McGraw should fail to drive his Giant entourage into the first division this,season, 1915 would mark his first New York slump below the Great Divide in thirteen campaigns. ‘While McGraw took charge of the Giants late ih 1902, his first starting year with the Giants was 1903, when he carried them into second place. Ir the twelve campaigns up to 1915 he has finished first on five occasions; second on five occasions; third once, and fourth once. . In these twelve yearg he has won over 60 per cent. of his _games through nine seasons, with with ‘a grand average around .650. ‘With this record back of him to up- hold, small wonder that John J. is battling hard for his place in the Lun of the First Division and is plan- day uqd night to break the heavy sp 1 which beset the Giants a year ago las? July and has continued ever since, Among McGraw’s. many 'ambitions, one is to keep his first division record clean—to finish his career without ever piloting his Giants among the Trailing’ Four. And wnile many are picking ‘the Giants to still finish/ gecond or third, even a first division finish i8 no easy assignment in view 07 things as they are. MoGraw's ' Job. To finish among the first four, Me- Graw must beat out at least twon of these clubs—Chicago,' Boston, Phila- delphia, St. Louis and Pittsburg. He expects to beat out the last three clubs named. But there must be ‘a de- cided change before any one of these three outposts fall. After winning three pennants and holding the lead into July, the Giants first hit upon waning days something like a “yvear ago. From July through early Octo- ber, a matter of three months’ play, they failed to win half their games. &truggle as they would they were not able to draw an even break. ¢ From April up to the close of June thi have still-been unable -to. win £ty per cent of their starts. So here stands a total stretch of nearly six months, embracing 140 contests, where the Giants have béen unable to If ‘they are to maintain a .500 elip. finish fourth or better they must ex- liibit a different brand or play from that shown in their last 140 contests. The Case of Mack. Connig Mack hasn't as spectacular a showing as McGraw to Dprotect. Connie has dropped bacx into the gzecond set on ' two occasions. He finished fifth in 1904 and sixth in 1908. And where McGraw has a chance to finish as high as second or third this season, Connie hasn’'t g’ chande to finish better than fifth—angd ic isn’t Jikely that he w:l wind wp this high.

Sigler is not only a fine pitcher, a fine hitter and a first class outfielder, but he is even faster than Cobb, and is al- ready a high class Ybase runner. Those who have seen the young Wol- verine play say he has the possibility of developing into one of the best that ever wore spiked shoes and flourished the ash, < Sisler is the ball player. who was sent in as a hinch-hitter in a game acainst Penn. There were two on at ihe time in the closing Tound, and the count was 2 to 0 against Michigan. 'The Penn slabman decided not to take a chance, and so attempted to walk the Western star. On what wonld have been the fourth ball Sisler jumped across the plate and cracked une over the fence—but was called j vut for leaving the batter’s box. 4 Times Out of 5, Anyway. 3 “Does Ty Cobb keep his eye on the ball in batting?"’ queries F. L. J. We don’t know, but he keeps his bat on it, which is almost a3 essential. Looking at-the ball is as important in baseball or in tennis as it is in £o0lf.. One of the main requisites for | 8ood batting is to keep an eyve fixed { upon the ball from the moment it leaves the pitcher’s hande. One slight shift of the eye and the swing is use- less. Cobb's eve follows .the pitch every inch of the way. Every Bit. br!ckley and Tacks Hardwick leave college as a sedate old gentleman would be to see two lions walk out of his room and disappear around the corner. Systems ‘are great things, but if Brickley and Hardwick had gone to Yale instead of Harvard we wonder, not if the Crimson margin would have teen as distinct, but if there would been any Crimson margin at all. For athletes may come and athietes may gc, as the bard often says, but there is || very seldom more than one Brickley Yale will be as sorry to see Charley | or one Hardwick in a half dozen,, Gecades. that, ou TWIRLER RUTH SOME HITTER Red Sox Twirler Hits One of Slim Caldwell’s Offerings for Circuit Boston; June 26,—Babe Ruth and Slim Caldwell, generally known to the baseball fans as the greatest of home run pitchers, were responsibie for the easy victory chalked up by the Red Sox against the Yankees herc vesterday. The Boston pitcher con- tributed to the home team'’s triumph by hard hitting and fair pitching, while Caldwell's portfon was poor pitching. As was the case in the se- cond game at Philadelphia Monday, Slim could not locate the plate or else he located it and ¢ould not get the bail past the Red Sox bats. The score was 9 to 5.

Y., June 26—All the coaches of the crews of Cornell, Columbia, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, and Stenford-stated last night that their hard work was finished and that tomorrow’s practice will be very light With the exception of Stanford none of the crews will go out for practice Sunday. The 'Varsity crews, however, 'wil] early in the evening row their shells to the Columbia boathouse, the rendezyous of the crews for the four-mile race. £ o Early this evening all the crews were on the water, the Cornell, Syra- cuse, and Pennsylvania crews beinrg taken over the course to give their coxswains a line on their respective courses. Both the Syracuse and Penn- sylvania’ Varsity crews rowed a hard four miles, but had thelr evening drill up the river, no hard ‘work being done by Columbia, while the Stanford eight was put through a series of starts and spurts. Tomorrow afternoon there will be a little regatta in front of the Cor- nell quarters when two events will be pulled off. There will be a pair- oar race between the substitutes of Cornell, Stanford, and Pennsylvan and a four-oar race between subsi tutes of Syracuse and Columbis.

WORLD’S GHAMPS BOW TO GIANTS Timely Hitting and Pemtt‘s Pitch- ing Beat Stallings’ Crew New York, June 26.-—Two Boston pitchers were sent to the rear in a hurry by the Giants yesterday, but not before they had been canned for five runs. The Braves didn’t score at all and the Giants won, 5 to 0.
