Colliers Pirates Tigers Rangers .. PIONEERS BIG ME SUNDAY,, With fair weather Sunday the base- ball fans of New Britain will have a chance to see one of the best ball games ever held in New Britain. The feature of the afternoon will be the play the deciding game: of the se with the Pioneers. As each team has won a game, this game will be worth seeing. Manager Norton had a hard time to get the Giants to play here Sunday as they wanted to play off the rubber at Lighthouse Point, New Ha- ven. Manager Jackson of the Giants has guaranteed to pitch Culver, the pitcher who beat the Pioreers in a twelve inning game. The Pioneers arc out to win the game and Manager Norton hopes to sce the fans turn out and help the boys along. Manager Norton has arranged a scries with Poli’s of Hartford, to be played the latter part of August.

Chicago,- Augz. 12.—Manager Wil- bert Robinson of the Brooklyn Na- tionals announced vyesterday that Pitcher Lester Stevenson had been purchased from the St. Boniface club of the Northern league.

There isn’t anybody who can beat him.

Travers knew it at Baltusrol this last June, Whose turn will it be at Detroit? McLoughlin had his turn against Vilding and Brookes. Norris Wil- liams was due at Newport against Mc- .oughlin for the brief grip upon his best possible game. Top form is a matter of necarly perfect mental and physical co-ordination, where brain and muscle are working in harmony— where one’s game alinost takes carc of itself without calling for any extra expenditure of effort. For the harder one has to work to achieve his best, s often the less chance he has of caching it. As Ouimet remarked at Baltusrol: “My game plays itself; when I have to labor for results they rarely ever come. When I am scoring well I am ving at an e clip under very little strain.” Pittsburg’s Chance. On this hasis the National league race would favor Pittsburg.
