HIGHLANDERS MAKE A RECORD othte te 4 Whether They Win or Not From White Sox To-Day, the High: ’ landers Will Have the Distin ction of Having Won a Series on . Their Home Grounds for the First Time This Seaeon. By Bozeman Bulger. jal neat carries the Yanks into the last game with the White Sox ternoon. Whether they win or not, they will have the distinction fof having won a serics on the home @rcunds for the Aret time this eeason. If memory and the available dope serves us right, twe or three clube have gone away from horo after a dead heat, but fot one has been beaten @ majority of ‘what Jiamy Callahan gets for beating us in trade Go far the ave trimmed him twice, and with Russell Ford ready for mound duty Vrank Chance has an excellent opportunity of making @ cleam eweap. HARRY WOLVERTON MIGHT GE T A OMILE OUT OF THIS. As unfortunat we may think the Highlanders are, Practically the same position, ao far as winning percent were this time last year, On Aug. 1, 1913, they had loat aixty-one for @ percentage of .837. For this season they have won thirty- one and lost sixty-two, the percentage figures being 204 <All FIGURING AT LENGTH FOR A THRILL. As long as the rain knocked us out of mew material, suppose we take another look at the figures, The Yanks have but eixty-one more games to play, and if they should win every one of them the best they coud! go in the way of per- centage would be .607, Even though that woulg mot win « pennant, it's some- thing to look forward to. A REAL HUNTER ON THE JOB. Huguenot having failed there was nothing left but a little 4 freshen the boys up and the old dean did it. Just five AND LIKELY TO GET IT TOO. Yes, and that same Mr. Mathewson (2 right on the verge of lead- . ing all the pitchers in doth leagues for the season. So far he has won nineteen out of twenty-four games, and to make it even more pointed he has won thirteen of hia last fourteen etarte. First thing you knoto, even as conservative an old gentleman as Matty will be starting out for one of those successive wine secorde. sean ‘While no pitchers have been purposely passing Georgie Burns for fear of a Yeanup wallop, it might be of interest to know that up to Aug. 1 he had more ‘Aits than any man in the league. The St Johneville cigar roller and cigarette smoker had poked out 110 safeties. SIDE BETS ALWAYS TAKE INTEREST FROM THE GAME. By the way, that race between the Giants and the Athletics for the high epade honors is getting hotter every minute. The Athletics were ahead in per- centage for two days, only to drop again when defeated by the Browns, while the Giants were trimming the Cubs. This little side race seems to be attracting more attention right now than tne real war for the respective pennants, ‘WHY SHOULD HE STEAL OUR STUFF, ANYWAY? Clarke GriMth came an awful cropper in his predictions ¢or a Washington pennant during the series with the Tigers. The Senators were beaten again Yesterday and now stand twelve full games behind the laders. With but fitty- lz games to play, Griff is going to have a tough job making good as @ prophet. within seven games of the Athletics, and there may be race in ‘the American Baagué after all. Two victories over the Red Sox and Birmingham's men are Deginning to think about that $100,000 offer from the Cleveland fans agait. CALLAHAN SAY8 ONLY CURE IS THE WHITE 80X. They tell us that the Chicago fans are bordering on g state of nervous collapse. Between their regret at seeing Charley Murphy win and their equal regret at seeing the home club lose they are getting in shape to give the doctor business in the Windy Burg a doom. ‘This fellow Leonard, third baseman of the Des Moines club, just purchased ‘by the Pirates, is sald to be ashamed to come into the league. Fred Clarke brazenly confesses that he only paid $8,000 for the new man, and the Pittsburgh fans are already) clamoring to know what's the matter with him. STILL, HE'S NOT BOTHERED WITH REPUTATION. ‘And this reminds us that Jimmy Callahan has promised to put Larry Chap- golle, his $18,000 entry, on exhibition at the Polo Grounds during practice this afternoon. “I don’t think there will be enough money in the house,” says Jimmy, “t@ tet him appear during the entire performance.” THEY SHOULD START A PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION, It's all off about the Carnegie Institute getting that Hang Wagner uniform to put on exhibition. Hans refuses to give it up unless they pay him the pur- chase price and the additional laundry charges of 90 cents. “That uniform ood thing,” says the director of the Inetitute, “but we can't eee it ‘All right," wrote Hans, “The fang can see it for 7% cents.” ‘The misfortune of Rube Benton, the Re# pitcher, who was badiy injured in a motorcycls accident, may furnish an interesting case for the Players’ Fraternity. The doctors say Benton will be out for the rest of the season, and President ‘Herrman says his salary will be stopped until he ts in condition to play again, ag he did not receive hia injury while in pursuance of his duties, What Is the Matter With the Athletics?
