“GIANTS APPEAR PAGE SIX SURE WINNERS OF NATIONALS Showing Last Week Makes Giants Strong Favorites For the Pennant | New York. Sent. The New York | Giants continued their winning streak through the week and by their vic- tories, notably the pair over Pitts- burgh, enjoy a four and a half game lead in the National league. Barring a complete form reversil the pennant appears to be finally in te grasp of the McUraw clan. In the American leasue New York, by its victory over CobL's Tigers yes-| terday, while Cleveland was losing to, Washington,nosed hack into the league | leadership by a two point margin. The Yankees have played two games less than Cleveland and must play ai- most perfect ball in their maining games to win the flag. ‘The four game series to be played in New York this week between New York and Cleve- land probably wil decide the race. Speakers’ team won ail seven of its rames during the week, excluding Sundays game, while New York won only four out of seven. The Indians form? an easy mark in the Athletic and New York suffered setbacks at the /5¢" hands of the White Sox, the Browns and the Red Sox Giants Week Perfect. In the national the Giants also had a perfect week. Brooklyn slumped and so did the Braves and the Pirates. The Red $ox won a majority of their games in the American and the Athietics lost every game played. The weeks games in both leagues were marked by heavy hiciing and scor- ing, Cleveland tallied sixty times on eighty hits, and the Yankees forty. five times on sixty-five hits. The Athletics batted well, but were handicapped by pory fielding and ineffective pitching. The Giant's made 45 runs on 85 hits and their pitchers were unusually effec- tive, being found for only 14 runs. N. Y. Teams Favored. Both New York teams are favored over their rivals, for teague honors in the matter of games to be played. In the American, Clevelands remain- ing contests are to be piayed on the road while the Yankees have the advan- tage of playing most of their games at home. To date the New York Amer- icans have won the majcirity ‘of their games against the Indians. The New York Nationals will play the final game of their series with Pittsburgh tomorrow nd then will move to. Chicago for two games with the Cubs. The Yankecs have three more games to play with Detroit be- fore taking on Cleveland in the most trying series of the s n. + | ON THE | OTHER HAND ~—— ——_—_——_—_— The schooner Mayflower is barred from the international race for fish- ing schooners between United States and Canada.

Bridweil sent the pill far into the outfield and McCormick eased over the plate. Merkle started for second, but seeing McCormick score, he stopped and arted for the club house, thinking the game over. Evers, seeing Fred had failed to touch second, gathered the ball in, called the umpire, and touched second with the ball. The ump called Merkle out, and crossed run. The s played off later and the Cubs won, copping the pennant. ‘'s later Merkle, still with ts, met Boston in a world Each had ‘won three games, one being a tie, The Giants were leading in the tenth innin; Speaker lifted a foul over the first sack. Merkle watched the ball float over his head, making no ef- fort to catch it. Myers nearly broke his neck to get it—but was tc» late. Speaker then singled, coring a runner and tying the score. later the Sox stepped in with the winning number. ee 8 “Red” Waber’s misplay in the 1917 White Sox-Giant series was a classic. There was a runner on first when “Red sneaked one for a single, and stretched it for a double, the man going to third. “Red’ stood there excited, watched the pitcher wind up.
