'y Bozeman Bulger. . ITH the Giants but one and one-half games away from the lead, the National League race from now on seems to be purely one of en- durance, If the Phillies with two reliable ‘pitchers can outlest Mo- Graw’'s forces with four twirlere, who can be called upon in regular turn, then ee old league Will have a new champion. Alexander and Seaton have pitched more than two-thirds or the games won by the Phillies. Their work has kept the Dooin gang in the lead. The Giants have not had to depend on any two men, but at all times McGraw has been able to call upon Matty, Marquard, Tesreau or Demaree and feel assured of having the goods delivered. The other pitchers on both clubs have been merely fill-ins, FRane FuKTert How MANY TIMES GIANTS ARE MATHEMATICAL FAVORITES. A bookmaker who figured his odds mathematically would make the Giants favorites in the betting. It does not stand to reason that two gitchers can outlast four. Neither does tt stand to reason that a team with comparatively no reserve force can outlast @ team that has three third basemen, elther.of h is as good as any in the National League. These men are Hersog, 8) and Grant. Of course, if luck sticks to the Phillies and there are no mishaps, they are likely to go right ahead and lead the pack, but that is the way the betting men figure. Luck cannot be depended upon for mi months at a time. The goods must be behind it, STALLINGS THINKS GIANTS WILL WIN, In this connection George Stallings, the bravest of the Braves, saya he does not see how the Giants can lose in the present race, icGraw has more good infielders, more good outfelders, more hitters and more reliable pitchers than any club In the leagu: Stallings, “and I would like to know are going to down a lon like that without a miracle. I don’ to say that he has absolutely the best pitchers in the business, but he has more of th@n that can be relied upon. You know,” continued the Boston manager, “Napoleon once said that Providence was usually on the aide that had the biggest army, and that is quite trug in baseball.
