May 20.—Within the last week two pitching staffs which wtfi-c counted upon to swing into line at the beginning of the season have shown the form expected of them. The staffs belong to the Giants and Pirates, and from this point alone I predict that the race will settle down to a battle between the New York and Pittsburg clubs. They possess the two best hatches of pitchers in the league now. with the possible exception of Philadelphia. Both Tesreau and .Marquard have attained their last season's form for New York, and Hendrix and Oamnitz have resumed operations for the Pirates. Both teams have the natural strength to win ball games behind good pitching, which neither the Philadelphia nor the Brooklyn clubs, now lead ing the league, possess. That is the reason I figure out that the Giants and Pirates will finally battle for the title. The Cubs, who made such a brave showing at the beginning of the season, have faded very badly on this Eastern trip because of the crumbling of their pitching staff. Following this string of defeats, the dissension, which was anticipated, lias developed in the club. FODDER FOR FANS NOTICE!

So lotik' its the Cubs were near the I top. everything was rosy for him, ns | II is for any manager with a winning ball club. The fans were liehlml him. But now that the team has started to lose, the followers of the game are Utgiunlng to criticise Murphy for let ting t'linnee go. They were prepared to do that :tt the opening of the race, but the unexpected winning streak of the club prevented the knockers from getting In their tine work. 'I'UK Cults at present are playing below their normal speed, as they were traveling above it at the beginning of the schedule. They will pick tip some, hut I never expect to see them out in front leading the league race again this season. They have shot their bolt. They have not till' pitchers to stand the going which will lie furnished by the Philadelphia, Pittsburg and New York clubs from now on. The Quakers are still attracting at tention in the front, although 1 re garded the club as a flash (n the pan for a long time, and was surprised to see It hold up the pace for such a protracted period. I am now begin ning to be convinced that the team has a chance to stick tn the fight for the Hag with the Giants and Pirates, which teams are hound to make the quarreling toward the end of the schedule. What has surprised most close fol lowers of baseball Is the fact that the Philadelphia club Is represented by practically the same men whose nnm< • up)mured In Ihe box scores last season, and therefore Its start was not considered to lie serious. There have tieen two angles from which the team has greatly Improved. One is Ihe pitching staff which has always pnssessed the latent strength, and the other is the speed, pepper and ag gressiveness added to the club ttiHt can be attributed to the new condi tions in the management. The Phila- itself on the bases, and the players n»- « are running the sacks with the best teams In the league, taking all kinds of chances and frequently upsetting their opponents by these tactics. The pitching staff at present is one of the three strongest In the league. It Is hard to say which one will show up to be the best finally', as time alone can tell that—time and a couple of long, hard swings around the West ern circuit away from home grounds and sympathetic crowds. The Phila delphia club may go through a sea son such as tvas greatly enjoyed by the Boston Americans last year w hen they buzzed out, the schedule to a pennant with hardly an Injury. delphla team has a lot of fighters In the game who are always “crabbing,” and several of the players are very- fast. Dooin, now that he is no longer bothered by Horace Fogel, can inject a little of his own ginger into the club and Instill the players with bis own fighting spirit. • • * yr-NABK, the second baseman, is a great fighter, never giving up any point without an argument, and ltoolan Is another bur under the sad dle-flap to the umpires. He is also a very nifty shortstop, perhaps more highly regarded by ball players than by spectators. He covers acres of ground, and Is fast on his feet. He Is also a very regular pinch-hitter, as I have had reason to realize from some personal experience. Loliert 1ms added strength to the team this sea son, because he is a vicious batter and Is another “crabber.” The Infield of the Phillies right now is a strong one. The outfield Is likewise formidable with Magee. Paskert and I ravath covering the territory. Paskert is one of tlie best territory covering outfielders in the league, and Is sure on Gy und ground balls. He 1r not the hardest hitter In the world, but he is a good base runner, once he does get on the bags. Magee’s bat ting ability is beyond question. He will break up a ball game for you any time If you give him half a cliauce. He can hit a ball as hard as any man in the league, and. what is more, he does this with amazing fre quency. He is what is known in baseball as “a free-swinger,” and there are few men playing the game who can take a long wallop at the ball and connect. The added dash lo the team shows rT'HE lack of experienced substitutes -*■ is Dooln’s big weakness. If a couple of his regulars get bunged up and out of the game, lie won’t have anybody who cun properly fill their places. It was this shortage of good substitute material which caused the club to collapse so badly- last season. But should the team hold together as it stands to-day. it is going to make it interesting for any aggregation that is in the fight for the pennant. Par ticularly will it he hard to overtake the Philadelphia team if luck pur sues it persistently, as it sometimes does a club after it has deserted it entirely for a couple of seasons. The Quakers, it must lie remembered, are getting out farther ahead all the time and will have a chance to drop back. All that the Giants and Pittsburg teams can work at for the present is catching up, and if somebody does not stop the Phillies soon, they will both have a man’s-sized job on their hands to complete before September.
