HEW! but this Nattonal | W League race is getting to! be a close one. This morn- ing just ten points separate the Giants in first place from the Pi- Tates in third, with Chicago three! points ahead of the Pirates and seven | points behind the Giants, The Giants got a bad bumping Inj the Windy City, and one that was a) fore disappointment to McGraw, as he had great hopes of taking at} least two out of three games from the Cubs and coming home with a safe lead in the race for the bunting, To-day is another day of rest for the Giants, but they will have to use it in travelling from Chicago to Bos- ton, where they open a four-game series; with the Hubbites, including a double- header on Wednesday. From there they %0 to Philadelphia for tour games, in- | eluding two games on Labor Day. After that they have six games In / @ row with Brooklyn, five on the Polo grounds and one in Brooklyn, following which the four Western clubs come ou the final invasion of the season, St.Louis, | Pittsburg, Chicago and Cincinnati com- ing in the order named, All told, the | WHERE'S’ THAT OLD ENTHUSIASM AT THE FINISH OF A BIG RACE? Giants have thirty-five games more scheduled for the season besides five postponed games, four of which are on the Polo Grounds with Western teams. Of the thirty-five games twenty-three— fateful number —will be played on the Polo Grounds and twelve abroad. Ts long series of games at home! is what gives McGraw and the loyal fans a chance to figure on| pennant and world's championship pos- aibilities; but it ‘s @ fact that the Giants have been a better road club this season than a home club. In any event the National League pen- nant race {s the closest the old league has had in many a» year and ‘3 doing the game a world of good, Crowds all over the country are turning out In larger numbers than ever before, not only in the towns that cities that have SNAPSHOTS CF A FUTURITY WITHOUT PUBLIC BETTING DONLIW FALLING ALL GROUPS ARE UNDER SUSPICION WITH THE LARGE ATTENDANCE SATURDAY, AND WITH BETTING TUT OUT, THE SITUATION JAS.

If Mathew- gon can make good on his promise to pitch every other day for the rest of the season the extra seats that Presi- dent Brush js putting in at the Polo Grounds to take care of the world’s championship crowds will be needed. If Matty can't make good It really looks as if the seats will be idle during the second and third week of October, Detroit would again take the honors, | ie the American League it looks as {f as they have a safe lead of twenty- even points over St, Louls, wbich 1s not showing as good form as early In the season. The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland are pushing Detroit hard, and the White Sox look more like the con-| tender with Detroit than St. Louls right now, Cleveland has been going at a steady clip all season, someching un- usual for that club, which usually blo ‘up some time during the race, There {s time yet for that thing te happen, however, Detroit and St. Louls will have a merry battle the next month, as they have eleven games to play together du ing the remainder of the season, se in Detroit and four in St. Louls, While! these two clubs are fighting each other Cleveland and Chicago will also be g, clashing, so that there is a prospe again of a hard fought finish in the American League, such as has always marked the wind-up of that race. eg SHEEPSHEAD BAY ENTRIES, rid.)
