HE most apt explanation of the sensational rise of the Boston Braves probably was given by George Stallings when he said: “It took me two months to get the boys working together, and then there was nothing to it. While the other clubs | Were calling it a bad season and had decided to let it go at that we caught them napping and came through.” And a peculiar thing about this wonderful spurt that has attracted | the attention of the entire baseball world is that Stallings does not sin- cerely believe that he has a ball club of class, “Under ordinary circumstances,” he the Giants had the best combination of players in the league, but they have been winning so long that they have grown callous—have Jost the zest of fighting for a pennant.

McGraw bought Gowdy from the Dal- jas, Tex., club five years ago as ao first baseman, but quickly saw thi he would not do in that position on account of his lack of speed.

The Western amateur cham- pion finished with 291. Ouimet's to- tal was 208, being in a three-cornered tle for eighth position, Evans's last two rounds were re- markable. He electrified the largo gallery that followed him by nego- tating a 71 and a 70, Evans's score of 141 for yesterday was the best double round of the tournament, and was accomplished despite several missed putts, His ankle seemed to bother his putting more than his long work and trons, Hiss tee shots spanned some 300 yards of the fairway nearly every time. His jrons were nearly all perfect, but in the last nine holes he missed three short putts and had no luck with long ones. He finally drove the edge of the 18th green, 277 yards, and bad left one putt for a half with Hagen. The spectators stood on tiptoe while the Chicagoan tried the 30-foot putt. He missed by 12 inches and tho championship went to Hagen. Oulmet lost the title with graceful equanimity.
