service from the youngsters
than was expected and are receiving
so much help from their pitchers that
first division place must be accord
ed them. This is certainly true until
that time when the Cards throw one
of those conniption fits which have
Z, strangled their chances in other
years. Witness last year as an in
stance, when the Cards had Il chance
to win the championship such as
never befell the old burg before.
With Sisler out of the American
League race Ty Cobb and his grin

them as to which shall be the batting

: Heilmann doesn't. pose, as a proph-

before the season began he took a

swish or two through the air. and
