CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.—Our second Western trip did not prove so suc cessful as did the first. The Phillies gained some ground on us. But I do not think our pennant chances have been materially damaged. Indeed, our team has done remarkably well on the road, and but for the unusual spurt of the Quakers no one would be at all anxious over the fact that the race has tightened a bit. Pittsburg jolted us in a manner I did not expect. But then the Pirates did no better than two out of three; tnd goodness knows, it was about time they won a series from us at Forbes Field. It has been long enough coming to be excused, and did not wipe out the rough treatment we handed Clarke's men on their last call at the Polo Grounds. As a usual thing, our club trims the Pirates in Smoke Town, while the Buccanneers. in turn, make life miserable for us at home. If these conditions have been reves-sed It makes practically no difference. I was pretty sore when that Smoke Town gang handed me a drubbing on Tuesday. It broke a string of ten straight victories.

Yet I should have liked very much to beat the eleven straight of young Boehling. my illustrious contemporary of the American League. Wrt’nin Game of Record. I was somewhat piqued because of the fact that I was within one game of his mark. Only the fact that he was a southpaw and a recruit aroused my ambition to go out for a season's record. One day cured all my dis appointment and made me look upon my reverse in a philosophical man ner. I was much more disappointed when Matty lost out on Wednesday. We had all been pulling for the "grand old master" to maintain his wonderful performance when it be came apparent that he had a chance for a record of straight wins. He had rung up seven straight before he fell a victim to the Pirates. Now, I think that these reverses will do us both a lot of good. Neither of us had been under any strain and we should come back stronger than ever. It was simply a case of Pitts burg catching us when, by all law of percentage, we were overdue to lose. I have learned from bitter expe rience that record making is no good thing for a pitcher who happens to be a main dependency of a box corps. The reaction from the first defeat un settles him for a long time. Phillies Hang On Grimly. We have not won the pennant yet. but Philadelphia will have the mer riest time of its life catching us. To my mind, the only chance of the Quakers is for them to clean up the games remaining with us. Such a possibility, in the light of what we have done to Dooin’s men to date, seems far-fetched. Philadelphia has played great ball lately and hung on grimly to us. But. sooner or later, the slump must hit them. We haven’t had exactly what you might call a slump on this trip, but we have had our share of the bad breaks. Larry Doyle has been out of commission most of the time.* while Chief Meyers is in New York with ti lacerated thumb. This pair has al ways been of Inestimable strength to our team, both offensively and defen lively. I think that we have done very well in the West considering their absence from the line-up. I have never seen a man who was so set upon winning a pennant and a world’s champioship as is McGraw this season. Our manager wishes to take a real club around the world with the White Sox. McGraw is continu ally drilling into us the importance of fighting every game to the last ditch. He is not worrying over the Quakers, but he is trying to impress upon all of us the importance of never for a moment letting up in our work. And I think he has all of us pulling together as harmoniously as any club In the history of baseball. Every man on the cluh is doing his level best—more. I believe, to please the boss than for the financial considera tion of October’s classic. Need of Backstop. McGraw’s earnestness of purpose has been reflected in the trade he negotiated just before he left Pitts burg for this city. He traded Otis Crandall for Larry McLean. With Meyers out of commission McGraw realized that the hitting strength of his club would be affected. McLean is a finished backstop and a very fine sticker. Crandall, one of the grandest fellows who ever drew breath, had been of great service in former years as a relief twirler and pinch hitter. But McGraw was well provided with pitching talent that could go the route. He strengthened the club by the trade. We were all very sorry to bid good-bye to Otis. He was a grand influence. Many a time his pleasing personality has helped to chase the blues from camp when we happened to meet with some unexpected mis fortune. I have said, in a previous article, that our pitching staff is the best in the major leagues. With the acquisi tion of Larry McLean I will back our catching department against any other. Heretofore, the class was naturally ascribed to the Cubs in Archer and Bresnahan. With the best pitchers and two of the four greatest catchers in the game, I think fandom will agree that New York will boast the greatest battery strength in its com pany. , Upon the battery strength I con fidently rely. I think it will prove an insurmountable obstacle to Philadel phia’s pennant hopes. BOXING News of the Ring Game Out in Los Angeles to-night Jack White, a brother to Charley White, and Johnny Dundee are to clash in a 20- round bout.

CRACKERS OPEN WITH TWO GAMES HERE THURSDAY p L ANTBNS & ..,y.c : s (-■&. V CAPSULES A LARGE crowd witnessed the af fair and, when It was over, an argument at once took place between the White and Whitney factions. Frank is also a great favorite in Chi cago. Just as Whitney was about to leave the gymnasium he encountered Nate Lewie. One word followed the other, and before many minutes had passed, Whitney told Lewis to get White and he would fight him then and there. The wrangle started when Lewis told Whitney that he had better get into shape for Charley or he would follow the path of Joe Thomas and Jake Abel. Evidently Lewis was try ing to get Frank's goat. Whitney was not in love with this line of talk and tt did not take him long to get heated up. O get your champion and I'll fight v-J him right here,” flashed Frank when Lewis told him to get a repu tation. “That's a go," retorted Lewis, who started after White. Cooler heads, however, prevailed and Lewis let Whitney go on his way. This information did not come from Frank first-handed. True, Frank ad mitted to the quarrel after a bit of sharp questioning. A personal friend of White wrote us yesterday telling of the encounter between the pair. HT’M sick of hearing these people 1 saying that White wdll stop me,” said Frank yesterday after he fin ished boxing three rounds at the At lanta Athletic Club. "In the first place.

This fellow might be a wonder, but, believe »pe. he isn’t stopping Frank Whitney. And be sides, don’t be surprised if Referee Castro lifts my hand at the end of the tenth round. “Frank Whitney is going into to morrow’s fight ready to do or die. This Lewis fellow has gone far enough with me and I look for him to be a pretty sad-eyed fellow after the fifth round. I have watched White fight and know his style. On the other hand, he has never seen me in action. This talk of mine may seem like boasting, but nevertheless I mean every word of it. Anyway, those who think White is going to beat Whitney kindly be at the Auditorium and they will get the surprise of their life.’’ THE above quarrel between White 1 and Lewis means that the two hoys are to clash in a grudge affair. Lewis will send White after Frank from the gong, and Whitney has never backed up for an opponent in an At lanta ring. Will he do It to-morrow night? This Is the question puzzling fight fans around these parts. White nnd Lewis will be here to day. Charley has finished training and will step in the ring In the pink of condition. Those who have seen Whitney will tell you that Frank was never better in his life. Therefore, neither boy will have an excuse to offer if defeated. T74NS around town are going wild * over the fight. On nearly every street corner the name White and Whitney can be heard. Many of them are for White and others for Frank. Tickets for the fight are going fast and a banner house should attend the affair. The pasteboards can be purchased at Shepherd’s Segar Store, Pryor and Edgewood, and at The Rex. DetroitGetsWilliams, Vols’ Star Southpaw NASHVILLE, TENN..
