pleted their final tour Of the East.
The Cardinals won eight out of
eleven and the Pirates eight out of
thirteen games. The Cubs busted
wide open. winning but five out of
fifteen games played. Their collapse
has lost them their fancy lead and
brought them back with the pack.
The Giants, playing at home, won
eight out of ten games, their two
defeats being administered by the
Pirates. Rain chopped out whole
series with the Cards. games which
will have to be transferred to st.
Louis within the coming two weeks.
Joe McCarty. q great believer
In psychology as applied to the
diamond, loudly denies that his
team has cracked, but he offers
no sensible explanation for
those ten defeats in the East
to offset the five victories.
The big league campaigns have
four more weeks to run. The East
ern clubs of the old league are
finishing in the West this year.
This means that the Giants will
have to carry their fight into the
enemy's stronghold to land the
pennant.
On their first swing through the
West the Giants, suffering from
mediocre pitching and catching,
won but six out Of sixteen games
played. McGraw. too, was having
trouble with his outfield, expert
menting with this and that player
in the hopes of hitting upon the
right combination.
BY the time the second hike
West came along the Giants were
clicking steadily and came through
with eight victories in twelve games
played. Reaching home they bet
tered that fine work and are today
very much in the chase for the
banner.
The Giants are. winning largely be-
cause of a smooth infield quartet
centered around Hornsby and Jack
son. Their pitchers are anything
but remarkable, though Grimes, Ben
ton, Fftzsmimons, Henry and Clark
son are turning in well-pitched
games with painful frequency.
The Giants are a hard-fighting
gang, who seldom. II ever, dis.
play the rattles, no matter how
rough the going may be. With
HOrnsby as chief driver on the
field and the Little Corporal"
John McGraw, to provide the
acid in the meetings, the Giants
are prepared to make the last
squirt that may bring them
across the line in first place.
OF the three Western clubs in the
running, the world champion st.
Louis Cardinals appear the. most
dangerous. The Cubs show too much
nervousness. The Pirates lack speed,
all the more noticeable with Kiki
Cuyler warming the bench. The
Cardinals are well-balanced club
and getting lots OF good pitching at
a time when good pitching assumes
greater and greater value daily.

BETTER ENGINES URGED
. FOR GERMAN AlRPLANES
Motors Not Big Enough for Trans
atlantic Flying, Manufac-
turers Told.
By the Associated Press.


BERLIN, July 23.-Airplane engines
constitute the chief problem confront
ing German aerial navigation today,
In the opinion of DR.. Walther Huth,
president of the German Airvehicle
Manufacturers Association. German
engines, he stated at the annual meet
ing of the association, are not big
enough for transatlantic flying While
airplane and airship construction is on
q high level in all other respects, he
observed, the question of more effec.
tive engines must be given special at
tention. DR.. Huth agrees with Clarence
D. Chamberlin, who emphasized that
transoceanic flights are simply a ques-
ton of bigger and better engines"
Director Otto J. Merkel of the Luf-
thansa, another speaker at the annual
meeting, agreed with Dr. Huth as far
as motors are concerned. but insisted
that numerous instruments for night
and fog flights must be added to the
equipment Of air pilots before flying
will be perfectly safe.
