An argument came up the other day as to whether or not any pitching de- butant had ever drawn as brilliant a[ start as Al Mamaux, the Pittsburg sen- sation. Mathewson his first season out won 20 games and lost 17 with a tailender.

Quaker strategy was confounded before his single that hummed to left center and brought Maisel to the plate with the tally glvee ing the Yanks a 3 to 2 victory over the Mackmen in a game prolonged to twelve innings. In the records Ray's hit goes as a single, but there is not | the least doubt in the minds of those | who saw the game that it would have been good for three bages or perhaps a home run if such a smash had been needed.

Singles by Lewis and Gardner, Henry's wild throw to check Gardner's steal, and a passed ball on which Lewis scored, made up the decisife combination. Washington used ibres Boehling retiring in favor of Ayres when he became wild in the fourth, and the latter gave way to Johnson in the ninth.. The visitors' outfielders cut off several hits.

Experience. Those who follow the fortunes of £port put experience under fire as one of the main winning factors of any geme. The entry who has been over the high hurdles and has fought his way to success against the test has a g edge. For this reason Travers and Ouimet would be picked to beat Evans if cither should meet the Western star at Detroit. Travers and Ouimet have each won an open and an amateur champlonship. Evans nas vet to win cither—and the first win is always counted as the hardest. In the same way the psychology of this National league race in many | ways favors the Braves. Phillies, Dodgers and Pirates are now up against their first rugged test through | the stretch, where the strain grows | But the | Lraves have been over the route be- fere. This thing of smashing their | way to the front through the last few | whirls is no new experience for them. They took the same road no later than last year. They proved then that they could do it. And that 1914 drive will be a big aid in their present battle when the Tace finally gets down to the last few wceks. While retaining our full and com- plete neutrality in this National league race, it would be a wonderful thing to see Honus Wagner back in one more world series before the Old Boy finally passed out through the gate for the last time. Hans has already been in two post-season championships, against Boston in 1910, and against Detroit in 1909.
