The late Mr. Shakespeare once tore off an established offering knewn as “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” This might be entitled a “Midsummer Pipe Dream," as one musr recessarily soak the Old Pipe in grappling with this _baseball lore, whatever the stage. Back in April the cne club picked far and wide was the Boston Braves. They were held to be the class of the circuit, with only ~New York and possibly’ Chicago left to give Stallings a battle. But pounding along within a few jumps of the half-mile post this dope has been utterly wrecked— wrecked worse than any dope we have seen wrecked for some time—and we have seen our share. New Entries. So far there have been at least six | surprises in this.N, L. race. 1. Sur- prising strength shown by the Phillles, 2. Power and consistency shown by the Cubs. 3. Pittsburg's .revival.

But any club that can patter along in the rumning for half the distance must at least be consider- ed in the propHecy of the times. In place of breaking, Cubs, Phillies Pi- 1ates and Cards have shown enough form to be classed as pennant possi- bilities—with machines greatly im. proved instead of weakened power, ,The Brave Outlook. With Evers back In harness and with James, Rudolph and Tyler at top form we still figure Boston has the best club in the older circuit. But there are other things to' con- sider. It is by no means certain that James, Tyler and Rudolph will regain the unbeatable form which marked their pitching last summer. And, as important ag this, it must be remem- hered that while last spmmer nearly every entry curled up and quit before ‘the furious drive of the Braves, this summer there will be bitter fighting to the end. | Both Cubs and Phillies have shown conclusively that they are in| this pennant jamboree to stick. The Cards are sure to keep hustling and the Pirates will stick to .the finish. 8¢ in fighting their way back the ' Braves haye 'a different line of trenches to take than those of 1914. They have an organized defense to batter down now and only great base- ball will ever carry them back: 1914 and 1915, Last summer the Braves overhauled a lead of sixteen games and packed on ten more for . full measure. They made a net gain on the rest of the league of more than twenty-six games from July to October. But to accom- plish this Rudolph, James and '!‘ylor— even against a reeling circuit—had to give the best pltchlnx witnessed n a decade. The sole chance Stallings has to lead his people back is to get the same fine pitching—and even then he will (be in for a harder battle than he had last year. The long absence of Evers #nd the epidemic of poor pitching it will be doubly interesting to see whether or not he can put through another drive against an even harder combination. The Three Leaders, ‘While both St. Louis and Pittsburg ‘have their flag chances, we figure that by Séptember the National leagie race will be a three-cornered affair among the Cubs, Braves anad Phillies. Judged upon the showing of the first three months and the prospects that | wait ahead, the race may be divided , LIGHT Grantland Rice into groups: First Choice—Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia—in the order ramed. Second Cholce—St. Louis, New York, Pittsburg—in the order named, although New York and Pitts- burg should be rated fairly even at the end. The Cubs, under ' Bresnahan, are sure to hustle to the' finish, and if the Duke of Cook County——once Duke of St. Louis—can keep the Great 2Zim has a fine show of landing first place, | There is nothting sensational about ; the Cubs, but they have shown the | most consistent stuff in the race, and consistency is counting for more than ever this season, Alexander and Cravath were the two stars around whom Philly dreams were built. They have done th!il‘l share—and more. But beyond ' these the brilliancy and steadiness of Ban- croft at short, and the heavy batting of Louderus have been vital factors. The consistency of these last three hag Been so well maintained that Pat Moran can feel secure in banking upon them into the stretcn. Which means that Philadelphia must be figured with Cubs and Braves—and upon even terms. The Second 'l‘hree, St. Louls and Pittsbuhg have aec- complished more than any one figured them for two months ago. Both are steady working machines, but we Goubt that either has thel power to teke first place and hold 1t against all | opposition. Their chances arg not as good as the chances of the first three named. d As for the Giants—they are beyond even a guess. An epidemic of poor pitching broke their spell last summer. An epidemic of worse pitching has held them back so far. They have been hitting the ball and scoring their. share of runs—as the records show. Their fielding has been spotty—but not disastrous. But when even Tesreau siipped the pitching staff, went to seed. | The one thing that can save McGraw is for Mathewson ‘to swing back into his turn, Tesreau and Marquard to light. upon their old clip;. and either Perritt or Stroud to work in depend- able roles. Unless McGraw can get four first class pitchers gomg he hasn’t a chance—for his machine isn't great enough to win with ordinary, much less the under-ordinary sort. Considerable Race. 'In any event, the lopsided aspect of affairs in the National is no longer cvident. It has been the exception be- fore when over one or two clubs had letics chances: to win Philadelphia ...
