This is all due to the fact that Mack broke up his machine by releasing Bender, Plank Selling Eddie Collins and Eddie Murphy to the Chicago White Sox and Jack Barry to the Boston Red Sox. And in adition to this failed to mect the terms wanted by Home Run Baker, which has kept the latter out of the game for the season.

The ultimate tip-oft on the form of this National league race has been ex- vloited in the last fortnight. Some ten or twelve cays ago the spellbound populace—or such part of , it as inhabited flag-dreaming towns— was wondering just what club among the contenders would tuuznch the next onslaught and set the pace. There ‘was rapid discussion as to whether it would be Philadelphia or Brooklyn; or Boston or Pittsburg; or maybe Chicago or New 7ork. The answer came from the most unex- pected source in the world. For al- most precisely at that given momem,‘r the club which arose upon its hind legs and proceeded to do the bulk of the smashing was Cincinnati; sure tail ender; the one club regarded as the most succulent meat in the dish for pennant aspirants. It was none of the leaders but the third he passed five men. Three Vwere - forced home and the Burns! | drove two others over.

Since the season opened Mack has been experimenting with some youngsters and has discovered several among them young Malone, who has been holding down second base. Maci says this youngster will develop into a marvel. He also has a number of pitchers who look very good to him. Lou Bressler, who was with the team, has shown great form of late, and the leader of the Athletics declare he will develop into one of the lead- ing pitchers in the American league in another season. Watch him, says the lanky leader of the Athletics. DARKNESS STOPS GAME. Twelve Inings to a Tie at Savin Rock —Other Games. New Haven, Aug. 21.—Darkness ended a terrific twelve-inning battle between the Maxims and Orphans at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon. Eaton, who has a great reputation for losing games, was i great shape after the opening inning when he and two and a sacrifice gave Pawtucket three runs. A sacrifice fly by Captain Coles sent in New Haven's first run in the first and some great base run- ning by Moese Miller supplied the second run in the fourth. Miller worried Watling into giving him four balls and he went to third on Soper’s double. While O’Connell was throw- ing Edwards out at first, Miller started for home like a sugar house under a full head of steam and beat the return throw by a safe margin. | Coles doublea in tnhe eighth, took { third on Miller's out and scored when Carr made a poor throw to first aft- er getting Soper’s roller.

EARL COOPER WINS AT ELGIN. { New Course Record of 74.97 Miles an Hour Sct By Winner. Elgin, 111, Aug. 21.—The Chicago Automobile club trophy, for which nine drivers entered over the Elgin course, was won yesterday by Earl Cooper. The time for the 301 miles ! established a new record for the course. The finish follows: Elapsed time. 4:01:32 4:05:04 4:09:55 Time per | hour. | 74.97 73.85 72.46 71.16 70.83 Driver. 1—Cooper . 2—Anderson . 3—oOldfield . .. 4—Alley ... 4:14:29 5—O’Donnell .... 4:15:40 6—Brown. Out at 217 miles. T—Henderson. Flagged at 184 miles. 8—DePalma. Withdrew at 176 miles. 9—Justen. Stripped gear at 97 miles. DePalma was the favorite at the start and held the lead for the first fifty miles when he broke a rocker arm. He laid up at the pit for more than an hour while the part was being replaced and started again. Fnially seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, he dropped out to save the motor for the race today. DePalma’s mishap left the race be- tween Cooper and Anderson, both driving the same make of American car.

From a tail-end position they suddenly swung into = .900 pace, tearing the everlasting heart out of Pittsburg,” Philadelphia and New York in succession, with a disp:ay of power, speed and hustle beyond any form shown all the year by any other club —not even excepting tne July rushes and Braves, who won Popular Win. Not since the days of '69, some forty-six campaigns ago, wnen a Red- land club crushed all opposition, has Cincinnati ever figured exiensively in any campaign, Redland has never heard the music produced by the flutter of a flag. It may be this season she will still finish last. It may also be tnat she will continue her march ana with a long hame stretch in September at least play a leading role. But regardless of this, a flag victory would be fully as popular among the fan flock at large as the Brave conquest was a year ago. There is nothing the non-com- batant likes better than to see the | under dog swing back into the fight and emerge with a big patch of rival hide between his teeth. The Red Chance. The Reds, of course, are still long shots. Very few give them even an outside chance. But what chance was Boston given last summer to overhaul the Giants and then beat the Mack- men four straight? About 1 in 4,000. Baseball is, even upon the average, a complex institution. It 1s beyond any basic dope, This season its com- plexity has been even more pro- rounced than usual. And a club that can play the brand of vall the Reds ally drew into a safe lead when An- derson’s car lost a little of its speed. Cooper's average speed was 74.97. The previous record for the distance over the Elgin track was at the rate of 73.5 miles per hour, made by Ralph DePalma last year. A fair crowd lined the course despite the cloudy ‘weather.

The National leaguc won't stage the only finish after all. The flag winning canter predicted for the Red Sox same weeks ago is no longer on the board. Jennings has thrown his club forward at full speed for the last three weeks, and with Bill James, of the Browns, linked to his pitching staff the Tigers are now in position to give their main rivals an even battle down through the dusty September stretch, James will add power to the Tiger pitching defense in more ways than cne. He should be a factor upon his cwn worth. And bevond this he will glve Dauss, Covelesk{ and Dubuc a better chance to ease up in work and thereby increase their own effective- ness. Jennings has a club that carries the | wallop. He doesn't require any air- tight pitching to win the bulk of his games. A fair display of stuff, backed up by the heavy artillery of .
