SMOKE XMOOR D, PLEASANT 5c CIGAR Washington, May 30.—If the Sena- tors can keep up their present pace— end there is no reason why they should not—they ought to be out in front by a comfortable margin in a short time and once there, should be able to sttay at the top until the end of the seasan. There are no clubs in the American league which have any- thing on Clark Griffith’s men. The fenators are playing a high grade of | ! ball, and if the breaks come their way there is nothing to stop them from leading the procession in October. Boston, New York, Chi- cago, St. Louis and Detroit are vir- trally eliminated from the race by reason of their inability to get good pitching. This leaves the race be- tween Washingfon and Cleveland, and there is no camparison in the pitch- ing strength of these two teams. This means that in due time there must be a change in the situation, T hree of Washington’s Star Players Who Are Helping Senators Push Pennantward which for several weeks apparently Las been in the hands of the Cleve- lend Indians.

Mr. Mays, who makes a specialty of picking on Don- ovan’s help—that goes too in spite of the rough treatment Carl received here Friday last—was a regular maze to the home batters throughout the farewell battle at Brush Stadium.

Previous to their 1916 outburst they ran up 18 straight in 1906 and 16 straight in 1912, We know of no other club that can lay claim to three such winning dashes. Do you White Sox and Tigers, Within the next few days the Tigers and White Sox greet the eastern clubs on western sod. In view the showing these two supposedly the home stand at hand will be a bighly -important one. ~If .they chould be unable to make any head- way through June they might as well be counted out of the race—barring another miracle uprising, If they are to get going, they are abaut due. For it is worthy of note that none of the three American league clubs picked to run 1-2-3 is anywhere near i the top. In case we ever get into trauble unprepared, Ted Meredith is one of the few who will not be Ted can out-run anything from picce of shrapnel to a greyhound. a Speed. “Speed is the main thing in base- ball,”” writes. a contemporary. “See what speed has done for the Giants who have Robertson, Kauff, Burns, Doyle and Merkle—all fast men.” Through the same lens observe Austin, as fast. have Shotten, Sisler. and Marsans—all fully Grips.

But after watching Jerry Travis and Oswald Kirkby g around with the fashioned V-grip, hands unlocked, cne has a hunch that perhaps the golf may be a It a with it after all. We have seen about five grip varia- tions all employed by earnest young and middle-aged golfers able to get around from 70 to 75. Which would indicate that the grip is at least a non-essential.

And the differ- ence between winning and losing is very often about as thin as a summer breeze—a mere tilt one way or an- other. NOT VERY GOOD, EDDIE. Ind., May 30.—Ralph Mulford and Eddie O'Donnell quali fled late yesterday for the 300 mile race on the Indianapolis motor speed- way today, but last night it was an- nounced that an accident to the ma- chinery of O'Donnell’s car would pre- vent him starting. Jack Lecain's car also was in such poor condition that he is not expected to compete, making the probable list of starters for the cixth annual international sweepstakes twenty-one. Gaston Chevrolet was to receive an opportunity to qualify this morning. Robert Delno's car failed to make the required speed of eighty miles an hour for a lap of the track and was declared out of the running. < Indianapolis, MATTY HELPS GIANTS ON TOWARD RECORD 01d Master Serves Up Choice Lot of Benders to Braves Boston, May 30—OId man Matty vas the presiding genius of the séven- teenth consecutive victory of th& Giants, won yesterday afternoon from the outplayed and outgamed Boston Braves by a score of 3 to m all the time Mathewson has been pitch- ing, from his carly years and through and beyond the high tide of hig skill to his present mellow old Age— pitching old age that fs—he never did a more neatly artistic job than his afternoon when he and his fel lows shut out the Braves.

New Haven, May 30.—With a race about month away suftered one of the worst shake-ups in the history of 10wing yesterday. The poor show- ing that the crew made in the race with Cornell on the Cayuga Saturday has confirmed the opinion which had previously been expressed around the campus that the crew has gone stale. What the day will bring forth no one knows, but some shrewd guesses | have been made to the effect that j Harriman, Sturtevant and Hadley will be the only ones hitherto on the first boat that will remain there now. . Harriman is one of the best men that the Eli rowing authorities have { cver uncovered, and it is a pity that | he cannot continue as the stroke of the first shell. It is thought however, that for the sake of the morale of the crew another man ought to take his place. He will probably be shifted to number two in the varsity shell, so called, although the way it looks now | such a thing as a varsity crew is but | a mere phrase. The men were given a.great deal of pair-oar work in their training period yesterday and a tentative varsity crew was picked by Coach Nickalls as follows: cockswain, Pratt; stroke, Lawrence; No. 7, Atkins; No, 6, Kos- itzky; No. 5, Fox; No. 4, Sheldon; No. 38, Munson; No. Harriman; New- ton, bow.

Philadelphia, May 30—The Dodgerk made it three out of four of thd present series and eight out of niné of the season from the Phillies yes- terday, by taking the third straight from the champions by 3 to 2 in a pitching duel between Larry Cheney and Eppa Rixey. Cheney pitched his first good gamé, of the season, and the Phillies in con= sequence only located him for fve scattered hits. Barring the first and ninth innings the former Cub twirler had the hitless Phillies at his mercy. If he had received perfect support the Phillies would not have scored. Rixey pitched good enough ball tg win despite the eight hits made off him, but as his team could not sppt him to many runs he had to take tE{ short end of the 3-2 score.
