SOX WIN INTS EASE UP WORLD'S SERIES th Pennant Practically As- jred McGraw Lets Up on Men | Che clinching of the National Ague pennant by the Giants now | jonly a few days away. The Giants | 2d only five more games to a.nnex; |» flag, and that is on the supposi- fn that the Phillies win all of their maining seventeen games. The pre- ation of the Philadelphia-Brook- double header in Philly last Sat- ay made the work of the Giants Lich easier. These games cannot be | yed off, as Philadelphia has no | bre scheduled games with Brooklya er at home or aboard. 5 Vhile the Glants have known for | dong time that it was a practical | possibility for them to lose the pionship, still a team a.lwa.ysg s a certain relief after a flag is ab- | lutely clinched The big strain is fcen from the players and they feel @ easing up A rest for some of Giant regulars at this time will very beneficial. | The team has been travellng at a st clip ever since it ran off that cele- fated string of twenty-six straight nes last fall. After a winter’s in- mission the players started in on “other steady clip and have been ing it ever since. For quite a setch the Gilants were in a pretty id slump and had any team really ‘en chasing them this slump might .ve proved dangerous. But the | fes, in their slow, plodding way, never able to go faster than out a .500 clip, sq the Glants kept r big lead intact, though for a nth they did little better than play ball. ¥ Improvement in Work. {Tately there has been an all around provement in the club’s work, fatoh is encouraging with the world's Mes only a few weeks away., Be- Aning with the Philadelphia series @ Giants have won eleven games fainst five defeats. Both the Phil- s and Robins were beaten four -imes out of six. Mhe pitching also has been of the ! ghest calibre in the last dozen or ore games. Just now Schupp, Per- it and Sallee, the three pitchers up- i whom the Glants will bank most in world’s serles, are booming along | tter than at any time in the sea- . n. After a slight falling off in his fciency Schupp regained his spring ride. In his last game against krooklyn, played here last Wednes- vy, he permitted only two hits. Perritt is pitching the best ball of [ s entire career. Since Labor Day 3 has pitched three shutouts, two sainst Boston and one against the hillies. Heé held Brooklyn to one an in seven innings last Tuesday. ne run in four games is what might 3 called warming up for the series.

Philadelphia and St. wouis seem to be mighty sure of run- r second and third respectively. inishing third is a great victory for nggins, as he was last a year ago nd there have been only three other division clubs in the National e history of St. Louis. Hug- jins also managed one of the two New York fans are rather disap- ointed over the fail of Matty’s Reds. f'he Reds looked like a sure thing for second place at one stretch, but how they have quite a fight on with ‘he Cubs for the bottom rung of the first aivision. Brooklyn blew fits hance for the first division when it Llost four out of six to the Giants early § week, Though the Yanks lost to the Red ox last Friday and Saturday, they d a fairly profitable week, winning ve and losing three. They took ‘flouble headers from the Athletics last fonday and Tuesday. After that the d Sox last Friday and Saturday. they had a fairly profitable week, | winning five and losing three. They took double headers from the Ath- letics last Monday and Tuesday. Aft- M- that the Yankees began to think of beating Detroit for fourth place, ut now they will be lucky if they can Tkeep ahead of Washington. The Yanks finish their series with the Red Sox today, then take on Cleveland for & three game series beginning tomor- row. While the Red Sox are through so far ag the 1917 flag is concerned the ;l‘am still is powerful. Had the west- arn teams been a little more success- fu] against Chicago the Red Sox might still be in the race. As mat- " ters now stand, the Red Sox have a higher percentage today than when they won the pennant a year ago. This shows that the Bostons did not ! go back any, but that Chicago ad- | vanced a great deal this season over Its 1916 form.

New Haven, Sept. 17.—The Colon- ials, apparently in a slump from which they cannot emerge, dropped the deciding game of their series with the Poli team of Hartford by a 2-0 score, at the Lighthouse yesterday. Bad breaks behind Pumpelly in the eaerly innings gave Polis their scores. The locals hit the ball hard, Pot- teiger and Lanninfi having nine put- outs, several of them difficult plays, but the hits refused to drop safe. Pillion was finely supported. Both pitchers allowed five hits. The contest was marksd by some sensational flelding, Joee Griffin, Lan- ning and Potteiger al contributing features.

M. A. A. for the closing day of the Berlin falr. The fino weather prevailing during the entire week favored the performers and some close finishes were the results of many of the events.

C. fiier, who cap- tured the 880 yards run in easy fash- ion and also the 440 yards dash; i George Dillon, all-around champion of the city, who took first place in the 100 yards dash for the city cham- plonship_in the senior division and Jimmy Plant of Long Island, who outran a large field in the five-mile run, after cutting down competitor after competitor, all of whom had big handicaps.
