The pitchers’ battle between Wood and Gallia was notable for the latter’s fine pitching, and his even more bril- liant support by Milan. Hooper's triple, one of the two local hits, and Scott's sacrifice fly scored Boston’s run at the outset. Except Gardner, who singled in the second inning, and Hooper no other Boston player reached first during the game. Wood was hit at times and was inclined to wildness, but tightened in the pinches o and had sensational support from Barry and Lewis.

N m Senators- b Y The pennant aspects of the present have befogged | even the dope of the umpires.” National league race We | | were talking over a few details of this | famous flag hurly-burly with one of the leading arbitrators of the game, | who has operated amcng the zig-zag | fortunes of the different clubs .and | has had unusual oppcrtunity to make | observations. His comment outlined | the situation thoroughly. ! “I have seen a number of pennant races in my day,” said this arbiter, “but nothing like the present one. I change my mind as to the October winner about four times a week. = cne series I will be certain that Pitts- burg will land the prize. They will furnish every mark of champions. In the next series against a wealer club ihe Pirates will look like tail enders. The same dope is true of all the ochers. The Braves, Phillies and Dodgers will look almost unbeatable | for three or four games, and then will cut in with a series of Class X base- ball. In one series one of these con- | tenders will look strong in the box, at bat and in the field. In the next the pitching will be bad, the batting weak and the ficlding ragsed. I've never seen anything even approaching these sadden shifts from good to bad form — and back again.” Lack of Consistency, “The lack of consistency this sea- son,” he continued, ““has been heyond ny past turn of the game. Only Dodgers had the longest stretch of all when they won twenty-one out of twenty-six games—playmg pernant Laseball for a full month before they slipped. And the Braves had their tarn in July, when at one stage they won something like fourteen out of sixteen games. But outside of these few instances no club has been able to hit off any consistent pace and hold it.” Picking the Winnes When we put up the proposition of sttempting to pick the winner the umpire balked. ! “There are too many ‘ifs’ in tho, way,” he said. “In spite of Pitts-| burg’s bad showing against the Reds, if she can put away a fair record on this Eastern trip T believe she has a fine chance with those twenty-three home games through September; for with Mamaux, Harmon, Adams and | McQuillen Clarke has a fine pitching | staff, and he also has the fastest club | in the circuit. In order to crowd | Pittsburg out Brooklyn, Philadelphia end Boston must hit a rast clip at home between now and September. The club that doesn’t is out of it There isn’t enough room now for any club to have a home slump and make up the gap later on. Of the three it | wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest to sec the race come down to a final | clash between Brooklyn and Pitts- | burg, with Philadelphia ciose behind. Ecston doesn’t look anyswhere near as £00d as she did back in July.” The Tip-off. The main tip-off as to form, dope and the twist thercon in the National league is shown by the records. The two clubs that lead the batting are St. Louis and Cincinnati, the only | tail-end contenders. 5 [‘ The best fielding club, by the, records, Is Cincinnati. Here we have | the Reds second in batting, first in | fielding—and last in the race. Yet batting and flelding are supposed to | be two fairly important points of baseball as the game 1s piayed. No One-Man Reign. | There is no one-man reign now in cither golf or tennis in this country. Last summer McLoughlin beat Brooks and Wilding, but Williams beat Me- Loughlin and Church beat Williams. | So far this season Ciarence Grifiin ! has beaten—both last season and this. | McLoughlin, rated as the greatest of ail living tennis players, has been dropped by two of his countrymen in | two important matches—and those | | who beat him have fallen before the | charge of others. The same holds for goif. Ouimet | peat Travers at Ekwanok last fall, but Travers countered by beating Ouimet at medal play in the recent Open, where the Massachusetts star was supposed to have the winning edge. Travis beat Travers at Apawa- 1ais in June. What will happen at Yorest Hills in | lawn tennis and at Detroit in golf within the next fortnight should add many interesting pages to the history | of American sport, For in neither | sport is there any one entry whose prowess is all prevalent. The Eig Hunt. This country, and other sections of the universe, spent five years finding a man to beat Jack Johnson. His 'Namc Is Willard. | Now the big hunt is on to find a | man who can beat Wiiard, For cnce a champion is installed, the next process is to drop him from the heights.
