The Braves have made great gains on the Dodgers in their swing through the west and played the best ball while here of any eastern visitor x Stallings this season has more hitting than his club ever developed before, Magee and Konetchy being important at driving in runs. His pitching staff is every bit as good as it was the year he won a pennant' He has lost J3I11 James, but.TVler and Rudolph in the last six weeks have been turning out victories with ma chinelike regularity. And Ailen.y Hughes and Nehf are good enough to take a regular turn and whip any club in the league. Boston is making this fight with out Johnny Evers, who has been ab sent for some time, first because of injuries and then because of a run in with the umpires. All of which may be indicative of something. Maybe it means "that Stallings has a regular ball club and does not need the ginger of the crab. Maranviile furnishes that ingredient, and in plentiful quantities. Brooklyn has kept at the top on the strength of good pitching and teamplay. The team boasts no .300 slugger; yet is around the top for club batting. Recently, however, the l pitchers have not been enjoying life., iiarry Cheney has fallen off some- fT what, and Pfeffer, the iron man of the combination, has been hit hard. Phils are still in the fight, but it is hard to see how Moran can win a penriant It was just "as much of a puzzle last season, hut he has more competent opposition now, both Braves and Dodgersbeing better than in 1915.
