come down from the Businesses beyond
Mount Horrid that incessant snow or
rain had made the roads impossible for
automobiles and very bad for horses, the

the suggestion Of C.. c. Stillman that he
give the cavalry a real mountain CLIMB.
1t would take a civil engineers profile

Nine miles out they crossed the long trail
which is said to mark the crest Of the
Green Moul tain range from end to end.
The ascent was gradual at first, but the
last mile or more Of snOW-covered slip

slate roofs of Branden's marble houses
And Just beyond the trail it pitched
downward beside a roaring, tumbilng
mountain trout stream until 1t reached
the valley again.
Climb to Bread Loaf Inn.
There Rochester welcomed the pass
ing of the horse with huge flags across
the course, and then beyond Hancock
came another and longer harder climb to
Bread Loaf Inn, 2,100 feet above sea lev.

hardpan clay into which the horses sank
ankle deep at every step and which caus-

France, which has the best chance

Mnrchison ran fourth in the 100

Giants Have Fight.

Al FTER getting away to fine
~ start and threatening to
run off with the pennant by
July 4, McGraw's New York
Giants are facing q tough fight
to remain in first place till then.
just when it seemed all over but
the shouting, the Giants ran into
injuries and their pitchers fell
off in efficiency while at the same
time the Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl clubs hit their stride. The
result is that today the Giants
are by no means a sure thing
for the flag triumph. Some fans
believe that Pittsburgh will win,
if only because Fred Clarke is
back with the Buccaneers.
Brooklyn would have hackers,
Iif Robinson possessed better
pitching. The Robins play good
ball in streaks and their streaks
follow each other closely. But
when it comes right down to it,
the Robins pitching staff is un-
able to stand the strain day in
and day out, which explains the
streaks.
1t would be a great thing for
the National League were the
Pirates to win the pennant. Not
since Fred Clarke handled the
team has Pittsburgh finished on
top. A world series without New
York figuring in it would add
new life to the game as played in
the big leagues.
The Yankees are practically GER
tain to be absent next fall. Now
let the proud and naughty Giants
lose out and fandom everywhere
will have signs of relief at escap-
ing the New York blanket.

Bucky Harris hoNestly believes
that his world champions will be
in front on July 4. Well, that's
reasonable. Five games must be
played between the Griffs and
the AS. Thus far the Mackmen
have won but four out Of nine
from the champions.
Following the coming five
games with the AS, the cham
pions viii have five with the weak

muses. the leader Of the world
champions, well give them all
q gallop for the pennant."
Many fans look to see Wash
ington leading the race by from
six to eight games on Septem-
Der 1.
Meanwhile, whether Washington
fans like it or lump it, the Mack
men are clinging to first place
like dying man to a straw.
Rarely do they have good pitch
ing, yet they walk away with
victory after victory through
sheer weight of their clouting.
The average fan with any
knowledge of baseball believes
that, with the long summer at
hand, the Mackmen will begin to
drop off at bat. Pitchers usually
have the mastery of the batsmen
from midseason on. It has al
ways been that way in the past
and there is no particular reason
for a change now, unless the
present lively ball becomes live
lier, a seeming inpossibility.
IL 1t comes to a showdown be-
tween the Griffs and the AS, the
steadier pitching Of the cham
pions should give them the re-
CURED margin over the chal-
lengers from Philadelhpia. Never
theless, the AS are real rough
these days, providing plenty of
thrills for the followers of the
national game.
