Ill ANOTHER WEEK If Luck Don't Change for Philadelphia in Rational Circuit, Either New York or Chit-ago Is Coming Up on Top of DuiK-h. NEW YORK, Aug. Another week of National league baseball similar to that which ended yesterday will find Philadelphia deposed from the leader ship with either Chicago or New York at the top. - The Quaker City club yesterday cjn i luilod a disastrous invasion of Chi cago and Pittsburg, losing twice to the Cubs and three to the Pirates, even Alexander being unable to hold down either of these teams. One game, nar rowly won over Pittsburg, was Phila delphia's lone victory in seven playing dayy. Meanwhile Chicago and New York, in trie fifth and sixth positions respec tively one week ago, have been ad vancing. The Cubs enjoyed a clean sweep week of five games and the Giants losing only two out of eight nlayed The::e two teams were the only ones which obtained better than an even break. St. Louis r'tnainel in seventh place and Cincinnati in eirrhth. but all the other clu'us except Philadelphia were engaged in shifting their positions New York and Chicago climbing and Brooklyn, Pittsburg and Boston de scending. Brooklyn regained its lost ground, however, by today's double vic tory over Chicago. Boston within a week has ranked as high as a tie for second place, to as low as sixth place after being defeated by St. Louis. In the American league Washington showed excellent form, taking six out of seven games. Johnson and Ayres c.ime through in fine style, each with two games to his credit, and the team is beginning to be discussed as a re mote pennant possibilitv. Ten games boh in! third place last Sunday Wash ington has within one week reduced this gap to six and one half games. Twenty-one victories out of the last thirty-one games played is the Wash ington record a pace slightly better than either Boston or Detroit within the same period. The Senators gained little on the White Sox and the Tigers, however, as the leaders took three out of foiT games; and Detroit, winning five out of seven, passed Chicago for second place. New York. taking'-three out of four was the only second di vision club to do better than break even. Cleveland, by the loss of a 3oublf header slipped back from sixth to seventh place. Philadelphia won n single game in one week, making five victories in 23 attempts. No American league club, representing that city has in vears done so poorly. With five "li'.hs virtually on even terms in the Federal league race the past week show two changes in their relative position Chicago was dethroned by Kansas City and could not again resume the lead and Newark climbed to a place in the first division, passing St. Louis.

Why were they allowed to speed through the town? Where were the police? A few million, more or less, such ques tions could be promulgated along that line, but the real truth, which don't hurt in this case is, that Harry was ahead of Ellie for the very simple and concise reason that he was towing the little cuss, who was mounted on his Merkle racer, by a string attached to the rear end of Harry's machine and attached to the front end of Ellie's racer.'

ATTENSKUN YOU CUBS LEWY GALLS MEETING Of the three players who went from Phoenix to play in the Coast league, Lynn, Nutt-and McArdle, Lynn is leading them all in batting. Byrd has been in IS games, 36 times at bat, made 9 runs, 13 hits, of which two were 2 baggers, and one was a home run. . His everage is .361. Nutt is sec ond on the select list of former Phoe nicians with an average of .263. He has played in 15 games, been at bat 19 times, made three runs, secured five hits, one being a two bagger. Mc Ardle is at the tail end with the in finitesimal average of 184. Harry has been in 22 games, been at bat 76 times. made six runs, purloined 14 hits, one of which was a two bagger. Don Bader, who was a great favorite with Phoenix fans is with Vernon and has played in 28 games and been at bat 109 times making 12 runs on 22 hits, with 2 three baggers. His average is figured by the coast sharks at .202. AVord now comes from Los Angeles that commercialism and the introduc tion of fast cars into the Los Angeles-Phoenix race has caused the de mise of the desert classic. The sport scribes over there are hollering their heads off over the fact, that an honest to gosh amateur can't take most any old car out of the garage, put on' a pair of extra heavy tires, inject a lit tle pep of some sort or other, and go out and make the trip across to Phoenix. Phoenix. Perhaps all of this may be somewhat true, but for time, nerve and a real and true demonstration of what a car can do. it takes a BEAL driver in a real fixed up car. and sent along at real speed. It may have been some race when the amateurs were driving, but who outside of the two cities in- National League Packey McFarland, former light weight, and the king of them all at 135 pounds (when he weighed that much) has at last taken a fight seri ously. For years the stockyard fightei has gone along licking most ev, j fighter that he could get into the ring : with him, at most any old weight. It is claimed that during those palmj days, McFarland never gave a second thought to his training. He was fight- ing constantly, and never seemed to , have any trouble in keeping in condi 1 tion. But now with $17,500 in sight, and the fact facing him that if he loses his fight to Gibbons, he will fin ish a long and illustrious career with a flock of stars in the offing, Packey has" got down to work. It has been reported that he is possessed of sev I eral inches of overlapping waist band, j and that he is extremely anxious to dispose of this before he gives the ! public a glimpse of his training. Gib ! bons is clever, and carries a punch in i either hand, but Packey is clever too, I and in . some ways is lots more of a j fighter. Mike has been accused dur j ing the past year o rso of laying down jand not doing his best while in the ' ring. There may be several sides tr 1 this story. One may lie, that as op j ponents have been considerably scarce 1 for him, and the few he has succeeded I in mixing it with have been second j raters, he has probably neglected his ; training, and when the milling started discovered that his reserve supplies of I stamina was somewheres in the imme diate past. But be that as it may, it j is a safe bet that there will be no I stalling on either side when this fight I .'omos off. Too much is at stake, j Promoters have been aching for years ,to get Packey and Mike together in tfee , same ring, but when Packey married jand-made one of his annual retire , ments, it looked to be all off, Packey ; is being guaranteed $17,500 win, lose ! or draw, which is rather good for i an old timer, and a middle weight at that. BEST ATHLETE CROWNED The Cubs Athletic Club will hold their weekly meeting tonight at eight o'clock. This meeting is de signated as "Dues Meeting" and should be well attended.

Conditions of a more substantial' and enduring character contributed to a very strong and active, market. After yesterday's very promising crop report came news that the Interstate Commerce Com mission would in all probability grant the increased freight rates of two score railroads traversing the western sec tion. This resulted in a broad de mand for better known railroads in cluding the transcontinental group and hard and soft coal shares. Cana dian Pacific made a striking gain of 6 points on announcement of the maintenance of the regular dividend. United States Steel common touched 76 3-4, the highest since 1912. The price fell over a point after midday, when the publication of the July un filled tonnage statement showed an increase of 250.000 tons, whereas a larger gain was anticipated. A new high mark was registered in General Motors common and preferred 221 and 109Vi, Westinghouse, 115; Willys Over land, 160; Studebaker, 87. The latest j turn of events in Mexico was reflect ed in the strength of Southern Paci jfic, Smelting, Mexican Petroleum and ; National Railways of Mexico and i shares of other corporations whose ' interests were more or less bound up I in the future of the country. Total j sales amounted to 1,120,000 shares. ' Demand Sterling fellto a new low record of 4.75 3-8 and checks for Paris broke at the new record of 5.78. Italian made a new low mark of 6.37.
