The veteran Goliath of the National,
however. continues to show signs of
aging legs which may fail in the final
encounter with the youthful Pirate
challenger or the sturdy Robin, who
suddenly abandoned his role as spar
ring partner and knocked the cham
pion out of the ring in three-game
series last week.
The Giants were the only main bout
team to falter in the Labor day dou-
BILE headers. Washington took two
from the Athletics, but the Yankees
kept within a game and a half of the
lead by trimming the Red Sox, to 0
and IL to 2.
For the first time in months the
National League race became closer
than the American, as Pittsburgh ad-
vanced to within one game and
Brooklyn surged to within three con-
tests of the Giants in first place.
McGraw's boys lost a decision in the

raped smartly to Judge. Joe made
a great stop and throw to Peck, who
made lightning return.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Chances
of Governor Alfred E. Smith to cap

ever, his managers claim.
Smith is said to have beer in
formed by such leaders as Tom Tag
CART, George Brennan and Ed Moore
that if in the early ballot ne shows
sufficient strength 10 warrant the be-
lief that he can win, they will get
behind him. Until today Brennan
was the only one of these three lead
ers to openly support Smith.
Taggart and Moore have not yet
come into the open, but the Gov
ernor has received assurance of their
support, hackers Of the New York
Governor say.
Today an assault on the McAdoo
delegations that are known to be
only half-hearted in their support
was under way. This campaign was
being directed at the Southern dele
cations mainly.
one way in which the New York
ers hope TO put their favOrite son
across is TO stampede the convention
to him. They are hoping that Bryan
will make an attack on him, and
that the convention win permit

personality from the speakers plat
form will do more effective work
than all the campaigning that has
