■ RACE IN THE BIG SHOWS SEEM. ALMOST FINISHED _ _ barring accident*the LEADER* WILL PINI8H ON TOP. r Interesting Gossip of the American end National Leagues—Clubs Heve Straightened OuL Barring the lenders, too safely en trenched to be disturbed by the bat ltes of the week, more than one club In either of ihe baseball leagues has experienced a temporary change In pofition. even though the final count finds them all In about the same places as a week ago. Changes have been more marked' with the first divi sion clubs because they are better bunched than thoee In the second flight, and while any one of the four clubs still has a fighting chance for the pennant in the American League, the race in the National la the same old procession, with the Giants dally opening up a wider gap. There are yet chances for all kinds of changes In the complexion of the race, as the season is not yet half gone, but It appears as though the real fight in Ihe American league will be between Boston and the. Athletics. There Is hardly a question that Boston Ib the one team the champions will have to beat If they expect to capture an i other pennant. No team has shown better form than the Red Sox, and it would not be surprising If the race vould soon narrow down to these two teams, with present odds slightly favoring Boston because of better conditions and because their pitchers are showing much better form It is not likely that any of the other teams will do more than occasionally threat en. but so far as being serious con . tenders any of the other clubs might ■ s well be counted out of the race Measured by the Athletlca or Boston, none of the others appears to have class and It Is likely to be amply demonstrated ns th. —__ older. There was a time when De troit wa* always a factor, but that once wonderful ball team has been fast degenerating and the Tigers hare been in the ruck ever since the pres ent season opened, getting worse right along and displaying the weak ness of its galaxy of old stars when on Saturday Mullen was set# in In a pinch to bat for Ty Cobb, a confes 1 slon that Manager Jennings hag lost faith in the league g premier batsman Washington's 8treak Flash. The more one studies the Washing ton team the more he wonders how It was possible for the Senators to make a clean sweep of the west on their last trip. Either Washington found the other teams In a slump or else a majority of the victories were the , result of things breaking right for them, aided by good work by their undeniably fine staff of pitchers Sum ming up collectively the work of Grlf f-.h s men as shown here there does not seem to be a particle of reason ■why they should occupy so high a position In the race. Careful analysis show* thST the Senators are traveling beyond their speed, and If is extreme ly doubtful If they can maintain their , standing with the leaders much longer and It would he no surprise if they soon found their proper lode ment among the second s'lnad before the aeries with the western teams W'as over. The main strength of Washington lies with the batteries, as •side from that the team, while a promising one. has hardtv reached Us full development Its hitting is spas modlc, while Its fielding is uncertain and ltR base running reckless some. . times almost to the point of foolhardl. Bess Nevertheless, whatever posl tlon the team eventually occupies. It will have furnished the real sensation of the year and its record of 17 straight victories will go down in baseball history along with other notable events and will occupy more prominence because of all teams Washington was the one least expect ed to make such a record. Athletics Miss Crlpplas. There Is no gainsayIng (he fact that these are troublous times for the Ath letics and the team is weaker now for a hard struggle thsn at any other period since It first won the world's championship. The unfortunate In jury to Murphy has been severely felt and now with Barry on the hospital list the future looks anything but bright, considering the hard campaign ahead. Manager Mack has had to shift his outfield, but he misses the guiding hand of his captain in the field, and while Derrick will make a fairly capable substitute he lacks the snap and dash not to say baseball brains of Barry. Then the uneven work of bis pitchers is another cause of worriment to the champions’ leader. Plank seems to be the only reliable pitcher In the squad, for no one who saw Bender pitch Wednes day can believe that the C’ ef Is yet at his best. Even CoombB oi late has been going poorly, while the others are at best but experiments, for Mor gan Is too erratic to be considered, his principal weakness being entire lack of control. Naturally, when the pitchers go badly it has a disquieting effect on the rest of the team and the fielding larks confidence. Still, the champions have managed to main tain a place In the first division, and If they can successfully weather the series with New York. Washington and Boston, the cbanres are that by the time the western teams arrive their cripples will be bark and their pitchers may be showing Improved form. The one obance the Athletics have to gain on the leaders will be in the New York and Washington games and by the time they meet Boston should be within striking dis tance of the Red Sox. No Stopping the Giants. Except possibly Pittsburgh, there not to *nv tk. | National league capable of stopping | the mad rush of the Gians, who are not only Adding to their big lead al most dally, but showing batting form totally at variance with the ordinary ability of the players when judged by past performances. Naturally success i begets success, and If New York | keeps up Its present stride It will I break the league record for total games won—116 by Chicago In l»06. Man)nurd look* as though he would set a new mark for consecutive vic tories. and the Giants themselves are batting a streak, hitting all pitchers with equal freedom. They now have a lead of H9 points over their near est competitor. Chicago, which is having a great contest with Pittsburg for runner-up. with Cincinnati still In the hunt. It looks as though the brunt of the work of breaking the Giants' rapid climb would devolve up Ion the Western clubs, as there does not se. m to be any one of the Kastern contingent capable of stopping their rapid flight. The Giants are robbing ^ihe rare of much of Its Interest, as while there are several hot fights for position among the other clubs, base ball "fans" like to see the lead see saw a bit. even though their favorites mav not be among the contenders. No Improvement in Phillios. It I* but the telteratlon of an old i sfory to point out the reason for th" ■ Phillies' lark of success, and though 1 they have managed to hold >wi to th-lr place at the top of the second col | umn. It has hardly been because they ; have in any manner Improved of late. I hilt simply because the club* below have been pretty near In the Same i condition.

