A few days ago they were ten and o half full games tn the lead. Now they're eight games ahead, ‘When it was predicted early in the weason that on last season's showing the Giants would simply gallop away from all the other clubs John Mo~ Graw shook his head and said noth- ing. John knew that the galloping horse is most likely to throw a shoe, He knew that the giants, playing ehampionship ball from the start, might expect to have their share of the “breaks” of adversity just when they needed a smooth run of good luck. Followers of the sport remerm-~ ber other years in which the Giants have lost a long lead in the final rush, owing to some phenomenal laying streak of a close rival or tome inexpectod breakdown in thelr own team. ‘The only safe load in baseball 14 ed when the pennant is in the locker, ‘This isn't to suggest that the Giants are in danger of breaking down. Far from it. They are playing good aver~ age l—not the kind that wins twenty-six games in a string, but tho kind that shows a team is still try- ing and still holding an average win- ning streak. One disadvantage the team has, perhaps, and that lies in having to lay the last bunch of games away me. ‘The other fellows are going like a prairie fire—but no doubt MoGraw’s men are holding something in reserve for the final spurt. FEW days ago Danny Frush wrote in offering to meet Frankie Daly in the ring and turn his end of the purse over to the Army Athletic Fund, Not to be out- done, Daly's manager, Lou Brix, writes thist “@everal Gaye ago your column carried @ story relating to Danny Frush's offer to box for the Army Athietio Fund, and tating that Frush was particularly anxious to meet Frank Daly, Staten Island's popular bantamweight, in a special bout, his end of the purse to be do- nated to the Fund “The letter further stated Frush had beat aly recontly at the Arverne Sp Club, the bout arousing cnsiderable comment, Ne here's where the hitch comes: I don't agree with my friend Bernstein, Frush's manager, In the initial stanza of that particular bout, Daly dropped the Englishman for a long count, and during the nine round, that folldwed Frush was content to atay at long range, portraying the role of an ardent devotee of ‘Terp- sichore to perfect : “On behalf of Dal ept Bernstein's challenge, entire purse received by Frush and Daly is donated to the Army Athletic Fund.

Macomber's War Cloud will win Thursday's rich Hopeful Stakes; at least that's the consensus of opinion here to-day, after the im- ported colt’s impressive victory in yesterday's third race War Cloud won by himself in 1071-6 over a “dead” track and then worked out six furlongs in 1.131-6, As in his first start, under Burton, War Cloud was slow to get going and Loftus had to hunch hin very vigorously to get to the leaders, He was fully ten lengths behind Ruth Law, the early pace- maker, at the far turn, and Loftus had to take the overland route in the run to the’stretoh. He picked up his fleld #o easily in @ little more than an eighth of a mile that he was in front when straightened out for the run to the wire Once tn the lead War Cloud was never tn trouble, If he oould be taught to get away better it would take a powerful horse to beat hin.
