The pUyari on the Philadelphia!
National club, which has been
leading the league for a long i
time, art- in as good position as i
anyone to get a slant at the pen
nant race and estimate the
strength of the various clubs.
They say it will be a fight be
tween themselves and the Boston
Braves, but not one of them will
predict that the Phils are going
to win. They give Brooklyn and
Chicago honorable mention and
■ay they expert the hottest fight
th« old league has seen in a long
time.
"If we win we will have to
beat Boston," said Bill Killlfer.
the Iron-armed pitcher, in a dis
muaion of the outlook. "That
Club ••ems to have hit a good
stride and is getting better pitch
ing than earlier In the season.
Dick Rudolph is going fine and
lie's a tough one to beat."
Brooklyn was suggested aa a
contender.
"Brooklyn looked dangerous
when they were winning so many
games at home" said Grover Alex
ander, the Phil pitching main
stay, "but we figured they would
drop when they hit the road
Our dope was right. The west
ern clubs have put a crimp in
their chances.
"Chicago has a good looking!
«lub, but has been handicapped'
with players getting crippled. We!
know what that means. We had |
our fill of It for two or three
seasons."
Bert Niehoff the second sacker,

opinion among the Phil players,

"I'll play Webster for monpy,
marblea or chalk," said Leitn.
"I'll play him on any course,
and for any number of holes.
It's up to him to name the time,
place and length or the game."
Webster Is a newcomer in Ta
cnnia and has not demonstrated
his ability to any great extent,
although he already has made a
name for himself as an expert
club maker. He was told of
the challenge yesterday, but as
yet has not signified Whether or
not he would accept.
Golf enthusiasts say that the
match will prove one of the most
interesting contests between pro
fessionals ever seen in Tacoma.
It is certain that a large gallery
will follow the players, should
the contest be staged.

PETE IS WILD;
WE LOSE AGAIN
VANCOUVER B. C, Aug. It.
—Henry Peterson, the Tiger
pitcher, was wild yesterday and
had little of hU old salve on the
pill. He wag hit by Vancouver
whenever tilts were needed, and
he walked enough men to lose
him the game under normal cir
cumstances.
Tacoina had a chance of win
ning, when, with the bases full
in the sixth, Murphy booted a
grounder and enough runners
came across the rubber to tie thq
score. 4 and 4.
But in the seventh the Tiger
chanceß were blasted. TfcfM
hits, by McCarl, Brinker and
Cheek, a walk by Frisk and a
sacrifice fly by Brown, netted
the Beavers two extra runs, and
gave them the game, 6 to 4.