BRIDAL OUTFITS SHOV FASHION’S TRBND NEW YORK, June 2*.—Almost as away weddings are being held la town ns out In the country, for while 1 handsome city houses are, for the I most part, boarded up for the sum-1 mer, the bulk of the fashionable ect still lingers In this vicinity, and j motor* Into town frequently on bust- { neee or pleasure bent. Laoe and Airy Chiffon. Lac* and chiffon are a large part of most "robes de ceremonle" whether worp by bridal parties or their guests. Ths traditional wedding satin Is con-I fined to the underslip, girdle and other trimming touches, while the all lace robe or the one of airy chiffon ; with lace as a garniture is the ruling favorite this year. Considerable use Is being made of the silk selvage of the chiffon as a trimming adjunct. Ruffles and ruches finishing with sel vages In place of hems. For the simple* gowns that many brides elect to wear silk mulls and batistes are i becoming and are serviceable after the wedding far many occasions. A to«£b of handsome lace In a one-sided, softly draped fichu; a fashionably draped girdle of satin ending In the smart Japanese bow now faddish, smart white satin slippers and em broldered silk hoee, make up a most attractive wedding rig that cal* be ' varied to suit special tastea almost Indefinitely now that fashion acta her seal on mrh widely differing models. ! Tha Value of Girdles. A smart girdle shaped over feather bone goes a long way toward mak Ing an^ summer frock successful, and | there was never a time when a wider choice could be had In these acres-1 series. From the simple folded belt of jne dress material ending In a pump bow at any point on the walat that seems desirable, to elaborately shaped little garments, half fichu, half; bretelle, which may finish with long! coat ends or short turnover tie, there are endless styles to suit every taste.' ('.rest use Is made of velvet ribbon! for walat finishes and, on French1 dresses, half widths of taffeta or satin, with the selvage on one side! and a narrow machine hem on the other are very much In evidence for1 sashes, also silk materials edgml with ' narrow frills or the ubiquitous corded 1 putnmss that now trim everything, bats and parasols quite aa acceptably as dresses.

AMERICANS WOULD HAVE NO CHANCE THE AMERICAN HIGH JUMPERS 1 WOULD HAVE NO CHANCE. j Against German East Africans, Ware They to Compete in the Olympia Games. If a Watusal should compete at Stockholm there would be much sor row for George L. Horlne. world's champion high-Jumper, formerly of Stanford University, but now of the Olympic club of San Francisco. What's a Watusal * Among other things he U a negro bf German East Africa, whose athletic achievements outshine anything yet done by Horlne nnd other champions of the civilised world. In a recent number of the National Georgraphlc magazine Is an arttele by Adolphus Frederick, duke of Mecklen burg. entitled. "A Land of Pygmies and Giants." In which some Interest ing facts concerning the prowess of the Watusal. Inhabitants of German East Africa, are given. The world’s record for a running high Jump was « feet Inches until Horlne recently set a hew mark at < feet 7 Inches. But a Watusst athlete would clear this height without the least difficulty. According to the duka of Mecklenburg he would not consider htmsetf Id a real rotgest until the rod were placed nearly two feet higher. In referring to the athletes of that Watuaal the duke of Meckleaburg writes as follows of his experience while n*ltWig this 'tell and weU mads people of almost Ideal physique, who range from I feet II Inches to T feet til Inches. 'The following dare were* devoted to sports end athletic exercises of which the high Jumping of the young Wa tties! wee the moet remarkable feature. "A line which could be raised or lowered at will warn stretched between ^ two slender trees standing on an In cline. The athleaee had to run up to this end jump from a small termite heap a root high. Despite the unfav orable condl. ions exhibitions were given which would place all European efforts In the shade. The beet Jump er*—slender, but splendid figures with an alrooet Indian profile—attain ed the incredible height of ].I0 meters (• feet 5 Incheei and young boys made the relatively Ino lean wonderful performance of l.SOtto 1.(0 meters tl feet). The termite heap from which the Watuaal Jump Is a sponge and mound and k but a handicap to the Jumping, according to Mecklenburg. The figures flven by the Oerman explorer Indicate that the Watuaal have not only a shade on Horlne In x color, but several shades In Jumping. The fans rxavesbesngwastlng the Sox pretty hard for the past week, and have directed moet of their flings at Manager Callahan*- because of his work, but these same fans were the loudest ones In his praise a month ago. when the team was Waning up the eastern teams and making the whole baseball Id alt' up and take no tice.
