Giants Break Even but Superbas Twice
Bow Knee to the Reds
Comment and Gossip
On Sports of the Day
By HERBERT
GrVEN a truly run rare, a momcn:?ui?. question to Yiorsemen will be
settled in the running of the Saratoga Handicap at on? mile and a
quarter at Saratoga Springs this aftornoon. The officia] handicap
fer consider* Roaraer the Lest of the older horses in training, with Bor
tow. Luke McLuke and Stromboli, three, four and five | .way, re?
spectively. This is the qui at least three of
the four are likely to go to the post. There can be no quarrel with the
allotment of weights. Mr. \ . gh has proved his skill in this respect
too many times, but a number of horsemen in whose jmlgment much con?
fidence can be placed have expressed the opinion that Borrow is the best
horse in training. If that be true, he ?a likely to repeat his victory in the
rich Kentucky Handicap last spring.
BORROW ran a disappointing race in the Suburban Handicap, hut was
y hampered by the fall of three horses which resulted in the
death of IS - ran a dil - J bad race in the
Empire City Handicap, but has proved himself in many a brilliant race,
while Stromboli has been remarkably consistent, to say the least. It is pos?
sible, of course, that one of the more light weighted horses will flash to
the front. Handicaps are specifically framed to give every horse a win?
ning chance on his best form, but interest naturally will centre in the run?
ning of those which are : phut' in the first flight.
Promise oi Fine Racing.
NEVER, perhaps, .has the outlook beer, so bright for a successful meet?
ing at San The reservation of boxes in the grand?
stand and rooms at the hotels is indicative of more interest in the
sport than in ten or twelve years. The best horses in training from the
metropolitan tracks, as well as those from the West and Canada, are
on the ground, and, while the class and quality en the whole is not so high
as in the golden days of the turf, still it is high enough to insure the kind
of eport which attracts and satisfies. The meeting wjil run four full
weeks, and in that time some of the most historic fixtures of the turf will
be decided.
Ups and Downs in Baseball.
BASEBALL is uncertain and pa and downs, bul the upi
downs of the National I. ?? this year are beyond tl
complex puzzles ever propounded. Coi billies. After
breaking away to a living start and winning twelve of the first fifteen
games playo?: tace, and still held their place
at or near the top from May 6 to date, although in the last two or three
? Its they have been going along just a bit faster.
Consider the Superbas.
CONSIDER, now, the Bnx klyn Super' - - winning only two
gam? Western trip, they found themselves in last
suddenly I made a wild rush for the top. In
winning twenty-two out of twenty-nine games played, with one a tie. from
June 30 to July 27, when they 1 id Western trip, V? .
Robinson and his men landed in second place only a short jump behind
the Phillies. In that time they played better baseball and travelled at a
faster pace than any other team in the league. They cannot be expected
to continue this amazing record on the road, but for the present, at least,
there is 1 . to anticipate any imp, a? the players aie
keyed up to pennant hopes.
Braves on a Rampage.
NEXT in order, consider the Roston Braves. On July 6 the world'?.
champions, after a disastl ped in the cellar,
: at just when it looked as
if their miracle days had passed, a drive began which put them back in
the running with a When they beat Brooklyn last Tuesday
on their way West it made their twelfth victory in thirteen games pla
an abnormal pace, but one the B have confidently expected all
the year id pennant is within
his grasp. "Nothing can stop us now," he says, but in this particular
National League race i. the echo from th everal
other manag?
Cubs in a Crash.
GOING f Their story is not such a happy
one. venteen games played on their
? lead held for three or
four wt ? ?veil. Just how long th?' slump*
will cellar, or close to it,
' rush back again to a [dace at
or near th? I ming struggle.
As to the Giants.
JUST once aga I . did much better in their
las'. ...ed their follower." to he
lie-.e thai the Ion ad come and that slowly but
surely thej WO . I hev their way I t. Their days of bad pla;
mixed with g and, while they hung on to a
place in the fi I y right of courtesy, if nothing
they .-lipped ba n the eve of this all-im port ant
Western trip now in progress. Hope is far from dead, nevertheless, for
st ven of tlie eight bed that, as said before,
'anything can happen, without n most rabid fan draw a
long breath.
Might Stick Awhile.
? t |?"v 0 you still think the Chicago White Sox will win the American
1 League pennant?" writ . "I made a vager following
*??"^ your pi' cfore the ring if
this would not be a good time to hedfi ." If the wager if worrisome and
too much to carry, of course, this ia a good time to hedge, but any team
that is making such a good i be casi aside lightly. The
x hold a they will play
at home for the next three we? .-. but let it be recalled that the White Sox
won fourteen out of the twenty gan.es played on their last Eastern trip.
It sounds like a pretty good road team.
Height of Optimism.
