Made in 1884, of Twenty Consecutive Vic- tories, By Bozeman Bulger. \ E heartbreaking grind that is to turn out @ baseball cham- pion—and maybe twe---before the end of this week is out of focus to-day and will have to wait until we ace what hus happened at the Polo Grounds, Interest, for this one day at least, centres on the golden opportunity that is before the Giants to lower the record for al time in the number of ball games won in succession, Already McGraw's sensational club has tied the modern record of nine- teen straight, held by the Chicago White Sox. To-day they can not only Ue the mark of twenty consecutive wins held by Providence since 1884, but it ts possible for them tu low: it, There are two games between New York and the Cardiuals, and nightfall may bring forth something that will last icnger in the unnals of the sport than the mere winaing of @® pennant, if the Giants should make a clean sweep of tue double- header they wiil go down in bistory 8 the greatest ball club of all time, | even though deprived of a chance at the champlonshi)., To accomplish this feat, which Mc- Graw regards as the crowning point of his long career, he bas manceuvred his pitching staff with suca uncanny effectiveness that the club » prepared to strike its heaviest blow just on the| day when it ts needed, He haa Fer- dinand Schupp and “Poll” Ferritt for pitchers, both ueving had a thorough rest and both being at top form. ‘They also have the advantage of catching the Cardinals ot a time when the drain on their staff of twirlera has beey heavy indeed, Mehe Giants should lose there will| They are vet for the} be no excuses, test.

Other members of that famous club were Joe Start, first bare; Jack Farrell, second base; Jorry Denny, third base; Hines, centre field; Car- roll, left field; Radford, right field; Gilligan, catcher, and Radbourne, pitcher, The winning streak that year started on Aug. 15 and ran to Sept. 7, when Providence was beaten by Buf- falo, with Jimmy Gavin pitching. So anxious is Harry Hempstead to establish this new record that he is reported to have offered the pitchers $50 for each game won for the last ten days, While the Giants have stolen the limelight for the present, the Dodgers are battling for their basedall lives across the bridge. With the Phillies just a game and a half behind the slightest slip will change the leadership over night, But, as evidence of where the interest centres, the Giants, during the past ten days of their wild rampage, have out- drawn the Brooklyn club by more than two to one.

NO GAMES SCHEDUL).« “Boston Is Cracking Now, Cop the Honors.” John J. McGraw, Manager of the New York Giants. HERE 1s a certain player who has cost a club in the National League this year’s pennant. I); am not going to mention his name, for it wouldn't be fair to do that now. but most ball players know him. He rated a great star, and was one —until they found his groove. A trade resulted in disclosing this information. A member of the club on which this star with the weak- ness worked, was turned loose, got sore and told his new teammates. The news spread quickly around the league. Every team has been play- ing for the groove in the man who was an important part of the pen- nant-contending machine, I doubt if he survives in the big league next season. Most of the enemies found the groove, As I said, a certain player on a contender developed a weakness this season which I believe cost his team the fi He did not develop it, the other clubs only got tipped off to it *brough the trade of a team mate. Some day I may tell the man's name, but, for the present, it would not be fair, for he is atill with the team and possibly may overcome his flaw, though I doubt it. They seldom di This time it ts not a ring thro’ ie weakness, but something lee just 8 glaring. The Renting finish of the battle this season has given me litte satisfac- tion. It is tough to manage a club that wins game after game when you know you are not close enough to take the championship. I believe the Giants to-day are the class of the league, and I don’t think I need to argue much to convince the ordinary fan. Our record of straight victories is proof enough. But I am not com plaining. 1 didn’t make my changes soon enough. It is much better to alt on the bench at this time of year and see a fighting club go out and get them than to watch a hopeless loser “WOODBINE ENTRIES.
