(Star Southpaw of the Champion Giants and Holder of the World's Record for Consecutive Vic tories at Nineteen Straight.) 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 chanees have been mate, .ally 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 hit. Pittsburg jolted us In a manner I did not expect. But then the Pirates : did no better than two out of three: , and 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 fat the Polo Grounds. As a usual thing, our club trims the Pirates in Smoke Town, while I the Buccanneers. in turn, make life miserable for us at home. If these 1 conditions have been reversed 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. Within 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’3 record. One day cured ail 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 ho had a chance for a record of straight wins. Hr had rung up seven straight before lie 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 hack stronger than ever. It was simply a case of Pitts burg catching us when, by all law of percentSge, 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 mus»t hit "them. We haven’t had exactly what you might call a slump on this trip, bul 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 a lacerated thumb. This pair has al ways been of inestimable strength to our team, both offensively and defen sively. I think that we have done I very well in the West considering I their absence from the line-up. I have never seen a man who was I so set upon winning a pennant and a I world’s champioship as is McGravv , this season Our manager wishes to take a real club around the world with the White Sox. McGraw is continu I ally drilling into us the importance j of fighting every game to the last ditch. He is not worrying over the I Quakers, but he is trying to impress upon all of us the importance of never for a moment letting up in our I work. And I think he has all of us pulling together as harmoniously as any club j in the history of baseball. Every ' man on the club is doing his level j best—more. I believe, to please the • boss than for the financial considera- tion of October’s classic. Need of Backstop. I McGraw's earnestness of purpose BOXING News of the Ring Game hag 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 wat* 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 be. c »t in the major leagues. With the acquisi tion of Larry McLean I will back our catching department against any other. x „ 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 fldently rely. I think it will prove an insurmountable obstacle to Philadel phia’s pennant hopes. PIRATES RELEASE KOMMERS TO COLUMBUS BALL CLUB COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. 12.— Fred Kommers.

Manager Was Cause of Hot Wrangle in Chicago Gymnasium WHITE WH1TNEY BOUT TO BE GRUDGE AFFAIR ‘THE OLD RELIABLE” BOX BY MAIL60c .NY. By’Left Hook. F RANK WHITNEY is hot under the collar. Frank holds a per sonal grudge against Nate Lewis, manager of Charley White, and says he will get his revenge when he meets White at the Auditorium- Armory Wednesday night. Several days ago Whitney was in Chicago. Nate Lewis find White were also in the Windy City. Last Wednes day afternoon Lewis* and White took a trip to Whitney’s training quarters to see the latter in ut-tion. They had the opportunity. Frank donned tin mitts with Packey McFarland for three rounds and the air was full of flying gloves. • * * A LARGE crowd witnessed the nf- u*. 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 Slip Lewis" One word followed the other, and before many minutes hail passed. Whitney told Lewis to get White and he would fight him then and there. The wrangle started when Lewis told Whitnev that he had heller 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 it did not take him long to get heated up. ... <</”''o get vour oh implrai and i'll fight VJ him right here." flashed Frank when Lewis told him to get a repu tation. "Thai'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 arter a bit of sharp questioning. A personal friend of White wrote ns yesterday telling of the encounter between the pair. • * • ill M sick of hearing those people I saving that White w ill stop me.” said Frank yesterday after he fin ished boxing three rounds at the At lanta Athletic Club.

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 hint to hr* 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 rnay seem like boasting, but nevertheless I mean every word of it. Anyway, those who think White is going to heat Whitney kindly he at the Auditorium and they will get the surprise of their life.’’ • • • THE above quarrel between White 1 and Lewis means Jrhat the two boys are to cl a eh 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 and Lewis will he here to day Charley has finished training and will step in the ring In the pink of condition.

Therefore, neither boy will have an excuse to offer if defeated. • • • U\XS around town are going wild 1 over the flgpht. On nearly every street corner the name White and Whitney can he heard.
