12 UP TO DATE AND NEWSY THE ~ THE BEST SPORTING PAGE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1908, IN NEW YORK EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN 1 ———— Wonderfully Close Race in National League Is Great- est Proof That Baseball Is | Rg on the Square. N all the history of sport has; there ever been such a close competition between teams or individuals as this year's National League series? As things are now, Chicago and be New York will stand tied for first | place if the Giants win both of the remaining games with Boston, It the commission decides that the dis- puted Chicago game goes to New i York, and the Giants lose one of the Boston games, then New York, Chi- . cago and Pittsburg will be tied for first place. Y Considering the fact that each elub will have played 154 games, this 4s hardly short of miraculous.

HERE fs no such thing asa “fake” in league baseball. The best | proof of th's is that not even a rumor of a fake of any kind has been spread by any player. To frame things in baseball games without letting the facts leak out to the public would be impossible. But have you noticed how furiously all opposing teams play when pitted against the Giants?
