There is no answer, Jeff having given ic up himself we will have to follow suit, His contro! in the comeluding} game against Cincinnatl was abso-| lutely perfect and the hits were so| well scattered us to be negligible. He did not issue a base on balls, did not hit @ batter and at no time was in trouble, “IT can't explain it,” said Big Jeft last night. “J reckon 1 feel vetter some days. 1 seem to be just as strong one day as the next, but the kind of pitching that lands me a winner one day will be knocked all over the lot the next. 1 know it don't really as good pitching, but I can’t tell the difference when I turn loose the ball,” This shutout of the Reds gave the Giants a little more ease of mind, as the cellar was yawning to receive them, with the Keds and Cardinals soaping the track, The Cardinals! are here to-day for a last look at the Polo Grounds this season and Miller Huggins declares they have come prepared to have a decided say-8o about that occupancy of the cellar, We shall see, Two desperate battles were staged in an effort to decide the National League leadership and when all was over the relative positions of the Dodgers and Phijlies remained un- ohanged, When the Brooklyn deloga- tion finally triumphed over the Cubs in the tenth inning there was rgeat rejoicing in Ebbets Field and along the Gowanus Canal, but before prep- ations could be made for a gen- ‘al celebration the Phillies came through as dark: was settling over Pennsylvania and beat Pitts- burgh out in the ele’ inning. The two leading clubs are still just two points apart and this afternoon's battles may bring about a switch. This neck-and-neck fight, by the way, has played a peculiar prank The Pod, & percentage. one for the Book. Though he still has to make a hit California Kelley showed a big in provement at first base on his se ond start.

Fred Snodgrass ts still without a b> though four or five clubs in the ational League are angling for his services, Being a free agent Fred can make terms with whom he pleases and he is taking his time about sign- ing @ contract, ‘The rumor to the effect that waiv- ers had been asked on Chief Meyers appears to be unfounded. One of the ORK Startling Reversal of Beating Reds WHEAT’S HOME RUN IN TENTH SAVED DODGERS. ACH WHEAT'S three-bagger in the tenth inning at Ebbets Field yesterday won for the Dodgers against the Cubs, When Wheat came to the plate Myers and Daubert were on the bases, The scoreboard showed that the Phillies had won, Something had to be done to keep within two points of the Phillies. Wheat did it. Thé hit was easily a home run, but as only two runs were needed Wheat gets credit for a triple, pretty well fixed, He should worry. At last we have unearthed the cause of Jack Doyle's deep interest in baseball as she is played to-day, When a lad Jack pitched a memora- ble ten-inning game for the choir boys’ team of Springfield, Mass., against the Truant Sehool Club, Jack finally won out, the score being 55 to 54, In Springfield they'll tell you about that game to this day, The purchase of Pitcher Bill James by the Detroit Tigers seems to have upset some of the other American League owners considerably, ey are now complaining that President Navin and Hughey Jennings are try- ing to buy the pennant, the same complaint that they were making against the White Sox while they were at the top. If a manager isn't to be given credit for making a good swap the ancient and honorable oc- cupation of trading will become @ lost art, And, then, when a team ie on the toboggan they kick because trades are NOT made. The Tigers and Ted Sox had a couple of hard battles to decide a league leadership and that also re- sulted in dogfall, While Ty Cobb and his gang were whaling the life out of the Athlotics the Red Sox managed to beat the White Sox and they are still neck and neck, If there is an outfielder in the Na- tional League who has anything on Fred Merkle, the gentleman can make a lot of money exhibiting at the Polo| Grounds. MoGraw’s ambition to have | an outfielder of the Speaker type is about to be realized, And, think it, he had him under cover all the time, President Somers of the Cleveland club says he is ready to sell Out- flelder Joe Jackson and Shortstop Chapman to the highest bidder, That looks like an excellent opportunity for the Yanks.
