Continue to Put Up Grand Exhibition New York, Aug. 20.—The Reds have played the best eighteen innings of consecutive baseball anybody has played at the Polo Grounds this year.

Brooklyn, Aug. 20.—Doddering Nap Rucker and his slow ball proved too | great an -obstacle for the irascible Roger Bresnahan and his Cubs at Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon. By | the grace of an early lead and plenty | of good luck the former king of the | southpaws was able to survive ‘a | crumpling defence and maintain a | slight advantage to a successful : sue. Nap led Brooklyn home to a 6 to 5 victory, one of the most potent of the season, as it landed Robbie's team just a breath behind the pace- making Phillies.

Boston, Aug. 20.—Bob Bescher had a big time yesterday on Braves field. Five times he went to bat and on four occasions he hit safely, once for a triple. He drove in two runs and scored one himself. The other Car- dinals scored one more run, while all the Braves were able to amass was one lone tally. Pat Ragan started for Boston, and Hughes and Tyler followed him. Leon Ames went all the way for the Cards.

Anthony and Cleopatra. Tom and Jerry. Cohan and Harris. Scylla and Charybda. Ebb and Flow. Rock and Rye. Stars and Stripes. Russia and Retreat. Greatest Shots. Some one has opened a discussion as to the best shots played by the Ouimet and Evans, They might be ranged as follows: Travers—Driving iron and putting. and putting. Evans—Mashie shot up to the hole. Travers is the best man with the ariving iron in the world. far and away the best amateur at Landling a bdassie for a iong shot to the green. Evans s cxceptionally good with both wood and Iron, but the one shot where he rises above all other American amateurs is in the use of his mashie. Those who are lucky enough to be at Detroit in the next fortnight might make a few observations and note whether or not these deductions are right or wrong. Another Tip. I note where you figure cut a fair even arrangement in the lawn tennis championship ahead with McLoughlin, Williams, Behr and others fairly close together. But yvou can take the following as McLoughlin, ptaying most of the time upon the asphalt courts of California, hasn’t had time to adjust his game or to have it properly keyed upon grass courts. The shift always takes a few weeks. But he is now swinging into his stride, and by the time the championship is on there wll be only one contender—and the name will be Maurice McLoughlin, of California. Wait and watch, SIDELINER. Dear Sir The Cub Status. Of late weeks the four clubs figured with a chance for the N. L. the ap- | Bresnahan—New Washing- | | Grénfland Rice fizg have been Philadelphia, Brook- Iyn, Boston and Pittsburs, No one in particular has given the Cubs even an outside chance. But in spite of being overlooked Bresnahan still has his clan breezing along in polite society and the Cubs, like the Pirates, spend the greater part of Sep- | tember at home, P It might be suggested that the Cubs hardly stack up championship stuff. But what other ciub in the N. | L. can be rated as u championship | clan upon form shown this season as The Reds are down around the foot. But they look about any of the others. as good now as They have shown about as much class, or cven more, by cutting the heart out of Pittsburg in a five game series, beating Alexander on home soil and then opening with a victory over the Glants. One club ir that circuit looks apout the same ! as any other. And certainly no club ret has cut in with any glittering championship class. | ol this clear to make room fo best be nee time.
