It is a noteworthy incident that the | Giants began to settle in 1914 when | Matty began to slip. Up to mid-July, | that year, he had won sixteen games | and lost but four. His club was then { well in front. From August on Matty | tegan to slip ond fall back, and the rest of the Giant cast fell with him. His return to form is now about the | | only show the Giants have af getting | back up. If he could get going again and join with Jeff Tesreau there | might be enough inspiration for the rest, of the cast to rise up and break | away from the galling bondage of | | the present.

Well, of all the big leaguers playing then, in ad- dition to Big Six, there are just two left. The answer is Hans Wag- ! rer and Nap Lajoie. Johnson was | then just eleven vears old. Ty Cobb | varely out of short trousers. And | Brooklyn had just won a pennant. | Arc We Correct. | We would like to get right on a certain proposition. As we under- it from the late {stand and recall | March and early April dope, there | were five regular pennant contenders in the American League. These clubs were: Buston, Detroit, Cliicago, New York and St. Louis.
