With Meusel making a triple, a dou- ble and a single, besides a sacrifice, in five times up, the Ginats nosed out the Cubs, § to 7, to register their seventh consecutive victory. During the engagement the Giants made five sacrifice hits and the Cubs four. Kel- ly, leading home-run hitter of the league, had two sacrifices. Hollocher hit for the circuit.

BRAVES DRAN THRONGS ‘Will Double Figures of Last Sea- son, Total Being Esti- mated at 360,000. BOSTON, August 30.—The Boston Nationals will double last year's at- tendance figures at Braves' fleld by the end of the season. The total will exceed 360,000 persons, club officials estimated today on the basis of rec- ords to date. The largest attendance at any game this year was 39,000, the crowd that turned out to see Pirates and Braves in one conflict. This was the only in- stance in which attendance was more than 30,000, but the figures on other games were high enough to make the average for each playing date better than 5,000 persons. A proposal to have a group of Braves players tour Cuba this fall has been abandoned, it is definitely announced. Instead, some of the players, under Capt. Billy Southworth, will play in and near West Virgini.

PTTSBURGH CONSISTENT Has Led ‘National League Every | Week End, Excepting Two, Since Season Began. Most of the fans realize that Pitts- ‘burgh has been in first place most of the year. Few of them realize that it has been in first place every week end since the beginning of the season, ex- cept April 23 and June 4. On both of those dates the Glants were in the van. It is easy to see what kind of a pen- nant race it has been for the re- mainder of the National League with two teams never out of the week end lead since’the players got back from eating ham and eggs in spring train- ing. It is a wonder that the National League chase has taken on as much interest as it has. Not once on the week end has Bos- ton, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louls or Philadelphia been able to step up and answer “here” when the call came for first-place roomers.. The Giants have been second almost all of the time. ' Philadelphia has been last in the National Leaghe ever since June 4. Boston has been third ever since June 11 on the week end call. ——— PIRATES RECALL TRAYNOR.

BY WALTER CAMP. Announcement that Eddie Mahan will join the Harvard coaching staff this fall may very well be taken as an indication that the Crimson pur- poses to develop the attack of her back fleld more extensively along the line of runs from kick formation. ‘There has never been a time when the Harvard team had anything like the power in this style of play that she showed when Mahan was in a Crimson jersey. In fact the menace of that method of attack alone with Mahan kicking, run- ning or passing, was enough to keep the defense of any opponent busy up to the limit. Announcement by Dr. Garfleld, president of Centre College, that “Bo’ McMillin, the famous quarterback of the Colonels, has determined to con- tinue his college work and will play this season makes pleasant news. Moran ‘and the Centre team, how- ever, learned last year that McMil- lin, Roberts and Weaver, although great players, were not the team in themselves and that to meet success- fully a first-class all-around developed eleven a powerful, enduring rush line must be built up. This year, there- fore, Moran and his Kentuckians— and we should add Texans—are plan- ning their campaign along develop- ment of a forward wall. They have secured Thornhill, an old assistant of Glenn Warner’s at Pittsburgh, to look after the line. A report says Moran will shift Me- Millin from quarter to the back field. Final acknowledgment of the San Francisco board of education that Rugby in this country is a thing of the past and that the high schools of that city will play the American game in future will provide an ex- cellent feeding ground for material for California and Stanford.

In 1920 Brooklyn won every series except that with Cincinnati, whi was lost, 12 games to 10. In 1% Cincinnati cleaned up on every oue That is unusual. It defeated Bos- ton 16 games to 5. Something like Pittsburgh and New York, only the other way round. In 1918 Chicago lost the series to Brooklyn, but won from all the oth- ers, including the Giants, of whom they made monkeys. In 19 Giants beat everybody except cinnati and tied with them. In 131 Brooklyn split even with Philadelphia, lost to Boston, 13 to 9. but defeated all other rivals. In 1915 Philadelphia failed to have a clean siate, losing 1o Brooklyn, 13 to 9, and to Pittsburgh. 12 to 10. When Boston made that lively spurt that succeeded for them in 1914 they failed to beat Brooklyng on the series, losing it by 13 to while they tied with New York 11 each. Giants Rout Ever L3 In 1913 the Giants had a bail team which defeated everything. They es- tablished a marked similarity of suc- cess by Whipping each team in the ational League by fourteen games i either seven or eight, except Cin nati. They put it over the Reds 17 to 6.
