By Borenan Bulger. HETHER he succeeds in over- hauling the Giants or not—it is not impossible, by any meana—Georgo Stallings has estab- shed a record with his Braves that will stand for years as the most re- markable in modern baseball. By & second victory dver the Reds, yester- day the Boston club leaped over the heads of Cubs and Cardinals into sec- ond place—by & nose. The slightest shift in results may change tt to-day, but that does not lqgeen the wonder of it ; his achievement. A month after the season began the Braves were wedged in last place, and ‘when Stallings said be would overtake the Giants by Sept. 1 the whole league bad @ good laugh. But the laugh le now on the otber side. During the last two months the Braves bave played at a clip of .800, while the jead- ers were practically standing still. ‘Think of it: from lest place Stal- lings has passed the entire feild with the exception of the Giants! His club fe but lx and one half xames behind the lead and it is not at all imposel- ble for bim to make that up in the allotted time of bis threat.

The Cardinals muy not win a pennant this year, but they must be reckoned a first division team for several years to come. Hug- gire has increased his strength to such an extent that he can afford to beach a catcher ike Wingo which, it must be admitted, is going some. ‘This young man Snyder, who has supplanted Wingo, is the marvel of the year as a backstop, He has a better arm than Archer and has the knack of throwing the in just the right place for the man covering the bag to touch tHe runners. On sev- eral occasions he threw out men like Burns and Beecher with such ease as to draw a laugh from the crowd, feeling their position endangered, Gre growing desperate. Just as they were on the verge of slipping into second place, past the Cubs, the Braves have leaped over them both. Huggine thinks he can beat the Giants with Doak, and it was Ais intention last night to use Aim today. He has been saving Wid Goung man to stick in againet Mathewson, and according to Mc- Gra schedule it te the time. The Big Train te ready. .

Saratoga, Aug. 11, OHN BE. MADDEN has plenty of excuses to offer for the defeat of The Finn in the opening event here yesterday. While he expected his Ogden-livonia colt to win, his dis- appointment was not so great when he took Into consideration that Sena- tor Camden's Solly had to create a new five and a half furlong record of 1.06 8-5 to beat Th eFinn. The old record of 1.05 4-5 has stood since 1908, when it was made by the that time “queen of fillies,” Maskette, ‘The Finn's race behind Solly under the circumstances must be put down as a creditable performance, for he giving six pounds (4 Soily.

Yanke is one of the best horsemen in the country; he is one of the few who can say with a de- gree of certainty when his horses can win. He collared John Madden in the club house before the fifth race and tcld him not to bother about tips but to have a bet on Brave. Yanke knew whereof he spoke but he trembled a bit as he looked ehrough his feld glasses and saw Brave a dosen lengths out of it on the back stretch.
