CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Outfielder Max Flack's hit down the first base line in the seventh inning robbed Jack Coombs, the famous Iron Man, of a no-hit, no-run game against the Cubs. Coombs never pitched @ greater game, and the Dig crowd gave him a tremendous ovation he walked off the field after the ninth inning. 80 great was his work on the pitching mound that only three of the Cubs reached first base and nary one got as far aa second, Brooklyn won the game by a threw in the high apeed clutch and went humming along as they ehould go. To give him moral support any number of New York mewspape; mon are along with Robbie and, remarkable though it may scem, he has not yet felt any {ll effects from it. A new batting order with Benny Kauff at the top failed to check the slump for the Giants in their first game of the series at St. Louts, It was a 6 to 0 defeat, making eight out of the last nine for the enemy, The Giants were fooled by the squthpaw slants of Bob Steele.

Tue Giem who Dev CY \-— hiladelphia Campaign, “We Would Have Had a Fine Show to Come Through Again This Season but for Dropping Those Four Games to Quak- ers,” Declares New York Leader, By John J. McGraw. (Manager of the New York Giants.) NE sorties at thia time of the year will pretty nearly ruin @ ball club when it goes the wrong way. The Giants to-day are as good a baseball team as the one that won three pennants for me beginning ia 1911, I believe, and we would have had a fine show to come through again this season but for the recent Philad La, series, Those four games we ped have now shaded that chanee down very fine, very fine indeed. Wilbert Robinson's Brooklyn olub should win the flag if the Superbas carry the heart to fight to the finish for the money. They are up against a gang of tinish fighters in tho Braves and a great “money” ball club, By that 1 mean this snarling, nervous, wrangling bunch of Stallings's al- ways goes best when there is some- thing at stake. They came into Brooklyn for an important series just before starting West, and left with the long end. They won three out of four. The Braves get most eve thing they go after, and it is general- ly this way with @ ball club of which Stallings is the chauffeur. He puts that gameness into his men. And J. Evers helps. This spirit and the name of t Boston Braves will give Stallings a little edge in his fight with Brooklyn, and I believe Boston and Brooklyn will battle it out. Anybody who gees up against Stallings and his team, fighting for the flag, soon realizes has @ muss on hie hands. When Braves go into a game they carry a little entage for this reason. It waa like the old Cubs of Frank | Chance. The name on the uniforms put them off a run in the lead. But on the other hand the Braves are no better liked around the circuit ‘To HAVE an 'nee Upset My Whole Plan of | yer — _ Series a aa Neven, ry .

The Philadelphia clud beat us out of a championship in 1908 right at the end of the race when the team, with- out a chance for the flag itself, caught us crippled and tore into us right up to the handle. Coveleskie was hyper | out of turn, and it made the resul of the race a tle. The Cubs won the playoff game. Moran's club came up as the stumbling block again this year. There has always been that feeling between the Giants ani Phillies, and, to show the honesty of baseball, I haven't a better friend in| the game than good natured old Pat Moran, and nobody pulled harder for | him in the World's Series last fall than I aia. i Of course, my Club is not entirely out of the race yet, but they are crowding us.
