Since Brooklyn also has been kicking up quite @ cloud of dust in the land of the wild and woolly, no one will begrudge them their end of the week-end purse. No’ if our Highlanders, twice winners over the Washingtonians and @ record win- ning streak of four atraight scalps, could only be here for the general home- coming celebration, wouldn't this old Manhattan isie be a Utopia for the buge! If MeGraw's foot had Hot slipped at the last minute, forcing a surrepder to Pittsburgh in itop-over engagement, the Giants would have hung up a net mark for auccessful invasions, As it was, they lost but four games, two to Chicago and o1 ach to St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Their earlier record wus established back in the good old days of 1906, when on one trip they lost but three games out of seventeen.

Any toay, it is not the Phillies that I fear in the long run, The Cubs appear to have more punch than any club we have dumped against this season. They have a acoring machine with o punch,” Now, don't get alarmed or overanxious, dear fans. The Giant Chicftain assures us that Rube Schauer will not start for many moons, He does not report until Aug. 15, and in all likelihood will not get a start until the pennant ig either won or irretrievably lost, Rube should’ worry. THE YANKS MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR PLACE. ‘What ie regarded hereabouts as the best “replacing” of modern times is the box score of yesterday, which showed by a little MecKechnie down Washington and in doing so figured extensively the broadside that struck Clark GriMith amidships.
