ACK on the home grounds the Giants are beginning to fight their battle with more hope.,~ The work of Mathewson and Tesreau against the Phillies yesterday meant more to McGraw than if his club had won three straight games on lucky breaks. He now has two pitchers on whom he can rely, and that is a situ- ation he has not enjoyed since the return from Marlin last spring. There is a chance of the Giants climbing to their rightful estate, but to do it there must be no more of this in-and-out business and the old club must work like a well ofled ma- chine. Good pitching will do ntore than anything to get the parts work- ing together. There are ninety-two games left for McGraw to play, and to win a pennant it will be necessary for the Giants to win sixty-two of those, It is generally conceded that the team winning 00 games will always win the pennant in any league, The Giants having won twenty-eight must necessarily win sixty-two more to get the 100, This means that they must win practically two out of three until Al cover Ayo hm forearnis and bent protect ys ~g The third round was a hard one for arated for a moment it looked as ich, with his quick, solid ba and his great strength, beat the Jersey a dow! a hard punch into Jim and Savage countered with it ae e ear that made rm g low’ ees bend.

In the whole route the Phillies got but four hits, two of which were made in the last inning. The Yanks have gone West to re- coup their lost fortunes, and current rumor has it that recouping is not at its best right now in either Chica- go, Detroit or Cleveland. The Red+ Sox are pushing the White Sox so clonely that every game will be fought as if the pennant depended thereon. Washington ‘has suffered what is probably the worst beating that a club has received this season. The Red Sox trimmed them six straight and it was indeed a lucky thing for ie Yanks. By winning half of their games the Senators could have shoved New York out of the first division. On the other hand, the Yanks lost their best chance of the year to cluch thelr grip among the leaders. By beating the Athletics a majority of games they would have had enough margin over Washington to last them all around the Western wheel. Bob Shawkey made bis debut In a New York uniform yesterday, and, as luck, or misfortune, would have it, he had to do his debutting against his former team mates. The Yanks gave Bob all they had in the shop by way of support, but they couldn't get the needed run over in the ninth. Shaw- key appears to be in excellent con- dition and ought to win a lot of his games. The much talked of Mr. Crowell of Brown University took his initial the once over. everything he got over the pla: those that were not flattened wer wild they were quickly turned into bases on balls. Davis, who succeeded the “colleger,” as Pipp calls them, was just as bad. He walked nine bat- ters, while Crowell passed five.
