V MONT AT, AT77TST 4f 10 IX THE SOUTH BEND NEWS-TIMES. LOOKS EASY FOR GUTSJTIPS MATH MACKS Philadelphia Nationals' Only Chance is a Slump of Mc Graw's Men Cleveland in Three Doubles Without Loss. NY' YOIIK. Aus. 4. With two lull months of major P-ague baseball regaining, pennant aspiring manag ers aside from McGraw of the New York Giants, and Connie Mack of the Philadr'phia Athletics, took a measure of comfort from the week's play concluding Saturday. During the Feven days Philadelphia crept closer to New York In tne National organization, while in the American, Cleveland made a gain on Mack's clan that was sufficiently noticeable us to he significant. Ban Johnson's organization furn ished the baseball sensation of the week in the fine showing of the youthful Birmingham's team from Cleveland. In four playing days the Naps passed through three double headers and a .single game without meeting defeat. Through the seven game string of victories Cleveland made a 37-point leap toward the Jennant, Inasmuch as the Athletics did little more than hold their own. Birmingham's club began its climb Tuesday, being unscheduled Sunday and prevented by rain from playing on Monday. Kahler and Mitchell carried the Chvelands successfully through a double-header against the tail end Yankees. Rain interrupted the "winning streak the next day, hut on Thursday, Greg?, who relieved Falkenborg. and Blanding won an other double victory from the Bed Sox. Friday Cullop won from the Bostons, who Sunday fell before Cleveland's third bargain day tri umph, Gregg and Mitchell chalking up their second victories of the week. The only bright spot in the show ing of tho Athletics was the pitching of Carl Brown, Mack's youngster who has made a record this year that has surpassed those of veterans Blank, Bender and Coombs. Of the former world's champions three successes, Brown scored two. Bush, another youngster, was responsible for Mack's only other victory. The Athletics' comparatively poor work has cut their 10 1-2 pa mo lead over Cleve land to 6 1-2 games. CYaek Was Predicted. Tho negative' showing of Mack's team recalls tho recent comment by Clark Grilfith. predicting a crack in tho Athletics lino playing. Coupled with Grillith'a prediction, however, -were hopeful words on the part of his own toam. In this connection, ho playing of the Washington's during the week, put a damper on their manager's confidence. The Senators did so poorly, in fact, as to be further behind tho leaders than they were last Sunday. In tho National league, only the first division teams managed to win more than they lost. The Giants dropped only two out of eight, the Phillies one out of six. while Chicago won four out of seven and Pittsburgh four out or six. unicago iook iwo out of three from Boston before splitting even with the iGunts. while Pittsburgh won four straight froif. Brooklyn after twice being victims of Philadelphia. Brooklyn and St. Louis worn the disappointments of the week, each winning but two out of eight. Browns Stop Boehling. Besides the showing of the Clevc lands, the fans' interest centered on the records of several pitchers, no tably Boehling of Washington. Room ing's string of 11 victories, unbroken since the start of the season, was in terrupted by the "Lowly Browns." The St. Louis team, with Mitchell in the box. gave Gritlith's youngster a 4 to 1 defeat at Washington. Later in the week Boehling showed the ef fect of his early work by again los ing, this time to Hall of Detroit, and by the same score. Marquard appears to be on the way to another record, although he pro fesses not to be trying for one. Sun day he won his ninth straight, de feating St. Louis. Thursday he nar rowly escaped losing to Chicago, the technical rules of the game crediting his team's defeat to another pitcher. The record in each league of the games played, won. and lost with the runs. 'hits, errors and men left on Ita-scs, is as follows: National I ensue. P W L 1 : II K LB New York . . . Philadelphia .

The Sox could have gone without him. The eleven thousand beauty. And other characters of fame, Are usually nothing but lemons So the Sox could have gone just the same. Time alone will tell the story. Of Chappell's playing ball, Dopesters cannot figure, But Chappell wasn't needed at all. Since this Is the first day that our column ha been in the paper it misht be well to tell the purpose of the thincr. You know lots of times the reporters have a hard time get ting news. At these times the make up man raves and tears his hair and yells for copy. Just in cases like this will this bunk come in handy. So here goes. I thought of a clever idea. It came to me with a rush. Why not write a column And simply call it mush. Then another thought Came gliding to my mind. Let it be known as Rarebits. Methinks 'twas a clever find. I spoke to the managing ed. "That is pretty good," I think. Thus spoke the Ed to me. I figured I was some gink. And then another fellow, I won't tell his name. He also had an idea And alas 'twas about the same. Both of us are good writer?. Of that there is no doubt. Put he or I or the other Had to go without. We'll stage a little contest. Whoever writes the bet Can write the column once in awhile Well you know the rest. It was a close decision, That I must admit. Put the stuff I wrote about Chappell The editor thought was it. And so I won the fracas In fact I am glad I did. For now my stuff will sure got in. No longer will it be hid. Sometimes the junk may he funny. Other times it may be sad. Put. even at that, gentle reader. It won't be quite half bad. So now you know the story Of the fight I had to make. Then don't forget, kind public. It was for your own sake. It seems that every sport guy that writes a column always mixes 1n a lot of poetry. Many times have we wondered why they did this. Tho answer is that it's just as easy yes, easier to write poetrv as it is other stuff. Goat Anderson is olng to try to play Ihird base. It's about time he's trying to do something.

Tim Hogan, who umpires all the thrilling engage ments between the Dixon and Sterling baseball teams, was not at his barber shop Monday, so a couple of hundred angry fans who dropped around to continue Sunday's heated argument, were disappointed. Umpire Hcgan got in bad with the fans in the seventh. Ned 'Whitehead, slugging outfielder of the Dixon Stars, drove the ball into the river and circled the bags, but Hogan declared he failed to touch third. Whitehead raced the circuit again. "You're out." said Hogan, "you missed second." Hogan led by a neck when the crowd chased him to the left field fence, dropped over and disappeared. Dixon lost the game.
