It is beginning to look that way just now, with the Brooklyn National league club up With the leaders and fighting desperately to reach the sum- mit of the league. Just now the Dod- gers are hiking through the “wild and woolly” in search of scalps, and if! they can continue playing at anywhere near. the Speed wwwsttamed on their dast home stands'they will bring home many trophies of their hunt., Just a | little over a ith zgo the Dodgers’ were In the cellar and looked to be hopelessiy out bf the race. However, when they reficéd their own stamp- ing ground they took a big brace and climbed from their lowly berth to within a few games of the top. In making this remarkable climb they | won twenty two games out of twent:; nine, losing six and tying one. Their remarkable spurt has put unbounded confidence in the players, and they are in the same frame of mind as| were the Braves last year when they made the sensational sprint for the gonfalon. ' If the Robins can_keep from ‘cracking under the strain” or if they can ‘“‘crack” as did the Braves, then as sure as October rolls around there will be another name added to the membership list of the Miracle Workers club, of which George Stall | ings"is now the sole occupant, and he will be a certain' rotuna gentleman Wwho answers to the name. Wilbert. Here are several of tne stars whose work was responsible in a large meas- ure for the Dodgers’ wonderful spurt.

Saier is a grand ball player, but when it comes to crowning the old. pill Wahoo Sam 1s far in ad- vance. I have seéen him line out many o drive here in Chicago which the White Sox right fielder has gathered in ‘against the wall which, if said drive had headed the same way. in Cub park, would have put a dent in the cignboard and counted for four bags. My humble opinion 1s that if the Tigers ‘played seventy-seven ‘games a year on the West Side mn Chicago a new record for home ruas would be established. How about 1t? CUB FAN. Cobb’s Opinion. Colonel T. Raymond Cobb agrees with “‘Cub Fan.” ' “If Sam Crawford,” rays Ty, “was batting m National league park—such short parks as those at Boston, Philadelphia = and Chicago—he would smash ail: home run records and set-a new mark for extra bases mever dreamea of. There isn’t a short park ' in the American league, while the National, I know, has at least four. This is” where Cravath and Saler have a big advan- tage over Sam' or any viner Ameri- can league slugger when it comes to extra bases. It Crawford played seventy-seven home gamecs at Phila- delphia or Boston 1n the National league his mark would be over .420 sure.” Crawford and King. Crawford is undoubtedly the slug- ging emperor of the game. In the course of the last nine vears—a good healthy test—he has hainmered out 765 extra bases: TFor nine years Magee of the Braves, is second, with ‘695 extra‘ bases, Cobb Standing third, with 686. Orawford’s average mark for & year is 85 extra bases. Cravath is second, with 83! Frank Baker ran third until the Trappe ploughman de- serted the ball for a rroiic in the cabbage patch and the potato hills. But, as outlined above, Cravath and Magee have enjoyed a big margin over Crawford through shorter barriers to shoot at. Conservative. 1I'll plunge on war stocks right ana left Against the Street’s intrigue, But I wouldn't wager seventeen cents On the race in the National league. Maisel’s Job. Last season Friez Maisel led the American league with a total of 74 thefts. This season Fritz had it figured out that if he could bat above .300 he would be ten jumps beyond the next bloke in sight. But the dope slipped a cog for Friez, old boy. The dope slipped when Cobb decided to lead the league him- self. So far Fritz has stalen 43 bases —but he is still 21 back of Ty, who is out in front with 65. Maisel has a good chance of beating his 1914 mark. But Cobb needs only 35 thefts in over 60 games to total 100 steals—a record unequalled in the last fifteen years of play under modern conditions. The World’s Greatest Ball Club. No, 5 Third Base. Fritz Maisel—New York Ameri- cans. There is Baird, of the Pirates and Lobert, of the Giants. There is Vitt, cf the Tigers and Groh of the Reds. There is Gardner, of the Red Sox. But for all around value Fritz Maisel is now the leading third base- man of the game. Fritz is a first ciass infielder, He is the fastest of the lot—next to the fastest man in baseball. He is batting only a shade below .310, and has stolen close upon 50 bases—second only to Cobb. He is a fine run getter and one of the great hustlers of the game—a hustler through every minute of bpattle. “If Maisel was on my club,” remarked Hughey Jennings, “wnere he could work in with Crawford and Cobb, he would bat .330, and score almost half again as many runs.” Fritz is only in his second year, and is coming faster every day. He is one of the few star playing third— Almost the only one. Sayings of Great Men. 'By Old Tom Jenkins. Eastern lawn tennis piayers will make a last hard stand against the Springfield California stars invading Eastern soil. But there are some things that not c€ven the law of gravity can control. The East has its margin in golf—but in lawn tennis the West is anchored where it lives. “There ain’t no hoit that can't be kroke.” Did You Know— That since the first two weeks of the season the Uhillics, leading the league, have won only two more games than they have lost—moving only a scant edge beyond a 50-50 clip?
